DRIVE MODES
Your SR T vehicle is equipped with a SRT Drive Mode feature. This feature gives the driver
control over the systems in the vehicle which affect its performance, enabling the driver
to tune it for desired driving scenarios. Below are the modes of operation:
NOTE:
Refer to “Drive Modes” in “Understanding Y our Instrument Panel” in the Owner’ s Manual
on the DVD for further descriptions of these modes.
Launch Mode — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control system that is designed to allow the driver
to achieve maximum vehicle acceleration in a straight line. Launch Control is a form of
traction control that manages tire slip while launching the vehicle. This feature is
intended for use during race events on a closed course where consistent quarter mile and
zero to sixty times are desired. The system is not intended to compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with the race track. Use of this feature in low traction (cold, wet,
gravel, etc.) conditions may results in excess wheel slip outside this systems control
resulting in an aborted launch.
NOTE:
Launch mode is not available within the first 500 miles of engine break-in.
Preconditions:
• Launch control should not be used on public roads. Always check track conditions and
the surrounding area.
• Launch mode is not available within the first 500 miles of engine break-in.
• Launch Control should only be used when the engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.
• Launch Control is intended to be used on dry , paved road surfaces only. Use on slippery
or loose surfaces may cause damage to vehicle components and is not recommended.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Launch Control is only available when the following procedure is followed:
1. Push the LAUNCH button on the center stack switch bank.
NOTE:
Pushing the SR T button on the center stack or pressing the “Apps” button on the
touchscreen are two other options to access launch control features. Please refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Y our Instrument Panel” within your Owner’ s
Manual on the DVD or the “Drive Modes Supplement” for further information.
2. Press the “Launch RPM Set-Up” button on the touchscreen. This screen will allow you
to adjust your launch RPM’ s for optimum launch/traction.
3. Press the “Activate Launch Mode” button on the touchscreen.
4. Make sure the vehicle is not moving.
