Dodge Stratus Service Maintenance Manual

Whether you’re wheeling over tight mountain roads or maneuvering through the city, Stratus Sedan can handle the challenge.

To make your driving more comfortable, Stratus Sedan includes power windows with driver’s one-touch down feature, power speed-sensitive door locks, a power sunroof available on SXT and R/T, and tinted glass with front and rear solar control glass.
