Automatic Transmissions

.

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.)

The Launch Control feature will
initially limit engine speed as the
driver rapidly applies the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the
engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth,
quick release of the brake pedal, while
maintaining the fully pressed
accelerator pedal, will manage
wheel slip.

After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Performance
Traction Management (V-Series).

Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and
Launch Control are systems designed
for a closed course race track and not
intended for use on public roads. The
systems are not intended to
compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with the race
track.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
(Except V-Series)

If equipped, the mechanical
limited-slip differential can give more
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand,
or gravel. It works like a standard axle
most of the time, but when traction is
low, this feature allows the drive
wheel with the most traction to move
the vehicle. For vehicles with
limited-slip differential, driven under
severe conditions, the rear axle fluid
should be changed.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
(V-Series Only)

If equipped, the Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) is
automatically activated. eLSD actively
monitors vehicle sensors and driver
inputs to determine the amount of
change for the conditions. With eLSD,
the vehicle has:

.

Enhanced high-speed control.

.

Improved traction through
corners, allowing more
acceleration.

.

More precise steering.

.

Increased vehicle agility.

.

Integration with StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

For vehicles with eLSD, driven under
severe conditions, the rear axle fluid
should be changed.
