Launch Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The launch control system works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac® system and PCM to maximize traction from a standing start acceleration in a straight line. Launch control enables a unique "drag start" traction control calibration designed for high grip surfaces. The system allows the driver to set and hold a desired launch RPM depending on tire temperature, surface condition or weather. Unlike the AdvanceTrac® system, the launch control system does not reset to OFF when the ignition is cycled. For information on setting the launch control system, refer to the Owner's Literature.
