Dodge Magnum SRT (2008 year). Instruction — part 26

1. Clean with a wet soft rag or micro-fiber towel. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol
content or abrasive cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.

2. Dry with a soft tissue.

Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye, or clean the belts with chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fabric.

If the belts need cleaning, use Mopar

威 Total Clean, a mild

soap solution, or lukewarm water. Do not remove the
belts from the vehicle to wash them.

Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the
buckles do not work properly.

Cleaning the Center Console Cupholders
Clean with a damp cloth or towel using a mild detergent
with the cupholder in the center console.

NOTE:

The cupholder cannot be removed.

FUSES (POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTERS)

Fuses (Front Power Distribution Center)
A power distribution center is located in the engine
compartment. This center contains fuses and relays.

CAUTION!

• When installing the power distribution center

cover, it is important to ensure the cover is prop-
erly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the power distribution
center and possibly result in an electrical system
failure.

• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to

use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating.
The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated
may result in a dangerous electrical system over-
load. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must be
corrected.

Cavities 11, 12, and 13 contain self-resetting fuses

(circuit breakers) that are only serviceable by an autho-
rized dealer. The cluster and the driver SEAT switch are

fused by the 25-amp circuit breaker in cavity 11. The
passenger SEAT switch is fused by the 25-amp circuit
breaker in cavity 12. The door modules, the driver power
WINDOW switch, and the passenger power WINDOW
switch are fused by the 25-amp circuit breaker in cavity
13. If you experience temporary or permanent loss of
these systems, see your authorized dealer for service.

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than 21
days, you may want to take these steps to protect your
battery.

• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of

service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the
air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will

ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

Low Beam Headlight, High Beam Headlight, and
Park/Turn Light — Models with High Intensity
Discharge Headlights (HID)

High Intensity Discharge Headlights (HID
The headlights are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlight switch off and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to service a headlight bulb
yourself. If a headlight bulb fails, take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer for service.

WARNING!

A transient high tension occurs at the bulb sockets of
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights when the
headlight switch is turned ON. It may cause serious
electrical shock or electrocution if not serviced prop-
erly. See your authorized dealer for service.

NOTE:

On vehicles equipped with High Intensity Dis-

charge Headlights (HID), when the headlights are turned
on, there is a blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.

1. Open the hood.

NOTE:

Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be

necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlight assem-
bly on the driver side of the vehicle.

2. Twist the appropriate bulb and socket assembly coun-
terclockwise and then pull it out of the headlight assem-
bly.
