5. Rapidly press the accelerator pedal to the
floor within one second.
NOTE:
If the instrument cluster message indicates
all conditions are correct for launch and the
throttle is pressed to the floor quickly (within
approximately 1/2 second) the system will
hold the engine speed to a preset speed
(below the engine rev limiter speed).
6. Release the clutch aggressively. Do not ride
the clutch.
Release the accelerator pedal to deactivate
launch control. Pushing the launch control but-
ton or actuating the brakes will also deactivate
launch control.
NOTE:
• Launch Mode brings the engine to opti-
mum launch RPM and waits for the driver
to release the clutch. Launch Mode then
uses engine throttle only to achieve con-
trolled wheelslip for maximum accelera-
tion through first gear.
• Launch Mode can be used in any of the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Modes.
• Launch Mode should not be used within
the first 500 miles (805 km) of engine
break-in.
WARNING!
Launch Mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only and should not be used on
any public roadways. It is recommended that
this feature be used in a controlled environ-
ment, and within the limits of the law. The
capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the
performance pages must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner, which
can jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety
of others. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents.
TRACK USE
Guidelines For Track Use
NOTE:
Because of the extreme conditions encoun-
tered during track use, any damage or wear
associated with track use is not covered by
warranty.
• It is recommended that the shocks be
operated in RACE mode, if equipped.
• ESC is track capable in all modes.
Prior To Each Track Event/Day
• Verify all fluids are at the correct levels. Refer
to “Fluid Capacities” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
• Verify the front and rear brake pads have
more than ½ pad thickness remaining. If the
brake pads require changing, please burnish
prior to track outing at full pace.
• Tire pressure:
– 35psi hot recommended. This typically
can be achieved with cold pressures be-
tween 25 and 29 psi, depending on driver,
track, and ambient conditions.
