.Vehicle is in R (Reverse)
.Paddles are released separately
If the vehicle was in Temporary Manual
Paddle Shift mode before entering Double
Paddle Declutch, the vehicle will return to
D (Drive) with automatic shifting upon
exiting Double Paddle Declutch.
Rapid Exit : This is intended for use at a
closed course race track and not on public
roads. Engine power is reapplied to the
wheels quickly to support spirited driving.
The rate of launch is dependent on how
much the accelerator pedal is pressed when
the paddles are released. The further the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the greater the
rate of launch. Tire spin may occur if the
Traction Control System (TCS) is turned off
while performing a Rapid Exit. Rapid Exit
launch occurs when all of the following
conditions are met:
.Vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph)
.Vehicle is in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode)
.Both paddles are released at the
same time With the accelerator fully pressed and the
engine at the rev limiter, peak performance
only occurs if the paddles are released
within a short period of time after reaching
the rev limit (i.e., a few seconds).
Manual Launch (Z06 model only) :
While
the vehicle is in Double Paddle Declutch,
Manual Launch can be activated to gain
more precise control over the engine speed
to prepare for a Standard or Rapid Exit. To
activate this feature, first enter Double
Paddle Declutch, then release and repull
either the + paddle or −paddle while
keeping the opposite paddle held. The
Performance Transmission Active Light will
illuminate in the gauge cluster to indicate
that Manual Launch has been activated. See
Performance Transmission Active 089.
When Manual Launch is active, the engine
will respond differently when the accelerator
pedal is pressed compared to normal Double
Paddle Declutch. The accelerator pedal must
be pressed further to increase the engine
rpm and a lower engine rpm limit will be
applied. This feature also provides faster
engine response during a Rapid Exit if any
of the Performance Traction Management
(PTM) modes or Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Off has been selected. To exit Manual Launch, release both the + paddle and
−
paddle. The vehicle will also exit Double
Paddle Declutch and the engine will
reconnect to the wheels. A Standard Exit or
Rapid Exit will be performed based on the
same conditions listed previously.
{Warning
When exiting Double Paddle Declutch, the
vehicle may move rapidly. You could lose
control and cause a crash with nearby
people or objects. Be ready to release the
accelerator pedal or apply the brakes
immediately if the vehicle moves too
quickly. Do not use the Double Paddle
Declutch when people or objects are near.
Brakes
Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with electric brake boost
have hydraulic brake circuits that are
electronically controlled when the brake
pedal is applied during normal operation.
The system performs routine tests and turns
off within a few minutes after the vehicle is
turned off. Noise may be heard during this
time. If the brake pedal is pressed during

Mode Description
uWeather :Used for slippery surfaces to
help control wheel speed. This can
compromise the acceleration on dry asphalt.
This feature is not intended for use when
the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice, snow,
or gravel. If the vehicle becomes stuck, see If
the Vehicle Is Stuck 0185. See “Driver Mode
Attributes,” later in this section.
sTour :Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth, soft ride. This
setting provides a balanced setting between
comfort and handling. This is the standard
mode. See “Driver Mode Attributes,” later in
this section.
rSport : Use when road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response. When this mode is
selected, the vehicle will immediately
downshift. The steering will change to
provide more precise control. If the vehicle
has Magnetic Ride Control, the suspension
will change to provide better cornering
performance. Competitive Mode can be accessed through
this mode. See
Competitive Driving Mode
0 215.
tTrack : Use for closed race tracks. Use
when maximum vehicle handling is desired.
When in Track Mode, the dual clutch
transmission and steering will adjust to
track settings. In this mode the vehicle also
monitors driving behaviors and
automatically enables Performance Shift
features when spirited driving is detected.
These features maintain lower transmission
gears to increase available engine braking
and improve acceleration response. The
vehicle will exit this feature and return to
normal operation after a short time when
spirited driving is no longer detected.
If equipped, this mode also modifies real
time damping, exhaust valve tuning, engine
sound, brake pedal feel, Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) performance and Traction
Control System (TCS) performance.
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
can be accessed through this mode. See
“Performance Traction Management,” later
in this section.
qMy Mode : Use to personalize everyday
driving. This mode allows the driver to
configure the driver systems to their driving
preferences. This mode modifies the
suspension, steering, brake feel, and engine
sound. My Mode will remain active across
ignition cycles.
Through the center display, the following
vehicle subsystems may be available for
customization in this mode:
Engine Sound: Stealth, Tour, Sport, Track
Steering: Tour, Sport, Track
Suspension: Tour, Sport, Track

