steering DODGE CHARGER 2015 7.G Owner's Manual

This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a
potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect®
System Screen:
•On
•Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing limited
autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off,” “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the DID.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid
acollisionbycontrollingthevehicleviabrakingandsteering.Failuretofollowthis
warning could lead to serious injury or death.

LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button, located
on the switch panel below the Uconnect®display.
•PushtheLaneSensebuttonto turn the system ON (LED turns off).
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to detect
lane markings and measure vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the lane
(no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the form of
torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane, the LaneSense
system provides a visual warning through the Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt
the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain within the
lane. When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will cancel if
the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.

AUTOSTICK/STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED PADDLE SHIFTERS
•AutoStickisadriver-interactivetrans-
mission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control
of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to
maximize engine braking, and improve
overall vehicle performance.
•This system can also provide you with more
control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE (D) position, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the eight available gears. To activate AutoStick, move the shift lever
into the MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE position). The current transmission gear
will be displayed in the instrument cluster, along with a highlighted "M" (Manual)
indication. When the shift lever is in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the shift lever forward
(-) (or tap the (-) shift paddle on the steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, or tap the lever rearward (+) (or tap the (+) shift
paddle, if equipped) to command an upshift.
NOTE:
Ta p p i n g o n e o f t h e s t e e r i n g w h e e l - m o u n t e d s h i f t p a d d l e s ( + / - ) , i f e q u i p p e d , w h i l e t h e s h i f t
lever is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick
mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter
AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, but the "M" will not be highlighted. The transmission will revert back
to normal operation (if the shift lever remains in DRIVE) after a period of time, depending
on accelerator pedal activity.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles [if equipped]), unless an engine
lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the selected gear until
another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described below.
•IntemporaryAutoStickmode(shiftleverinDRIVE),thetransmissionwillautomatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully depressed,
the transmission will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and
gear, except 6.4L models). Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmis-
sion to revert to automatic operation.
•IfnormalAutoStickmodeisengaged(shiftleverinMANUALposition),manualgear
selection will be maintained until the shift lever is returned to DRIVE, or as described
below. The transmission will not upshift automatically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor.

once again indicated in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick
mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
SPORT MODE — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE CONTROL

for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with automatic
transmission), and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will
provide improved throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving
experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pressing the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes, refer to “Performance Control — If Equipped”
