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.

P :This position locks the drive
wheels. It is the best position to use
when starting the engine because
the vehicle cannot move easily.
{Warning
It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully
in P (Park) with the parking brake
firmly set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
engine is running. If you have left
the engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You or others
could be injured. To be sure the
vehicle will not move, even when
you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and
move the shift lever to P (Park).
Make sure the shift lever is fully in
P (Park) before starting the engine.
The vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. The regular brake must be
fully applied first and then the shift
lever button must be pressed before
shifting from P (Park) when the
ignition is on. If you cannot shift out
of P (Park), ease pressure on the
shift lever, then push the shift lever
all the way into P (Park) as you

To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment:
. Use engine oil approved to the
proper specification and of the
proper viscosity grade. See
“Selecting the Right Engine Oil”
in this section.
. Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “Checking
Engine Oil” and“When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.
. Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See “Engine
Oil Life System” in the owner’s
manual.
. Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with
Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly,
every 650 km (400 mi), especially
prior to a long trip. The engine oil
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment Overview 032
for the location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Center
(DIC) message displays, check the
oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
. To get an accurate reading, park
the vehicle on level ground.
Check the engine oil level after
the engine has been off for at
least two hours. Checking the
engine oil level on steep grades
or too soon after engine shutoff
can result in incorrect readings.
Accuracy improves when

40 Vehicle Care
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. Do not drag a locked
wheel/tire while loading the
vehicle. Do not use a sling type
lift to tow the vehicle. This could
damage the vehicle.
GM recommends a flatbed tow truck
to transport a disabled vehicle. Use
ramps to help reduce approach
angles, if necessary. A towed
vehicle should have its drive wheels
off the ground. Contact Roadside
Assistance or 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 are
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" in Track Events and
Competitive Driving 014.
Tow Eye Socket
The ZL1 vehicle is equipped with a
front tow eye that can be used 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.
