PASSIVE ENTRY

KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO — PASSIVE ENTRY

The Keyless Enter-N-Go system is an enhancement to the vehicle's key fob. This feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle's door(s) and trunk without having to press the key fob lock or unlock buttons.

TO UNLOCK FROM THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE

• With a valid Keyless Enter-N-Go key fob located outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or passenger side door handle, grab either front door handle to unlock the door automatically.
  

TO LOCK THE VEHICLE

• Both front door handles have buttons located on the outside of the handle. With one of the vehicle's Keyless Enter-N-Go key fobs located outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door handle, push the door handle button to lock the two doors and trunk.
  
• Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the door handle button. This could unlock the door(s).
  

NOTE:

• If "Unlock All Doors 1st Press" is programmed, all doors will unlock when you grab hold of the driver's door handle. Additionally, all doors and the trunk will unlock with this option programmed when you push the trunk button.
• If a key fob is detected in the vehicle when locking the vehicle using the power door lock switch, the doors and trunk will unlock, and the horn will chirp three times. On the third attempt, your key fob can be locked inside the vehicle.
• After pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go lock button, you must wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock the vehicle using the door handle. This is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the door handle without the vehicle reacting and unlocking.
• If a Keyless Enter-N-Go door handle has not been used for 72 hours, the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature for that handle may time out. Pulling the deactivated front door handle will reactivate the door handle's Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.

TO ENTER THE TRUNK

• With a valid Keyless Enter-N-Go key fob located outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the deck lid, push the button located on the center of the light bar which is located on the deck lid above the license plate.
  

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

The instrument cluster display features an interactive driver display that is located in the instrument cluster. Pushing the controls on the left side of the steering wheel allows the driver to select Vehicle Information and Personal Settings.

• Push the up button to scroll upward through the main menus (Speedometer, mph/km/h, Vehicle Info, Performance Pages – SRT only, Driver Assist — If Equipped, Fuel Economy, Trip A, Trip B, Audio, Messages, Screen Set Up).
• Push the down button to scroll downward through the main menu and submenus (Speedometer, mph/km/h, Vehicle Info, Driver Assist, Fuel Economy, Trip A, Trip B, Audio, Stored Messages, Screen Set Up).
• Push the right button to access the information screens or submenu screens of a main menu item.
• Push the left button to access the information screens or submenu screens of a main menu item.
• Push the OK button to access/select the information screens or submenu screens of a main menu item. Push and hold the OK button for two seconds to reset displayed/selected features that can be reset. Pushing the OK button will also toggle between mph and km/h on the digital speedometer.

Compass Calibration

This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic, and the cluster will display dashes (- -) until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the dashes (- -) displayed in the cluster turn off. The compass will now function normally.

SAFETY FEATURES

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) — IF EQUIPPED
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings and visual warnings within the instrument cluster display to warn the driver when a potential frontal collision is detected. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, to avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors, as well as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with the audible and visual warnings.
NOTE:
The FCW feature can be customized and turned off through the Uconnect system touchscreen.

STARTING AND OPERATING

SRT & SCAT PACK VEHICLES

Chassis

• Wheels — due to the high performance nature of the brake system, the wheels will get coated with brake dust. It is recommended that Mopar® Wheel Cleaner be used on your wheels to avoid any possible damage to the finish. However, do not use wheel cleaner if your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor or Black Satin Chrome wheels, which must only be cleaned with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth.
  NOTE:
  Due to the high performance nature of the brakes on your SRT, vehicle dust and some noise are expected and normal.
• Tire Service Kit — your vehicle comes with a tire inflator kit; there is no spare tire included in your vehicle.
• Trailer Tow — trailer towing with your SRT vehicle is not recommended.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) - your vehicle is equipped with selectable ESC modes. The ESC mode selected will alter the handling characteristics of your vehicle.
• Adjustable Modes — your vehicle is equipped with selectable driving modes: Default (Street), Sport, Track, Custom, ECO, and Valet. Please refer to the Owner's Manual for further information.
• Three-Season Tires — this vehicle may be equipped with three-season tires to enhance performance. FCA US LLC does not recommend use of these tires when temperatures are below 40°F (4°C) or in snow/ice conditions.

