Page 6 111844_09a_Corvette_GTK_052108.qxp:Corvette 2007 A 5/21/08 10:12 AM 7 PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE Mobil 1® Motor Oil Your Corvette comes factory-filled with Mobil 1® synthetic oil. Corvette’s computer system monitors the life of the oil to inform you when it needs to be changed. To view the remaining oil life, press the TRIP button repeatedly until OIL LIFE appears in the DIC display. The oil life monitor is programmed to correspond to the attributes of Mobil 1 synthetic oil. If you use any motor oil other than Mobil 1 or equivalent synthetic oil, the oil life monitoring system will not be accurate. Whenever your oil is changed, press and hold the RESET button while OIL LIFE is displayed in the DIC display to reset the oil life monitor. The system will reset to 100% and calculate when the next oil change is required. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual. Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) The Corvette is equipped with Run-Flat Goodyear Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) or Michelin ZP tires that eliminate the need for a spare. The tire design enables safe function during and after loss of pressure for some distance at a moderate speed. The shorter the distance that you drive with loss of pressure, the better the chance that the tire can be repaired. As soon as possible, contact Roadside Assistance for the nearest authorized GM or run-flat tire servicing facility and have the tire inspected. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual. Tire Pressure Monitor (if equipped) The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when a significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illuminating the (low tire pressure) warning light on the instrument panel cluster. The low tire pressure warning light will remain on until you correct the tire pressure. A message may also appear on the DIC. Correcting the Tire Pressure When the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, you must fill the tire to the proper tire inflation pressure (just as you must refuel the vehicle when the low fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire and Loading Information label shows the correct inflation pressure for the tires when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than one mile. You can temporarily remove the DIC message by acknowledging it with your DIC controls. However, at the next vehicle start-up, the DIC message will reappear if the tire pressure has not been corrected. During cooler conditions, the low tire pressure warning light may appear when the vehicle is first started and then turn off as you start to drive the vehicle. This could be an early indicator that your tire pressures are getting low and need to be inflated to the proper pressure. Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t replace normal monthly tire maintenance. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual. Page 7 111844_09a_Corvette_GTK_052108.qxp:Corvette 2007 A 8 5/21/08 10:12 AM Getting to Know Your Corvette Selective Ride Control (if equipped) The Selective Ride Control system provides reduced impact harshness, improved road isolation, improved high-speed stability and handling response, and better control of body ride motions. To select the desired suspension setting at any time, use the control knob located on the center console. Tour: Use for normal city and highway driving. This setting provides a smooth, comfortable ride. Sport: Use where road conditions or personal preference demand more control. This setting provides more “feel,” or response, to the road conditions. See Section 4 of your Owner Manual. Active Handling and Traction Control Systems The Active Handling and Traction Control Systems help you maintain directional control during most driving conditions and limit wheelspin. When the system is working, the ACTIVE HANDLING message is displayed in the DIC.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual. 1st–4th Shift Feature (Manual Transmission) The 1st–4th Shift feature helps you get the best possible fuel economy. A 1st–4th shift light will come on when the following conditions are met: • Engine coolant temperature is higher than 169°F (76°C), • You are going 15 to 19 mph (24 to 31 km/h), and • You are at 21 percent throttle or less. When the 1st–4th shift light comes on, you can only shift from First (1) to Fourth (4) instead of First (1) to Second (2). You must complete the shift into Fourth (4) to turn off this feature. After shifting to Fourth (4), you may downshift to a lower gear if you prefer. Note: Forcing the shift lever into any gear except Fourth (4) when the 1st–4th shift light comes on may damage the transmission. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

It may also be started in Third (3) gear if necessary, such as when starting on slippery roads. Commanding the vehicle to start up in Fourth (4) gear or higher will be denied. As vehicle speed increases, the transmission will stay in the current gear until the paddle is pushed to upshift. If the upshift is not commanded by pushing a paddle, the vehicle speed will be limited in order to protect the engine. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual. Premium Fuel Sport Mode (S) Place the shift lever in the Sport (S) mode to shift gears using the paddle shifters. Push either paddle to upshift to the next higher gear. Squeeze either paddle behind the steering wheel spokes to downshift to the next lower gear.

Some automatic car washes will cause damage to your vehicle, wheels, or convertible top, if equipped. If you drive your vehicle through an automatic car wash that does not have enough clearance for the undercarriage and/or wide rear tires, you could damage your vehicle. Verify with the manager of the car wash that your vehicle will fit before entering the car wash. To avoid possible damage, use touchless automatic car washes. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual. Z06 and ZR1 Features Checking Engine Oil Z06 and ZR1 models are equipped with a high performance dry sump engine lubrication system. This system operates differently than a standard engine lubrication system. You should check your oil level only after the engine has been thoroughly warmed up and then shut off for at least five minutes. This ensures that the oil level reading obtained will be accurate. Note: Do not read the oil level after extended periods of vehicle inactivity, as the level indicated will not be accurate and may falsely indicate a low level condition. Any oil added due to this method of reading may cause the engine to be over-filled and can lead to engine damage. Z06 and ZR1 models also require a special procedure for changing the engine oil and filter; refer to your Owner Manual. Jump Starting the Battery The battery of your Z06 and ZR1 is located in the rear of the vehicle. You do not need access to the battery for jump starting. There are remote positive (+) and negative (–) terminals located under the hood for this purpose. Refer to your Owner Manual for the locations of the terminals. Note: Improper jump starting could result in costly damage to your vehicle that would not be covered by your warranty. Be sure to follow all of the steps in your Owner Manual to safely and properly jump start your vehicle. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
