warning DODGE CHARGER 2019 Owners Manual

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 system 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” menu.
• Selecting “Performance Control” from within the Perfor-
mance Pages menu.
You will be able to enable, disable, and customize the
functionality of the Launch Control and Performance Con-
trol Set-Up features within Performance Control.
Descriptions of these features are provided below. To
access information about the functionality of these features
through the Uconnect system, press the “Info” button on
the touchscreen. NOTE:
Scat and Widebody Dodge vehicles equipped with
a 6.4L engine will use SRT Drive Modes rather than the
Dodge Performance Control Pages. Please refer to the
Owner ’s Manual Supplement for further information on
the SRT Drive Modes.
Launch Mode
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
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.
