Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your
vehicle was new,
it can lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 Wa).
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure your spare
tire is correctly inflated. The compact spare is made to
perform well at posted speed limits for distances up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can finish your trip and
have your full-size tire repaired or replaced where you
want.
Of course, it’s best to replace your spare with a
full-size tire as soon as you can. Your spare will last
longer and be in good shape in case you need it again.
Tighten the straps by pulling on the loose ends.
When the tire is stored in the rear cargo area, you can’t
store
a removable roof panel. It will not fit into the
latches properly.
Raise the tire carrier tray to its upper position and
tighten the latch bolt until
it is snug.
Put the wheel wrench back in its place under the driver’s seat.
Be sure to tighten the wingnuts.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer,
or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax
or other material may be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM
Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM
Part No.
1050011). The windshield is clean if beads do not form
when you rinse it with water.
If you use a glass treatment or conditioner containing
ethyl alcohol or ethyl sulfate on your glass, be sure to
remove the acrylic roof panel, if
so equipped. These
products may darnage the panel.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth
soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then
rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and
replaced when worn.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.)
Cleaning a Removable Roof Panel
Special care is necessary when cleaning, removing
and/or storing the roof panel.
Flush with water to remove dust and dirt, then dry
the panel.
Clean the panel with GM Glass Cleaner. Leave the
cleaner on the panel for one minute, then wipe the
panel with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Don’t use abrasive cleaning materials.
If water drops are frequently allowed to dry on the roof
panel, impurities in the water will adhere to the top.
These impurities may destroy the finish. When the panel
gets wet, you should dry it o€f.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Do not use a glass treatment or conditioner
containing ethyl alcohol or ethyl sulfate on the
roof panel. These products may damage the panel.
Cleaning the Outside of Your
Corvette
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth
of color, gloss retention and durability.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep
it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun.
Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use
liquid hand, dish
or car washing (mild detergent) soaps.
Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or
that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents
should be flushed promptly and not allowed
to dry on the surface,
or they could stain.
Dry the finish with a
soft, clean chamois
or a 100% cotton towel to avoid
surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter
your
vehicle.
I 1
I NOTICE:
Conveyor systems on some automatic car washes
may damage
a Corvette. They may not have
enough clearance for the undercarriage
or for the
extra wide rear tires
on ZR-1 models.
Check with the manager before using a car wash.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Corvette
by hand may be necessary to remove residue from the
paint finish. You can get
GM approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and
Materials” in the Index.)
