Lap-Shoulder Belt
On coupe models, the driver seat
belt has an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). This feature is
useful in performance driving
scenarios where the driver wants to
be held in the seat more tightly to
take advantage of the aggressive
bolstering of the seat.
To use:1. Move the seat 8–10 cm (3–4 in) rearward from the
normal driving position.
2. Pull the driver shoulder belt out as far as it will go, until it stops,
to set the lock. While holding
the shoulder belt in this
position, buckle the belt. When you release the shoulder
belt, the retractor will make a
ratchet sound when it retracts.
When the retractor lock is set,
the belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the retractor.
3. Adjust the belt close to your body, and then move the seat
forward 8–10 cm (3–4 in) to the
desired driving position. This
will hold the belt to your body
even tighter. The belt fit should
be tight, but not uncomfortable.
To unlatch the belt, press the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.

mount 180° until the TRACK
CAMBER text is visible and the
second set of top mount holes
aligns with the strut tower
holes.
5. Reinstall the top mount bolts and torque to 29 Y
(21.4 lb ft). 6. Keep the top mount alignment
pin and bolt for reinstallation
when the struts are returned to
the street position following the
track event.
7. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment per track alignment
specifications to optimize
vehicle performance for the
track event.
8. Verify and re-adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following
the track event.
Strut Spring Seat Adjustment
The front struts have a threaded
spring seat that allows adjustment
of the preload on the front springs.
The vehicle corner weights and front
trim heights can be adjusted. The spring seat can be adjusted
approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) up or
down from the nominal position.
Each complete turn of the spring
perch will change the vehicle height
approximately 1.4 mm (0.06 in). Do
not allow the spring seat to contact
the black dust boot when adjusting
in the maximum upward direction.
To adjust the lower spring seat:
1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are completely off the ground.
2. Loosen the lower spring seatbolt. Do not completely remove
the bolt.

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

suspension. See "Strut Spring Seat
Adjustment" inTrack Events and
Competitive Driving 014.
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.
Appearance Care
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
