Prerequisite Conditions:
1. Vehicle speed must be 0 mph (0 km/h).
2. Engine running speed greater than 500 RPM.
3. Radiator coolant temp less than 250°F (121°C).
4. Odometer greater than 500 miles (805 kilometers).
5. Cruise Control, Launch Mode, TransBrake™ 2.0 and
Valet Mode are disengaged.
6. All doors closed.
Instructions for Line Lock (burnout) are displayed in
instrument cluster display, and listed as follows:
1. Press the brake pedal to hold the car still while
transmission is in DRIVE.
2. Firmly select the “Activate Line Lock Control” feature
through the infotainment screen.
3. Press and hold the “OK” button on the steering
wheel to activate “Line Lock”. The front brakes are
now applied.
4. While still holding down the “OK” button, fully
release the brake pedal and apply the gas pedal to
begin the burnout.
○
The front brakes remain engaged as the rear
tires spin. Engine speed is limited to 5000 RPM,
and the transmission upshifts to a maximum of
4th gear with the gear selector in "D".
○
To release the front brakes and drive through
the burnout, release the "OK" button.
○
Line Lock will cancel if the “OK” button is
released, the gas pedal is lifted, the brake pedal
is pressed, or the maximum number of tire revo-
lutions is reached.
NOTE:
ET Street R Rear Tires do not require an extensive burn-
out to achieve desired tire launch temperature. It is
recommended that the tire surface temperature after
the bunout be within 20°F (7°C) of the current track
temperature.
•
If track temperature is 65°F (18°C) or lower, a lon-
ger burnout may be necessary.
•
If track temperature is 120°F (49°C) or above, a
shorter burnout will suffice.
TRANSBRAKE™ 2.0 FEATURE —
TRACK USE ONLY
TransBrake™ 2.0 was designed specifically for Demon
170 to maximize drag strip performance. Like the origi-
nal TransBrake™, it engages an additional transmission
clutch to enable higher staging torque than can be held
by the vehicle brakes. TransBrake™ 2.0 debuts a new
interface and additional traction management features
to provide the most consistent launches and ease-of-
use across the range of dragstrip surface conditions.
With a new infotainment interface, TransBrake™
2.0 allows the driver to pre-program the engine's torque
delivery as a function of time-from-launch and during
1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd gear upshifts, to design a rate of
torque increase matched to the provided track condi-
tions. Torque Reserve is automatically enabled and
responsible for the unique sound of TransBrake™
2.0 operation; it reduces intake filling time and allows
more torque to be delivered more quickly than would
otherwise be possible.
The system is easier to use than ever: pre-program the
launch RPM and torque behavior, then use the steering
wheel paddles to time the perfect launch. TransBrake™
2.0 automatically delivers the desired launch torque
curve while the driver maintains full throttle.
This sophisticated set of features is intended for track
use only, where consistent quarter mile times are
desired. The system is not intended to compensate for
lack of driver experience or familiarity with the track.
Use of this feature in low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.)
conditions may result in excess wheel slip at launch.
