its not a typical chrysler, all the electronics and the way the car is built is more like a mercedes or other european auto manufacturers, i remember when the car was launched and they were teaching us about how things worked only when the car was on just like Mercedes', notice the seat adjusters or the horn doesn't work unless the key is turned. that in intentional, (why) i don't know but its set apart from other cars and I've explained that to many customers just to set this car apart from others...its all german engineering *shrug*.
