Manual Park Release - 8 Speed; Transmission - Dodge Charger SRT 2018 Owner's Manual

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum
heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to
high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine
coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you
see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when
the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads 240°F (116°C) or
greater pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C).
If the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and
you hear a chime, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE — 8 SPEED

lease. In addition, you should be seated in the driver's
seat with your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
activating the Manual Park Release. Activating the
Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll

proper connection to a tow vehicle. Activating the
Manual Park Release on an unsecured vehicle could
