2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE lock

6-52 Tire Chains
NOTICE:
Don't use tire chains. They can damage your
vehicle because there's not enough clearance.
Use another type of traction device only if its
manufacturer recommends it for use on your
vehicle and tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or remove the
device if it's contacting your vehicle, and don't
spin your wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit,
install them on the rear tires.
Lifting Your Corvette
CAUTION:
Lifting a vehicle can cause an injury. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over you or other
people. You and they could be badly injured.
Find a level place to lift your vehicle. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Put an automatic transmission shift
lever in PARK (P), or shift a manual
transmission to FIRST (1) or
REVERSE (R).
3. Turn off the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won't move,
you can put blocks in front of and behind
the wheels.

6-53
CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even make
the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal injury and
vehicle damage, be sure to place the jack in the
proper location before raising the vehicle.
If you ever use a jack to lift your Corvette, such as to
display it at a show, follow the instructions that came
with the jack, and be sure to use the correct lifting points
to avoid damaging your vehicle.
NOTICE:
Lifting your vehicle improperly can damage your
vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by
your warranty. To lift your vehicle properly,
follow the advice in this part.
To help prevent vehicle damage:

Be sure to place a block or pad between the
jack and the vehicle.

Make sure the jack you're using spans at
least two crossmember ribs.

Lift only in the areas shown in the
following pictures.
For additional information, see your dealer and
the Chevrolet Corvette service manual.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don't add anything electrical to your vehicle
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 vehicle, see ªServicing
Your Air Bag
-Equipped Vehicleº in the Index.
Accessory Power Plug
The accessory power plug can be used to connect
electrical equipment such as a cellular phone or CB radio.
It is located behind the carpeting, on the passenger's side
toe
-board, at the top left corner near the body control
module. Be sure to follow the installation instructions
included with the equipment.
To use the accessory power plug, do the following:
1. Remove the toe
-board panel by lifting up on the
latches at the top of each corner of the panel.
2. Locate the black connector at the top left corner of
the compartment near the body control module
above the two white diagnostic connectors.
3. Disconnect the connector pigtail by pulling forward
on the plastic locking tab and pull the connection
apart from the wire harness.
The plug has the following three separate wires:

The orange wire connects to battery power.

The yellow wire connects to ignition power.
(Power is only available when the ignition is in ON.)

The black wire connects to ground.

6-68 Fuses and Circuit Breakers
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.
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 identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. 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 correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse
block is located on the
passenger's side of the
vehicle, under the
instrument panel and
under the toe
-board.
Remove the carpet and toe
-board covering to access the
fuse block by lifting up on the latches at the top of each
corner of the panel. Then turn the fuse block door knob
counterclockwise and pull the door to access the fuses.
