Designed for use on a closed circuit track in dry road conditions, Launch mode provides maximum off-the-line acceleration and increased top speed, along with race stats for 0-to-60 mph (0-to-100 km/h) and quarter-mile race times. To activate Launch mode, go to Drive Modes and choose Sport mode. Then choose Launch mode and follow the on-screen instructions. For more information and important warnings, go to the Owner's Guide and search for Launch mode.

You can now customize the color theme of the accent lights. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Displays and Lighting.
