1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE instrument panel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Delayed Accessory Bus (DAB)
With DAB your power windows and the audio system
will continue to work up to 15 minutes after the ignition
key
is turned to OFF and neither door is opened. If a
door is opened, the audio system and power windows
will shut
off.
Starting Your Engine
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle
Identification Number
(VIN) shows the code letter or
number for your engine. You will find the
VIN at the
top left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper
steps to
start the engine.
Automatic transmission:
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
-- that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Corvette
is moving.
If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift
to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Manual transmission:
The gear selector should be in neutral. Hold the clutch
pedal to the floor and start the engine. Your vehicle
won’t start if the clutch pedal is not all the way
down
-- that’s a safety feature.
To start your 5.7 Liter LT5 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the
direction
of the turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay on, a signal bulb may be’burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs.

To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high
to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way toward you.
Then release it. When the high beams are
on, this blue
light
on the instrument panel also will be on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamp Doors
The headlamp doors are designed to open when you
turn the headlamps on and close when you turn the
headlamps and parking lamps off. If you turn the
headlamps on, then turn the headlamp switch back to
the parking lamps setting, the headlamp doors will stay
open. You
can open the doors manually using the knob next to
the headlamp assembly. Turn the knob counterclockwise
until the doors are open.
The headlamp doors should be open when driving in icy
or snowy conditions to prevent the doors from freezing
closed and when washing the vehicle to help clean the
headlamps.
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be
on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t
be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will go out and your headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your front turn signal lamps come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system any time you need
it.
Fog Lamps
Use your fog lamps for
better vision in foggy or
misty conditions. Your
parking lamps
or
low-beam headlamps must
be on or your fog lamps
won’t work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button. Push the
button again
to turn the fog lamps off. A light above the
button will come on when the fog lamps are on.

works along with the warning lights and gauges. See
“Driver Information Center” in the Index.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to
RUN or START, a chime
will come on for about eight
seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled. The
safety belt light will also
come on and stay on until
the driver’s belt is buckled.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you
if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors and the wiring and the
diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag
system, see “Air Bag” in the Index.
AIR
BAG
You will see this light flash
for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to RUN
or START. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when
you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.
