Two labels on your vehicle show how
much weight
it may properly carry. The
Tire-Loading Information label found
on
the rear edge of the driver's door
tells
you the proper size, speed rating
and recommended inflation pressures
€or the tires
on your vehicle. It also
gives you impartant information about
the number
of people that can be in
your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the
Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes
the weight of all occupants, cargo, and
all nonfactory-installed options. The other
label is the Certification label,
also on the rear
edge of the driver's
door. It
tells you the gross weight
capacity of
your vehicle, called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).
The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
Never exceed the GVWR
for your
vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or
rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you
should spread it out. Don't carry more
than
100 lbs. (45 kg) in the rear area of
your Corvette.

CAUTION
Inflation-Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label
! which is on the rear edge of the driver’s
door
shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re
cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has
been sitting for at least three hours or
driven no more than a mile.
If you have to check tires when they’re
not cold,
add 4 psi (28 kPa) to the
numbers on the sticker.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When to Check:
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It
should be at 60 psi (420 1tPa).
How to Check:
Use the tire pressure gage provided in
your center storage console to check
tire pressure. Simply looking
at the tires
will not tell you the pressure, especially
if you have radial tires-which may look
properly inflated even if they’re
underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back
on. They help prevent
leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Rotation
The tires on your Corvette are
directional, asymmetrical, and are
different sizes
front tu rear. Due to this,
your tires should not be rotated. Each
tire
and wheel should be used only in
theqosition it
is in.

Introduction
A Word About Maintenance
We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in
good working condition. But we don’t know exactly how
you’ll drive it. You may drive very short distances only a few
times a week. Or you may drive long distances all the time
in very hot, dusty weather.
You may use your vehicle in
making deliveries. Or you may .drive it to work, to do
errands or in many other ways.
Because
of all the different ways people use their GM
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even need more
frequent che~ks and replacements than you will find in the
schedules
in this part. So please read this part and note how
you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your
vehicle
in good condition, see your Chevrolet dealer, the
place many GM owners choose to have their maintenance
work done. Your dealer cq be relied upon to use proper
parts and practices.
Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your
vehicle in good woxking condition, but
also helps the
environment.
All recommended maintenance procedures are
important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the removal
of
important components can significantly affect the quality of
the air we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even the wrong
tire inflation can increase the level
of emissions from your
vehicIe.
To help protect our environment, and to help keep
your vehicle in good condition, please maintain your vehicle.
properly.
