Towing the Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Do not lash or hook to
suspension components. Use the
proper straps around the tires to
secure the vehicle.
Use only a flatbed tow truck for
towing a disabled vehicle. Never
use a sling type lift or damage will
occur. Use ramps to help reduce
approach angles if necessary.
A towed vehicle should have its
drive wheels off the ground.
Consult a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle must
be towed.
To tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see
the owner ’s manual.
SS 1LE, and ZL1 Only
Due to low ramp angles on ZL1 and
SS 1LE vehicles, use care when
loading the vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier. Front spring spacers were
provided for lifting the front
suspension if more clearance is
necessary when towing.
ZL1 1LE Only
Due to the high spring rate and
spring design used on ZL1 1LE
vehicles, spring spacers are not
provided. If more clearance is
needed when towing, raise the
adjustable spring seat to lift the front

Tow Eye Socket
If the vehicle is equipped with a tow
eye, only use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle onto a flatbed car carrier
from a flat road surface. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle from
snow, mud, or sand.
The tow eye is in the rear
compartment storage area.
To install the tow eye:
1. Locate the tow eye socket through the opening in the
grille.
2. Install the tow eye into the socket by turning it clockwise
until it stops.

Exterior Care
Automatic Car Washes
Do not use automatic car washes.
Vehicles with the ZL1 or the 1LE
package (or any accessory ground
effects package) have reduced
ground clearance. Damage can
occur in automatic car washes,
when approaching curbs, or on
steep inclines. Approach curbs and
inclines with caution.
Caution
Stepping on the rocker molding
could damage the molding. The
repairs would not be covered by
warranty. Do not step on the
rocker molding.
Hood Extractor
Caution
Using wax on low gloss black
finish stripes can increase the
gloss level and create a
non-uniform finish. Clean low
gloss stripes with soap and
water only.
It is not recommended that the ZL1
hood extractor be waxed, as it will
change the gloss level of the
surface. In addition, care must be
used when waxing around the hood
extractor. If a small amount of wax
