How to use your
Plymouth Prowler

Step on the brake, press the engine start button on the console or steering column; wait for the cluster to confirm ready before shifting out of P.

Console-mounted shifter with R-N-D-S notches; paddles behind the wheel for manual gear control. If you ordered the manual, the gate is dog-leg first-down on most performance variants — read the shift-knob diagram before you pull away cold.

If equipped, the car has at most a single 'Sport' button that firms the dampers and quickens throttle response — there is no scrollable mode menu, no Individual setup, and no software-defined dynamics.

Analog tach and speedo with a small digital LCD strip for trip, odometer, and warning messages. No fully reconfigurable digital cluster and no head-up display on most trims.

Factory audio is CD-based, sometimes with an optional in-dash navigation screen (DVD-ROM map disc). No CarPlay, no Android Auto, no app integration — Bluetooth phone pairing only appeared on the very last cars of this era.

Driver assistance is limited to the basics — ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control on most trims, with optional radar cruise control on late-era luxury cars. There is no lane-keep assist, no automatic emergency braking, no blind-spot monitoring, and no surround-view camera; drive with the same situational awareness you'd use in any analog performance car.

Premium unleaded (91 or 93 octane) is required on Plymouth performance models — the engine timing is set for it and lower octane causes audible knock and reduced power. Fuel-cap release is a button on the driver door panel; the cap is capless (just push the nozzle in).

Smart-key fob with remote lock/unlock and rolling-code immobilizer. No phone-as-key, no shareable digital credentials, no remote app start.

A few things every new owner tells us they wish they'd known on day one:

• Download the brand app (Manufacturer app) and pair it with your VIN before your first long trip — remote climate, charging/fuel-level checks, and remote lock-status save you walking back to the garage in winter.
