DRIVE MODES

Your SRT vehicle is equipped with a SRT Drive Mode feature. This feature gives the driver
control over the systems in the vehicle which affect its performance, enabling the driver
to tune it for desired driving scenarios. Below are the modes of operation:
NOTE:
Refer to "Drive Modes" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in the Owner's Manual
on www.dodge.com/en/owners/manuals for further descriptions of these modes.
Launch Control — If Equipped
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 use during race events on a closed course where consistent quarter mile
(400m) and 0 to 60 (100km/h) times are desired. The system is not intended to
compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the race track. Use of this
feature in low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.) conditions may results in excess wheel slip
outside this systems control resulting in an aborted launch.
NOTE:
Launch control is not available within the first 500 miles (804 km) of engine break-in.
Preconditions:
• Launch control should not be used on public roads. Always check track conditions and
the surrounding area.
• Launch Control should only be used when the engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.
• Launch Control 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.
Launch Control is available when the following 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 "Uconnect Settings" in
"Understanding Your
www.dodge.com/en/owners/manuals, or the "Drive Modes Supplement", for further infor-
mation.

to adjust your launch RPM's for optimum launch/traction.
3. Push the "Activate Launch Control" button on the touchscreen.
