• If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is programmed,

all doors will unlock when you grab hold of the front driver's door handle. • If a key fob is detected in the vehicle when locking the vehicle using the power door lock switch, the doors 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 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 — Passive Entry door handle has not been used for 72 hours, the Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry feature for that handle may time out.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) —

If Equipped If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control, the controls operate exactly the same as the standard cruise control, with one difference. You can set a specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front of you. • If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration auto- matically to maintain a preset following distance while matching the speed of the ve- hicle ahead. NOTE: Your vehicle will not exceed the cruise speed you have set. • If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set. For further information, and applicable warnings and cautions, please refer to the Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Cana- dian Residents). LaneSense — If Equipped The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to detect lane markings and mea- sure vehicle position within the lane boundaries. Turning LaneSense ON Or OFF The default status of LaneSense is “OFF”. The LaneSense button is located on the switch panel below the Uconnect display. LaneSense Warning Message The LaneSense system will indicate the current lane drift condition through the instrument cluster display. The instrument cluster display will pro- vide a visual warning depicting the unintentional lane departure. When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the form of torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. The driver may manu- Adaptive Cruise Switches 1 — Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) On/Off 2 — Distance Setting – Decrease 3 — Distance Setting – Increase SPEED CONTROL SAFETY FEATURES

ally override the haptic warning by applying torque

into the steering wheel at any time. When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system pro- vides a visual warning through the instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to remain within the lane. When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be provided. NOTE: The LaneSense system can be customized and turned off through the Uconnect System touch- screen. For further information, and applicable warnings and cautions, please refer to the Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Cana- dian Residents). Forward Collision Warning With Mitigation — If Equipped The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system can provide the driver with active braking, audible and visual warnings (within the instrument cluster dis- play) and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are intended to pro- vide the driver with enough time to react and avoid or mitigate the potential collision. The system status can be selected to: “Off”, “Only Warning”, and “Warning & Braking”. “Warning & Braking” status with “Medium” sensitivity are the default settings, but can be changed within the Uconnect settings under “Safety and Driving Assistance”. FCW monitors the information from the forward- looking sensor, as well as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system and wheel speed sensors, to calculate the probability of a collision. When the system determines that a collision is probable, a warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed within the cluster display along with a brake jerk warning (previously enabled in the Uconnect Settings). When the system senses the driver applying the brakes to avoid a probable collision, additional brake force will be provided to the vehicle. When the system determines a colli- sion with the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the warning message will be deacti- vated. NOTE: The FCW feature can be customized and turned off through the Uconnect System touchscreen. For further information, and applicable warnings and cautions, please refer to the Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Cana- dian Residents).

• 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 ve- hicle is not recommended. • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) - your vehicle is equipped with selectable ESC modes. The ESC mode selected will alter the handling char- acteristics of your vehicle. • Adjustable Modes - your vehicle is equipped with selectable driving modes: Default (Street), Sport, Track, Custom, ECO, and Valet. • Three-Season Tires - This vehicle may be equipped with three-season tires to enhance performance. FCA US LLC does not recom- mend use of these tires when temperatures are below 40°F (4°C) or in snow/ice conditions. Powertrain & Drivetrain • 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 For complete break-in driving procedure, refer to the Owner’s Manual. 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 - for optimum performance, Premium Fuel with a minimum octane rating of 91 Pump Octane Number (97 RON) is recommended. Transmission: • Applying the brake and throttle pedals at the same time, also known as “brake torquing”, for an extended period of time will illuminate the 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 manual 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 Launch Control to improve acceleration performance. It is acti- vated by pressing the LAUNCH button, located in the instrument panel switch bank, as well as in the radio within “Race Options”, and will STARTING AND OPERATING

help control tire spin for maximum accelera-

tion. The launch RPM is also selectable through the race options screens. Launch Con- trol is not available for the first 500 miles of vehicle life. 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 ap- pearance 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 SATIN FIN- ISH 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. Reference Satin Fin- ish 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 Indica- tion, 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 PIN’s 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 reduc- tion of transmission shift schedules. In addi- tion, the Red key fob will unlock all the options within Drive Modes. The Black key fob will limit your options within Drive Modes. • 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. For further information, and applicable warnings and cautions, please refer to the Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Cana- dian Residents).
