Warning
Prior to each track event and again
before returning to public roads, tighten
the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specification. Wheel
nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
tightened can cause the wheels to
become loose or come off, resulting in a
crash. See
for wheel nut torque specifications.
If equipped, the front licence plate bracket
should be removed and replaced with the
aero cover for track use.

Check the oil level often and maintain
the proper level. See

Engine Cooling
If reduced performance is experienced during
track events or competitive driving, turning
off the A/C will help to improve engine
performance.

coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to
optimise engine performance.

required.
Caution

and compounds that may damage the
vehicle and void the vehicle warranty. See
Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid
The Transmission fluid and external filter
should be changed after every 24 hours of
track usage. If prompted by the transmission
fluid life monitor that remaining fluid life is
low, the fluid and external filter should be
changed as soon as possible.
Add an additional 2 L of DCT transmission
fluid prior to track usage. It is not required
to remove the additional 2 L of DCT fluid.
Any transmission level set or change should
be performed at your dealer.
