LAUNCH ASSIST
(XR6 Turbo with a manual
transmission only)
Launch assist is a feature that enables
the consistent and smooth launch
of the vehicle at positive turbo boost
pressures without damaging driveline or
turbocharger components. It is activated
when the vehicle is stationary, the
clutch is fully disengaged (clutch pedal
to the floor), and some accelerator is
applied. The engine speed is limited to a
predetermined number of rpm.
WARNING
Rapid acceleration can
compromise traction under
certain road and weather conditions.
Always observe the local speed limit and
drive safely, adjusting your driving to suit
the road and weather conditions.
Using launch assist
To activate launch assist, follow the
procedure below:
1. Car must be stationary.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor to
disengage the clutch.
3. Press the accelerator pedal to bring
the rev counter up to 3500rpm.
Note:
The engine speed will be limited
to 3500rpm.
4. Hold for approximately 3 seconds.
5. Some engine roughness will
be felt due to fuel injectors to
random individual cylinders being
automatically switched off. This
is normal and does not indicate
malfunction.
Turbocharged vehicles
6. Release the clutch whilst keeping
some accelerator applied. Normal
engine operation will be reactivated.
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE
(Turbo vehicles only)
Turbo vehicles have a control strategy
which limits engine torque at high oil
temperatures. This is noticeable as a
progressive reduction in engine speed
and torque.
The oil warning indicator pop up will flash
until normal operating temperature is
reached.
