Launch Mode
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 ex-
ploited 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.
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 results in excess wheel slip outside this
systems control resulting in an aborted launch.
NOTE:
• Launch control should not be used on
public roads. Always check track condi-
tions and the surrounding area.
• Launch Control is not available for the
first 500 miles of the vehicle's life.
• 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. Use on
slippery or loose surfaces may cause
damage to vehicle components and is not
recommended.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Launch Control is only available when the fol-
lowing procedure is followed:
1. Press the "Apps" button on the touchscreen,
