Launch Control
If equipped, Launch Control is
available within Competitive Driving
Mode and Performance Traction

levels of vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a

manages tire spin while launching
the vehicle. This feature is intended
for use during closed course race
events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
Competitive Driving Mode is
selected or any of the
Performance Traction
Management modes are
selected. The TCS light comes
on in the instrument cluster and
the appropriate Driver
Information Center (DIC)
message displays.
