Launch control?

[FLETCshooter]

So I'm new to the GT350 (just got it) and I think one of the toggle switches (third from the left in the below photo) is a launch control switch. Not sure because every video I find about it has you going through the car's menu to activate it. Does anyone know what the LC stands for?

Is it not in the owners manual?

Yes, its Launch Control

Yes, its Launch Control

Nope. I have gone through it and the basic mustang manual. Also nothing on YouTube about it. I wonder how it operates. It will be awhile before I try it out.

I believe he is right. There is only a mention in the owner's manual and supplement. I have only used it once, and if I recall, once you activate it the display will walk you through setting it up.

From the ‘16 Supplement:

Launch control (LC)
Minimizes wheel slip during standing start.
Feature is enabled or disabled using the 5-way switches or through the LC button on the center stack.
RPM setting allows user to set the Launch RPM value within the allowable range.

1) While in LC, Do you actually dump the clutch once you're ready to go?
2) Does launch control due to clutch action (dump) cause wear on the clutch?
3) Without LC, if you rev to 4K should you dump the clutch to go or handle it like you normally would when casually driving?
4) See question 2 in relation to question 3.

1) yes
2) depends on how many times you do it
3) riding the clutch will gain you the best results

Google “How to use Ford Launch Control”.

Pick whichever video makes the most sense for you. Practice and master that technique.
