Chrysler 300 2005 Owner's Manual

To reset the tire pressure monitoring system, inflate all tires to the recommended pressure, then drive the vehicle at a speed above 15 mph for at least 10 minutes. The system should reset automatically.
The 2005 Chrysler 300 Sedan typically requires 5W-20 or 5W-30 engine oil, depending on the engine type. Always refer to the owner’s manual for the most accurate information.
First, check the A/C fuse and relay. If they are in good condition, inspect the refrigerant level and look for leaks. If problems persist, it may need a professional diagnosis to check the compressor or other A/C components.
Regular maintenance includes oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, tire rotations every 6,000 miles, and brake inspections every 10,000 miles. Consult the owner’s manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
To replace the headlight bulb, open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly. Remove the power connector, twist the bulb counterclockwise, and replace it with a new one. Reconnect the power and test the light.
If the check engine light comes on, check for any loose or damaged connections in the engine bay, such as the gas cap. If the light remains, use an OBD-II scanner to read the trouble codes or visit a mechanic for diagnosis.
To program a new key fob, insert the original key into the ignition and switch it to the 'On' position. Within 10 seconds, insert the new key and turn it to 'On'. Wait for the chime, then test the new key fob.
Starting issues can be due to a weak battery, faulty starter motor, or issues with the ignition switch. Check the battery voltage and connections first, then consider inspecting the starter and ignition components.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance such as air filter and spark plug replacements, maintain proper tire pressure, and avoid carrying unnecessary weight. Consider using fuel system cleaners periodically.
Common transmission issues include rough shifting and delayed engagement. Check the transmission fluid level and condition first. If problems persist, a professional inspection may be needed to assess solenoids or internal damage.
