DODGE DRIVE MODES — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Performance Control feature which allows for coordinating the operation of various vehicle systems depending upon the type of driving behavior desired. The Performance Control feature is controlled through the Uconnect system and may be accessed 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 Performance Pages menu.
You will be able to enable, disable, and customize the functionality of the Launch Control and Performance Control 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:
Dodge vehicles equipped with a 6.4L engine, except for R/T Scat Pack 1320 6.4L non-wide- body vehicles, will use SRT Drive Modes rather than the Dodge Performance Control Pages. Please refer to the following sections for further information on the SRT Drive Modes.
Drive Mode Set-Up
Pressing the Drive Mode Set-Up button on the touchscreen within the Performance Control screen indicates the real-time status of the various systems. Pressing the Sport Mode Set-Up, Drag Mode Set-Up (1320 only), or
Default Mode Set-Up button on the touchscreen allows the driver to configure their individual performance control and to see how those configurations affect the performance of the vehicle.

Default Mode Set-Up
Launch Control
This vehicle is equipped with a Launch Control system that is designed to allow the driver to achieve quick, consistent vehicle acceleration in a straight line. Launch Control is a form of traction control that manages tire slip while launching the vehicle. This feature is intended for use during race events on a closed course where consistent quarter-mile and 0-to-60 times are desired. The system is not intended to compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the race track. Use of this feature in low traction (cold, wet, gravel, etc.) conditions may result in excess wheel slip outside this system’s control resulting in an aborted launch.
NOTE:
- Launch Control should not be used on public roads. Always check track conditions and the surrounding area.
- Launch Control is not available for the first 500 miles (805 km) of the vehicle’s life.
- Launch Control should only be used when the engine and transmission are at operating temperature.
- Launch Control is intended to be used on dry, paved road surfaces only. Use on slippery or loose surfaces may cause damage to vehicle components and is not recommended.
- Launch Control is not available in ESC Full Off mode.

Push the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank to put the vehicle in Sport Mode and to activate these settings.
