Driving and Operating 9-41 Competitive Driving Mode Competitive Driving Mode and Launch Control are systems designed to allow increased performance while accelerating and/ or cornering. This is accomplished by regulating and optimizing engine and brake performance. These modes are for use at a closed course race track and are not intended for use on public roads. They will not compensate for a driver's inexperience or lack of familiarity with the race track. Drivers who prefer to allow the system to have more control of the engine and brake systems are advised to turn StabiliTrak on. See Competitive Driving on page 9‑7 for more information. Notice: Do not attempt to shift when the drive wheels are spinning and do not have traction. This may cause damage to the transmission. Damage caused by misuse of the vehicle is not covered by the vehicle warranty. See the warranty book for additional information. This light is on when the vehicle is in the Competitive Driving Mode. On vehicles with a V8 engine, this optional handling mode can be selected by pressing the StabiliTrak/ TCS button on the console quickly two times. STABILITRAK COMPETITIVE MODE displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Ride Control System Messages on page 5‑39. When the StabiliTrak button is pressed again, or the vehicle is restarted, the StabiliTrak and TCS systems are on. Competitive Driving Mode In Competitive Driving Mode, the StabiliTrak System helps maintain directional control of the vehicle by selective brake application and control of engine torque. The Traction Control System (TCS) helps control wheel spin and Launch Control is available. Adjust your driving style to account for the available engine power. See "Launch Control" later in this section.
