R-Mode Start
First, the driver must place the shift lever to either the “A” or “M” position. Next, select the R Mode with the transmission setup switch, then select R Mode with the VDC setup switch, depress the brake pedal firmly with
your left foot and continuing depressing the brake, then press the accelerator pedal quickly with your right foot until the engine’s rpms climb to 4,000 and hold it steady.
The challenge comes in that the driver must find and maintain the 4,000 rpm figure within three seconds of depressing the accelerator, and then release the brake pedal – it is as this point that the car will launch with the assistance of R Mode Start and potentially rocket the occupants to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds. Following this procedure, which is outlined in the manual, will not void the warranty.
