2023–2025 Dodge Hornet FAQ
When should the automatic transmission fluid and filter be changed?
2024–2025
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required, but change both if the fluid is contaminated or the transmission is disassembled.
Page 255 in the 2025 manual →How can I start the vehicle with a depleted key fob battery?
2025
If pressing the ignition button does not change the ignition state or mode, place the key fob in the cupholder and press the ignition button.
If the doors were locked using the key fob, Passive Entry, or the vehicle app, you must use this backup starting method.
Page 37 in the 2025 manual →What should I do if the red brake warning light stays on?
2025
The light may indicate an applied parking brake, low brake fluid, or an ABS-related problem.
Disengage the parking brake; if the light remains on, have the vehicle checked immediately because driving may be dangerous, even if fluid is at the master-cylinder reservoir's full mark.
Page 93 in the 2025 manual →What should I check monthly or before a long trip?
2025
Check the engine oil, washer fluid, tire pressures and condition, coolant, brake fluid, and all interior and exterior lights; fill fluids as needed and rotate tires at the first sign of irregular wear.

Page 88 in the 2025 manual →What should I check if Level 2 charging does not start?
2025
- Check the charging station's indications and instructions.
- Check whether a charging schedule is enabled and whether the current day and time are scheduled.
- To override the schedule for this event, press the charge-port button or unplug and reconnect the connector within 10 seconds.
- Close the hood, because charging is disabled while it is open and resumes when it closes.
2024
Check the station instructions, confirm the charging schedule is active for the current day and time, and verify that the hood is closed because charging is disabled while it is open.
To override an enabled schedule for this charge, plug in, unplug, and plug in again within 10 seconds.
Page 26 in the 2024 manual →How do I charge the vehicle with a Level 2 charging station?
2025
Choose a 240 Volt Level 2 EVSE; for home installation, 40 Amp is recommended, with connection to a 40 Amp circuit breaker and delivery of 32 Amp maximum.
For public charging, verify the station can charge, shift the vehicle to PARK before connecting, and listen for a click confirming proper coupling.

Page 17 in the 2024 manual →When should I change the engine oil?
2024
When the oil-change message appears, service is required; frequent short trips, trailer towing, and extreme temperatures can affect when it appears.
Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within 500 miles, and never exceed 10,000 miles, one year, or 350 engine hours, whichever comes first.
Page 222 in the 2024 manual →2023
The instrument cluster displays an oil-change message for five seconds, and the interval varies with your driving style.

2024
Place the key fob in the cupholder and press the ignition button.
If the depleted fob locked the doors using the fob, Passive Entry lock button, or vehicle App, use this backup to start, then unlock through the available fob, Passive Entry handle, or App method.
Page 36 in the 2024 manual →What should I do if Remote Start fails or stops early?
2023
The cluster may identify an open door, hood, or liftgate, low fuel, cold conditions, expired time, or a disabled system.
If it displays Remote Start Disabled - Start Vehicle To Reset, place the ignition in ON/RUN; the message remains until then.
