CHRYSLER 300 2014 2.G User Guide

SRT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or mileages
specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions, such as
dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be done anytime a
malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles, “Oil Change Required” will be
displayed in the EVIC and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means
that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
• The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Changeyour vehicle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil change, even if the oil change
indicator message is NOT illuminated.
• Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.
• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or six months, whichever comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your authorized dealer,
the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Instrument Cluster Warning
Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for
further information.
At Each Stop For Fuel
• Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures/Engine Oil” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once A Month
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering, and add as needed.
• Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate to
the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for
more information regarding tire warnings and
instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehiclehandling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle . Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the
leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or
“blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road
and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can
cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-
inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust the following MOPAR® wheel cleaners are
recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
For chrome wheels, use MOPAR® Chrome Cleaner or equivalent.
For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent.
Dark Vapor Chrome Wheels — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor Chrome wheelsUSE ONLY MILD SOAP AND
WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH.
Used on a regular basis this is all that is required to maintain this finish.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives or polishing compounds. They will permanently
damage this finish and void your warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use oven
cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid automatic car
washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