212 Driving and Operating
Cluster Display
For more information on the display themes
of the Drive modes on the instrument
cluster, seeInstrument Cluster 079 >
Options > Display themes.
Throttle Progression
Adjusts throttle sensitivity by selecting how
quickly or slowly the throttle reacts to
input.
Throttle Progression is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.
Transmission Shift Operation
Basic:
.Transmission upshifts and downshifts are
selected based on vehicle speed and
accelerator position to optimize comfort
and fuel economy during mild driving
conditions.
Driver Influenced Gear Selection:
.Aggressive driving will influence both the
upshift and downshift points in all modes.
When engaged, the Performance
Transmission Active light displays. See
Performance Transmission Active 089. When Performance Transmission is
activated from a standstill, by selecting
PTM Race 1 or Race 2, the transmission
shift map is in the most aggressive state
where upshifts are only achieved at high
revolutions per minute (rpm), downshifts
happen early, and the lowest gear is
selected for cornering. Transmission
behavior will transition to a level
appropriate to the current driving
behavior after a short period of time.
If PTM Race 1 or Race 2 are not selected,
the Performance Transmission Active
behavior still activates automatically after
a sustained period of performance driving
is detected. See
“Performance Traction
Management (PTM)” later on in this
section.
.Criteria which have influence are: driving
mode, accelerator, brakes, lateral, and
longitudinal loading.
.Changes in gear selection behavior due to
aggressive driving can include:
‐ Downshifting early with higher rpm’s
during aggressive braking (i.e. entering
a corner)
‐ Altering upshifts while experiencing
lateral acceleration ‐
Not upshifting when the accelerator is
released to avoid unnecessary shifts if
the accelerator is re-applied
‐ Recognizing sporty driving and
anticipate upcoming corners with the
appropriate gear selection entering and
exiting
.Driver Modes
‐Driver influenced changes are effective
in all driving modes, however the
aggressiveness of the transmission
response will increase between Tour,
Sport, and Track Modes respectively.
Active Fuel Management (Engine Cylinder
Shuts Off)
.Normal with Dual Clutch Transmission:
The engine uses 8-cylinder mode when
accelerating, but changes to 4-cylinder
mode when coasting.
Active Fuel Management is a preset of
Powertrain and cannot be modified or
changed independently.

Driving and Operating 217
Launch Control (Sport and Track
Mode Only)
A Launch Control feature is available, within
Competitive Driving Mode or PTM, on all
vehicles to allow the driver to achieve high
levels of vehicle acceleration in a straight
line. Launch Control is a form of TCS that
manages tire spin, and transmissions clutch,
while launching the vehicle. This feature is
intended for use during closed course race
events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are desirable.
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period should be
completed before using the launch
control feature, otherwise performance
will be limited and damage may occur to
the powertrain/engine. SeeNew Vehicle
Break-In 0189.
Launch Control is only available when the
following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode or any of the
PTM Modes are selected (if equipped). See
Driver Mode Control 0208.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The vehicle must be in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode).
.The parking brake must not be engaged.
Launching the Vehicle
.Ensure the vehicle is in Competitive
Driving Mode or any of the PTM modes.
.The brake pedal must be firmly pressed
to the floor, equivalent to a panic brake
event.
.While maintaining the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to
wide open throttle. If the vehicle rolls due
to wide open throttle or engine speed
does not exceed 3,000 Revolutions Per
Minute (RPM), release the throttle, press
the brake pedal more firmly, and reapply
the accelerator to wide open throttle.
The Launch Control feature initially limits
engine speed as the driver rapidly applies
the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle.
Allow the engine RPMs to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the brake pedal,
while maintaining the fully pressed
accelerator pedal, will manage tire slip and
transmissions clutch. After the vehicle is
launched, the system continues in
Competitive Driving Mode or PTM.
Custom Launch Control
If equipped, Custom Launch Control allows
the following parameters for Launch Control
to be modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
Adjusting the Launch RPM will also change
the behavior of the transmission during the
start of the launch. The higher the Launch
RPM, the faster the clutch will be applied
resulting in greater acceleration. This
parameter can be used to match the launch
behavior to the available tire traction. If the
driving wheels spin excessively during the
launch, reduce the Launch RPM.
To adjust the Launch RPM, all of these
conditions must be met:
.Competitive Driving Mode or any of the
PTM Modes are selected (if equipped). See
Driver Mode Control 0208.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The vehicle must be in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode).
.The parking brake must not be engaged.

