Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamp Doors
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
.
Lamps On Reminder
If you turn the ignition off and leave the headlamps or
parking lamps on, you will hear a chime.

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.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.

as you drive faster. The control behind the upper knob has three
SCV positions.
H has a higher maximum
volume and gets louder faster than
L. Use H when you
are driving with the roof panel off, the convertible top
down or the windows open. If you don't want to use
SCV, turn the control to OFF.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than bralung. For example, you come over
a hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you.
You can
avoid these problems by braking
-- if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering around
the problem.
Your Corvette can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in
Emergencies” earlier in
this section.) It is better to
remove as much speed as you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or
right depending on the space available. An
emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If
you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full
180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But
you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once
you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always
possible is
a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

Fill Reservoir mt
H
I NOTICE:
Your engine has a specific coolant high fill
reservoir
fill procedure. Failure to follow this
procedure could cause your engine
to overheat
and be severely damaged.
1. You can remove the coolant high fill reservoir
pressure cap when the cooling system, including the
coolant high
fill reservoir pressure cap and upper
radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap
slowly counterclockwise
until it first stops. (Don’t
press down while turning
the pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push
down
as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap.
