While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. However, wide-open
throttle acceleration in low gear can be det-
rimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil, transmission fluid, and axle
lubricant installed at the factory is high-
quality and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid, and
lubricant changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate and conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in "Techni-
cal Specifications”.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a nor-
mal part of the break-in and not interpreted
as an indication of difficulty. Please check
your oil level with the engine oil indicator
often during the break in period. Add oil as
required.
Diesel Engine
The diesel engine does not require a break-in
period due to its construction. Normal opera-
tion is allowed, providing the following rec-
ommendations are followed:
• Warm up the engine before placing it under
load.
• Do not operate the engine at idle for pro-
longed periods.
• Use the appropriate transmission gear to
prevent engine lugging.
• Observe vehicle oil pressure and tempera-
ture indicators.
• Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.• Vary throttle position at highway speeds
when carrying or towing significant weight.
NOTE:
Light duty operation such as light trailer tow-
ing or no load operation will extend the time
before the engine is at full efficiency. Re-
duced fuel economy and power may be seen
at this time.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consis-
tent with anticipated climate conditions un-
der which vehicle operations will occur. The
recommended viscosity and quality grades
are shown under “Fluids And Lubricants” in
"Technical Specifications” in this manual.
NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL
OILS MUST NEVER BE USED.
SRT Engines
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining
optimum performance and maximum dura-
bility 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.
153
Launch control will be active until the vehicle
reaches 62 mph (100 km/h), at which point
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
will return to its current ESC mode.
Launch control will abort before launch
completion, display “Launch Aborted” in the
cluster under any the following conditions:
• The accelerator pedal is released during
launch.
• The ESC system detects that the vehicle is
no longer moving in a straight line.
• The “ESC OFF” button is pressed to change
the system to another mode.
NOTE:
After launch control has been aborted, ESC
will return to its current ESC mode.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not have trac-
tion. Damage to the transmission may oc-
cur.
Guidelines For Track Use
NOTE:
Because of the extreme conditions encoun-
tered during track use, any damage or wear
associated with track use may not be covered
by warranty.
• If your SRT vehicle is equipped with Drive
Modes they will alter the vehicle’s perfor-
mance in various driving situations. It is
recommended that your vehicle operates in
SPORT or TRACK modes during the track
event.
• Prior to each track event/day, verify all flu-
ids are at the correct levels. Refer to “Fluid
Capacities” in “Technical Specifications”
for further information.
• Prior to each track event, verify the front
and rear brake pads have more than ½ pad
thickness remaining. If the brake pads re-
quire changing, please burnish prior to
track outing at full pace.
NOTE:
Use of DOT 4 brake fluid is suggested for
extended track usage due to increased ther-
mal capacity.• At the conclusion of each track event, it is
recommended that a brake bleed procedure
is performed to maintain the pedal feel and
stopping capability of your Brembo High
Performance brake system.
• It is recommended that each track outing
should end with a minimum of one cool
down lap using minimal braking.
• If equipped with a removable lower front
fascia grille, it is recommended to remove it
for track use during warm/hot weather to
improve cooling airflow to critical pow-
ertrain and cooling system components.
• All SRT vehicles are track tested for
24 hours of endurance, however, it is rec-
ommended that suspension system, brake
system, prop shaft, and ½ shaft boots
should be checked for wear or damage after
every track event.
• Track usage results in increased operating
temperatures of the engine, transmission,
driveline and brake system. This may affect
noise vibrations and harshness (NVH)
countermeasures designed into your ve-
hicle. New components may need to be
installed to return the system to the original
NVH performance.

CAUTION!
For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN 590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the en-
gine beyond repair and consequently void
the warranty, due to the damage caused. If
you accidentally introduce other types of
fuel into the tank, do not start the engine.
Empty the tank. If the engine has been run
for even an extremely limited amount of
time, you must not only drain the fuel
tank, but the rest of the supply circuit as
well.
Avoid Using Contaminated Fuel
Fuel that is contaminated by water or dirt can
cause severe damage to the engine fuel sys-
tem. Proper maintenance of the engine fuel
filter and fuel tank is essential. Refer to
“Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Mainte-
nance” in your Owner’s Manual for further
information.
AdBlue® (UREA) — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an UREA injec-
tion system and Selective Catalytic Reduc-
tion to meet emission standards. These two
systems ensure compliance with the diesel
emissions requirements; at the same, they
ensure fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system warnings,
refer to the "Warning Lights And Messages" in
the "Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel"
section. AdBlue
®is a very stable product
with a long shelf life. Stored at temperatures
LOWER than 90 °F (32 °C), it has a shelf life
of at least one year. For more information on
the AdBlue
®liquid type, see the “Fluids and
lubricants” in the “Technical specifications”
section. The vehicle is equipped with an
automatic AdBlue
®heating system when the
engine starts allowing the system to work
correctly at temperatures lower than 12 °F
(-11 °C).
NOTE:
• AdBlue
®freezes at temperatures lower
than 12 °F (-11 °C).• Your vehicle is equipped with a AdBlue
®
injection system. You may occasionally
hear an audible clicking noise from under
the vehicle at a stop. This is normal opera-
tion.
• The AdBlue
®pump will run for a period of
time after engine shutdown to purge the
AdBlue
®system. This is normal operation
and may be audible from the rear of the
vehicle.
AdBlue® Storage
AdBlue®is considered a very stable product
with a long shelf life. If AdBlue®is kept in
temperatures between 10° and 90°F
(-12° and 32°C), it will last a minimum of
one year.
AdBlue
®is subject to freezing at the lowest
temperatures. For example, AdBlue®may
freeze at temperatures at or below 12° F
(-11° C). The system has been designed to
operate in this environment.

blades, this will help blade performance. To
prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer
system in cold weather, select a solution or
mixture that meets or exceeds the tempera-
ture range of your climate. This rating infor-
mation can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and pos-
sible brake damage. You would not have
your full braking capacity in an emergency.
Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should
be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced,
or immediately if the brake system warning
light is on. If necessary, add fluid to bring
level within the designated marks on the side
of the reservoir of the brake master cylinder.
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylin-
der area before removing cap. With disc
brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall asthe brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should
be checked when pads are replaced. If the
brake fluid is abnormally low, check the sys-
tem for leaks.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Techni-
cal Specifications” for further information.
WARNING!
• Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri-
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its per-
formance. The proper type of brake fluid
for your vehicle is also identified on the
original factory installed hydraulic mas-
ter cylinder reservoir.
• To avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture, use only new brake
fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly
closed container. Keep the master cylin-
der reservoir cap secured at all times.
Brake fluid in a open container absorbs
moisture from the air resulting in a lower
