ECO MODE — IF EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSIONPress the “ECO” button on the touchscreen on the SRT
Drive Modes main menu. Eco mode modifies the vehi-
cle’s engine and transmission settings to provide im-
proved 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 amount of operating
conditions where the vehicle is allowed to operate in four
cylinder shutoff mode (6.4L Only).
The Paddle Shifters will be disabled while in Eco mode.
•Changing the Drive Mode will deactivate Eco.
• Eco will be disabled when another Drive Mode is
selected or “ECO” button is pressed.
