Daytime Running Lights (Canada)
The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DE) are a useful feature, in that DIU
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DIU are required on new
vehicles sold
in Canada.
Your
DRL, work with a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Don’t cover it up.
The front turn signal lights will come on
in daylight when:
0 The ignition is on
0 The headlight switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
At dusk, the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the front turn signal
lights will go out. At dawn, the exterior
lights will go out and the front turn signal
lights will come on (if the headlight
switch is
off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time
you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set
the parking brake while the ignition is
in
the “Off” or “LOCK” position. Then start
the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off until
you release the parking brake.

Warning Lights, Gauges
and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gauges that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention
to your warning lights and gauges could
also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be
or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions.
As you will see in the details
on the
next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gauges can indicate when there may be
or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to
let you know
when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
... 82
When one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on when you are driving, or
when one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that tells
you what to do about
it. Please follow the
manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs
can be costly
- and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights
and gauges. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle also has a driver information
center that works along with the warning
lights and gauges. See “Driver Information Center’’
in the Index.
System Problems
If “SYS” flashes on the display near your
fuel gauge, there may be a problem with
your Corvette’s electrical system. If the
“SECURITY” light flashes at the same
time, there is a problem with your theft
deterrent system. Have your vehicle
checked by your dealer
if “SYS’ keeps
appearing.
Gauge Markings
The analog gauges provide a quick visual
reference to the actual measurement of
these gauges. However, you must keep in mind that the gauges aren’t linear. This means that the middle mark is not
a
temperature halfway between the top and
bottom temperatures on the gauge. For
example, the middle mark on the coolant
gauge represents 210°F,
not 180°F as you
might expect.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For your convenience, the following table
gives the reading for each mark.
For numeric gauge measurements, refer to
the digital readings by pressing
“GAUGES” on the Trip Monitor.

Fuel Gauge
Your fuel gauge shows about how much
fuel is in your tank. The bars light up
when the ignition is on or, if the ignition
is
off, when you turn on your parking
lights.
When the display
is down to the last two
bars,
“RESERVE” will appear next to the
gauge.
Here are three concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gauge. All these
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong with the fuel
gauge.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts
off before the gauge reads
“F.”

if refrigerant
is added, until the

If other cars are lined up to pass a
slow vehicle, wait your turn. But take
care that someone isn’t trying to pass
you as you pull out to pass the slow
vehicle. Remember to glance over
your shoulder and check the blind
spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving out of
the right lane to pass. When you are
far enough ahead
of the passed vehicle
to see its front
in your inside mirror,
activate your right lane change signal
and move back into the right lane.
(Remember that your right outside
mirror is convex. The vehicle you just
passed may seem to be farther away
from you than it really is.)
Try not to pass more than one vehicle
at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving
vehicle too rapidly. Even though the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be
slowing down or starting
to turn.
If you’re being passed, make it easy
for the following driver to get ahead
of you. Perhaps you can ease a little
to the right.

Loss of Control
Let’s review what driving experts say
about what happens when the three
control systems (brakes, steering and
acceleration) don’t have enough friction
where the tires meet the road to do what
the driver has asked.
In any emergency, don’t give up. Keep
trying to steer and constantly seek an
escape route or area of less danger.
Skidding
In a skid, a driver can lose control of the
vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most
skids by taking reasonable care suited to
existing conditions, and by not
“overdriving” those conditions. But skids
are always possible.
The three types of skids correspond to
your Corvette’s three control systems.
In the braking skid your wheels aren’t
rolling. In the steering or cornering skid,
too much speed or steering in a curve
causes tires to slip and lose cornering
force. And in the acceleration skid too
much throttle causes the driving wheels
to spin.
A cornering skid
is best handled by
easing your foot
off the accelerator pedal. Remember: Any
ASR system helps avoid
only the acceleration skid. If your ASR
system is
off, then an acceleration skid is
also best handled by easing your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your
foot
off the accelerator pedal and quickly
steer the way you want the vehicle to go.
If you start steering quickly enough, your
vehicle may straighten out. Always be
ready for a second skid if it occurs.
Of course, traction is reduced when water,
snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on
the road. For safety, you’ll want to slow
down and adjust your driving to these
conditions. It is important to slow down
on slippery surfaces because stopping
distance will be longer and vehicle
control more limited.
