PERFORMANCE PAGES — IF EQUIPPED
Performance Pages is an application that provides a dis-
play for performance indicators, as received from the
instrument cluster, that will help you gain familiarity with
the capabilities of your vehicle in real-time.
To access the Performance Pages, press the “Apps” button
on the touchscreen then press the “Performance Pages”
button on the touchscreen. Press the desired button on the
touchscreen to access that specific Performance Page.
WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the Perfor-
mance Pages is intended for off-highway or off-road
use only and should not be done on any public
roadways. It is recommended that these features be
used in a controlled environment and within the limits
of the law. The capabilities of the vehicle as measured
by the Performance Pages must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which can jeopardize
the user ’s safety or the safety of others. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.The Performance Pages include the following:
•
Home
• Timers
• Gauges 1
• Gauges 2
• G-Force
• Engine
The following describes each feature and its operation:

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 247

When G-Force is selected, the following features will be
available:
•Lateral G-Force Left and Right
The lateral g-force measures the (sideways) left and right
force of the vehicle.
• Longitudinal G-Force Fore and Aft
The longitudinal g-force measures the acceleration and
braking force of the vehicle.
• Peak G-Forces Fore Aft, Left and Right
This shows the maximum g-forces that have been achieved
since the last reset from the instrument cluster display.
Peak values are maintained through ignition cycles by the
instrument cluster display until they are cleared by the
driver.
• Vehicle Speed
Vehicle Speed measures the current speed of the vehicle in
either mph or km/h, starting at 0 with no maximum value.
• Steering Wheel Angle
Steering Wheel Angle utilizes the steering angle sensor to
measure the degree of the steering wheel relative to zero.
The zero degree measurement indicates a steering wheel straight ahead position. When the steering angle value is
negative, this indicates a turn to the left, and when the
steering angle value is positive, a turn to the right.
Engine
When selected, this screen displays the following values:

PERFORMANCE CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle is equipped with a Performance Control
feature which allows for coordinating the operation of
various vehicle systems depending upon the type of driv-
ing behavior desired. The Performance Control feature is
controlled through the Uconnect radio and may be ac-
cessed by performing any of the following:
• Pushing the Super Track Pack button on the instrument
panel switch bank. •
Selecting “Performance Control” from the “Apps”

WARNING!
Launch Mode is intended for off-highway or off-road
use only and should not be used on any public
roadways. It is recommended that this feature be used
in a controlled environment, and within the limits of

reckless or dangerous manner, which can jeopardize
the user ’s safety or the safety of others. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.

This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Mode system that
is designed to allow the driver to achieve maximum
vehicle acceleration in a straight line. Launch Mode is a
form of traction control that manages tire slip while
launching the vehicle. This feature is intended for use
during race events on a closed course where consistent
quarter mile and zero to sixty times are desired. The systemis not intended to compensate for lack of driver experience
or familiarity with the race track. Use of this feature in low
traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.) conditions may results in
excess wheel slip outside this systems control resulting in
an aborted launch.
NOTE:
•
Launch Mode should not be used on public roads.
Always check track conditions and the surrounding
area.
• Launch Mode is not available for the first 500 miles of
the vehicle’s life.
• Launch Mode should only be used when the engine and
transmission are at operating temperature.
• Launch Mode is intended to be used on dry, paved road
surfaces only. Use on slippery or loose surfaces may
cause damage to vehicle components and is not recom-
mended.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Launch Control is only available when the following
procedure is followed:
1. Press the “Apps” button on the touchscreen, select “Performance Control”, and press the “Launch Mode”

2. To adjust the Launch RPM, press and drag the slider bar, or press the arrows on the touchscreen, to adjust the
holding RPM. Press the back arrow button on the
touchscreen when finished. The setting will be saved.
NOTE: The default RPM for launch mode is a preset
factory value. Optimal launch RPM will depend on the
engine and tires on the vehicle, as well as the road and
weather conditions. Not all RPM settings will be usable in
all configurations and scenarios. If requested launch RPM
is not attainable in a given scenario, the engine will provide
the maximum amount of torque possible to get as close as
possible to the requested RPM.
3. Press the “Activate Launch Mode” button on the touch- screen.
4. Ensure the vehicle is not moving and the steering wheel is pointing straight.
5. Hold the brake pedal and verify the vehicle is in a forward transmission gear. 6. While holding the brake, rapidly apply the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. The engine speed will hold
at the RPM that was set in the “Launch RPM Set-up”
screen.
NOTE: Messages will appear in the instrument cluster
display to inform the driver if one or more of the above
conditions have not been met.
7. When conditions four through six have been met, the instrument cluster display will read “Launch Ready
Release Brake.” Release the brake and continue to hold
wide open throttle to launch.
8. Keep the vehicle pointed straight. Launch Control will be active until the vehicle reaches 62 MPH (100 km/h).
Launch Control will abort before launch completion and
display “Launch Aborted” in the instrument cluster dis-
play for any the following conditions:
• The accelerator pedal is released during launch.
• The ESC system detects that the vehicle is no longer
moving in a straight line.
• The “ESC OFF” button is pressed to change the system
to another mode if Launch Control is enabled.
