The ocean blue is my favorite version in this car.
I got a 2013 I wish mine looked like that
White or the ceramic grey 🤤
The difference using Sports mode in my 14,000 mile black 2018 Chrysler 300C Hemi changes the shifts holding them UpTo redline and adds cool down shifts similar to Rev match. When I was at my local Dragstrip for test and tune. I found letting the transmission shift automatically in Sport mode was the best way to run the car since I found it was to easy hitting the Rev limiter using the paddles and the standard setting shifts weren't as crisp. I enjoy it so much that I only use sports mode around town. I just added a K&N cold air that sounds fantastic and feels faster. I'll find out during my next Dragstrip visit. I really love my Chrysler 300C and the luxury and performance it offers. I normally trade car every 3-years, but have decided to keep my 300 because I enjoy it so much, and I believe FCA will discountinue the 300 since most buyers want the highly advertised Charger. I test drove both and the 300C was an easy choice for what I was looking for In a sedan.
I have a 2015 5.7 litre 300s,when i want to do a burnout i turn off traction control and turn on sport mode......of course this is only done while in Mexico.
buickmonte 👍🏼
Good video guy at dealership couldn't answer this question lol
Thanks for the video 👍
I hate that knob shifter ...like changing the channel on a 1980's TV.
I love it lol
Not sure if it’s just the 5.7 but it turns off 4 cylinder mode ... fuel saving mode I guess you can say
Don’t even know how to launch it somehow 😒
You made a video of exactly what a I wanted to know! Keep up the great work. Best part is that the info comes from an enthusiast and not a salesman
What is the red circle that comes off and on near the speed dial
300 Chrysler with Hemi
Exhaust didn’t get louder. Rolling RPMs are higher because it holds gears longer. At 30pmh in D I’m sitting at 1,400rpm in 5th but in Sport I’m at about 3,200RPM in 3rd.
As @Jorge Carretero said, Turn off traction control while performing these tests. Your display will change to sports track mode.
Also, I find that putting in sport mode on AWD models turns on or engages AWD.
Yeah it kind of bums me out but don't have to worry about traction lol
Is it true that you guys don't get the SRT8 model over there ? In Australia the 350KW 6.4 Hemi is prolific !
Hey yeah they cut the SRT model starting in 2015, you guys still have it 😩 we wish we did lol
Yeah it sucks. Srt stopped in 2014 over here
Doesnt sport mode also turn off the MDS?
It also runs at higher rpm's and lower gears. Only shifts to 6th gear on the highway at speed limit or slightly higher. Turn off sport mode, then it will shift up to 7th and 8th. Good for in the city driving, not so much on the highway, though. Unless you are just get'n on it. It's a suoer nice fun car to drive. I own a white 2017 300S.
Me to bud same year color and trim lol they’re great
Thanks for the detailed explanation, appreciate all of your videos! 💯
Thanks for watching!
But why a transmission s mode and a button? It seems redundant. Are you supposed to use both button and s mode? Or will one do the same as the other?
I also feel like the button uses more gas
Nice little video. I am over from the UK and lucky enough to get a 300s as a hire car, so nice to get a quick guide to how to sharpen it up a bit.
On my 2015 Hyundai Elantra, 'Sport' is just one of three(the other two 'Comfort' and 'Normal') steering modes. The difference between the three is slight, but pretty much what it does is change the amount of electric steering assist/boost. In Comfort mode the steering is light(maximum assist) almost vague, whereas in Sport the steering is tighter and heavier(less assist). Normal is, well, normal! Kind of in between. I experimented with different tire pressures for several days at a time, and found that the biggest differences between the steering modes could be felt with the cold tire pressures set as close as possible to the pressures listed on the B-pillar load sticker, 33psi. Actually, I run 32psi all around, as I find the 33psi a little too harsh and jittery. I run Normal steering mode in town, and Sport on highways, which relaxes the driving experience a bit and reduces the need for constant corrections at 60+mph.
On my Overland Jeep using sport mode does all you listed on the 300 plus it lowers the Jeep.
What does it mean if my 2019 has a blinking red light next to the odometer? Is it the AT? Or that my battery on the remote is giving out?
So many questions left unclear and unanswered. First the times clocked were for what distance or speed? I saw the speedo at 100 and the time at 7 sec. So was that 0-100. The very next slide says the 0-60 time was .24 sec faster in sport mode. Which is it. Then it's unclear whether you put the car in S using the dial and then press dash button... or each is separate. And at the end he says the dash button gives the impression of best overall performance but then leaves you hanging by not give you stats. Overall I was left wondering. Plus he didn't get into traction control and sport mode.
