You will want to have the airbags ready for your protec-
tion in a collision. While the airbag Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) is designed to be maintenance free,
if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer
service the system immediately.

• The AIRBAG light does not come on or flickers during

the 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition switch is first
turned on.

• The light remains on or flickers after the 6 to 8 second

interval.

• The light flickers or comes on and remains on while

driving.

Transporting Pets
Deploying airbags could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet will be thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a
passenger during panic braking or in a collision.

Pets should be restrained in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The engine in your new Viper does not require a long
break-in period. Following these few simple guidelines is
all that is necessary for a good break-in:

For the first 500 miles (800 km):

• Keep your vehicle speed below the legal, posted speed

limit and your engine speed below 4,000 rpm.

• Avoid driving at a constant speed, either fast or slow,

for long periods of time.

• Do not make any full throttle starts and avoid full

throttle acceleration.

• Use the proper gear for your speed range.
