instrument cluster DODGE CHALLENGER 2014 3.G Owner's Manual

ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled dampening system. Thissystem reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering,
acceleration and braking. There are three modes of operation:
Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicle ignition is first turned on. Auto mode will give asporty, but comfortable ride. Within this mode, the suspension will adapt to the vehicle
inputs, including road surfaces, vehicle speed, steering inputs, braking, and accelera-
tion.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto” mode, the transmission will automatically shift up if maximum engine speed is reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for im- proved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
Sport ModeSPORT
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press the SPORT button on the center console). This mode will set suspension for maximum
performance handling and is intended for spirited driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a “ SPORT” message will display in the in-
strument cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
Track Mode (Automatic Transmission Only)
• This mode is selected when the SPORT button is pushed a second time. This mode combines maximum performance suspension and aggressive transmission calibration.
• When Track mode is enabled and the transmission is in AutoStick® the transmission will not automatically upshift at maximum engine speed. It will remain in gear until the driver
selects an upshift. When slowing to a stop it will automatically down shift to prevent
engine lugging.
• When Track mode is enabled a “Track” message will display in the instrument cluster.

• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several
miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the
nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
84

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-
trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence
when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating
Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km)
since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next
500 miles (805 km).
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.
On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the instrument cluster odometer
and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.
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.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road
environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign ofirregular wear, even if it occurs before your next scheduled service.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering and fill as needed.
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights

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 perfor-
mance 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.Change your 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.
