BRAKES
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake system designed for high speed
and superior fade resistance. You may notice occasional brake squeal and
elevated levels of brake dust. This is normal and does not affect brake
system performance.
Use Motorcraft® Wheel and Tire Cleaner to maintain your wheels. Refer
to yourOwner’s Manualfor information on other cleaning products and
vehicle care.
LAUNCH CONTROL
Note:This feature is intended for off road use only where consistent
acceleration is desired. It is not intended for cold, wet or slippery
conditions.
Launch control can be turned on and off with the LC button, or in the
Track Apps menu using the 5-way buttons. RPM setpoint can only be
changed in the Track Apps menu using the 5-way button. Detailed
description of operation modes and recommended usage is outlined in
the AdvanceTrac section.
Launch control is engineered to be used with the original equipment
provided on your GT500. Any modifications to the vehicle may adversely
affect the function or performance.
The launch control feature is integrated with AdvanceTrac® and the
engine controls system to maximize traction from a standing start
acceleration in a straight line. It provides a unique drag start traction
calibration specifically designed for high grip surfaces. This feature lets
you set and hold the desired launch RPM depending on tire temperature,
surface condition or weather. To function properly, AdvanceTrac® must
be ON or in the SPORT mode. If launch control is ON and traction
control is OFF, then the system provides an engine rev control
(two-step) only and no traction management.
Refer to the AdvanceTrac® section to identify the traction modes and
recommended usage.
