WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could
skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
DRIVE MODES — SRT
Your SRT vehicle is equipped with a SRT Drive
Mode feature. This feature gives the driver con-
trol over the systems in the vehicle which affect
its performance, enabling the driver to tune it
for desired driving scenarios.
NOTE:
Refer to "SRT Drive Modes" in "Multimedia" in
the Owner's Manual for further descriptions of
these modes.
Launch Mode — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Mode
system that is designed to allow the driver to
achieve maximum vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Mode is a form of traction
control that manages tire slip while launching
the vehicle. This feature is intended for use
118
during race events on a closed course where
consistent quarter mile and zero to sixty times
are desired. The system is not intended to com-
pensate for lack of driver experience or familiar-
ity with the race track. Use of this feature in low
traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.) conditions may
result in excess wheel slip outside of this sys-
tem's control, resulting in an aborted launch.
NOTE:
• Launch mode is not available within the first
500 miles of engine break-in.
• Torque Reserve is implemented during
Launch Mode, so you may notice different
engine/exhaust sounds and increased NVH.
Preconditions:
• Launch Mode should not be used on public
roads. Always check track conditions and the
surrounding area.
• Launch mode is not available within the first
500 miles of engine break-in.
• Launch Mode should only be used when the
engine and transmission are at operating tem-
perature.
• Launch Mode is intended to be used on dry,
paved road surfaces only. Use on slippery or
loose surfaces may cause damage to vehicle
components and is not recommended.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Launch Mode is only available when the follow-
ing procedure is followed:
1. Push the LAUNCH button on the center
stack switch bank.
NOTE:
Pushing the SRT button on the center stack
or pressing Race Options within Drive
Modes, then selecting the Launch Control
tab, followed by the soft, Launch Control
button are two other options to access
launch control features. Please refer to "SRT
Drive Modes" in "Multimedia" in the Own-
er's Manual for further information.
2. Slide the RPM slider bar on the touchscreen.
This screen will allow you to adjust your
launch RPM's for optimum launch/traction.
3. Press the "Activate Launch Mode" button
on the touchscreen.
