Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different size
than your original equipment wheels and tires,
this may affect the way your vehicle performs,
including its braking, ride and handling
characteristics, stability, and resistance to
rollover. Additionally, if your vehicle has electronic
systems such as, anti-lock brakes, traction
control, and electronic stability control, the
performance of these systems can be affected.
{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your
vehicle may not provide an acceptable
level of performance and safety if tires
not recommended for those wheels are
selected. You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use GM specic wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a
GM certied technician.SeeBuying New Tires on page 394and
Accessories and Modications on page 319
for additional information.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
The following information relates to the system
developed by the United States National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
which grades tires by treadwear, traction, and
temperature performance. This applies only
to vehicles sold in the United States. The grades
are molded on the sidewalls of most passenger
car tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG) system does not apply to deep tread,
winter-type snow tires, space-saver, or temporary
use spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters
of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), or to some
limited-production tires.

Lifting Your Vehicle
{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 rmly.
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.
{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.
402

If you ever use a jack to lift your vehicle, 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.
Lifting From the Front
The front lifting points can be accessed from
either side of your vehicle, behind the front tires.
403

1. Locate the front lifting points (A), according
to the illustration shown.
2. Be sure to place a block or pad between
the jack and the vehicle.3. Lift the vehicle with the jack, making
sure the jack spans at least two of the
crossmember ribs (B).
404

Lifting From the Rear
The rear lifting points can be accessed from
the rear of the vehicle, on either the driver’s
or passenger’s side.
1. Locate the rear lifting points (A), according
to the illustration shown.
2. Be sure to place a block or pad between
the jack and the vehicle.
405

Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses in the
fuse block. An electrical overload will cause
the lamps to turn off. If this happens, have your
headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
fuse and an internal circuit breaker. 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 xed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power seats, 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 xed or goes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of J-Case fuses,
mini-fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of res 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 do not
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.
419

Remove the carpet and toe-board covering to access the fuse block by pulling at the top of each corner
of the panel. Open the fuse block cover to access the fuses.
You can remove fuses using the fuse puller.
