Warning (Continued)
cause the wheels to become
loose or come off, resulting
in a crash. See Capacities
and Specifications0482 for
wheel nut torque
specifications.
Caution
If the vehicle is used for
track events and
competitive driving, the
engine may use more oil
than it would with normal
use. Low oil levels can
damage the engine. Check
the oil level often and
maintain the proper level.
See Engine Oil 0383.
Competitive Driving Mode can
be selected. See Driver Mode
Control 0293.
Seat Belts
Lap-Shoulder Belt
If equipped, the driver seat
belt has an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). This feature
is useful in performance
driving scenarios where the
driver wants to be held in the
seat more tightly to take
advantage of the aggressive
bolstering of the seat.
1. Move the seat 8-10 cm (3-4 in) rearward from the
normal driving position.
2. Pull the driver shoulder belt out as far as it will go,
until it stops, to set the
lock. While holding the
shoulder belt in this
position, buckle the belt.
When the shoulder belt is
released, the retractor will
make a ratchet sound
when it retracts. When the
retractor lock is set, the
belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the
retractor. 3. Adjust the belt, and then
move the seat forward
8-10 cm (3-4 in) to the
desired driving position.
This will secure the belt.
The belt fit should be tight,
but not uncomfortable.
To unlatch the belt, press
the button on the buckle.
The belt should return to
its stowed position.
Axle Fluid
Axles must have 2 400 km
(1,500 mi) before being used in
track driving.
The front, if equipped with
AWD, and rear axle fluid
temperatures may be higher
than when driving in severe
conditions. Drain and refill with
new fluid after the first racing
or competitive driving event,
and then after every 24 hours
of racing or competitive
driving. See your dealer for
the correct fluid.

Tire Inflation Pressure High
Speed
See Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation0429.
Tire Inflation Pressure for
Track Driving
For driving on a race course,
if the vehicle is equipped with
275/35ZR19 (100Y) and
305/30ZR19 (102Y) tires, set
the cold (stationary) tire
pressures to 28 psi. During
track sessions, set the tire
pressures at 35 to 38 psi for
hot tires. If pressures exceed
38 psi, adjust the pressures
down to 35 to 38 psi. Return
the tires to the recommended
cold tire inflation pressure
when track driving has ended.
Driving and Operating
{Warning
Operating the vehicle at high
speeds can be dangerous.
Improper tire inflation
pressure can put additional (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
strain on the tires and can
cause a sudden failure. Make
sure the tires are in
excellent condition, and use
the correct cold tire inflation
pressure for the vehicle load
and track/course.
{Warning
Tracks/courses put high
loads on tires operating at
high speed, which can lead
to tire failure if not inflated
properly. Always limit vehicle
cargo to the driver plus one
passenger with no additional
cargo.
{Warning
Track/course loads wear
tires both on the tread and
internal to the tire. When
driven in track/course(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
conditions, even if tread is
not worn down to the
treadwear indicator, tires
must be replaced after the
equivalent of two tanks of
fuel or approximately 160 km
(100 mi).
Custom Launch Control (If
Equipped)
Custom Launch Control allows
the following parameters for
Launch Control to be modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
.Surface Type
To adjust the Launch RPM, all
of these conditions must
be met:
.The vehicle must be in Track
