1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE stop start

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
For
a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle.
If you want more cycles, hold the
band
on MIST longer. You
can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO position. For high speed wiping,
turn the band further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move
the band to OFF.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them.
If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.

.
This red light will come on
when you turn on the
ignition, but the engine is
not running, as a check to
show you it is working. It
should go out when the
engine starts.
If it stays on or comes on while you
are driving, you
may have a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that you have a loose
or broken drive
belt
or another electrical problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light is on could drain your
battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn
off all your accessories, such as the radio
and
air conditioner.
Brake System Warning Light
LT1 engine LT5 engine
Your Corvette’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This light should come on briefly as you start the
vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it
will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If this
warning light stays
on, there could be a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder
to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
Parking Brake Indicator Light
This light will come on
when you set your parking
brake, and it will stay on if
your parking brake doesn’t
release fully.
This light should also come on briefly as you start the
vehicle. If
it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it
will
be ready to remind you if the parking brake hasn’t
released fully.

SERVICE
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on for
several seconds. That’s
normal. If the light doesn’t
come on, have it fixed
so it
will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Active Light
ABS
ACTIVE
When your anti-lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
the
ABS ACTIVE light will
come on. Slippery road
conditions may exist
if this
light comes on,
so adjust
your driving accordingly.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition
off. Or, if the light
comes on when you’re driving, stop
as soon as possible
and turn the ignition
off. Then start the engine again to
reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on
again while you’re driving, your Corvette needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you
still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If
the regular brake system warning light is also on, you
don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part. The
light will stay on for a few seconds after the system
stops adjusting brake pressure.
The ABS ACTIVE light also comes on briefly, as a bulb
check, when the engine is started. If the light doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be there to tell you
when the system is active.

This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
gauge pointer moves into the shaded area, your engine is
too hot!
It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should pull
off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn
off the engine as soon as possible.
Hot Coolant Can Bum You Badly!
In “Problems on the Road,” this manual shows what to

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine It’s normal for the transmission fluid temperature to
vary, depending on the type of driving you do and
weather conditions. If you drive on long grades on a hot
day, the transmission fluid temperature will be higher
than normal driving on a cold day. If you drive your
Corvette at high speeds with a lot of stop-and-go or fast
accelerations, your transmission fluid temperature may
also be higher.
If the transmission fluid exceeds
280°F (138 “C), the
CHECK GAUGES light will come on and HI
AUTO
will be displayed next to the transmission fluid
temperature when you toggle through the GAUGES
button. You should move the shift lever to DRIVE (D)
and continue driving at a slower, constant speed.
Monitor the transmission fluid temperature and allow
it
to cool to 180°F (82°C) to 200°F (93°C). Then, you
should check the transmission fluid level for a low fill or
overfill condition and bring your Corvette in for service
as soon as possible (see “Automatic Transmission Fluid”
in the Index). Also, check the engine coolant
temperature. If it’s too hot, see “Cooling System” in the
Index.
Check Gauges Light
This red light will come on
briefly when you are
starting the engine. If the
light comes on and stays on
while
you are driving, check
your gauges to see if they
are
in the warning areas.
This light can come
on for:
0 high engine oil temperature or low oil pressure
high coolant temperature
high or low battery voltage
0 low fuel level
0 high automatic transmission oil temperature

1. Turn the key to RUN, but don’t start the engine.
2. Press ENG MET on the Trip Monitor. Then, within
five seconds, press it again.
3. Witbin five seconds, press and hold GAUGES on the
Trip’Monitor. The CHANGE OIL light should flash.
4. Hold the GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL

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.

System Problems
If the light above an air control button flashes when you
turn on the ignition, your system may have an electrical
problem. The flashing will continue for one minute, then
stop.
The flashing light could also mean the refrigerant level
is too low in your system. The light will continue to
flash, even if refrigerant is added, until the system is
reset. Have your system checked and serviced if needed.
To reset your system:
1. Turn your ignition key to OFF or LOCK.
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio fuses from the
main fuse panel and wait one minute. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
3. Put the fuses back in and start your vehicle.
The light shouldn’t come on and your system should be
working properly. If you still have a problem, see your
dealer.
