Competitive Driving Mode
The STS-V driver can select this optional handling mode
by pressing the Traction Control button, located near the
shift lever, quickly two times. STABILITY COMPETITIVE
MODE is displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) when the system is working. Competitive driving
mode allows the driver to have control of the power
applied to the rear wheels, while the StabiliTrak
®
system
helps steer the vehicle by selective brake application.
In competitive mode, the levels at which StabiliTrak is
engaged have been modified to better suit a performance
driving environment. When the traction control warning
light is on, the Traction Control System will not be
operating. Adjust your driving accordingly.
When the Traction Control button is pressed again,
the Traction Control System will be on. The traction
engaged symbol will be displayed briefly in the DIC.
