DODGE VIPER 2017 VX / 3.G Owners Manual

FUSES
WARNING!
•When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appro-
priate replacement fuse with the same amp rating as
the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another
fuse of higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material. Failure
to use proper fuses may result in serious personal
injury, fire and/or property damage.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is
off and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an autho-
rized dealer.
• If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air
bag system, braking system), power unit systems
(engine system, gearbox system) or steering system
blows, contact an authorized dealer.
Power Distribution Center
The Power Distribution Center is located in the engine
compartment on the driver’s side of the vehicle. This center
contains fuses and relays.

CAUTION!
•When installing the power distribution center cover,
it is important to ensure the cover is properly posi-
tioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow
water to get into the power distribution center and
possibly result in an electrical system failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use
only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The
use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may
result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a
problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
VEHICLE STORAGE
We recommend that you follow these guidelines for storing
your vehicle for extended periods.
• Fill the fuel tank. This will prevent water condensation
inside the tank. If you plan to store your vehicle more
than two months, add an anti-oxidant fuel stabilizer to
the fuel tank.
• Change the oil to remove any corrosive combustion
related acids in the crankcase. •
Check that the radiator coolant level of protection is to at
least -20°F (-29°C).
• Make sure that all tires are inflated to the optimum
pressure.
• Wash and wax the vehicle to protect the finish.
• Store the vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated location.
• Move the wiper blades away from the windshield.
• Block the wheels. Do not apply the parking brake.
• Cut blocks of plywood about the same size of the tires.
Cover each block with indoor/outdoor carpeting and
place them between the tires and concrete. This will
prevent tire flat spotting.
• For long-term storage, remove the tires and put the
vehicle up on blocks. Stack the tires on plywood and
cover with a tarp to prevent flat spotting.
• If the vehicle will be subjected to freezing temperatures,
either remove the battery and store it in a dry, well
ventilated area or connect a trickle charger (1.5 Amp)
with automatic shutdown / overcharge protection to the
battery. However, do not leave the trickle charger
hooked up to the battery without being plugged in to a
110 Volt AC outlet, as this will result in further drain on
294 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

the vehicle’s battery. If the vehicle is not going to be
driven in the next three weeks, perform the battery
recharge procedure in the Service Manual. Then, either
disconnect the battery at the negative terminal or use
“Hibernation Mode” to conserve battery power. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures/Hibernation Mode” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
• Cover the vehicle whenever possible to prevent acciden-
tal damage to the finish.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery causes the engine control
system to lose memory of some “learned” functions. After
reconnecting the battery, the engine may run rough until
the control module “relearns” these functions. Using the
Battery Save Feature will prevent the engine controller
from loosing its memory.
CAUTION!
Use care when disconnecting the remote positive cable.
It is connected to the battery and can short out to any
metal on the vehicle. Always tape or wrap the exposed
cable end to prevent electrical shorts.
Check the battery every four to six weeks to ensure that the
voltage is above 12.10 Volts. The voltage will drop more rapidly in hot temperatures. If battery voltage drops below
12.10 Volts, follow the battery recharge procedure in the
Service Manual.
NOTE:
To help prevent the battery from discharging dur-
ing shorter periods of inactivity, perform the following:
1. Make sure that the liftgate, hood, doors, windows are completely closed.
2. Make sure that the key fob is operating and that the battery is good.
3. Make sure that the HOOD, LIFTGATE, and DOOR switches are in adjustment. Perform the quick system
check, which follows:
Use the key fob to set the alarm. If the alarm SET light
comes on and flashes, the system is operating properly. If
not, there is a problem with a switch or the system. See
your authorized dealer for service.
If you plan to store the vehicle longer than 30 days, we
recommend using Hibernation Mode to conserve battery
power. Refer to “Hibernation Mode” in Maintenance
Procedures for further information.

conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric condi-
tions change to allow the condensation to change back into
a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate the
