works along with the warning lights and gauges. See
“Driver Information Center” in the Index.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to
RUN or START, a chime
will come on for about eight
seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled. The
safety belt light will also
come on and stay on until
the driver’s belt is buckled.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you
if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors and the wiring and the
diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag
system, see “Air Bag” in the Index.
AIR
BAG
You will see this light flash
for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to RUN
or START. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when
you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.

Your Corvette’s radio receiver box is in the rear
storage compartment.
To help avoid damage,
carefully place the jack, socket and wheel lock
key into the foam container in the compartment.
Do not toss or place the items against the radio

you’ll notice the road tire is larger than the spare,
so you
must adjust the tray to its lower position. Lift and
push
the tire carrier tray toward the front of the vehicle. The
tray will drop to its lower position.

NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Corvette
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they
should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Corvette, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Corvette” in the Index.
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of maxi-fuses,
mini-fuses, and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance
of fires caused by electrical problems.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are three fuse centers on your vehicle. One is in
the right side of your instrument panel. Turn the knob
and pull the door to access the fuses.
The other two fuse blocks are in the engine
compartment. One
is part of the Forward Lamp wiring
harness
(A), and the other is part of the ECM-Engine
wiring harness
(B).
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. Just
pick some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along
without
-- like the radio or cigarette lighter -- and use
its fuse, if it is the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the switch. An electrical overload will cause the lamps
to
go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a
fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
