ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your
vehicle is in PARK by looking for the
" P " in the
instrument cluster display and on the shifter. As
an added precaution, always apply the parking
brake when exiting the vehicle.
If Engine Fails To Start
WARNING!
•
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
•
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle.
•
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump-Starting Procedure” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
Cold Weather Operation (Below
–22°F Or −30°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these tempera-
tures, use of an externally powered electric
engine block heater (available from your autho-
rized dealer) is recommended.
After Starting
The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it
will decrease as the engine warms up.
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:
0 to 100 miles (0 to 161 km):
•
Do not allow the engine to operate at idle for
an extended period of time.
•
Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more
than halfway to avoid rapid
acceleration.
•
Avoid aggressive braking.
•
Drive with the engine speed less than
3,500 RPM.
•
Maintain vehicle speed below 55 mph
(88 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
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).
•
Avoid aggressive braking.
•
Drive with the engine speed less than
5,000 RPM.
•
Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph
(112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
•
Exercise the full engine rpm range, shifting
manually (paddles or gear shift) at higher
rpms when possible.
•
Do not perform sustained operation with the
accelerator pedal at wide open throttle.
•
Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph
(136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
For the first 1500 miles (2414 km):
•
Do not participate in track events, sport driv-
ing schools, or similar activities during the
first 1500 miles (2414 km).
