CAUTION!
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.
FUSES — Power Distribution Center
A power distribution center is located in the engine

CAUTION!
•When installing the Power Distribution Center
cover, it is important to ensure the cover is prop-
erly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the Power Distribu-
tion Center, and possibly result in a 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 contin-
ues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit
that must be corrected.

We recommend that you follow these guidelines before
storing your vehicle for extended periods.
•Fill the fuel tank. This will prevent water condensation
inside the gas tank.
If you plan on storing your vehicle more than 2
months, add an anti-oxidant fuel stabilizer to the fuel
tank.
•Change the oil to remove any corrosive combustion
related acids in the crankcase.
•Wash and wax the vehicle to protect the finish.
•Cover the vehicle whenever possible to prevent acci-
dental damage to the finish.
•Store the vehicle in a dry, well ventilated location.
