    How to Enable Bump Box

    Transmission braking bump box is enable as a result of enabling the Transbrake feature, so you do not need to enable this feature separately.

    Steps to Use Transmission Braking

    Automatic Transmission Vehicles

  • Enable the transmission braking feature on the AP, either standard or 2-step.
  • Depress the brake pedal to 100%.
  • While holding the brake pedal down, fully depress the gas pedal to 100%.
  • The engine will rev to your specified RPM (if the 2-step limiter is enabled) and begin to build boost.
    • Release the brake pedal completely and keep the gas pedal at 100%. This will release the transbrake and launch the vehicle!

    Steps to Use Bump Box

    Automatic Transmission Vehicles

  • Enable the bump box feature on the APv3.
    1. For street tires we recommend using values between 12-15.
    2. For drag tires we recommend using values between 15-20.
  • Depress the brake pedal to 100%.
  • While holding the brake pedal down, fully dpress the gas pedal to 100%.
  • The Engine will rev to your specified RPM (if the 2-step limiter is enabled) and begin to build boost.
  • Press the "Set +" cruise control button to bump the car forward. You can do this repeatedly if you wish.
    • Release the brake pedal completely and keep the gas pedal at 100%. This will release the transbrake and launch the vehicle!
