DODGE VIPER 2013 VX / 3.G Owners Manual

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly andinflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for
more information regarding tire warnings
and instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collisi\
on and personal injury.
Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme cauti\
on when using
any device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of\
any electrical
devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigat\
ion or other
devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could\
lead to a serious
collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while th\
e
vehicle is moving. i f you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle
operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. S\
ome States or
p

rovinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while drivin\
g. i t is always the
driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws. This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important features of your vehicle.
The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability
can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal \
minimum. If you
are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver\
, call a cab, a
friend, or use public transportation.
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your
reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never
drink and then drive.
