Dodge 2009 Viper - Manual (Page 67)

CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural
protection that a reinforced metal roof does, and the
fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection
of the occupants of a vehicle in a collision. Therefore,
it is important that all occupants wear their seat belts
at all times when riding in a convertible. Studies
have shown that during a collision it is generally
safer to remain inside a vehicle than to be ejected
from the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• To insure that no damage occurs, be sure that the
vehicle is at a complete stop with the shift lever in
the NEUTRAL position before lowering or raising
the top.
• Do not operate the convertible top with ice or
snow build up on the top. Damage to the top may
occur.
To Lower the Top
1. Lower the window in each door at least 1 in (2.5 cm).
2. Lower both sun visors.
