Launch Control (V-Series Only)
A Launch Control feature is available,
within Performance Traction
Management, to allow the driver to
achieve high levels of vehicle
acceleration in a straight line. Launch
Control is a form of traction control
that manages tire spin while
launching the vehicle. This feature is
intended for use during closed course
race events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available when
the following criteria are met:
.
Performance Traction
Management modes are selected.
The TCS light comes on in the
instrument cluster and the
appropriate DIC message displays.
.
The vehicle is not moving.
.
The steering wheel is pointing
straight.
.
The brake pedal must be firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent to
a panic brake event.
.
The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle. (If
the vehicle rolls due to wide open
throttle, release the throttle, press
the brake pedal more firmly, and
re-apply the accelerator to wide
open throttle.)
