1. Ensure the car is in Park (P) or Neutral (N): Automatic transmissions require this. Manual transmissions don't have this restriction, but it's still good practice to have the clutch depressed.
2. Turn the ignition key (or press the start button): Older Dodge Chargers will have a key that needs to be turned. Newer models have a push-button start. If it's a push-button start, you'll likely need to have the key fob nearby.
3. Depress the brake pedal (automatic transmission): Most modern cars, including Dodge Chargers with automatic transmissions, require you to depress the brake pedal before the car will start.
That's it! If it doesn't start, check your battery, fuel level, and any warning lights on the dashboard. If there are still issues, consult your owner's manual or a mechanic.
