Riders must be 3 years of age or older.
•
Always sit in the seat.

Always wear shoes.
•
Only one or two riders in the Dodge Viper.
If more children ride on the hood or the
trunk, they may fall off, block the driver’s view or cause the Dodge Viper to tip over.
Serious injury could occur! Also, the Dodge Viper may be overloaded, which could
damage the motor or gears (weight maximum of 130 lbs. [59 kg]).
•
Do not drive near full-sized, motorized vehicles.
It is dangerous to drive the Dodge
Viper on driveways, streets or alleys that are used by full-sized motorized vehicles.
The Dodge Viper is small and may be out of sight to the driver of a full-sized car.

DRIVE ONLY ON LEVEL GROUND!
The Dodge Viper will operate best on concrete or
other firm surfaces.

Never drive near water!
Do not drive toward a swimming pool, creeks or a pond!
Drowning could occur.
•
Do not drive down a steep slope.
The Dodge Viper may go too fast, causing it to tip
over or slip.
