TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak® sta\
bility control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving c\
onditions. Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off button on the center console to turn off traction control.
Press and hold the button to turn off both Traction Control and StabiliTrak.
Press the button again to turn on Traction Control and StabiliTrak.
DRIVER MODE CONTROL
Up to four selectable driver modes are available that adjust various vehicle con-trol systems based on driving preferences, weather or road conditions. T\
he modes are displayed on the instrument cluster: Tour (default mode), Sport (will\
remain active at next ignition cycle if selected), Snow/Ice, and Track (V8 models only)\
.
1. Press the MODE button on the center console to view the current mode.
2. Press the MODE button again to scroll through the four modes.
COMPETITIVE MODE AND LAUNCH CONTROL (V8 MODELS ONLYF)
Note: Competitive Mode and Launch Control are recommended only for use during closed course track events.
Competitive Mode
Competitive Mode is an optional handling mode that allows increased perf\
ormance while
accelerating and cornering.
To turn on Competitive Mode, press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off button twice quickly while in the Sport or Track Mode. Competitive Mode will di\
splay on the instrument cluster.
Press the button again to return to normal traction control/StabiliTrak operation\
.
Launch Control
Launch Control is a form of traction control that optimizes wheelspin wh\
ile launching the vehicle. It is activated when the vehicle is at a standstill on level gr\
ound, with the front wheels straight, while in Competitive Mode.
Press the accelerator pedal to the floor with the clutch engaged (man\
ual transmis-sion in 1st gear) or the brake pedal firmly applied (automatic trans\
mission); release the clutch or brake while keeping the accelerator pedal pressed to the fl\
oor for
controlled wheelspin and acceleration.
Note: The brake cooling deflectors should be installed on SS models before closed course track events. The brake cooling deflectors should be removed once the track event is\
completed.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE
Paddle Shifting
While in Drive (D), use either paddle on the back of the steering wheel to temporarily take control of gear selec-tion. Automatic shifting returns after 7 seconds of cruising at a steady speed without any manual shifts, or when the vehicle stops.
Pull the right paddle to upshift and the left paddle to downshift. The current gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster or HUDF.
Move the shift lever to the left from Drive (D) into the gate marked +\
/– and use the paddles to manually upshift or downshift the transmission. If the curren\
t vehicle speed is too fast or too slow for the requested gear, the shift will not\
occur.
Performance Shifting
While driving in Sport Mode or Track Mode (V8 models), the transmissio\
n may hold the current gear during high cornering loads. When braking, the transmission\
will downshift to keep up engine speed for exiting the corner. When driving at a steady\
speed, the transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
Powertrain Braking
With the shift lever in Drive (D) when driving on steep grades where f\
requent braking is required, the transmission may downshift to help hold vehicle speed and \
reduce brake wear. Continuing to apply the brake pedal will cause the transmission to\
downshift until 3rd gear is reached. When the road levels out and the accelerator pedal \
is applied, the transmission will upshift to the appropriate gear.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (V8 MODELS ONLYF)
1-to-4 Shift
The 1st to 4th shift feature helps achieve the best possible fuel econom\
y. The 1-to-4 shift message will display on the instrument cluster when, from a stop, \
acceleration and vehicle qualifications are met. When the shift message is displayed, t\
he transmission can be shifted only from 1st to 4th gear. Forcing the shift lever into a\
ny other gear may
damage the transmission.
Active Rev Match
Active Rev Match aids in smoother shifting by matching engine speed to t\
he next selected gear.
Pull either REV MATCH paddle on the back of the steering wheel to activa\
te or
deactivate the system. When active, the current gear is displayed in amb\
er on the instrument cluster.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
TIRES
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fi\
ll the tires to the proper tire pressures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label located below\
the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Information Ce\
nter (DIC).
TIRE SEALANT AND COMPRESSOR KITF
The tire sealant and compressor kit can be used to temporarily seal smal\
l punctures in the tread area of a tire. The kit is located under the trunk floor. Re\
fer to the kit instruc-tions for complete operating information.
RUN-FLAT TIRESF
The run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. The tire desig\
n enables safe driving function during and after loss of pressure for 50 miles at a moderate sp\
eed. A tire pres-sure of 0 will display on the DIC. Driving only a short distance with a \
loss of pressure increases the chance that the tire can be repaired. Contact Roadside Ass\
istance for the nearest run-flat tire servicing facility.
SUMMER PERFORMANCE TIRESF
Your vehicle may be equipped with high-performance summer tires that are\
optimized for maximum dry and wet road performance. It is recommended to install w\
inter tires that will provide additional traction in cold temperatures. See your Che\
vrolet dealer for information about winter tires.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner’s Manual.
F Optional equipment
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERTF
While driving, the system displays a warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or rapidly appro\
aching that area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicl\
e has been detect-ed on the same side.
REAR PARKING ASSISTF
During low-speed maneuvers when in Reverse, the system provides “dist\
ance to closest object” information on the instrument cluster and sounds a beep. Five\
beeps sound when an object is very close.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERTF
During low-speed maneuvers when in Reverse, the system warns of traffi\
c coming in either direction by displaying a red alert on the camera display and sou\
nding several beeps.
To turn the alerts on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detec\
tion Systems and select the desired feature.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
