Track burnishing your brakes:
To avoid "green lining fade" during track use, the brake pads and rotors
must have a thermal burnish for factory installed components or when new
brake friction components are installed:
1. Use one track session to burnish brakes by driving at 75% speed. Brake
at approximately 0.60 - 0.80g max without ABS intervention.
2. Lap the track in this manner until you start smelling the brakes.
Continue for another ½ lap at speed, then do a two lap cool down with
minimal brake applies. Make sure the brakes are not smoking. If they
are, do another cool down lap.
3. Do not continue for more than one full burnishing lap after you start
smelling the brakes. Do not get them smoking heavily. This will get them
too hot and affect their life negatively in future track use.
4. Allow vehicle to sit and cool in the paddock for at least 30 min. If an
infrared thermal gun is available, allow rotors to cool to 200 °F (93.3 °C)
before going back out.
5. There should be a thin, ash layer when inspecting the pads installed in
the caliper. Having the ash layer go more than half the thickness of the
pad material indicates too aggressive of a burnish.
6. Sometimes, a second burnish session is required. If the pads start
smelling in the next track session, reduce speed and braking decel to
burnish targets and follow steps 2-4.

7. New pads installed on old rotors still need to be burnished. New rotors
installed with old pads should be burnished at the track or street driven
for 300 city miles to develop an adequate lining transfer layer on the
rotor surface prior to track use.
8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should be replaced.
NOTE: Resurfacing of the rotors is not recommended, as it removes
mass from the rotor, reducing its thermal capacity. Resurfacing also
thins the rotor cheek, making it less robust and increasing the likelihood
of pulsation in further track use.

Shift Light

Your vehicle is equipped with a shift light feature that illuminates the back
lighting of the tachometer (in red) within the instrument cluster display.
This feature is a visual cue to manually up-shift using the paddle shifters or
shifting the transmission gear selector.
To actuate the Shift Light feature, press the "Shift Light" button on the
touchscreen, then press the "Shift Light On" button on the touchscreen.
Activation is shown on the instrument cluster display. Pressing the "Shift
Light RPM Set-Up" button on the touchscreen will take you to the Shift
Light RPM Set-Up screen.
NOTE: You must have the shifter in the manual position (left of Drive), or
have paddle shifters enabled for the shift light feature to work.
