1995 CHEVROLET CORVETTE wheel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord
as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the weather, the kind
of oil
you have, and some other things. Instead
of trying to list
everything here, we ask that you contact your Chevrolet
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle.
The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
Automatic Transmission
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
PARK (P): This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position
to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
2-24

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NEUTRAL (N): In this position, your engine doesn’t
connect with the wheels.
To restart when you’re
already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use
NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.
I NOTICE:
I
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting
out of
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) with the
engine racing isn’t covered
by your warranty.
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (0): This position is for
normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and
you’re:
Going less than about 35 mph (56 km/h), push your
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or more, push the
accelerator all
the way down.
You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power.
DRIVE 0): This is like AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@),
but you never go into overdrive.
Here
are some times you might choose DFUVE (D)
instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(0):
0 When driving on hilly, winding roads
0 When going down a steep hill

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SECOND (2): This position gives you more power but
lower fuel economy. You can use SECOND
(2) on hills.
It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then you would also want to use
your brakes off and on.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than SECOND
(2). You can
use
it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the
selector lever is put in FIRST
(l), the transmission
won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle
is going
slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against
a solid
object. You could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat and damage the
transmission. Use your brakes or shift into
PARK
(P) to hold your vehicle in position on a
hill.
Maximum engine speed is limited to protect driveline
components from improper operation.

RIDE CONTROL
SPORT I/
This knob is on the center console. Turn it to select the
ride control of your choice:
TOUR: Use for city and highway driving. Provides a
smooth, soft ride.
SPORT: Use where road conditions or personal
preference demand more control. Provides more “feel,”
or response to the road conditions.
PERF: Use for performance driving. Provides a tight,
firm ride and precise response to road conditions. TOUR
and SPORT will provide a similar ride at low
speeds around town, and both settings will increase
control and firmness at higher speeds. SPORT, however,
will adjust more at higher speeds than TOUR will.
PERF will provide much more control and a firmer ride
at all speeds.
You can select a setting at any time. Based on your
speed, the system automatically adjusts to provide the
best ride and handling. Select a new setting whenever
driving conditions change.
The amber SERVICE RIDE CONTROL light monitors
the system. Refer to “Service Ride Control Light” in the
Index.
Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Your rear axle can give you additional traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle
most of the time, but when one of the rear wheels has no
traction and the other does, the limited-slip feature will
allow the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.

To sound the horn, press either horn symbol on your
steering wheel. A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive.
You can also raise it to the highest level to give your
legs
more room when you exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the
lever toward you. Move the steering wheel to a
comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel
in place.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can
maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more
without keeping your foot
on the accelerator.
This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes or push the clutch pedal
the cruise control shuts off.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
ASR system
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. (See
"ASR System'' in the
Index.) When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
