Instructions in the manual say to put the key in the ignition, turn to RUN (no 'RUN' on the ignition), then press the desired setting (1 or 2) then adjust if necessary and press SET 1 or 2 then press an the lock button on the key within 10 seconds.
Repeat for the second key.
Doesn't appear to be working for me...it seems to be stuck on the setting for the 2nd driver key even when the car is unlocked with the first. Have to manually press the 1 button :-(
Tony.
But I appreciate your help. Ivan1
Anyone else have this problem?
Thank you, I bet that is what is happening with the bright lights. Now, if I can just keep the parking brake from coming on by itself....
10,000 miles on car now ... drove across Canada and back.
My 300 is still not starting intermittantly. Keeping a log for the dealer and it takes 5 turns of the key to start the car now about every 2nd/3rd day. ALWAYS happens on the 1st start of the day. Dealership cannot emulate the problem so they have not been able to find a resolution. Anybody else have the same problem?
Blew a driving lamp also - had it replaced under warranty.
1-Call Chrysler and talk to Regional Rep NOT Customer Service (they can't help you)
2-Go to a different dealer. If this is not an option (there's only one dealer in your area), then let Chrysler Reg. Rep know that they need to take the car
3-Inform Chrysler that you will acquire a lawyer if they do not buy back the vehicle or work to get the car fixed or offer a new vehicle.
I'm not saying you're not.. but always be professional with your expression. Show frustration but have composure! I'm sure it will work out, one way or another!
2. when driving at high speeds the RPMS will drop and come back up and the cruise control light flashes. The cruise control is not engaged.
This is not a constant problem.
3. We have had the car on the tester and no codes show.
HELP!!!!
Anyway, we are all posting a complaint with NHTSA, stating that in our opinion, this is a safety factor. You also should file a complaint. Maybe we can get a recall.
I haven't taken any long trips, but the gas mileage is disappointing so far. My last fillup indicated a about 22 mpg. That is for combined highway and city, in my area, with the furthest trip, 60 miles and another of 40.
I would appreciate your experiences.

Mostly at first start of the day.
As it gets colder now it takes from 5 to 60 tries to start the car 70% of the time. (The dealership asked us to log it
The only solution will be to rent a car for 2 - 3 days until the dealership can emulate the problem and then get a read out. My cash too 'cause DC will not provide a loaner car unless I pay for the ext. warrranty first. (Is this held hostage or what!)
We are very pissed off with our first new car and first Chrysler - the last one for us!
We filled in a recent survey from DC and my soft-spoken fiance asked me to write a comment: "If you will write us a cheque for the car, we will gladly give it back!" Basically a great looking car but what a P.O.S. We have been patient but after 2 recalls, pulling problems (TSB) and now not starting, we should have kept the Ford SUV that was paid for! Any help on the starting problem would be appreciated - the dealership has no clue! Tks.
Any fix for your starting problem - ours is getting worse ... almost to the point of it just not starting.
No promises but it's worth a shot.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you
If you don't have the brochure that states this, check the Chrysler web site. I believe it is stated somewhere on that site.
I have a Crossfire and I have this upgraded warranty along with all Pacifica buyers. I believe the upgrade (rental car) warranty applies to the 300 as well.
Dealership has finally found the problem - and then the car started for them
Anyway, the PROBLEM IS THE MAIN COMPUTER - a sealed unit so they have ordered me a new one.
They will put a rental for me on the worksheet and claim it back from Chrysler as it is in stock in montreal.
Cheers.
Does anyone with a 300C have polished metal stock wheels.
I'm hoping they will be fairly easy to clean in the winter.
So . . . how should they be maintained?
