The specific grade rating assigned by the tire’s manufacturer in each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires on your vehicle. All passenger car tires must conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear The Treadwear grade is a comparative rating, based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road charac- teristics and climate. Traction Grades The Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement, as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor- mance. IF YOU NEED CONSUMER ASSISTANCE 359 WARNING! The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics. Temperature Grades The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat, when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance, which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor 360 IF YOU NEED CONSUMER ASSISTANCE Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A repre- sent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel, than the minimum required by law. WARNING! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive load- ing, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

incorporated into this vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed properly by trained person- nel. The following must be observed during installation. The positive power connection should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. The negative power connection should be made to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection. This connection should not be fused. Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped. The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded coaxial cable. Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than normal may require special precautions. All installations should be checked for possible interfer- ence between the communications equipment and the vehicle’s electronic systems. 2 81-226-0810 First Edition Printed in U.S.A. 2 0 0 8 O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L Charger SRT8 62713 08 DodgeChallenger.qxd:62713cov 12/20/07 2:42 PM Page 1 2 0 0 8 O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L Challenger SRT8 81-226-0821 First Edition Printed in U.S.A.

This system consists of a Fob with Integrated Key and a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with an integral ignition switch. You can insert the double-sided integrated key into the ignition switch with either side up. Keyless Go Feature This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Go feature, refer to Section 5 of this manual for more information. Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similarly to an ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three of which are detented and one spring-loaded. The de- tented positions are LOCK, ACC, and ON. The START position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the START position, the switch automatically returns to the detented ON position. 1 — LOCK 2 — ACCESSORY 3 — ON 4 — START Fob With Integrated Key The Fob with Integrated Key operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans- mitter and a valet key, which stores in the rear of the Fob. The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead. The valet key is also for locking the glove box. You can keep the valet key with you when valet parking. To remove the valet key from the Fob, slide the mechani- cal latch at the top of the Fob sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out of the Fob with your other hand. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 13 Valet Key Removal NOTE: You can insert the double-sided valet key into the lock cylinders with either side up. 14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Ignition Key Removal Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the key to the LOCK position and then remove the key. NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power sunroof (if equipped), and ignition-powered power out- lets will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either door will cancel this feature. The time for this feature is programmable. Refer to “Delay Power Off to Accessories Until Exit,” under “Personal Settings (Cus- tomer Programmable Features),” under “Electronic Ve- hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4. WARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seri- ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove key from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key. The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds NOTE: when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC position. SENTRY KEY姞 The Sentry Key威 Immobilizer System prevents unautho- rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The system uses the factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter with integrated key and Wireless Igni- tion Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera- tion. Therefore, only RKE transmitters that are pro- grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15 the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank if an invalid RKE transmitter is used to operate the ignition switch. After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. This condition will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. If the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle ser- viced as soon as possible. 16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE NOTE: • The Sentry Key威 Immobilizer System is not compat- ible with aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection. • Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional RKE transmit- ters, or any other transponder-equipped components on the same key chain will not cause a fault unless the additional part is physically held against the trans- mitter being used to start the vehicle. Cell phones, pagers, or other RF electronics will not cause interfer- ence with this system. All of the RKE transmitters provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only RKE transmitters that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a transmitter is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. CAUTION! Always remove the keys from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is required for authorized dealer replacement of RKE trans- mitters. Duplication of RKE transmitters may be per- formed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming procedure. This procedure consists of programming a blank transmitter to the vehicle electron- ics. A blank transmitter is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key威 Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle RKE transmitters with you to the authorized dealer. Customer Key Programming If you have two valid RKE transmitters with integrated keys, you can program new transmitters to the system by performing the following steps: 1. Insert the first valid integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first key. 2. Insert the second valid integrated key and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17 After 10 seconds, a chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key. 3. Insert a blank integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will stop flashing, turn on again for three seconds, and then turn off. The new integrated key is programmed. The RKE trans- mitter will also be programmed during this procedure. Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed RKE transmitter with inte- grated key, contact your authorized dealer for details. 18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized NOTE: dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the sys- tem’s memory. This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be reprogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an authorized dealer at the time of service to be repro- grammed. General Information The Sentry Key威 system complies with FCC rules Part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undes- ired operation. SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM The Vehicle Security Alarm System monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the system will prevent the vehicle from starting and provide the following audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse; the headlights will flash; the park lights will flash; and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will flash. Rearming Of The System If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the system will turn the horn off after three minutes, turn all of the visual signals off after 15 minutes, and then the system will rearm itself. To Arm The System Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in about 16 seconds. During that time, the Vehicle Secu- rity Alarm Indicator Light will flash. If it does not illuminate, the system is not arming. In addition, if you open a door during the arming period, the system will cancel the arming process. If you wish to rearm the system after closing the door, you must repeat one of the previously-described arming sequences. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19 To Disarm The System Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch and turn the key to the ON position.