Power train & Drive train

• Engine & Transmission (SRT Engine Break-In Recommendations) — The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance and maximum durability for your new SRT Vehicle. Despite modern technology and World Class manufacturing methods, the moving parts of the vehicle must still wear in with each other. This wearing in occurs mainly during the first 500 miles (805 km) and continues through the first oil change interval.
  NOTE:
  Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be higher through the first oil change interval.
• Engine Oil — 0W-40 Full Synthetic Engine Oil recommended.
• Fuel — Premium Fuel with a minimum octane rating of 91 Pump Octane Number is required.

Automatic Transmission:

• Applying the brake and throttle pedals at the same time ("brake torquing") for an extended period of time will illuminate the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) fault light requiring the dealership to clear.
• The vehicle may be equipped with steering wheel mounted "Paddle Shifters" and an M gate console shifter. When in the M gate, the vehicle will not shift at red line and must be manually shifted with either the paddle shifters or the console shifter. In the M gate, the shift light can be programed to assist the driver with optimal shift points.

Launch Control:

• Your car may be equipped with LaunchControl to improve acceleration performance. It is activated by pressing the LAUNCH or Super Track Pack (if equipped) button, located in the instrument panel switch bank, as well as in the radio within "Race Options", and will help control tire spin for maximum acceleration. The launch RPM is also selectable through the race options screens. Launch Control is not available for the first 500 miles of vehicle life.

Manual Transmission:

• Your vehicle is equipped with a 1-4 skip shift feature to maximize fuel economy. Under certain conditions, the vehicle will require you to shift the transmission from first to fourth gear, instead of from first gear to second gear. Skip Shift is only active while in normal or default driving mode. The detailed conditions of this feature are described in the Owner's Manual.
• Do not attempt to shift the transmission if the rear wheels are spinning due to loss of traction. Damage to the transmission may occur.
• When shifting, fully depress the clutch pedal and lift off the accelerator pedal before shifting gears. Damage to the transmission or clutch may occur if you do not fully depress the clutch pedal and lift off the accelerator pedal when shifting.
• Do not rest your hand on the gear shift knob while driving. This may cause premature wear of the transmission synchronizers.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This may cause premature wear of the clutch.

Body & Exterior

• Fascias and Ground Effects - This vehicle has a unique exterior appearance, which includes SRT unique fascias and ground effects. These exterior components define the style and appearance of your new vehicle. They also cause a lower approach angle in the front of the vehicle and reduced ground clearance. Due to lower ground clearance, driving your vehicle up steep driveways, approach ramps, or near parking blocks may cause damage to the front fascia and ground effects.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a SATINFINISH Exterior Body Paint, use products made specifically for satin paint, such as Swissvax Opaque Satin Paint Wax and Dr. Beasley's Satin Paint and Sealant. Refer to the Satin Finish Tips Card.
• Caution should be taken when driving through water or snow more than 4 inches (100 mm) deep to avoid any potential for damage to your vehicle.

Electrical

• Your vehicle may be equipped with a premium "harman/kardon" sound system. Your audio mode can be configured using the radio.
• Your vehicle is equipped with SRT performance pages, Drive Modes, Performance Shift Indication, Launch Control, and Valet Mode, which are displayed in the instrument cluster and the radio.
• Valet Mode is offered on all SRT vehicles. The driver can activate and deactivate Valet Model with a four-digit PIN they create. Custom PINs are created with each use. If you forget your PIN, disconnect the battery for five minutes to reset.
• Your vehicle may be equipped with a Red key fob, in addition to the Black key fob. The Red key is the only key that can unlock the full horsepower and torque potential of the SRT Hellcat engine, while the Black key fob limits the driver to reduced engine output and reduction of transmission shift schedules. In addition, the Red key fob will unlock all the options within Drive Modes. The Black key fob will limit your options within Drive Modes.
• If equipped with an Automatic Transmission, your vehicle offers an ECO mode. ECO mode will change the feel of the throttle response and shift patterns. Please see the Owner's Manual for further information on configuration that are automatically adjusted.

DEALER SERVICE

ENGINE OIL SELECTION — 5.7L/6.2L/6.4L
NOTE:
Hemi engines (5.7L/6.2L/6.4L) at times can tick right after startup and then quiet down after approximately 30 seconds. This is normal and will not harm the engine. This characteristic can be caused by short drive cycles. For example, if the vehicle is started then shut off after driving a short distance. Upon restarting, you may experience a ticking sound. Other causes could be if the vehicle is unused for an extended period of time, incorrect oil, extended oil changes or extended idling. If the engine continues to tick or if the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on, see the nearest authorized dealer.
