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.

Your Corvette's  flow-through  ventilation system 
supplies  outside air  into  the  vehicle when it  is moving. 
Outside  air  will also  enter  the vehicle when  the heater  or 
the  air  conditioning  fan is running. 
Ventilation Tips 
Keep  the hood  and front  air inlet  free of ice, snow  or 
any  other  obstruction (such as leaves).  The heater 
and defroster will work  far better, reducing the 
chance  of fogging  the inside  of your windows. 
When  you enter  a vehicle in cold weather,  adjust the 
fan  to  the highest speed  for  a few moments  before 
driving  off. This  helps  clear the intake  ducts 
of snow 
and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging  the 
inside 
of your windows.
