Chrysler 2015 300 - User Guide - Manual (Page 45)

PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the transmission is shifted
into REVERSE. The ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on the radio
display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear of the vehicle
above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView® Rear Back-Up
Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
EIGHT-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The transmission is controlled using a rotary electronic gear selector located on the center
console. The transmission gear range (PRNDL/S) is displayed both above the gear selector and
in the Driver Information Display (DID). To select a gear range, simply rotate the gear selector.
To access the L or S position, push down on the gear selector and then rotate it. You must also
press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into
DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds (refer to “Brake/
Transmission Shift Interlock System” on the DVD for further information). To shift past multiple
gear ranges at once (such as PARK to DRIVE), simply rotate the gear selector to the appropriate
detent. Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.
The electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission
electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat
abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles
(kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these
gears.
