FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) — IF
EQUIPPED
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides
the driver with audible warnings, visual warnings
(within the DID), to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE: FCW monitors the information from the forward
looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided with audible and
visual warnings.

Brake Warning Light
Red TelltaleLight What It Means
United States
Canada
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system reser-
voir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may
be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-
ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi-
tions. The vehicle should have service performed, and
the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces-
sary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed.
It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have
a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS
Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by
turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the
ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for ap-
proximately two seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Indicator Light
Yellow TelltaleLight What It Means
Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Indicator Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and service is required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if the brake warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

Performance Shift Indicator (PSI) – If Equipped
The Performance Shift Indicator (PSI) is enabled on
vehicles with manual transmission, or when a vehicle
with automatic transmission is in manual shift mode. The
PSI provides the driver with a visual indication within
the DID display when the driver configured gear shift
point has been reached and the driver is still accelerating.
This indication notifies the driver to change gear corre-
sponding to the configured RPMs in the head unit. When
the shift up indicator is shown on the display, the PSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher gear.
The PSI indicator in the DID display remains illuminated
until the driver changes gear, or the driving conditions
return to a situation where changing gear is not required,
corresponding to the configured RPMs in the head unit.

situations. It is recommended that your vehicle operates
in SPORT or TRACK modes during the track event.
Prior to each track event/day:
•Verify allfluids are at the correct levels. Refer to
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fluid levels & specifi-
cations.
• Verify the front and rear brake pads have more than ½
the original pad thickness remaining. If the brake pads
require changing, please burnish prior to track outing
at full pace. Refer to “Track Burnishing Your Brakes.”
At the conclusion of each track event, it is recommended
that a brake bleed procedure be performed to maintain
the pedal feel and stopping capability of your Brembo
High Performance brake system.
It is recommended that each track outing end with a
minimum of one cool down lap using minimal braking. Change the differential and manual transmission fluid
after every five hours of track use. Refer to “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for fluid levels & specifications.
If equipped with a removable lower front fascia grille, it
is recommended to remove it for track use during
warm/hot weather to improve cooling airflow to critical
powertrain and cooling system components.
All SRT vehicles are track tested for 24 hours of endur-
ance, however, it is recommended that the suspension
system, brake system, prop shaft, and half shaft boots
should be inspected for wear or damage after every track
event.
