Staging the Vehicle
1. Pull back on both paddle shifters.
2. With the left foot, firmly press the brake pedal until
minimum pressure is achieved as indicated in the
instrument cluster.
3. Activate TransBrake 2.0 Pre-Stage Control by quickly
applying full throttle. The accelerator pedal must be
fully pressed to the floor to proceed.
NOTE:
Torque Reserve will activate, and engine speed will
increase to and hold at 1500 RPM.
4. While maintaining full throttle, modulate brake pres-
sure to move the vehicle forward to illuminate the
dragstrip’s pre-stage and stage lights.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to activate Pre-Stage Control
before illuminating the pre-stage and stage lights. If
desired, the vehicle can be fully staged before enter-
ing TransBrake 2.0.
5. As soon as the staged light illuminates, release one
shift paddle to engage TransBrake 2.0.
NOTE:
○
Engine speed will automatically advance to the
selected launch RPM.
○
Once engaged, TransBrake 2.0 cancels automati-
cally after 15 seconds.
6. When prompted by the instructions in the instru-
ment cluster, release the brake pedal.
NOTE:
○
The brake pedal cannot be released until the
transmission’s fourth clutch is engaged, which
occurs approximately 0.5 seconds after the shift
paddle is released. If the brake pedal is released
too soon, TransBrake 2.0 will cancel and a mes-
sage will appear in the instrument cluster.
○
The Electronic Stability Control system will con-
tinue holding the brake pressure after the pedal
is released to maintain driveline pre-load.
Launching the Vehicle
1. Once the brake pedal has reached its fully retracted
position, release the remaining shift paddle to
launch the vehicle. Torque will be delivered accord-
ing to the Launch Torque and Shift Torque settings
defined in the active memory configuration.
NOTE:
○
If the second shift paddle is released before the
brake pedal has reached its fully retracted posi-
tion, TransBrake 2.0 will cancel and a message
will appear in the instrument cluster.
○
If wheelspin occurs during launch, it is possible
to reduce engine torque by momentarily lifting
the accelerator pedal. TransBrake 2.0 Launch
Torque delivery will resume when the accelerator
is returned to the fully applied position.
○
If all necessary conditions have not been satis-
fied, the TransBrake 2.0 feature may cancel and
trigger a “dead pedal” condition, in which the
accelerator pedal request is ignored and engine
speed returns to idle. If this occurs, press the
brake pedal firmly, release the shift paddles,
release the accelerator pedal, and restart the
launch sequence.
LAUNCH CONTROL — TRACK USE
ONLY
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control system
that is designed to assist the driver in achieving maxi-
mum straight-line vehicle acceleration. This feature is
intended for use only on the track, where consistent
quarter mile and 0-60 MPH times are desired. The sys-
tem is not intended to compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with the race track. Use of
Launch Control in low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.)
conditions may result in excess wheel slip outside of
the system's control.
Once Launch Control is activated, stage torque is built
according to the selected launch RPM. Torque Reserve
is automatically enabled at launch set points of
1300 RPM and above, to reduce the time required for
the intake system to fill with air. For additional informa-
tion on Torque Reserve,
page 25.