You must not have payed any attention. First off he is in Km not mph because he lives in Canada so it was 0-100km which is 0-62mph in the US and the first run is in sport mode on the dial and the second run which is slower by .24 seconds is with the knob just in normal drive mode. Hope that helps clarify
So do I need to have transaction control off in sport mode? Please explain to me why or why not
@@Sexii_Az_Stud Leave traction control on and put it in sport mode. When you do that you will be in 4 wheel drive and with traction control the car will sense any tire slippage and adjust engine to backoff just a bit to regain traction. Without traction control on, if a tire slips you lose all traction. But by simply backing the engine rpm's down you regain traction and can actually go faster than otherwise without traction control. Sport mode is basically 4 wheel drive. And traction control keeps the wheel from sliding or slipping out of control. It may not seem like it, when the engine rpm drop in order to regain traction, but that is a better way of accelerating on wet pavement.
TRY TURNING OFF THE traction control and run it that way to see what numbers you get?
The traction cuts off when you press sport mode on
all things interesting no it don’t
I have a crossfire srt6 and I accidentally left traction control on out at Byron speedway. When I launched it, the tires slipped and the engine bogged to regain traction. Do you know I ran my fastest time ever. So in my book traction control feels like you are losing speed, but not in reality.
Yupppp.... you get that traction control sport on
I love it when people who *DONT* drive the car comment. Even when you turn traction control off, it’s still on. It’s a Bosch unit out of old Mercedes E Class, also known as the first traction control (1979).
To defeat TCS: do not apply break and press ignition once. Hold TCS button 10 seconds. Press break pedal and then ignition button to start car.
Very in depth review of sport mode for the 300s
So if I shift it to sport mode, I have to shift manually with the paddle shifters? But if I just use the button I don’t? And if I use both can I not shift it manually? I’m confused on how these work still.
Lol I was a little confused but you confused me more😅😅
ALSO, the gas mileage significantly changes. With the sport engaged on my 5.7…I had to fill-up more often with the same driving patterns.
Something that I'd love to know...why can't they have a switch for sport mode instead of a button. I'd prefer to switch it on and not have to worry about it each and every time I start the car.
Does the car have to be in parked in order to use sport mode or can you do it when the car is running or do I have to come to a stop.??...
you can switch the dial to sport mode while the car is in motion
You can switch to sport mode while driving.
I have 2019 300 S .. How can I get the V8 exhaust sound on a budget??
Mid muffler delete is a good start
I have the same car
What about the Chrysler 300c 2016? When you hit the traction control button it says "sport" on it what does that do?
Can you switch the gear to S while already driving on the highway?
Yes.
"Sport" mode it sounds to me like it has a better handling...the manual says use sport mode for a "more spirited" style of driving...so, let's see some drift or burnouts in sport mode to see how it handles.
i just played around with it yesterday on a new 300S w/V8.. does make a difference. my question though, how the heck do i get to performance control and performance page on my new 300S? is there a way to enable them myself, or have the dealership enable them? i was real used to having it on the R/T Challenger i just traded for it, it's really a bummer! any ideas or help really be appreciated! ☮
My first car for my 16th birthday about a couple months ago was this car I was super curious about the sports mode but I didn’t really feel a change in anything while being in the mode
Yea I have a 2019 and I don’t feel much of a difference either so I just bought a model 3 Tesla 🤷🏼♂️
I have a 2017... I can definitely feel the change when I use it.
Thanks for explaining the BUD-INS.
My 200c have the similar effect in sport mode.
I’ve noticed that on awd models the button sport mode will engage awd full time and the shifter sport mode won’t put it in awd
Mine does it with both I have a 2016
Do you have to use both the sport mode button AND switch gears to sport or just either one?
MY FREAKING MAIN QUESTION
Either or.
Either or/ or both
Thank you!
How do I turn manual drive off??
Great info. Thx
Where in ont are u located? The area looks familiar
Thanks for watching! I filmed this in East York I believe
So I bought a 2014 Chrysler 300 I see on the dashboard it has sport but on the shifter there is no S for sport how do I enable sport?
Same here bro I have a 2014 too and I also see it on my dash
my 300c 5.7 2005. is only in sport mode-5.9 to 60mph ( estate, awd.lpg)
Is there a difference between fuel consumption? Between sports mode on or off
Theoretically a very small amount but I would think in sport mode you are driving it harder so that’s where you would consume the gas 😅
i was told that on my 2014 AWD JVL 300C 5.7 that sport mode also puts and keeps the car in AWD .
