Warning Lights And Messages; Red Warning Lights - Chrysler 300 2017 Owner's Manual

What to do when an electrical load reduction
action message is present ("Battery Saver
On" or "Battery Saver Mode")
During a trip:
• Reduce power to unnecessary loads if pos-
sible:
– Turn off redundant lights (interior or exte-
rior)
– Check what may be plugged in to power
outlets +12V, 115V AC, USB ports
– Check HVAC settings (blower, tempera-
ture)
– Check the audio settings (volume)
After a trip:
• Check if any aftermarket equipment was in-
stalled (additional lights, upfitter electrical ac-
cessories, audio systems, alarms) and review
specifications if any (load and Ignition Off
Draw currents).
• Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance,
driving time and parking time).
• The vehicle should have service performed if
the message is still present during consecu-
tive trips and the evaluation of the vehicle and
driving pattern did not help to identify the
cause.
WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights switch on in the
instrument panel together with a dedicated mes-
sage and/or acoustic signal when applicable.
These indications are indicative and precaution-
ary and as such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the information
contained in the Owner's Manual, which you are
advised to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this chapter in the
event of a failure indication. All active telltales
will display first if applicable. The system check
menu may appear different based upon equip-
ment options and current vehicle status. Some
telltales are optional and may not appear.

Red Warning Lights

— Air Bag Warning Light
This light indicates a fault with the air bag, and
will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light will
illuminate with a single chime when a fault with
the air bag has been detected, it will stay on until
the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on
during startup, stays on, or turns on while driv-
ing, have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
— Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, in-
cluding brake fluid level and parking brake ap-
plication. If the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the anti-lock brake system.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been cor-
rected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying
the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve brak-
ing capacity in the event of a failure to a portion
of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of
the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake
Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake
fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped
below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is cor-
rected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
