configuration as part of SRT Performance Control. Use of
the red key fob unlocks the full potential of the engine’s
output, and allows the driver to select from two power
levels within SRT Mode Set-Up.Use of the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced
engine output. This information is also available within the
SRT Performance Control interface, and can be accessed by
pressing the “KEY FOB” button on the touchscreen in the

Modes main menu. Eco mode modifies the vehicle’s engine
and transmission settings to provide improved 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.
