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
off-highway use where maximum acceleration is
desired. The system is not intended to
compensate for lack of driver experience or
familiarity with the terrain. Use of this feature in
low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.) conditions
may results in excess wheel slip outside this
system's control resulting in an aborted launch.
Preconditions:
Launch Control should not be used on public

roads. Always check surface conditions and
the surrounding area.
Launch Control is not available within the

