Stability Control; Competitive Driving Mode - Chevrolet Corvette 2015 Owner's Manual

Stability Control

Competitive Driving Mode allows
less computer control to permit
some slide and drift and is
selected with the
available in Track mode.
StabiliTrak can be turned off by
pressing and holding the
button for 10 seconds.
PTM (Performance Traction
Management) (if equipped)
Available in Track mode.
There are five selectable
settings if Competitive Driving
Mode is activated.

Competitive Driving Mode

If equipped, Competitive Driving
Mode, Performance Traction
Management, and Launch Control
are systems designed to allow
increased performance while
accelerating and/or cornering. This
is accomplished by regulating and
optimizing the engine, brakes, and
suspension 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 driver
button only
inexperience or lack of familiarity
with the race track. Drivers who
prefer to allow the system to have
more control of the engine, brake,
and suspension are advised to turn
the normal traction control and
StabiliTrak systems on.
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not
have traction may cause damage
to the transmission. Damage
caused by misuse of the vehicle
is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not attempt to shift
when the drive wheels do not
have traction.
Driving and Operating
Caution
Competitive Driving Mode
(Except Z51 and Z06 with
Magnetic Ride Control)
Competitive Driving Mode allows full
engine power while StabiliTrak
helps maintain directional control of
the vehicle by selective brake
application. In this mode, TCS is off
and Launch Control is available.
Adjust your driving style to account
for the available engine power. See
Launch Control later in this
section.
