SRT ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
SRT Engine Break-In Recommendations: The following tips will be helpful in obtaining
optimum performance and maximum durability for your new SRT Vehicle.
Despite modern technology and World Class manufacturing methods, the moving parts of
the vehicle must still wear in with each other. This wearing in occurs mainly during the first
500 miles (805 km) and continues through the first oil change interval.
It is recommended for the operator to observe the following driving behaviors during the
new vehicle break-in period:
0to100miles(0to161km):
•Donotallowtheenginetooperateatidleforanextendedperiodoftime.
•Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid accelera-
tion.
•Avoidaggressivebraking.
•Drivewiththeenginespeedlessthan3,500RPM.
•Maintainvehiclespeedbelow55mph(88km/h)andobservelocalspeedlimits.
100 to 300 miles (161 to 483 km):
•Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration
in lower gears (1st to 3rd gears).
•Avoidaggressivebraking.
•Drivewiththeenginespeedlessthan5,000RPM.
•Maintainvehiclespeedbelow70mph(112km/h)andobservelocalspeedlimits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
•Exercisethefullenginerpmrange,shiftingmanually(paddlesorgearshift)athigher
rpms when possible.
•Donotperformsustainedoperationwiththeacceleratorpedalatwideopenthrottle.
•Maintainvehiclespeedbelow85mph(136km/h)andobservelocalspeedlimits.
For the first 1500 mi (2414 km):
•Donotparticipateintrackevents,sportdrivingschools,orsimilaractivitiesduringthe
first 1500 mi (2414 km).
NOTE:
Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may
be higher through the first oil change interval.

NOTE:
When connecting your iPod®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately 5 minutes for every 1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also during
the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This process is
needed to ensure the full use of your iPod®features and only happens the first time it is
connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod®will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.

NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink®for the first
time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage
Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the
hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is
normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the fre-
quency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator
light changes from slow to rapid.
5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly push and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button.
NOTE:

6.Return to the vehicle and push the programmed HomeLink®button twice (holding the
button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming
is complete.
NOTE:
If the device does not activate, push the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete
the training.
7. To program the remaining two HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the fre-
quency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator
light changes from slow to rapid.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink®button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door
(or device) should activate when the HomeLink®button is pushed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the device may
also be used at any time.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
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.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km)
or six months, whichever comes first.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
At Each Stop For Fuel
•Checktheengineoillevelaboutfiveminutesafterafullywarmedengineisshutoff.
Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of
the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
