The
following safety and security technologies are featured on
the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10:
-
Adjustable
Pedals: Allow brake and accelerator pedals to
move toward or away from the driver to help driver
achieve a safe and comfortable seating position for
improved control
-
Advanced
Multistage Front Air Bags with Occupant Classification
System (OCS): Inflates with a force appropriate
to the severity of the impact. The OCS measures the
conditions for activation or deactivation of the
passenger side front air bag based upon the weight of
the occupant
-
Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS): Senses and prevents wheel
lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme
braking or slippery conditions
-
BeltAlert:
Periodically activates a chime and illuminates an icon
in the instrument cluster to remind the driver and front
passenger to buckle up if a vehicle is driven without
the driver being properly belted
-
Center
High-mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL): The
shelf-mounted center high mounted stop lamp uses light
emitting diodes (LEDs) for longer life
-
Constant Force
Retractors (CFR): Distribute force or load
exerted on a seat belt, and then gradually release the
seat belt webbing in a controlled manner
-
Crumple Zones:
Designed to compress during an accident to absorb
energy, decreasing transfer of that energy to the
occupants
-
Energy-absorbing Steering Column: The
manual-adjust steering column uses two hydroformed
coaxial tubes that can move relative to each other to
allow the column to move forward for enhanced energy
absorption during a crash. The power-adjust steering
column employs a calibrated bending element that deforms
during column stroke for optimal energy management
-
Interior
Head-impact Protection: Interior pillars above
the beltline and instrument panel – including areas
around windshield and rear window headers, roof and side
rail structures, and shoulder-belt turning loops –
specifically designed to limit head-impact force
-
Knee Bolsters:
The lower instrument panel and the glove-box door are
designed to properly position the occupant, enabling the
air bags to work effectively
-
Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE): System enhances personal security
by locking and unlocking doors and turning on interior
lamps. The system also arms and disarms the Vehicle
Theft Security Alarm
-
Three-point
Seat Belts with Pretensioners: Three-point lap
and shoulder belt retractors incorporate a pretensioning
feature to enhance occupant protection in an impact by
managing occupant energy
-
Tire-pressure
Monitoring (TPM): Pressure-sensor modules
within the valve stems of all four wheels send
continuous radio-frequency signals to a receiver, and
the system informs occupants when the pressure is too
low.
