NOTE:
If the cluster launch EVIC message indicates all
conditions are correct for launch and the throttle is
pressed to the floor quickly (within approximately 1/2
second) the system will hold the engine speed to a preset
speed (below the engine rev limiter speed).

Pressing the launch control button when launch control is
active will deactivate launch control.
NOTE:
• Launch Mode brings the engine to optimum RPM and
waits for the driver to release the brake. Launch Mode
then uses engine throttle only to achieve controlled
wheelslip for maximum acceleration through first gear.
• Launch Mode can be initiated in any of the Select Trac
Modes.
• Launch Mode is not available until the 500 mile
(805 km) break-in has been achieved.

hicle up steep driveways, approach ramps or near
parking blocks may cause damage to the front
fascia and ground effects.
