Launch Control
If equipped, Launch Control is available
within Competitive Driving Mode and
Performance Traction Management (PTM) to
allow high levels of vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a form of
traction control that 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
traction off light comes on in the
instrument cluster and the appropriate
Driver Information Center (DIC) message
displays.
The vehicle is not moving.
The steering wheel is pointing straight.
Manual Transmissions
The clutch is fully pressed and the
transmission is in 1 (First) gear.
The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied
and held to wide open throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit engine
speed as you rapidly apply the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the
engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth, quick
release of the clutch, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage
wheel slip.
Automatic Transmissions
The brake pedal is firmly pressed to the
floor, equivalent to a panic brake event.
The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to
wide open throttle. If the vehicle rolls due
to wide open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal more
firmly, and re-apply the accelerator to
wide open throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit engine
speed as you rapidly apply the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the
engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth, quick
release of the brake pedal, while
maintaining the fully pressed accelerator
pedal, will manage wheel slip.
After the vehicle is launched, the system
continues in Competitive Driving Mode
or PTM.
