Competitive Driving Mode
To select this optional handling
mode, press the TCS/StabiliTrak
button quickly two times and
STABILITRAK COMPETITIVE
MODE displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). While in
the StabiliTrak Competitive Mode,
the TCS/StabiliTrak warning light
comes on, TCS does not limit wheel
spin, and more effort is required to
turn the steering wheel. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
Press the TCS/StabiliTrak button
again, or turn the ignition to
ACC/ACCESSORY and restart the
vehicle, to turn TCS back on and
turn the TCS/StabiliTrak warning
light off.
Notice: When traction control is
turned off, or Competitive Driving
Mode is active, it is possible to
lose traction. If you attempt to
shift with the drive wheels
spinning with a loss of traction, it
is possible to cause damage to
the transmission. Do not attempt
to shift when the drive wheels do
not have traction. Damage caused
by misuse of the vehicle is not
covered. See the warranty book
for additional information.
Magnetic Ride Control
With this feature on the CTS-V, the
Magnetic Ride Control system
adjusts the ride of the vehicle to
Touring or Sport modes. Magnetic
Ride Control monitors the
suspension system to determine the
proper system response.
TOUR: Use for normal city and
highway driving. This setting
provides a smooth, soft ride.
SPORT: Use where road conditions
or personal preference demand
more control. This setting provides
more feel, or response to road
conditions.
The setting can be changed at any
time. Based on road conditions,
steering wheel angle and the
vehicle speed, the system
automatically adjusts to provide the
best handling while providing a
smooth ride. The Touring and Sport
modes will feel similar on a smooth
road. Select a new setting whenever
driving conditions change.
