1. Turn the cruise control on. 
2. Get up to the speed you  want. 
3. Push in the set button 
at  the  end 
of the  lever 
and release 
it. 
4. Take your  foot off the accelerator pedal.  Suppose you set your cruise control 
at  a  desired  speed 
and then you apply the  brake or clutch  pedal. 
This, of 
course, shuts  off the cruise  control. But you  don’t  need 
to reset  it. 
Once you’re  going about 
25 mph (40 km/h) or  more, 
you  can move  the  cruise 
control  switch  to  IUA 
(Resume/Accelerate)  for 
about  half  a  second. 
You’ll  go right back  up 
to your chosen  speed  and  stay 
there.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Corvette’s odometer  is tamper-resistant.  It will 
read 
OD0 ERR if someone has tampered with it. 
If a new odometer  is  installed,  it will automatically  reset 
to the correct reading.  If an electrical  or  other problem 
makes  setting the odometer correctly impossible, then 
it’s set 
at zero, but a  label on the  driver’s door must 
show  the old reading and when the new one was 
installed. 
Trip  Odometer 
The trip  odometer  can tell  you  how  far your  Corvette  has 
been driven  since  you  last  set  the  trip  odometer  to  zero. 
To display the trip  odometer, press  TRIP OD0 on  the 
Trip  Monitor. 
To reset  it, press and hold RESET  TRIP 
for  two  seconds. 
Tachometer 
The  tachometer  displays the engine  speed in thousands 
of revolutions  per  minute (rpm). 
Fuel  will shut  off at 
7200 rpm  for  the  LT5 (Code J) 
engine  and at 5850 rpm for the  LT1,  (Code P)  engine. 
If  you  continue  to drive  your Corvette  at the  fuel  shut 
off  rpm,  you could  damage your engine. Be  sure  to 
operate  your Corvette  below the  fuel  shut 
off rpm or 
reduce your rpm  quickly when the  fuel  shuts  off. 
Warning  Lights,  Gauges  and 
Indicators 
Warning lights and gauges can signal  that something  is 
wrong  before  it  becomes serious enough to cause  an 
expensive  repair or replacement. Paying  attention to 
your warning  lights and gauges could also  save  you or 
others  from injury. 
Warning lights  come 
on when there may  be  or  is a 
problem with  one of  your  vehicle’s  functions. As you 
will  see  in  the details  on the  next  few pages, some 
warning lights come 
on briefly  when  you  start  the 
engine  just  to  let you  know  they’re working.  If  you are 
familiar  with this section,  you should  not  be  alarmed 
when this happens. 
Gauges can  indicate when there may be  or  is a problem 
with one 
of your vehicle’s functions. Often  gauges  and 
warning lights work together to let  you  know  when 
there’s a problem with  your vehicle. 
When one  of the warning lights comes  on  and stays on 
when  you are  driving,  or  when one 
of the gauges  shows 
there  may  be  a problem, check  the section  that  tells  you 
what  to do  about  it. Please follow this  manual’s advice. 
Waiting  to 
do repairs can  be costly -- and  even 
dangerous. 
So please get  to know your  warning lights 
and gauges. They’re a  big help.

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.

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.
