9-32 Driving and Operating engine and brake systems are advised to turn the normal TCS and StabiliTrak systems on. { Warning The Competitive Driving Mode system is designed for a closed course race track and not intended for use on public roads. The system is not intended to compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the race track. Cruise Control With cruise control, the vehicle can maintain a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph). If the brakes are applied, the cruise control is disengaged. If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak® system and begins to limit wheel spin while using cruise control, the cruise control automatically disengages. See Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control on page 9-30. If a collision alert occurs when cruise control is activated, cruise control is disengaged. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System on page 9-40. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, the cruise control can be turned back on. Competitive Driving Mode Competitive Driving Mode controls engine power while the StabiliTrak system helps maintain directional control of the vehicle by selective brake application. In this mode, TCS is optimized. Adjust your driving style to account for the available engine power. The g light is on when the vehicle is in the Competitive Driving Mode. This optional handling mode can be selected by pressing the g button quickly two times. The appropriate message displays in the DIC. See Ride Control System Messages on page 5-31 for more information. When the g button is pressed again, the TCS and StabiliTrak systems are on. The appropriate message displays briefly in the DIC. Limited-Slip Rear Axle Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle can give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When traction is low, this feature allows the drive wheel with the most traction to move the vehicle. The limited-slip rear axle also gives the driver enhanced control when cornering hard or completing a maneuver, such as a lane change.
