Ride Control Systems
I've added these notes for myself about the RCS options for the 1LE based on the manual. I found the paragraphical form too hard to remember. Read your manual due to all the warnings. These options are for experienced track racers:
Three Ride Control Settings:
Traction Control System (TCS)
StabilTrak System
Competitive Driving Mode
Launch Control
Here's how to leverage these systems by turning them OFF/ON: Attachment 464436 Last edited by CrystalRedTintcoat; 01-21-2013 at 12:32 AM. Reason: Cleaning up base don MG's feedback. |

I think ur post is very confusing. There is no stabilitrak mode.
1) Normal driving mode ( tc and stabilitrak on) 2) TC off mode ( tc off, stabilitrak fully on), press TC button once 3) Competitive mode on (tc off, stabilitrak in competition mode), press TC button twice. 4) Everything off ( tc off, stabilitrak off), press TC button and hold until two yellow tell tales on speed gauge show off, one tc off and one squrly car tracks for stabilitrak off. Center cluster will state stabilitrak off too. Modes 3 and 4 change steering ratio/effort. I love the mode 3 steering and drive with that most of the time, 4 is even better but I dont use it in the colder temps for the street. Mode 3 also allows launch control. Also, not sure I would call them "ride modes". Ride is used to describe vertical vehicle control and exists on electric dampening systems like MR and the two mode Shelby, Viper etc. We dont have ride modes on the 1LE, maybe driver modes?

CRT, sorry man, didnt mean to say stabilitrak doesnt exist but meant to say its not a mode in it self. Stabilitrak is just gm s name for ESC, electronic stability system. It uses various sensors from car ( steering sensor, yaw sensor, wheel speeds, throttle sensor etc) to determine if you are loosing control or not. If ur car is rotating to fast and the computer reads that ur steering compensation is not enough or fast enough than it puts a counter moment on the car via brake application on certain corners. That is just one of the major features.
Also, look at that manual u posted, it states ride systems because zl1 is under it too, but it calls the competitive mode a driver mode because it doesnt do anything to ride. Nice summary table.

1. So to turn TC and ST back on you have to turn the car off and restart?
2. If both the lights come on in competitive mode and when everything is off, how do you know everything is off and you're not in competitive mode? Is it just by holding the button down for 5 seconds? 3. If you turn the car off and you had TC and ST turned off will it remember that or will it default to turning TC and ST back on?

1. You don't have to turn the car off, another push on the TC will turn everything back on. 2. The double tap of TC will make Competitive Mode display briefly on your DIC...I haven't noticed anything special for turning everything off, but maybe I just haven't done that yet. 3. Default is everything set to ON. |
