Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the
booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post
of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post
of the discharged vehicle.
5. If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or

This guide has been prepared to help you
get quickly acquainted with your new SRT
and to provide a convenient reference
source for common questions. However, it
is not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions,
maintenance procedures and important
safety messages, please consult your
Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect®
Manuals, and other Warning Labels in
your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may

local SRT high performance dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent
causes of accidents. Your driving ability can
be seriously impaired with blood alcohol
levels far below the legal minimum. If you
are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a
designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a
friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an
accident. Your perceptions are less sharp,
your re!exes are slower, and your judgment
is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.
The driver’s primary responsibility
is the safe operation of the vehicle.
Driving while distracted can result
in loss of vehicle control, resulting
in a collision and personal injury.
FCA US LLC strongly recommends
that the driver use extreme caution
when using any device or feature
that may take their attention off the
road. Use of any electrical devices,
such as cellular telephones,
computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other
devices, by the driver
while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous and could lead
to a serious collision. Texting while
driving is also dangerous and should
never be done while the vehicle is
moving. If you "nd yourself unable
to devote your full attention to
vehicle operation, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some states or provinces
prohibit the use of cellular
telephones or texting while driving.
It is always the driver’s responsibility
to comply with all local laws.
