Abstract
A vehicle system for a vehicle that implements a line lock mode to vehicle wheels for creating a line lock includes a motor, an instrument panel and a controller. The motor provides drive torque to at least one wheel of the vehicle wheels for propelling the vehicle. The vehicle wheels include a left and right rear wheels and left and right front wheels. The instrument panel cluster is configured to display a user interface menu that includes a user selectable line lock mode. The controller initiates a line lock mode based on user selection of the line lock mode. The controller determines whether vehicle conditions are satisfied. The controller applies brakes to the left and right front wheels. The controller disables torque delivery to the left and right front wheels and sends drive torque to the left and right rear wheels.
