Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Use only a closed course with a clear straight path, bring the vehicle to a complete stop and confirm battery charge is above 20 percent.
- 02
Press the StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control button twice and use the steering-wheel controls to confirm the infotainment prompt.
- 03
Wait while the vehicle lowers and the Torque Gauge Capability bars fill completely.
- 04
Press the brake with the left foot as prompted, then press the accelerator fully with the right foot and continue holding both pedals.
- 05
When the display instructs you and the course is clear, release the brake to launch; release the accelerator and apply the brake to slow.
- 06
Exit Watts to Freedom by selecting another drive mode, pressing the stability-control button or turning the vehicle off.
Important limits
- Closed-course use only. The acceleration is extreme and must never endanger or inconvenience other road users.
- State of charge must be above 20 percent, and environmental or vehicle conditions can make the mode unavailable.
- Significant steering input or a stability-control event cancels maximum torque.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the feature will not arm, charge the battery above 20 percent and retry only after the vehicle is fully stopped.
- ✓If the readiness bars do not fill, wait for the vehicle to finish conditioning rather than beginning the launch sequence early.
- ✓If maximum torque cancels, stop safely and repeat the prompted sequence only after resolving the steering or traction event.
