Dodge challenger 2017, User'S Manual Supplement

Page: 19 / 79

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
during race events on a closed course where consistent
quarter mile and zero to sixty 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 Mode should not be used on public roads.
Always check track conditions and the surrounding
area.
•
Launch Mode is not available for the first 500 miles of
the vehicle’s life.
•
Launch Mode should only be used when the engine and
transmission are at operating temperature.
•
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 recom-
mended.
