Competitive Driving Mode - Chevrolet 2011 Camaro Owner's Manual

Competitive Driving Mode

Competitive Driving Mode and
Launch Control are systems
designed to allow increased
performance while accelerating and/
or cornering. This is accomplished
by regulating and optimizing engine
and brake performance. These
modes are for use at a closed
course race track and are not
intended for use on public roads.
They will not compensate for a
driver s inexperience or lack of
familiarity with the race track.
Drivers who prefer to allow the
system to have more control of
the engine and brake systems
are advised to turn StabiliTrak
on. See Competitive Driving on
page 9 7 for more information.
Notice: Do not attempt to
shift when the drive wheels
are spinning and do not have
traction. This may cause damage
to the transmission. Damage
caused by misuse of the vehicle
is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. See the warranty book
for additional information.
Competitive Driving Mode
In Competitive Driving Mode, the
StabiliTrak System helps maintain
directional control of the vehicle
by selective brake application
and control of engine torque.
The Traction Control System
(TCS) helps control wheel spin
and Launch Control is available.
Adjust your driving style to account
for the available engine power.
See Launch Control later in this
section.
