2011–2014 Dodge Avenger FAQ

What does the A/C air filter do?

2011–2014

If equipped, the A/C air filter prevents most dust and pollen from entering the cabin and filters outside and recirculated air.

What does the air bag warning light mean and what should I do?

2014

The air bag warning light should illuminate for four to eight seconds when the ignition is first turned ON as a bulb check.

If it does not light during starting, or stays on, flickers, or appears while driving, have it checked by an authorized dealer.

How do I use the turn signals, and what does rapid flashing mean?

2011–2012

Move the multifunction lever up or down to operate the turn signals.

If a signal stays on without flashing or flashes rapidly, check for a defective outside bulb; an indicator that fails to light suggests a defective indicator bulb.

How do I use the automatic headlights?

2011–2012

If equipped, turn the multifunction lever to AUTO with the engine running; the headlights turn on or off according to surrounding light levels.
