DriverSideShown, Passenger SideSimilar

The driver and front outboard passenger seat-mounted side impact air bags are in the side of the seat back closest to the door.

WARNING

If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or might for the object into that person causing severe injury over death. The path of an inflating air bag must be kept clear. Donot put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and donot attach or put anything on the steering wheel huboron near any other airbag covering.

WhenShouldanAirbag Inflate?

Frontalairbagsaredesignedto inflateinmoderatetoseverefrontal ornearfrontalcrashestohelp reducethepotentialforsevere

injuriesmainlytothedriver'sorfront outboardpassenger'sheadand chest. However, they are only designed to inflate if the impact exceeds apredetermined deployment threshold. Deployment thresholds are used to predict how severe acrash is likely to be in time for the airbag to inflate and help restrain the occupants.

Whether the frontal air bags willor should deploy is not based primarily on how fast the vehicle is traveling. It depends on what is it, the direction of the impact, and how quickly the vehicles slows down.

Frontalairbagsmayinflateat differentcrashspeedsdependingon whetherthevehiclehitsanobject straightonoratanangle,and whethertheobjectisfixedor moving,rigidordeformable,narrow orwide.

Thresholdscanalsovarywith specificvehicledesign.

Frontalairbagsarenotintendedto inflateduringvehiclerollovers, rear impacts, orinmanysideimpacts.

Inaddition, the vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags. Dual-stage airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity. The vehicle has electronic frontal sensors, which help the sensing system distinguish between a moderate frontal impact and more severe frontal impact. Form moderate frontal impacts, dual-stage airbags inflate at level less than full deployment. Form more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.

Dependingonthemodel, the vehicle may have one ortwoseat positionsensors. These at position sensor(s) enable the sensing system to monitor the position of the driver seat (all models) and the front outboard passenger seat (all models). Seat positionsensor(s) provide information that is used in determining whether the airbags should inflate a reduced or full level.

The vehicle has seat-mounted side impact airbags. See Airbag System on page 3-14. Seat-mounted side impact air bags are intended to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes, depending on the location of the impact. Seat-mounted side impact air bags will inflate if the crash severity is above the system's designed threshold level. The threshold level can vary with specific vehicle design.

Seat-mountedsideimpactairbags are not intended to inflate in frontal impacts, near-frontal impacts, rollovers, or rear impacts.

Aseat-mountedsideimpactairbag isintendedtoinflateonthesideof thevehiclethatisstruck.

Inanyparticularcrash, noonecan saywhetheranairbagshouldhave inflatedsimplybecauseofthe vehicledamageorrepaircosts.

Maintenance

PassengerCompartment AirFilter

The passenger compartment air filter removes certain particles from the air including pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more often in dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to be replaced. See Maintenance Schedule on page 11-3.

Notice: Driving without a passenger compartment air filter in place can cause water and small particles, like paper and leaves, to be pulled into your climate control system which may caused damage to it. Makes sure you always replace the old filter with anewone.

This system continuously adjusts the effort felt when steering at all vehicles speeds. It provides ease when parking, yet a firm, solid feel athighways speeds.

VariableEffortSteering

Some vehicles have aesteering system that variesthe amount of effort required to steer the vehicle in relation to the speed of the vehicle.

Theamountofsteeringeffort requiredislessatslowerspeedsto makethevehiclemore maneuverableandeasiertopark.At fasterspeeds,thesteeringeffort increasestoprovideasport-likefeel tothesteering.thisprovides maximumcontrolandstability.

If the vehicle seem shardert to steer thannormal when parking or driving slowly, ther may be a problem with the system. The vehicle will still have power steering, but steering will bestiffer than normal at slow speeds. See your dealer for service.

Z06withZ07andZR1 PerformancePackageBrake BurnishProcedure

Notice: These procedures are specific to the Z06 and ZR1 Performance Packagewith ceramic braker rotors. These procedures should not be run on other Corvettemodels as damage may result.

Notice: Thenewvehiclebreak-in period should be completed before performing the brake burnish procedure or damage may occur to the powertrain/ engine. See New Vehicle Break-In on page 9-17.

When performed as instructed, these procedures will not damage the brakes. During the burnishing procedure, the brake pad will smoke and produce an odor. The braking force and pedal travel may increase. After the procedure is complete, the brake pad may appear white at therotor contact.

VehicleLoadLimits

It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and include the weight of all occupants, cargo and all nonfactory - installed options. Twolabelson your vehicles show how much weight it may properly carry, the Tire and Loading Information label and the Certification label.

WARNING

Donotloadthevehicleany heavierthantheGross VehicleWeightRating (GVWR), oreitherthe maximumfrontorrearGross AxleWeightRating(GAWR). Thiscancausesystemsto breakandchangethewaythe vehiclehandles. Thiscould causelossofcontrolanda crash. Overloadingcanalso shortenthelifeofthevehicle.

Avehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar) of your vehicle. With the driver door open, you will find the label attached below the door latch. This label shows the number of occupant seating positions (A), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the sizeofthe originalequipment tires (C) and there recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). Formore information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 10-52 and Tire Pressure on page 10-60.

StepsforDeterminingCorrect LoadLimit

1. Locatethestatement"The combinedweight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXXkgor XXXlbs" on your vehicle's placard.
2. Determinethecombined weightofthedriverand passengersthatwillberiding inyourvehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgor XXXlbs.
4. Theresultingfigureequals theavailableamountofcargo andluggageloadcapacity. Forexample,ifthe "XXX" amountequals1400lbsand therewillbefive150lb passengersinyourvehicle, theamountofavailablecargo

andluggageloadcapacityis 650lbs(1400-750(5x150) =650lbs).

1. Determinethecombined weightofluggageandcargo beingloadedonthevehicle. Thatweightmaynotsafely exceedtheavailablecargo andluggageloadcapacity calculatedinStep4.

2. If your vehicle will betowing a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

After you have moved the shift lever into P (Park), hold down there regular brake pedal. See if you can moveth shift lever away from P (Park) without first pushing the button on the lever. If you can, it mean that the shift lever was not fully locked into P (Park).

TorqueLock(Automatic Transmission)

If you are parking on a hill and you donot shift the transmission into P (Park) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put to much force on the parking paw in the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the shift lever out of P (Park). This is called "torquelock." Top prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and thenshift into P (Park) properly before you leave

TheManualPaddleShiftsystemis activatedfromS(SportMode)by pushingthepaddle,above the steeringwheelspokes,toup-shiftto thenextgear,orpullingonthe paddle,behindthesteeringwheel spokes,todown-shifttothe nextgear.

When accelerating the vehicle from astopinsnowy and icy conditions, you may want to shift to 2 (Second) or 3 (Third) gear. Higher gear allows outogain more traction on slippery surfaces. If traction control is active, upshifts are delayed to increase your control of the vehicle. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 9-34 Traction Control System (TCS).

The ManualPaddleShiftsystem can be deactivated by moving the shift lever from S(SportMode) back to D(Drive), or by holding either up-shift paddle form more than one second.

The driver may choose briefly activate the Manual Paddle Shift system while in D(Drive). Tapping either the up shift downward shift control will place the transmission in Manual Paddle Shift mode. The driver may then exit Manual Paddle Shift mode by holding either up shift control form more than one second. The system will return to automatic shifting after 10 seconds of cruising

atasteadyspeedandnomanual shifts,orwhenthevehiclecomesto astop.

While the Manual Paddle Shift gear selection system is active, the transmission will automatically down shift through the gears as the vehicle slows. The transmission will select 2 (Second) gear as the vehicle stops. From a stop, the vehicle will start from and hold 2 (Second) gear unless the driver manually paddles shifts into a different gear or selects D (Drive). The driver can select 1 (First) gear from maximum acceleration from a stop.

When using the Manual Paddle Shift feature while in S (Sport Mode), the current gear will be displayed in

theDriverInformation(DIC),orthe Head-UpDisplay(HUD),ifthe vehiclehaseitherofthesefeatures.

Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear ordamagetobrakesystem parts. Makes sure that the parking brake is fully released and the brakewarning light is off before driving.

BrakeAssist

This vehicle has a brake assist feature designed to assist the driver instopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the stability system hydraulic brake control module to supplement the power brakes system under conditions where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the brake pedal in an attempt to quickly stoporslow down the vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake control module increases brake pressure at each corner of the vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedal pulsation or pedal movement during this time is normal and the drivers should continueto apply the brake pedal as the drivingsituation dictates. The brake assist feature will automatically disengag when the brake pedal is released or brake pedal pressure is quickly decreased.

See "Selecting the Right Engine Oil" for an explanation of what kind of oil touse. Forengine oil crank case capacity, see Capacities and Specifications on page 12-2.

SeeRacingorOtherCompetitive Drivingonpage9-6foradditional informationonengineoil.

Notice: Donotaddtoomuchoil. Oil levels above or below the acceptable operating range shown on the dipstick are harmful to the engine. If you find that you have an oil level above the operating range, i.e., the engine hassomuchoil that the oil level gets above the cross-hatched are that show the proper operating range, the engine could be damaged. You should drain out the excess oil limit driving of the vehicle and seek as service professional to remove the excess amount of oil.

ChangingEngineOilandFilter (Z06,ZR1,manual transmissionGrandSport Coupe,and427Convertible)

These vehicles have a racetrack-ready drysumpengine lubricationsystem. This high-performancesystem operates differently than anastandardengine lubricationsystem and requires a special procedure when changing the engine oil and filter. Follow this procedure closely when changing the engine oil and filter.

