2019 DODGE DURANGO SRT battery

WARNING!
•Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can
burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid to
contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not lean over
a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in
eyes or on skin, flush the area immediately with
large amounts of water. Refer to “Jump Starting
Procedure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for further
information.
• Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep flame
or sparks away from the battery. Do not use a booster
battery or any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable clamps to
touch each other.
• Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the cables on the
battery that the positive cable is attached to the
positive post and the negative cable is attached to the
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
negative post. Battery posts are marked positive (+)
and negative (-) and are identified on the battery
case. Cable clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.
• If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is in the
vehicle, disconnect both vehicle battery cables before
connecting the charger to the battery. Do not use a
“fast charger” to provide starting voltage.
DEALER SERVICE

special tools, and equipment to perform all service opera-
tions in an expert manner. Service Manuals are available
which include detailed service information for your ve-
hicle. Refer to these Service Manuals before attempting any
procedure yourself.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control sys-
tems may void your warranty and could result in civil
penalties being assessed against you.
400 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING!(Continued)
include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or
peak traction characteristics.
Temperature Grades
The Temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat, when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of
the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance, which all pas-
senger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel, than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for
a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.

WARNING! (Continued)
Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive load-
ing, either separately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for more than a
month, observe the following precautions:
• Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and possibly airy
location the windows open slightly.
• Check that the Electric Park Brake is not engaged.
• Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery
post and be sure that the battery is fully charged. During
storage check battery charge quarterly.
• If you do not disconnect the battery from the electrical
system, be sure to check the battery charge every 30
days. Also, it is recommended that you use storage
mode. For more information refer to “Instrument Clus-
ter Display Menu Items” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel”.
• Clean and protect the painted parts by applying protec-
tive waxes.
446 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

•Clean and protect polished metal parts by applying
protective waxes.
• Apply talcum powder to the front and rear wiper blades
and leave raised from the glass.
• Cover the vehicle with an appropriate cover taking care
not to damage the painted surface by dragging across
dirty surfaces. Do not use plastic sheeting which will not
allow the evaporation of moisture present on the surface
of the vehicle.
• Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi (+0.5 bar)
higher than recommended on the tire placard and check
it periodically.
• Do not drain the engine cooling system.
• Whenever you leave the vehicle is stationary for two
weeks or more, run idle the engine for approximately
five minutes, with the air conditioning system on and
high fan speed. This will ensure a proper lubrication of
the system, thus minimizing the possibility of damage to
the compressor when the vehicle is put back into opera-
tion.CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and negative terminals
to the battery, wait at least a minute with ignition
switch in the OFF position and close the driver ’s door.
When reconnecting the positive and negative terminals
to the battery be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position and the driver ’s door is closed.
Battery Storage Mode
With the ignition in the ON position, engine not running,
navigate to the battery gauge page on the instrument
cluster display, then press and hold the OK button. The
vehicle will be put into battery storage mode, which will
greatly increase the amount of time the vehicle can sit and
restart without needing to disconnect the battery. Going
into battery storage mode will increase the amount of time
between starts to about 60 days.
NOTE: The key fob buttons will not work while the
vehicle is in battery storage mode, pulling the door handle
will wake the vehicle and allow it to recognize the key fob
to unlock the door.

Race Cooldown — If Equipped
Race Cooldown, if equipped, is a selectable After-Run
Cooling Feature.
Race Cooldown, if equipped, is a feature activated by
selecting the Race Cooldown button under Race Options
within the Drive Modes pages.
To enable this feature, the vehicle will check to ensure the
engine is off, the hood is closed, the status of the battery
and system are good, and determine if cooling is required.
After making a pass down the drag strip, this feature helps
cool the car after the engine has been shut down. The
radiator fan and low temperature radiator coolant pump
remain on after engine shutdown for a period up to 10
minutes or until target temperature is reached.
A graph in the radio can show the resulting intercooler
coolant temperature in real time while the vehicle ignition
is in run position with the engine off.NOTE: Race Cooldown feature (After-Run) will only come
on with engine off. The temperature will display with
engine running also, but After-Run Cooling will not be
functioning.

This feature will automatically deactivate after extended
driving at road speeds, or when one or more of the
following conditions apply:
•If coolant temperatures reaches the target temperature
and cooling is no longer required.
• If battery voltage or state of charge drops below a
threshold.
• The hood is opened.VALET MODE
To enter Valet Mode press the “Valet” button on the
touchscreen and a popup screen will ask you if you would
like to enter Valet Mode, after selecting “Yes” you will be
asked to enter a four digit PIN code. The PIN code is not

NOTE:If your four digit PIN is lost or forgotten, the
vehicle will exit Valet Mode after a battery disconnect for
approximately five minutes. Reconnect the battery and
cycle the ignition to the RUN position, the vehicle will be in
Auto Mode.
ECO MODE
Push the ECO button on the touchscreen to enter ECO
mode. ECO mode modifies the vehicle’s engine and trans-
mission settings to provide improved fuel economy at a
trade-off with acceleration performance. Increased engine
exhaust noise and/or vibration may be noticed while ECO
is active. This is normal and a result of the increased