Driving and Operating 219
Limited-Slip Differential (Stingray
With Z51 Performance Package
and Z06 model)
The Electrical Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD)
is a hydraulically actuated clutch system
inside the transaxle. It can infinitely vary
the clutch engagement between 0 and
2250 N*m (1659 lb-ft) of breakaway torque
between the rear wheels. When necessary it
responds from open to full engagement in
fractions of a second. Smaller clutch
adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
.Uses the vehicle sensors and driver inputs
to determine the optimum amount of
clutch engagement for the conditions.
.Improves traction while cornering by
changing the engagement to achieve a
balance between directional control and
acceleration.
.Provides optimal engagement for
high-speed control and stability without
affecting precise steering and turn-in.
.Improves vehicle stability during spirited
driving and evasive maneuvers. It is fully
integrated with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
systems (if equipped).There are unique calibrations based on the
Traction Control System (TCS) setting. eLSD
modes change automatically when the
traction control button is pressed. No unique
input from the driver is required.
.Mode 1 is the standard mode when the
vehicle is started. It provides a touring
calibration with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in PTM
Wet mode.
.Mode 2 is engaged when both TCS and
StabiliTrak are turned off. This calibration
provides more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners.
.Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is engaged
in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and Race modes. This
is a nimble calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2, however, it
is integrated to work with PTM.
.Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is selected
off, but StabiliTrak remains on. Vehicle
stability is still the priority, while allowing
for optimized traction out of corners.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be
maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady
speed. Do not use cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
If the Traction Control System (TCS) begins
to limit wheel spin while you are using
cruise control, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0206.
When road conditions allow for using safely
again, cruise control can be turned back on.

at the proper intervals. See Maintenance
Schedule 0306. Be sure to use the correct
fluid. See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0310.
Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid Life
System
When to Change the Dual Clutch
Transmission Fluid
This vehicle has a computer that indicates
when to change the transmission fluid. This
is based on a combination of factors which
include temperature and miles driven. Based
on driving conditions, the mileage at which
a fluid change is indicated can vary
considerably. For the fluid life system to
work properly, the system must be reset
every time the fluid is changed. When the
system has calculated that fluid life has
been diminished, it indicates that a fluid
change is necessary. A CHANGE
TRANSMISSION FLUID SOON message comes
on. Change the fluid as soon as possible
within the next 1 000 km (600 mi). Failure
to change transmission fluid at required
intervals could lead to suboptimal
transmission performance. Your dealer has

Tires
Every new GM vehicle has high-quality
tires made by a leading tire
manufacturer. See the warranty manual
for information regarding the tire
warranty and where to get service. For
additional information refer to the tire
manufacturer.
{Warning
.Poorly maintained and improperly
used tires are dangerous.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Overloading the tires can cause
overheating as a result of too
much flexing. There could be a
blowout and a serious crash. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0186.
.Underinflated tires pose the same
danger as overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could cause serious
injury. Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be
checked when the tires are cold.
.Overinflated tires are more likely
