INTRODUCTION

This booklet is a supplement to both the Charger and

Magnum Owner’s Manuals prepared with the assistance

of service and engineering specialists and is intended to

aid the operators of police or fleet vehicles (used in severe

duty, high mileage operations) in understanding the

operation and required maintenance procedures for such

vehicles. It covers maintenance procedures for vehicles

equipped with heavy-duty packages. However, other

vehicles operated under the conditions listed below are

also considered “severe service” vehicles and should be

serviced and maintained as prescribed in this booklet.

This supplement applies to rear wheel drive passenger

cars only. You are urged to read this publication and the

Owner’s Manual carefully.

Refer to the Police Upfitter’s Guide provided with your

vehicle prior to the addition of any aftermarket equip-

ment.

Following the instructions and recommendations pro-

vided herein will help assure safe and reliable operation

of your vehicle. After you have read the booklet it should

be stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and

remain with the vehicle when sold.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

CONTENTS

䡵Brake System Maintenance

................ 6

BRAKE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

Perform this procedure in a controlled environment,

as high speeds and high rates of deceleration are

necessary in order to complete this procedure. Fail-

ure to follow this warning can result in an accident

with serious or fatal injuries.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer

much greater injuries if you are not properly buck-

led up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or

other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the

vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your

vehicle are buckled up properly.

All new brake systems have a burnishing (break-in)

period. This burnishing (break-in) period will vary ac-

cording to individual driving habits and driving condi-

tions (e.g. rush hour, city, highway, etc). Smoke and odor

associated with brake burnishing is normal. Therefore,

we recommend using the following procedure should

you want to accelerate the burnishing (break-in) period

on the heavy-duty brake system on your vehicle:

In a controlled environment, perform a series of high-

speed threshold braking stops by accelerating the vehicle

to a speed of 60 to 70 mph followed each time by a high

deceleration stop. Repeat this 15 to 20 times, in sequence,

with a 15 to 20 second period of rest in between each

stop. After completing this procedure, allow the brakes to

cool completely before driving the vehicle again.

Sentry Key Immobilizer — If Equipped

Do not hold transponders against the ignition key

being used when starting vehicles equipped with the

Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The

tilt adjustment must be locked while driving. Ad-
