designed for a closed course race
track and not intended for use on
public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of
driver experience or familiarity with
the race track.

Use Mode 5 for the most consistent
performance during drag strip use.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle

Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle
can give more traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When
traction is low, this feature allows
the drive wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle. The
limited-slip rear axle also gives the
driver enhanced control when
cornering hard or completing a
maneuver, such as a lane change.

Selective Ride Control

ZL1 Only
The vehicle has a ride control
system called Magnetic Selective
Ride Control. The system provides
the following performance benefits:
Reduced Impact Harshness
Improved Road Isolation
Improved High-Speed Stability
Improved Handling Response
Better Control of Body Ride
Motions
The Selective Ride buttons are on
the center console. Press to select
the suspension of your choice. The
indicator light will illuminate the
current suspension setting.
TOUR: Use for normal city and
highway driving. The TOUR button
selects a suspension and Electric
Power Steering (EPS) calibration
that provides a smooth, soft ride.
SPORT: Use where road conditions
or personal preference demand
more control. The SPORT button
selects a suspension and EPS
calibration that provides more feel,
or response to the road conditions.
The setting can be changed at any
time. Based on road conditions,
steering wheel angle, and the
vehicle speed, the system
automatically adjusts to provide the
best handling while providing a
smooth ride. The Tour and Sport
modes will feel similar on a smooth
road. Select a new setting whenever
driving conditions change.
