Launch Control is only available when the fol-
lowing procedure is followed:
1. Press the "Apps" button on the touchscreen,
select Performance Control, and press the
"Launch Control" button on the touchscreen
or push the Super Track Pak button on the
center stack switch bank.
2. Press the "Launch RPM Set-Up" button on
the touchscreen. This screen will allow you
to adjust your launch RPM for optimum
launch/traction. To adjust the Launch RPM,
press and drag the slider bar or press the
arrows on the touchscreen to adjust the
holding RPM. Press the back arrow button
when finished. The setting will be saved.
NOTE:
The default for launch control is 3000 RPM.
Optimal launch RPM will depend on the
engine and tires on the vehicle, as well as
road and weather conditions. Not all RPM
settings will be usable in all configurations
and scenarios. If requested launch RPM is
not attainable in a given scenario, the en-
gine will provide the maximum amount of
torque possible to get as close as possible
to the requested RPM.

the touchscreen.
4. Ensure the vehicle is not moving and the
steering wheel is pointing straight.
5. Fully depress the clutch pedal and verify the

apply the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. The engine speed will hold at the
RPM that was set in the "Launch RPM
Set-up" screen.
NOTE:
Messages will appear in the Driver Informa-
tion Display (DID) to inform the driver if one
or more of the above conditions have not
been met.
7. When conditions four through six have been
met, the DID will read "Launch Ready Re-
lease Clutch." Release the clutch quickly
and continue to hold wide open throttle to
