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:

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 the 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 to the 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, the vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows long
enough to let hot inside air escape. Then keep the
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 the vehicle's engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system is
designed to help fuel economy while maintaining the
desired cooling level.

6-42 Extended Mobility Tires
Your vehicle, when new, had Goodyear Extended
Mobility Tires (EMT). There's no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment and no place to store a tire in the
vehicle. Extended Mobility Tires perform so well
without any air that a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is
used to alert you if a tire has lost pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) has a sensor on
each road wheel that transmits to a receiver on the
instrument panel.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry and Science Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS
-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
If a tire's inflation pressure is between 5 psi (35 kPa)
and 25 psi (170 kPa), you will see a message on the
Driver Information Center. This message will show
which tire is underinflated and two chimes will sound.
An example would be LOW TIRE PRESSURE
-LR.
This would mean that the inflation pressure in your left
rear tire is between 5 psi (35 kPa) and 25 psi (170 kPa).
If the inflation pressure in the tire drops below 5 psi
(35 kPa), the message would read FLAT TIRE
-LR and
four chimes will sound. See ªDriver Information
Centerº in the Index.
The TPM will also alert you if a tire's pressure is higher
than 42 psi (290 kPa). The message will show which tire
is overinflated and two chimes will sound. An example
would be HIGH PRESSURE
-LR. This would mean that
the inflation pressure in your left rear tire is higher than
42 psi (290 kPa). See ªDriver Information Centerº in
the Index.
If a tire pressure message appears on the Driver
Information Center, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information label. See ªInflation
-- Tire
Pressureº in the Index.

CAUTION:
Extended mobility tires are constructed
differently than other tires and could explode
during improper service. You or others could be
injured or killed if you attempt to repair, replace,
dismount, or mount an extended mobility tire.
Let only an authorized Goodyear EMT Service
Center repair, replace, dismount and mount
extended mobility tires.
The valve stems on your extended mobility tires have
sensors that are part of the TPM. These sensors contain
batteries which are designed to last for 10 years under
normal driving conditions. See your dealer if you ever
need to have a wheel replaced, or if the sensors ever
need replacement.
NOTICE:
Using liquid sealants can damage the tire valves
and tire pressure monitor sensors in your
extended mobility tires. This damage would not
be covered by warranty. Don't use liquid sealants
in your extended mobility tires.
If your vehicle is equipped with Goodyear Eagle F1-GS
tires and you feel that winter tires are needed for your
driving conditions, Goodyear Eagle M+S EMT tires are
available in your original equipment sizes from an
authorized Goodyear EMT retailer. These tires will
improve snow traction while maintaining your
Corvette's extended mobility feature. When using winter
tires on your vehicle, be sure to use them on all four
wheels. See ªBuying New Tiresº in the Index. If your
vehicle is equipped with Goodyear Eagle RS
-A tires,
they are all
-season rated tires.
