Driving your vehicle
僅 Do not operate both brake and accel-
erate pedals simultaneously for longer
than 4 seconds.
僅 When re-using Launch Control, a
driver should have the vehicle cool
down sufficiently by driving.
Limited use of Launch Control (3)
OCK040158L
僅 A warning message will pop up on the
screen if the transmission fluid tem-
perature is above a certain level while
using Launch Control. Also, Launch
Control will be automatically deacti-
vated.
僅 To address the issue as above, a
driver should cool down the transmis-
sion fluid temperature by driving the
vehicle. (Driving at a constant speed
over 37 mph (60 km/h) is highly rec-
ommended, but this should only be
done if traffic and road conditions
permit the driver to do so safely.)
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the driver to
make sure it is safe before using Launch
Control. Do not use Launch Control on
public roads or when pedestrian conges-
tion is present. Doing so could result in
an accident that causes serious injuries.
NOTICE
Launch performance can vary depend-
ing on fuel, environment, tire, and load-
ing conditions.
CAUTION
Constant use of Launch Control can put
enormous stress on transmission,
engine, and drive shafts and can result
in vehicle damage. It is highly recom-
mended that Launch Control is used
after completion of the vehicle brake-in
process.
