32 Driving and Operating
After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode or PTM.
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM,
and Launch Control are systems
designed for a closed course race
track and not intended for use on
public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of
driver experience or familiarity with
the race track.
Custom Launch Control may be
available through the Settings
menu, if equipped. See Custom
Launch Control in Track Events and
Competitive Driving 0 14.
Limited-Slip Differential
The Electronic Limited-Slip
Differential (eLSD) is a hydraulically
actuated clutch system. It can
infinitely vary the clutch
engagement between 0 and 200
(147 lb ft) of breakaway torque
between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement
within 0.150 seconds when
necessary. Smaller clutch
adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
Uses the vehicle sensors and
driver inputs to determine the
optimum amount of clutch
engagement for the conditions.
Improves traction while
cornering by changing the
engagement to achieve a
balance between directional
control and acceleration.
Provides optimal engagement
for high-speed control and
stability without affecting precise
steering and turn-in.
Improves vehicle stability during
spirited driving and evasive
maneuvers. Is fully integrated
with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction
Management (PTM) systems.
There are unique calibrations based
on the Traction Control System
(TCS) setting. eLSD modes change
automatically when is pressed.
No unique input from the driver is
required.
Mode 1 is the standard mode
when the vehicle is started.
It provides a touring calibration
with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in
PTM Wet mode.
Mode 2 is engaged when both
TCS and StabiliTrak are turned
off. This calibration provides
more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners.
Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is
engaged in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and
Race modes. This is a nimble
calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2,
however, it is integrated to work
with PTM.
