2011–2017 Chrysler 200 FAQ
How does the car determine when an oil change is due?
2017
The system displays “Oil Change Due” for five seconds after one chime; its duty-cycle interval can change with your driving style.
Page 284 in the 2017 manual →How do I reset the oil change indicator after an oil change?
2017
- After completing the scheduled maintenance, do not press the brake; press ENGINE START/STOP and select ON/RUN without starting the engine.
- Slowly press the accelerator pedal fully three times within 10 seconds.
- Without pressing the brake, press ENGINE START/STOP once to return the ignition to OFF/LOCK.
- If the message appears when you start the vehicle, repeat the procedure because the system did not reset.
How do I check the automatic transmission fluid level?
2017
The level is factory-set, there is no dipstick, and routine checks are unnecessary; an authorized dealer can check it with special service tools.
If you notice a leak or transmission malfunction, visit an authorized dealer immediately because an improper fluid level can cause severe damage.
Page 493 in the 2017 manual →2015–2016
Routine changes are not required under normal conditions; change both if the fluid is contaminated, such as with water, or if the transmission is disassembled.
Page 623 in the 2016 manual →When should I change the automatic transmission fluid and filter?
2017
Under normal conditions, the factory fluid provides lubrication for the vehicle's life, so routine fluid and filter changes are not required.
Change the fluid and filter if the fluid becomes contaminated, such as with water, or if the transmission is disassembled.
Page 494 in the 2017 manual →What does Headlight Off Delay control?
2017
This setting adjusts how long the headlights remain on after you shut off the engine.
Page 304 in the 2017 manual →2011–2013
Turn the multifunction lever end to the first detent for parking lights or the second detent for headlights.
If equipped, select the third detent, AUTO, to turn the headlights on or off based on surrounding light levels while the engine runs.
Page 168 in the 2013 manual →What does Headlight Illumination On Approach do?
2017
This setting adjusts how long the headlights stay on after you unlock the doors with the key fob.
Page 305 in the 2017 manual →2011–2013
If a turn-signal indicator stays on or flashes very quickly, check for a defective outside light bulb.
If an indicator does not light when you move the lever, the indicator bulb may be defective.
Page 170 in the 2013 manual →What should I do if my Chrysler 200 needs frequent jump-starts?
2015–2016
Have the battery and charging system inspected at an authorized dealer if frequent jump-starting is required.
Page 580 in the 2016 manual →What does the maintenance schedule call for regarding the cabin air filter?
2015–2016
The maintenance schedule calls for replacing the air conditioning/cabin air filter.
Page 669 in the 2016 manual →2011–2013
If equipped, the A/C air filter prevents most dust and pollen from entering the cabin and filters outside and recirculated air.
Page 291 in the 2013 manual →How can I have the headlights turn on automatically with the windshield wipers?
2015–2016
If equipped, select Headlights With Wipers on the touchscreen while the headlight switch is in AUTO; the headlights turn on about 10 seconds after the wipers start.
The headlights turn off when the wipers are turned off if this feature turned them on.
Page 392 in the 2016 manual →How do I set the headlights to stay on after shutting off the engine?
2015–2016
On the touchscreen, select Headlights Off Delay and choose 0 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec, or 90 seconds; a check mark confirms the setting.
Page 392 in the 2016 manual →What does it mean if the Brake Warning Light and ABS Light turn on together?
2011–2013
This indicates an Electronic Brake Force Distribution failure, and the manual requires immediate repair to the ABS system.
Page 216 in the 2013 manual →What should I do if I smell scorching from the catalytic converter?
2011–2013
- If a scorching odor suggests severe, abnormal catalyst overheating, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, and let it cool.
- Obtain service, including a tune-up to the manufacturer's specifications, immediately.
What should I do if the engine misfires or loses performance?
2011–2013
Have the vehicle serviced promptly, because continued operation with a severe malfunction can overheat and damage the catalytic converter and vehicle.
