Radio Reception
You may experience frequency interference and
static during normal radio reception if items
such as cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic devices
are plugged into the accessory power outlet.
If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range can
cause station frequencies to interfere with each
other. For better radio reception, most AM
radio stations will boost the power levels during
the day, and then reduce these levels during
the night. Static can also occur when things like
storms and power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try reducing the
treble on your radio.

Adding non-dealer accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. SeeAccessories and
Modications on page 319for more information.
Active Handling System
The Active Handling System is a computer
controlled system that helps the driver maintain
directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions. This is accomplished by selectively
applying any one of the vehicle’s brakes.
When you rst start your vehicle during cold winter
weather and begin to drive away, the message
ACTIVE HANDLING WARMING UP may be
displayed in the DIC. This is normal. You can
acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET
button. The Active Handling System performance
is affected until the message, ACTIVE HANDLING
READY, is displayed in the DIC.
The ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING message
may be displayed in the DIC and the instrument
panel cluster light will be on after exceeding
18 mph (30 km/h) for 10 seconds. The Active
Handling System is off until the ACTIVE
HANDLING READY message is displayed.
This could take up to 15 minutes.The ACTIVE HANDLING message will come on
when the system is operating. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 214for more information.
You may also feel or hear the system working.
This is normal.
The SERVICE ACTIVE
HANDLING message
will be displayed, the
instrument cluster light
will come on, and a
chime will sound to let
you know if there is a
problem with the system.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 214for
more information.
When this light and the SERVICE ACTIVE
HANDLING SYSTEM message are on, the system
is not operational. Adjust your driving accordingly.

Your vehicle’s engine is lled at the factory
with a Mobil 1®synthetic oil, which meets all
requirements for your vehicle.
Substitute Engine Oil: When adding oil to
maintain engine oil level, oil meeting GM
Standard GM4718M may not be available.
You can add substitute oil designated SAE 5W-30
with the starburst symbol at all temperatures.
Substitute oil not meeting GM Standard GM4718M
should not be used for an oil change.
Engine Oil Additives
Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended
oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM
Standard GM4718M are all you need for good
performance and engine protection.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has a computer that lets you know
when to change your engine oil and lter.
This is based on engine revolutions and engine
temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change
will be indicated can vary considerably. For the
oil life system to work properly, you must reset
the system every time the oil is changed.
Z06 models are equipped with a racetrack-ready
dry sump engine lubrication system. This
high-performance system operates differently
than a standard engine lubrication system
and requires a special procedure when changing
the engine oil and lter. SeeEngine Oil
on page 333.
340

When the system has calculated that oil life has
been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL message
will come on. Change your oil as soon as possible
within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is
possible that, if you are driving under the best
conditions, the oil life system may not indicate
that an oil change is necessary for over a
year. However, your engine oil and lter must
be changed at least once a year and at this
time the system must be reset. Your dealer
has GM-trained service people who will perform
this work using genuine GM parts and reset
the system. It is also important to check your
oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you
must change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
since your last oil change. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and lter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. If a situation occurs where
you change your oil prior to a CHANGE ENGINE
OIL message being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message
after an oil change, do the following:
1. Press the TRIP button so the OIL LIFE
percentage is displayed.
2. Press RESET and hold for two seconds.
OIL LIFE REMAINING 100% will appear.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes
back on when you start your vehicle, the engine
oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
341

If you no longer have the overheat warning,
you can drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for
about 10 minutes. If the warning does not
come back on, you can drive normally.
If the warning continues and you are not
stopped, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle
right away.
If there is still no sign of steam, you can idle the
engine for three minutes while you are parked.
If you still have the warning, turn off the engine
and get everyone out of the vehicle until it
cools down. Also, see “Overheated Engine
Protection Operating Mode” later in this section.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get
service help right away.Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode
If an overheated engine condition exists and the
messages COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE
and REDUCED ENGINE POWER are displayed,
along with the Check Engine light, an overheat
protection mode which alternates ring groups of
cylinders helps prevent engine damage. In
this mode, you will notice a loss in power and
engine performance. This operating mode allows
your vehicle to be driven to a safe place in an
emergency; you may drive up to 50 miles (80 km).
Notice:After driving in the overheated
engine protection operating mode, to avoid
engine damage, allow the engine to cool before
attempting any repair. The engine oil will be
severely degraded. Repair the cause of coolant
loss, change the oil and reset the oil life
system. SeeEngine Oil on page 333.

If you want to purchase service information, see
Service Publications Ordering Information on
page 468.
Owner Checks and Services on page 438tells you
what should be checked, when to check it, and
what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in
good condition.
The proper replacement parts, uids, and
lubricants to use are listed inRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 443andNormal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 445.
When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these
are used. All parts should be replaced and all
necessary repairs done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle. We recommend the use of
genuine GM parts.Scheduled Maintenance
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes
on, it means that service is required for your
vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is
possible that, if you are driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system may
not indicate that vehicle service is necessary for
over a year. However, your engine oil and
lter must be changed at least once a year and at
this time the system must be reset. Your
dealer/retailer has trained service technicians who
will perform this work using genuine parts and
reset the system.
