Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your
transmission into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the
vehicle may put too much force
on the parking pawl in
the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull
the
shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.”
To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then
shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s seat.
To find
out how, see “Shifting Into
PARK
(P)” in the Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
PARK
(P) before you release the parking brake.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have
another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some
(
the pressure from the transmission, so you can pull the
shift lever out of PARK (P).
Shifting Out of PARK (P)
(Automatic Transmission)
Your Corvette has a brake-transmission shift interlock.
You have to fully apply your regular brake before you
can shift from PARK
(P) when the ignition is in the
RUN position. See “Automatic Transmission” in the
Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK
(P), ease pressure on
the shift lever
-- push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P) and release the shift lever button as you
maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever
button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish.

sure you give them the special wheel nut socket and
wheel lock key. They are under the jack in the rear
storage compartment behind the passenger’s seat. The
socket can be used with an air
or torque wrench.
NOTICE:
Your wheels could be damaged if the wheel nut
socket
is not used to remove your Corvette’s
wheels.
Always use the wheel nut socket when you use the
wheel wrench provided with your Corvette.
The equipment you’ll need is behind the driver’s seat
and in the rear storage compartment behind the
passenger’s seat.
Move the driver’s seat all the way forward and fold the
seatback forward. The wheel wrench is on the floor
behind the seat. Loosen the wingnuts and slide the wheel
wrench out
of the clamps.
