MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 197 The frame of your Viper is galvanized for rust-through protection. It is also dipped in a black E-Coat to protect the welded areas. Avoid any scratches through to bare metal. Commercial Car Washes We do not recommend that you take your Viper through a commercial car wash. In the event that you do take your Viper to a commercial car wash, move the Heater/Air Conditioning blower control to the lowest setting. This will prevent the possibility of water entering the system. FUSES - Power Distribution Center A power distribution center is located in the engine compartment. This center contains fuses and relays. CAUTION! • When installing the Power Distribution Center cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the Power Distribution 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 continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected. 7 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.