So how's sport mode on the 5.7 or srt models? I have sport mode on my 2012 srt 300 and I don't notice anything at all.
Serious questions.. since my car is tuned,does this mean my sports mode is useless or does it mean it got stronger?
How to put auto start
So Does Sport Mode Do Anythin 🙄
Ima get the congruent year custom cryster 300 most powerful model
How do u turn the sport mode off either the knob?
Seriously love the channel!
Very informative I liked it
I got oto100 in 6.2 seconds
I'm confused if you slow down video playback it says 4s at 60 mph. So whats the problem?
sedrick phillips I thought I was the only person that noticed that.
@@shanacarmon4916 He's in Canada, they use kilometers per hour, not MPH....97 KPH = 60 MPH
What's the difference between THE 300s and the 300c
MOPAR ARTS R/T:::If you have a V6 300S it has 300 HP "tuned exhaust" compare to the V6 300C you have 292HP AND NO SPORT TUNED.
Now the V8 HAS 363 HP ON BOTH 300S AND REMEMBER the 300C PLATINUM HAS ALSO THE SPORT MODE on the shifter is to tuned the trans and the button on the dash is to tuned both steering and suspension but without the sporting look to it on the 300C.
If im not mistaken the 300S V8 5 speed from 2013-14 the whole car is in Sport mode already no switches....
Im sure that goes for the 2015-18 300S V8 with 7 or 8 speed trans but this i have to investigate to confirm it.
Jorge Carretero I have the 2014 300 s awd 5.7 so basically I have a sports mode but it’s no use in using it because it’s already in sports mode ?
T Weezy::::Since you have Hemi 5.7 its already tuned,Tighter streering,Heavy duty trans and dampings on your shocks and bigger sway bars front and back and i think better breaks its a $3000 option .
The V6 300s has the sport mode on the shifter if desire everything else is moderate tuned and we're talking about the 2014s 300s
T Weezy::::I remembered that the AWD feels softer because of the 19" wheels and you have more of a tire and its heavier because of the tranS and drive shaftS and axleS compare to the RWD it has 20"wheels with 245/45/20 tires has a firmer ride due to the semi low profile tires.
Do they still make awd hemis
It don’t do shit but fuck your automatic car up
What website did you use to buy your engine?
V6 considered Mopar or muscle car?
Put a 1966 Challenger up against my AWD 300S and we will see which car has more muscle. It may sound like a GTR, but it doesn’t move like one! Wait. It’s still faster than an OG muscle car.
Do you have to use paddles in sports mode?
No..it is up to you if you touch them then you can switch it to manual
My next car
i have the 2016 and I love it!!
@@MsKmw15 do you pay a lot of maintenance as rumors claims ?
And how much do you pay monthly in gas ,
Thank you 💖
You poor suckers. The Aussie SRT 6.4L is soooooo much better.
jaftism
What's even more hilarious is that the SRT 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat engine is *"better"* than the 6.4L, but it's not available down under so the joke is on you! *LMAO*
@@TheBjjones you sure about that? Seems we do... albeit in a jeep trackhawk.
TheBjjones you right this guy don’t know shit
What do the paddle shifters do exactly? Can I drive in sport mode all the time or will it ruin anything? Also I have been trying to find a video for these buttons that are by the driver door handle that say 1 and 2.. what do those mean? My car came without a manual so just watching videos which I think are easier anyways
Those buttons that say 1 and 2 are for the memory of the seating and telescopic steering adjustments.
@@humanoid7765 thanks so much for the reply! I'm gonna have to look these up I don't what it means 🤣 I have been wondering for a long time now I know
@@jessika2095 Yeah sure. All you have to do is push and hold the button you want to set your seat positioning to and you should hear a beep and a message on the information center should say "seat memory set" or something like that. So if someone changes your seat position you can just hit that button to set it back. Oh and paddle shifters are an easier and quicker way to shift manually and mostly used for racing.
@@humanoid7765 ya I looked up what you had said that is good to know. So when you use sport mode and you push the button to use it do I have to put the gear on "S" too?? Or I have to use them separate? Like either just use the sport button mode by itself or just put the gear on "S" by itself?
@@jessika2095 I think it is just 2 separate ways to activate the same mode but I'm not totally sure. I have a 300c and used the Z-automotive tazer in order to activate sport mode through the srt pages.
What happens if you click both of them at the same time and if you switch to S mode on the gear does that mean you have to drive in “manual mode” because when I shift to S it doesn’t say anything about my paddle shifters
If you switch the gear to “s” you should see the where the “d” for drive instead shows what gear you’re in
