damping system. This system reduces body roll and
pitch in many driving situations including cornering,
acceleration and braking. There are 3 modes:
•
Street Mode (Available in terrain positions AUTO,
SNOW and CUSTOM.) — Used during highway
speeds where a touring suspension feel is desired.
•
Sport Mode (Available in terrain positions AUTO,
SPORT, CUSTOM and TOW.) — Provides a firm sus-
pension for better handling.
•
Track Mode (Available in terrain positions AUTO,
TRACK and CUSTOM.) — Provides a full firm suspen-
sion for an aggressive track experience.
Refer to the Drive Mode Supplement for further
information.
LAUNCH CONTROL
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 result in excess wheel slip outside this systems
control resulting in an aborted launch.
Preconditions:
•
Launch Control should not be used on public roads.
Always check track conditions and the surrounding
area.
•
Launch Control is not available within the first
500 miles (805 km) 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.
CAUTION!
Use on slippery or loose surfaces may cause damage
to vehicle components and is not recommended.
Launch Control is only available when the following pro-
cedure is followed:
NOTE:
Pushing the LAUNCH button on the instrument panel
will access Launch Control features. Please refer to the
Drive Mode Supplement for further information.
