HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING FEATURES
7-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
1-to-4 Shift Feature – To help achieve the best possible fuel economy, the Driver Information Center will display 1–4 SHIFT when, from a standstill, acceleration and
vehicle qualifications are met. When the shift message is displayed, t\
he transmission can be shifted only from 1st to 4th gear. Forcing the shift lever into any o\
ther gear may damage the transmission.

Press either REV MATCH paddle on the steering wheel to activate or deactivate the
system. When active, the current gear is displayed in amber on the instr\
ument cluster.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
RUN-FLAT TIRES
The run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. The tire desig\
n enables safe func-tion during and after loss of pressure for some distance at a moderate s\
peed. Driving only a short distance with a loss of pressure increases the chance that \
the tire can be repaired. Contact Roadside Assistance for the nearest run-flat tire se\
rvicing facility.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fi\
ll the tires to the proper tire pressures as listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located b\
elow the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Informati\
on Center.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.\
GROOVE TRACKING
The wide tires on the Corvette provide sure-footed grip and excellent ro\
ad feel; however, the wider design may be more susceptible to grooves or wear patterns on \
some roads.
TIRE CHATTER
During hard, slow turns, such as parking, the difference in steering ang\
le of the tires may cause one tire to slide or hop lightly to keep up. This hop of the wide \
tires may cause a chatter sound. The sound will stop as the wheels are straightened.
BRAKE DUST
The high-performance brake materials and large size of the brakes may re\
sult in a fine dust coating the outer surface of the wheels. Wash the wheels with regul\
ar soap and water to remove the dust. Automatic car washes are not recommended.
DRY SUMP OIL LEVEL INSPECTION (ZR1, Z06, GRAND SPORT, STINGRAY WITH Z51\
)
To check the oil level, run the engine to operating temperature. Turn of\
f the engine and wait 5–10 minutes. Check the oil level on the dipstick located on\
top of the
external oil tank.
Note: Overfilling the oil tank may lead to an oil leak or engine failure. The initial oil change should be performed at 500 miles for proper dry sump engine break-in. Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40 engine oil is recommended for Corvette oil changes.