TirePressure

Tiresneed the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.

Notice: Neithertire underinflation nor overinflation is good. Underinflated tires, ortires that donothaveenoughair, can result in:

• Tireoverloading and overheating which could lead to ablowout.
  • Prematureor irregularwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Reducedfueleconomy.

Overinflatedtires, ortiresthat havetoomuchair, can resultin:

• Unusualwear.

• Poorhandling.

• Roughride.

• Needlessdamagefrom roadhazards.

The Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicate the originalequipment tires and the correct cold tire inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum loadcarrying capacity.

For additional information regarding how much weight the vehicle can carry, and an example of the Tire and Loading Information label, see Vehicle Load Limit on page 9-12. How the vehicle is loaded affects vehicle handling and ride comfort. Never load the vehicle with more weight than it was designed to carry.

WhentoCheck

Checkthetiresonceamonth ormore.

HowtoCheck

Useagoodqualitypocket-type gaugetocheckthetire pressure. Propertireinflation cannotbedeterminedbylooking atthetire. Checkthetire inflationpressurewhenthetires arecold, meaningthevehicle hasnotbeendrivenforatleast threehoursornomorethan 1.6km(1mi).

Removethevalvecapfromthe tirevalvestem.Pressthetire gaugefirmlyontothevalveto getthepressuremeasurement.

If the cold tire inflation pressure match est here recommended pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label, no further adjustment is necessary.

If the inflation pressure is slow, addair until there recommended pressure is reached. If the inflation pressure in high, press on themetal stem in the center of the trevalvetorelease air. Re-check the tire pressure with the tire gauge.

Return the valve capson the valvestemstokeepoutdirt and moisture and prevent leaks.

TirePressurefor High-SpeedOperation

WARNING

Drivingathighspeeds, 160km/h (100mph) or higher, puts an additional strainontires. Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat buildup and can cause sudden tire failure. You could have acrash and you others could be killed. Some high-speed rated tires require inflation pressure adjustment for high-speed operation. When speed limits and road conditions are such that vehicle can be driven at high speeds, makes sure the tires aerated for high-speed operation, in excellent condition, and set to the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the vehicle load.

Thetiresrequireinflationpressure adjustmentwhendrivingthevehicle atspeedsof282km/h(175mph)or higher,whereitislegal.Setthecold inflationpressuretothemaximum inflationpressureshownonthetire sidewall,or265kPa(38psi), whicheverislower.Seethe examplefollowing.Returnthetires totherecommendedcoldtire inflationpressurewhenhigh-speed drivinghasended.SeeVehicle LoadLimitsonpage9-12.

TirePressureMonitor System

The TirePressureMonitorSystem (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and transmittire pressurereading stoa receiver located in the vehicle.

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placardortireinflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of different sizing can thenesize indicated on the vehicle placardor tireinflation pressure label, you should determinethe propertire inflation pressure forthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when none or more of your tires is significantly under inflated.

Accordingly, whenthelowtire pressuretelltaleilluminates, you shouldstopandcheckyourtiresas soonaspossible, andinflatethem totheproperpressure. Drivingona significantlyunder-inflatedtire causesthetiretooverheatandcan leadtotirefailure.

TirePressureMonitor Operation

This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when alow tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted on to each tire and wheel assembly on your vehicle. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmits the tire pressurereading stoa receiver located in the vehicle.

When alow tire pressure condition is detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tire pressure warning light, located in the instrument cluster. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tire to there recommended pressure

shownonthetireloading informationlabel.SeeVehicleLoad Limitsonpage9-12.

UniformTireQuality Grading

Qualitygradescanbefound whereapplicableonthetire sidewallbetweentreadshoulder andmaximumsectionwidth. For example:

Treadwear200TractionAA TemperatureA

The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which gradestires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicle less sold in the United States. The grades are molded on the sidewall of most passenger cartires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system does not apply to depthread, wintertires, compact sparetires, tires with

nominalrimdiameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), ortosomelimited-production tires.

While the tires available on General Motors passengers cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to federal safety requirements and additional General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.

All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety Requirements In Addition To These Grades.

Therelative performanceoftiresdepends upontheactualconditionsof theiruse,however,andmay departsignificantlyfromthe normduetovariationsindriving habits,servicepracticesand differencesinroad characteristicsandclimate.

Traction-AA,A,B,C

Thetractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's sability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled condition on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Atiremarked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this is based on

straight-aheadbrakingtraction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peaktraction characteristics.

Temperature-A,B,C

ThetemperaturegradesareA (thehighest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condition as specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained hightemperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessiv temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passengercartires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band Are present higher level sof
