Dodge Charger: STARTING AND OPERATING / STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside
mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
- When exiting the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in OFF
mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
- Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.
- Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location
accessible to chil- dren), and do not leave the ignition (of a vehicle equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go) in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
- Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather.
Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death.
The gear selector must be in the PARK position before you can start the engine.
Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear.
CAUTION!
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after the vehicle has come
to a complete stop...
Other information:
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your
vehicle's emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.
For states that require an Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system
is ready for testing...
Auto-Down Feature
The driver and front passenger door power window switches have an Auto-Down feature.
Push the window switch down to the second detent, release, and the window will go
down automatically.
To stop the window from going all the way down during the Auto-Down operation,
pull up or push down on the switch briefly...
