Competitive Driving Mode (Except ZR1) Competitive Driving Mode allows full engine power while the Active Handling System helps maintain directional control of the vehicle by selective brake application. In this mode, TCS is off and Launch Control is available. Adjust your driving style to account for the available engine power. See Launch Control later in this section. This light is on when the vehicle is in the Competitive Driving Mode. When the ACTIVE HANDLING button is pressed again, the Active Handling and TCS systems are on. The TRACTION SYSTEM AND ACTIVE HANDLING-ON message displays briefly in the DIC and a chime is heard. Performance Traction Management (ZR1) Performance Traction Management integrates the Traction Control, Active Handling and Selective Ride Control systems to provide improved and consistent performance when cornering. The amount of available engine power is based on the mode selected, track conditions, driver skill, and the radius of each corner. This light is on when the vehicle is in the Performance Traction Management Mode. This optional handling mode can be selected by pressing the ACTIVE HANDLING button on the console quickly two times. COMPETITIVE DRIVING MODE displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-51 for more information. 5-10
