Dodge 2005 Viper Automobile User Manual


 
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.
Wait until the engine has reached normal operating
temperature before driving at the recommended maxi-
mum break-in speed.
Avoid excessive idling.
Check the engine oil level at every fuel fill.
NOTE: A new engine will consume some oil during the
first few thousand miles of operation. This should be
considered as a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as a sign of difficulty.
