ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled dampening system. This
system reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering,
acceleration and braking.
This system allows for a street suspension damping setting or a firmer race suspension
damping setting. There are two modes of operation:
STREET MODE
This mode will give a sporty, but comfort-
able ride.
This mode is driver selectable when the
vehicle is placed in STREET mode (press
the “STREET” button on the Instrument
Panel).
NOTE:
The suspension mode will lock and stay in
whatever the driver selects even when the
ignition is turned off and the car restarted.
This mode is intended for a smoother
ride on the various types of pavement
and road conditions while still providing
damping levels appropriate extreme capabilities.
RACE MODE
Race mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in RACE mode (press the
“RACE” button on the Instrument Panel).
This mode is for track use only and will supply maximum grip to the tires.
When RACE mode is enabled, a Shock symbol with “RACE” next to it will light up in
the instrument cluster .
NOTE:
The RACE setting will provide a firmer ride.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
The ESC corrects for oversteering and understeering the vehicle by applying the brake
of the appropriate wheel. Engine power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting
the condition of oversteer or understeer and help the vehicle maintain the desired path.
In full on mode ESC utilizes sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver
intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the
actual path does not match the intended path, the ESC applies the brake of the
appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer.
