• AUTO mode will provide a sporty comfortable ride,

where as SPORT or TRACK will be a firmer, sportier
suspension with better handling.

• Track Mode — This mode includes SPORT suspension

and affects transmission shifting in either “Auto” or
“Manual” mode. Refer to “AutoStick” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information. In TRACK
mode, the transmission has a sportier, more aggressive
shift pattern. In Manual mode, the transmission will
hold gear at redline during manual shifting (console
shifter or paddle shifters).

light up in the instrument cluster. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Description” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.

LAUNCH MODE – IF EQUIPPED

This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control system that
is designed to allow the driver to achieve maximum vehicle
acceleration in a straight line. Launch Control is a form of
traction control that manages tire slip while launching the
vehicle. This feature is intended for use during race events
on a closed course where consistent quarter mile and zero to
sixty times are desired. The system is not intended to
compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with
the race track. Use of this feature in low traction (cold, wet,
gravel, etc) conditions may results in excess wheel slip
outside this systems control resulting in an aborted launch.

Preconditions:

• Launch control should not be used on public roads.

Always check track conditions and the surrounding area.

• Launch Control is not available for the first 500 miles

of vehicle life.
