1997 CHEVROLET CORVETTE change time

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the transmission fluid temperature rises above 263 OF
(1 28 O C) or rises rapidly, this message is displayed.
The transmission may shift gears or apply the torque
converter clutch to reduce the fluid temperature.
Driving aggressively or driving on long hills can cause
the transmission fluid temperature to be higher than
normal. If this message appears, you may continue to
drive at a slower speed.
You should also monitor the
transmission fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at
least
230°F (1 10OC). The transmission fluid temperature
can be monitored with the GAGES button on the DIC.
See “Automatic Transmission Fluid” in the Index. You
should also check the engine coolant temperature.
If it is
also hot, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
If the HIGH TRANS TEMP message is displayed
during normal vehicle operation on flat roads, your
vehicle may need service. See your Chevrolet dealer
for an inspection.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE - (LF, LR, RF, RR): YOU
will hear two chimes when this message is displayed.
To acknowledge the warning, press RESET. After you
press RESET, a message will reappear and you will hear
a chime every
10 minutes until this condition changes.
This message indicates that the pressure in one of your
tires is less than
25 psi (172 kPa). Next to the LOW
TIRE PRESSURE message, you can see either LF (left
front), LR (left rear),
RF (right front) or RR (right rear) to indicate to
you which tire is low on pressure. You can
receive more than one tire pressure message at a time.
To read other messages that may have been sent at the
same time, press RESET.
If a tire pressure message
appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See “Extended
Mobility Tires” in the Index.
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle’s handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers.
If you drive too fast, you could lose
control
of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don’t drive over
55 mph (90 km/h) when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.

a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is not
working properly. If you drive your vehicle while any
of
the four sensors are missing or inoperable, the warning
will come on in approximately
10 minutes. If all four
sensors are missing, the warning will come on in
approximately
15 - 20 minutes. (All the sensors would
be missing, for example, if you put different wheels on
your vehicle without transferring the sensors. If the
warning comes on and stays on, there may be a problem
with the TPM. See your dealer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Outside Air Temperature Sensor
This sensor is located in the air intake under the front
bumper of the vehicle. Information from this sensor
is used for the outside air temperature readings
shown on the digital display for the automatic
climate control system.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
0 The vehicle’s speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h)
for one and a half minutes.
The vehicle’s speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h)
for one minute.
These delays help prevent false readings.
If the
temperature goes down, the outside temperature
display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been turned off for more than three
hours, the current outside temperature will be shown
when you start the vehicle.
If it has been turned off for
less than three hours, the temperature will be recalled
from the previous vehicle operation.
Inside Temperature Sensor
This sensor is located just left of the ignition switch.
The automatic climate control system uses this sensor
to receive information
so if you block or cover it, the
system will not function properly.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows
long enough to let hot inside air escape. Then keep your
windows closed in order to allow the air conditioning
to work best. Maximum cooling will occur when the
RECIRCULATE setting is operating, airflow direction is
in the upper mode, and the temperature control knob (on
a manual climate control system) is turned all the way to
the blue area. These settings will be selected by the
Automatic Electronic Dual Climate Control System if
operating in AUTO when maximum cooling is required.
When the
air conditioning is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system
is
designed to help fuel economy while maintaining the
desired cooling level.
The
air conditioning removes moisture from the air, so you
may notice water dripping from under your vehicle when
it is idling or after it has been turned
off. This is normal.

Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK" is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.
The THEFTLOCK feature for the radio may be used
or ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK is
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio will display
LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power has been interrupted. If your battery loses power
for any reason, you must unlock the radio with the
secret code before it will operate.
Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The instructions which follow, explain how to enter your
secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK system. It is
recommended that you read through all nine steps
before starting the procedure.
NOTE: If you allow more than
15 seconds to elapse
between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to
time and you must
start the procedure over at Step 4.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
Using Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you. You may hear a motor
or
clicking noise and feel the brake pedal move a little
during a stop, but this is normal.
When your anti-lock system is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid, the
ABS ACTIVE message
will come on. See “ABS ACTIVE Message” in
the Index.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a traction control system called TCS
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that the rear wheels are spinning
too much or are
beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system works the rear brakes and reduces engine power
(by closing the throttle and managing engine spark) to
limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE message will
come on when the TCS system is limiting wheel spin.
See “TRACTION SYSTEM ACTIVE Message” in the
Index. You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS system
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions allow
you to safely use
it again, you may re-engage the cruise
control. (See “Cruise Control”
in the Index.)
