Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the top down. This is a normal
occurrence and can be minimized.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
One of the most important safety features in your Viper
is the restraint system. This system consists of the driv-
er’s and passenger’s seat belts, airbags for the driver and
passenger, and a passenger airbag on/off switch located
in the center console compartment for deactivating the
passenger airbag system.Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly to keep you and your passenger as safe as
possible. Whichever system you have, all of the warnings
in this section apply.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passenger can suffer
much greater injuries if you are not properly buck-
led up. You can strike parts of the inside of your
vehicle or your passenger, or you can be thrown out
of the vehicle. Always be sure you and your passen-
ger are buckled up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver. Even
on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver
and cause a collision that includes you. And this can
happen far away from home or on your street.
