This amber light should
come on while you are
starting your engine.
If the
light doesn’t come on, have
it repaired.
If the light
comes on while starting
your engine and stays on,
your engine oil level may be
too low. You may need to
add oil. See “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
Engine Oil Life Monitor
The amber CHANGE OIL
light comes on for a few
seconds when you turn the
ignition
on. It will come on
and stay on when it’s time
to change your oil.
The monitor uses oil temperature and engine revolutions
to decide when the oil is nearly worn out. The light is
only a reminder, though.
You should change your oil at
the intervals recommended in your Maintenance
Schedule, even if the
CHANGE OIL light hasn’t come
on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to reset the monitor when your oil is changed,

Service Ride Control Light
SERVICE
RIDE
CONTROL
If your vehicle is equipped
with Selective Ride Control,
this amber light should
come on for
a few seconds
when you start your vehicle.
If the light stays on or comes on while you’re driving,
there may be
a problem with your Selective Ride
Control system. You can still drive, but you should see
your dealer soon.
The Selective Ride Control system is designed to sense
vehicle speed in the first minute after the vehicle is
started. If the vehicle is not moved in that first minute,
the system records a fault. The SERVICE RIDE
CONTROL light comes on after three faults are
recorded. If the light comes on for this reason, move
your Corvette and the light should
go out.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The SERVICE RIDE CONTROL light may also come
on if the selective ride control knob is not placed fully
into a position. For example, if the selection position is
between
TOUR and SPORT or SPORT and PERF, the
light may come on. If the light comes on for this reason,
move the select switch to the desired position and the
light should go out.

The following procedures explain the proper operation
of your convertible top.

NOTICE:
Don’t leave your convertible out with the top
down for any long periods of time. The sun and
the rain can damage your seat material and other
things inside your vehicle.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake firmly
and shift an automatic transmission into
PARK (P).
Shift a manual transmission into
REVERSE (R).
Lower both windows and sunshades and turn the
ignition key
to LOCK.
NOTICE:
Before lowering the convertible top into the
storage area, be sure there are no objects in the
way of the folded, stored top. The weight
of a
stored top on items in the storage area may cause
the convertible top back glass to break.
