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.

mBrake System Maintenance .................6

BRAKE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

Perform this procedure in a controlled environment,

as high speeds and moderate rates of deceleration are

necessary in order to complete this procedure. Failure

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 buckled

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 burnish procedure to

burnish the heavy-duty brake system on your vehicle:

In a controlled environment, accelerate the vehicle to a

speed of 60 mph (97 km/h), maintain this speed for a few

seconds, and then apply the brakes for a moderate

deceleration, slowing the vehicle to a speed of 10 to 5

mph (16 to 8 km/h). Repeat this sequence 40 times.

However, allow 30 seconds between braking maneuvers

to cool the brakes. After completing this procedure, allow

the brakes to cool completely before driving the vehicle

again.
