Suspension: Tour, Sport, Track
Engine/Shift: Weather, Tour, Sport, Track
Brake Feel: Tour, Sport, Track
PTM: Off, Wet, Dry, Sport, Race 1, Race 2
For a more detailed description on how each
driver system is changed, see “Drive Mode
Customization,” later in this section. For
more information on PTM, see “Performance
Traction Management,” later in this section.
Additionally, the cluster theme can be set
up using the display menu in the cluster.

Hybrid Battery Charging (Charge+)
The Charge+ feature is used to quickly
charge the high voltage battery to near
maximum State of Charge (SOC). This
feature is useful to prepare for maximum
effort at a racetrack or Stealth mode use. By
activating the Charge+ feature, it rapidly
increases the hybrid battery SOC status into the blue 100% full zone. See
Power Indicator
Gauge 087. When the Charge+ feature is
enabled, the battery SOC may still deplete
during aggressive driving.
The Charge+ feature can be used in
conjunction with any drive mode except
Stealth or Shuttle mode.
On a racetrack, using the Charge+ feature
optimizes the high voltage battery discharge
rate for sustaining continuous lapping or to
set your fastest lap. When the Charge+
feature is enabled, a strategic discharge rate
is activated, which is the best for continuous
lapping on the racetrack. When the Charge+
feature is off, a maximum discharge rate
occurs, which is best for setting the fastest
lap time. For additional details on vehicle
track preparation, see Chevrolet.com >
Corvette Experience > Guides > Track Prep
Guide.
Do not leave the Charge+ feature on longer
than needed since extra fuel may be
consumed due to aggressive charging.
Charge+ draws on engine power to help
recharge the battery quickly, rather than
charging efficiently through brake or coast
regen. When the high voltage battery is full,
no additional regen energy of any type can
be captured. When the Charge+ feature is turned off, the
high voltage propulsion system efficiently
uses battery energy to improve fuel
economy or performance. This allows room
in the high voltage battery for the next
regen charging opportunity. The high
voltage battery automatically seeks its
nominal SOC in the white zone of the
Hybrid Battery Gauge, between 50-80%. The
SOC status is displayed in the HYBRID
BATTERY info tile, and is shown in the blue
Hybrid Battery state. See
“Info Tiles”in
Instrument Cluster 081.
The Charge+ feature is only effective when
the car is being driven. Optimal high voltage
battery charging occurs when the vehicle
speed exceeds 56 km/h (35 mph).

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. See New Vehicle
Break-In 0177. 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
0196.
.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.
.If the engine is cold, the vehicle may
be limited to 3000 rpm until
conditions are suitable for
acceleration.

310 Vehicle Care
cleaning, it is expected that brake dust and
road grime will darken the high performance
thermal coating over time.
{Warning
Altering, removing, or painting over the
white thermal coating on carbon fiber
wheels can cause the wheels to overheat
and become damaged. Damaged wheels
could cause a crash. To prevent property
damage, personal injury, and/or death,
do not change the coating on the carbon
fiber wheels.
Caution
Carbon fiber wheels may be damaged if
the vehicle is not washed after driving on
roads that have been sprayed with
magnesium chloride or calcium chloride.
These are used on roads for conditions
such as dust and ice. Always wash the
carbon fiber with soap and water after
exposure.
Brake System
Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for
proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear
and rotors for surface condition. Inspect
drum brake linings/shoes for wear or cracks.
Inspect other brake parts, including drums,
wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake,
master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir,
vacuum pipes, electric vacuum pump
including bracket and vent hose, if equipped.
If equipped with Z51, inspect brake cooling
components. SeeTrack Events and
Competitive Driving 0160.
Steering, Suspension, and Chassis
Components
Visually inspect steering, suspension, and
chassis components for damaged, loose,
or missing parts or signs of wear at least
once a year.
Inspect power steering for proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Visually check constant velocity joint boots
and axle seals for leaks.
Body Component Lubrication
Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood hinges,
and liftgate hinges, unless the components
are plastic. Applying silicone grease on
weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make
them last longer, seal better, and not stick
or squeak.
Underbody Maintenance
At least twice a year, spring and fall, use
plain water to flush any corrosive materials
from the underbody. Take care to
thoroughly clean any areas where mud and
other debris can collect.
Do not directly power wash the transfer
case and/or front/rear axle output seals.
High pressure water can overcome the seals
and contaminate the fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of the transfer
case and/or axles and should be replaced.
Body Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet
metal repair or replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to parts repaired or replaced to
restore corrosion protection.
