2022 DODGE CHARGER warning

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident
and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution whe\
n 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 accident.\
Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while th\
e vehicle
is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention t\
o 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 dr\
iving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Dodg\
e brand vehicle and to provide a convenient reference source for
common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For add\
itional information, visit mopar.com/om (U.S.), owners.mopar.ca (Canada) or your

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk 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 rideshare, a friend, or use public
transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judg\
ment is impaired when you have
been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway \
motor vehicle can expose you to
chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lea\
d, which are known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the
engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash\
your hands frequently
when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
