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 (push
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 vehicle re-
started.
• 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 (push 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.
