36 Vehicle Care
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" inTrack
Events and Competitive Driving 012.
Tow Eye Socket
Caution
Improper use of the tow eye can damage
the vehicle. If equipped, use the tow eye
to load a disabled vehicle onto a flatbed
tow truck from a flat road surface, or to
move the vehicle a short distance. Use
caution and low speeds. The transmission
must be in (N) Neutral when moving the
vehicle.
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.
3. When finished, place the tow eye back inthe vehicle.

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.
