2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE air condition

Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging,
weather, and chemical fallout that can take their
toll over a period of years. To help keep the
paint nish looking new, keep the vehicle in a
garage or covered whenever possible.
Windshield and Wiper Blades
Clean the outside of the windshield with
glass cleaner.
Clean the rubber blades using a lint free cloth or
paper towel soaked with windshield washer uid or
a mild detergent. Wash the windshield thoroughly
when cleaning the blades. Bugs, road grime,
sap, and a buildup of vehicle wash/wax treatments
may cause wiper streaking. Replace the wiper
blades if they are worn or damaged.
Wipers can be damaged by:
Extreme dusty conditions
Sand and salt
Heat and sun
Snow and ice, without proper removal
Removable Roof Panel
Notice:If you use a glass treatment and/or
conditioner that contains ethyl alcohol or ethyl
sulfate on the roof panel, you could damage
the panel. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Only use a GM-approved
glass cleaner on the roof panel.
Special care is necessary when cleaning,
removing, and/or storing the roof panel.
Flush with water to remove dust and dirt,
then dry the panel.
Clean a transparent roof panel with GM Glass
Cleaner. Leave the cleaner on the panel
for one minute, then wipe the panel with a
soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use glass cleaner
on a painted roof panel.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on
either type of panel.
If water drops are frequently allowed to dry on
the roof panel, impurities in the water will adhere
to the top. These impurities may etch or mar
the nish. When the panel gets wet, dry it off.

Convertible Top
The vehicle’s convertible top should be cleaned
often. However, high pressure car washes
may cause water to enter your vehicle.
When you hand wash the top, do it in partial
shade. Use a mild soap, lukewarm water and
a soft sponge. A chamois or cloth may leave lint
on the top, and a brush can chafe the threads
in the top fabric. Do not use detergents, harsh
cleaners, solvents or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash the top evenly
to avoid spots or rings. Let the soap remain on the
fabric for a few minutes. When the top is really
dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly
rinse the entire vehicle, then let the top dry
in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
After you wash the vehicle, make sure the
top is completely dry before you lower it.
Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle’s painted
nish; it could leave streaks.
If you decide to go through an automatic car
wash, ask the manager if the equipment
could damage your top.
Aluminum or Chrome-Plated
Wheels and Trim
Your vehicle may have either aluminum or
chrome-plated wheels.
Keep the wheels clean using a soft clean cloth
with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water.
After rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean
towel. A wax may then be applied.
Notice:Chrome wheels and other chrome
trim may be damaged if you do not wash
your vehicle after driving on roads that have
been sprayed with magnesium, calcium or
sodium chloride. These chlorides are used
on roads for conditions such as ice and dust.
Always wash your vehicle’s chrome with
soap and water after exposure.
Notice:If you use strong soaps, chemicals,
abrasive polishes, cleaners, brushes, or
cleaners that contain acid on aluminum or
chrome-plated wheels, you could damage the
surface of the wheel(s). The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Use
only approved cleaners on aluminum or
chrome-plated wheels.

Underbody Maintenance
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust
control can collect on the underbody. If these are
not removed, corrosion and rust can develop on the
underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, oor pan,
and exhaust system even though they have
corrosion protection.
At least every spring, ush these materials from the
underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where
mud and debris can collect. Dirt packed in close
areas of the frame should be loosened before being
ushed. Your dealer or an underbody car washing
system can do this for you.
Fiberglass Springs
(Composite Springs)
Notice:If you use acidic or corrosive cleaning
products, engine degreasers or aluminum
cleaning agents on berglass springs, you
may damage the springs. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Use only
approved cleaners when cleaning your
vehicle’s berglass springs.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can
create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants
can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on the
vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy,
ring-shaped discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this,
we will repair, at no charge to the owner, the
surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles
(20 000 km) of purchase, whichever occurs rst.

Your Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep
your vehicle in good working condition, but also
helps the environment. All recommended
maintenance is important. Improper vehicle
maintenance can even affect the quality of the air
we breathe. Improper uid levels or the wrong
tire ination can increase the level of emissions
from your vehicle. To help protect our environment,
and to keep your vehicle in good condition, be
sure to maintain your vehicle properly.
Using the Maintenance Schedule
We at General Motors want to help you keep your
vehicle in good working condition. But we do
not know exactly how you will drive it. You may
drive very short distances only a few times a week.
Or you may drive long distances all the time in
very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle
in making deliveries. Or you may drive it to
work, to do errands, or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people use their
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may
need more frequent checks and replacements. So
please read the following and note how you
drive. If you have any questions on how to keep
your vehicle in good condition, see your GM
Goodwrench
®dealer.
