I
SERVICE
LTPWS
The amber SERVICE
LTPWS light comes on
whenever a LTPWS part is
not working properly. It
may also come on when
you’re going less than
25 mph (40 km/h) or in
stop-and-go traffic.
The light will
go out when the electronic receiver gets a
signal from each sensor.
Check the system by turning the ignition on. The light
should come on and then
go out. See your dealer if the
light stays on or doesn’t come on.
Here
are two situations that cause the SERVICE LTPWS
light to come on and stay on. Both of these situations are
normal and do qot indicate that anything is wrong with
your Corvette.
You turn the ignition on three times in a row for half
an hour without moving your Corvette. The light will
then come on every time you turn the ignition on
until you move your Corvette.
You run your Corvette three times for half an hour
while all four sensors
are missing. (All the sensors
would be missing, for example, if you put different
wheels on your Corvette without transferring the
sensors.)
If you would like to clear the SERVICE LTPWS light
from your driver information center permanently, see
your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, even when the
vehicle is driven, there may be a problem with LTPWS.
See your dealer.
Door Ajar Light
This red light comes on
when you open one of the
doors with the ignition on.
It stays on until you fully
close the door. Have your
vehicle serviced
if the light
comes on and stays on even
when the doors are fully
closed.

A computer monitors
operation
of your fuel,
ignition and emission
control systems. This amber
light should come on when
the ignition is on, but the
engine is not running, as a
check to show you it is
working.
If it does not come
on at all, have it fixed right away. If
it stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the
computer is indicating that you have
a problem. You
should take your vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on,
after
a while the emission controls won’t work as
well, your fuel economy won’t be as good and your
engine may not
run as smoothly. This could lead to
costly repairs not covered by your warranty.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
-1
OIL
PRESS
PSI
The engine oil pressure gauge shows the engine
oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) or
kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running. Oil
pressure should be
20 to 80 psi (140 to 550 Ea). It
may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil
viscosity, but readings above the shaded area show the
normal operating range. Readings in the shaded area tell
you that the engine is low on oil, or that you might have
some other oil problem. See “Engine Oil” in the Index.

Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and
is not covered by your
warranty.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge
LT1 LT5
This gauge shows your engine oil temperature. Oil
temperature may vary with the type
of driving you do
and weather conditions. If your gauge pointer moves
close to or into the shaded area and stays there, your oil
temperature is too high. Check the engine coolant
temperature and engine oil level. If your engine is too
hot, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index. Your
vehicle may need service; see your dealer.
2-81

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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to reset the monitor when your oil is changed,
even if the CHANGE OIL light didn’t come on. If you

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.
2-87

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.
Passive Keyless Entry Light
1
PASSIVE
KEYLESS
ENTRY
This amber light will come
on for about two seconds
when you
turn the ignition
on, unless your keyless
entry system is
off. The
light also comes on and
flashes when you
are
programming transmitters.
See “Passive Keyless Entry System” in the Index.
Security Light
This amber light comes on
to remind you to arm your
theft-deterrent system. If it
comes on and stays on when
your ignition is on, there
may be a problem with your
theft-deterrent system.
See “Universal Theft-Deterrent” and “PASS-Key” in the

Your vehicle has several settings for clearing your
windows. The air conditioner compressor will run to
help remove moisture from the air.
To defrost the windshield quickly, press the arrows on
the
TEMP SET switch to set a comfortable temperature.
Press DEFROST and the fan will go to high speed. After
the windows are clear, you can lower the speed using the
downward arrow or
AUTO FAN.
With the automatic system, to warm passengers while
keeping the windshield clear? press the arrows on the
TEMP SET switch to set a comfortable temperature. Press
HEATER and DEFROST at the same time and, if you
don’t like the automatic setting, press the
arrows on the fan
speed switch.
To defrost the side windows quickly, press the arrows on
the
TEMP SET switch to set a comfortable temperature.
Then press DEFROST and,
if you don’t like the automatic
setting, press the arrows on the fan speed switch.
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.
