118 STARTING AND OPERATING

GROUND CLEARANCE
The Viper is a low vehicle and ground clearance is
limited.
CAUTION!
Damage to the front and rear fascias and side sills
can occur if you disregard the low ground clearance
of your Viper. Pay close attention when parking to
avoid running into parking curbs. Exercise caution
when entering or exiting steep driveways or when
pulling off the road onto soft shoulders.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your vehicle is designed to meet all emis-
sion regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy when using high quality pre-
mium unleaded gasoline having an octane
rating of 91 or higher.
Spark Knock
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to
your engine. However, continued heavy spark knock at
high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is
required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard
starting, stalling and hesitations. If you experience these
symptoms, try another brand of “premium” gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.

The tires on your Viper are wider than the guide
tracks on most washes and the low ground clearance
of your vehicle may not be compatible with some car
wash equipment. You could damage your vehicle.
