SRT ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
It is recommended for the operator to observe the following driving behaviors during the
new vehicle break-in period:
0to100miles(0to161km):
•Donotallowtheenginetooperateatidleforanextendedperiodoftime.
•Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid accelera-
tion.
•Avoidaggressivebraking.
•Drivewiththeenginespeedlessthan3,500RPM.
•Maintainvehiclespeedbelow55mph(88km/h)andobservelocalspeedlimits.
100 to 300 miles (161 to 483 km):
•Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration
in lower gears (1st to 3rd gears).
•Avoidaggressivebraking.
•Drivewiththeenginespeedlessthan5,000RPM.
•Maintainvehiclespeedbelow70mph(112km/h)andobservelocalspeedlimits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
•Exercisethefullenginerpmrange,shiftingmanually(paddlesorgearshift)athigher
rpms when possible.
•Donotperformsustainedoperationwiththeacceleratorpedalatwideopenthrottle.
•Maintainvehiclespeedbelow85mph(136km/h)andobservelocalspeedlimits.
For the first 1500 mi (2414 km):
•Donotparticipateintrackevents,sportdrivingschools,orsimilaractivitiesduringthe
first 1500 mi (2414 km).
NOTE:
Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may
be higher through the first oil change interval.

Rain Mode
•Rainmodeoffersincreasedtractioncontrolandstabilitycontrolforlowtraction
conditions such as wet roads, dry roads during cold temperatures, or when the driver
wants enhanced stability due to lack of familiarity or experience with the vehicle’s
response. To enter the “Rain Mode” mode, push the “ESC” switch three times. The
“ESC RAIN” light will illuminate, and the “ESC RAIN” message will display in the
vehicle cluster (left of the odometer).
NOTE:
Some models may not offer “Sport” or “Track” Mode.
WARNING!
The Electronic Stability Control System (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate driver input
for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION 1 TO 4 SKIP SHIFT
•SkipShiftisenabledwhenvehiclespeedisgreaterthan16MPH
(26 km/h) but less than 18 MPH (29 km/h) and the accelerator is
at 20% or less.
•Foroptimalfueleconomy,underlowaccelerationconditions,your
vehicle will only allow you to shift from first gear to fourth gear.
Additionally, the skip shift message will appear in the tachometer.

ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release switch (located in the driver's door map pocket).
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the flapper
door while refueling.
NOTE:
Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches allowing the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
NOTE:
