Launch Control

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 environment, and within the limits of the law. The
capabilities of the vehicle as measured by the performance pages must
never be exploited 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.
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.
