Conclusion Of Each Track Event
•
It is recommended that a brake bleed proce-
dure is performed to maintain the pedal feel
and stopping capability of your brake system.
•
It is recommended that each track outing
should end with a minimum of 1 cool down
lap using minimal braking.
•
Following each track session, tires should be
inspected for wear.
NOTE:
•
All SRT vehicles are track tested for
24 hours of endurance, however, it is rec-
ommended
that suspension system,
brake system, prop shaft, and ½ shaft
boots should be checked for wear or dam-
age after every track event.
•
Track usage results in increased operat-
ing temperatures of the engine, transmis-
sion, clutch, driveline and brake system.
This may affect noise (NVH) countermea-
sures designed into your vehicle. New
components may need to be installed to
return the system to the original NVH
performance.
For ACR models, please review the supplemen-
tal manual for track tips.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY
SURFACES
Acceleration
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. You could lose control of the
vehicle and possibly have a collision. Accel-
erate slowly and carefully whenever there is
likely to be poor traction (ice, snow, wet, mud,
loose sand, etc.).
Traction
When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is
possible for a wedge of water to build up be-
tween the tire and road surface. This is hydro-
planing and may cause partial or complete loss
of vehicle control and stopping ability. To reduce
this possibility, the following precautions should
be observed:
1. Slow down during rainstorms or when roads
are slushy.
2. Slow down if road has standing water or
puddles.
CAUTION!
Driving your vehicle through deep puddles at
speeds over 5 mph (8 km/h), may cause
water to be ingested into the engine. This can
cause severe engine damage.
3. Replace tires when tread wear indicators first
become visible.
4. Keep tires properly inflated.
5. Maintain enough distance between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a
collision in a sudden stop.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Driving through water more than a few inches/
centimeters deep will require extra caution to
ensure safety and prevent damage to your
vehicle.
Flowing/Rising Water
WARNING!
Do not drive on or across a road or path
where water is flowing and/or rising (as in
storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away
the road or path’s surface and cause your
vehicle to sink into deeper water. Further-
more, flowing and/or rising water can carry
