6 Instruments and Controls
This gauge indicates vacuum during light to
moderate throttle and boost under heavier
throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in the
intake manifold before it enters the engine's
combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered at zero
every time the engine is started. Actual
vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero
point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as
driving in mountains and changing weather,
will slightly change the zero reading.

16 Driving and Operating
Supplemental Power Steering Deflectors
The supplementary power steering
deflectors, if equipped, provide additional
cooling to the power steering gear during
track events. Remove the noise shields and
install the deflectors as directed by the
enclosed instruction sheet. Remove the
deflectors and reinstall the noise shields
immediately after track use to protect the
engine compartment from additional water
intrusion.
Adjustable Front Struts (ZL1 1LE Only)
Camber Position for Track Events
The front strut top mount can be positioned
two ways. The original setting is in the
street position, but it can be turned 180° to
the track position for additional negative
camber on the front.To adjust the position:
1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are slightly off the ground.
2. From the bottom side of the strut topmount, remove the Allen bolt that
secures the top mount alignment pin to
the top mount.
3. Remove the three strut mount bolts andthe alignment pin.

22 Driving and Operating
Performance Traction Management
(PTM) (ZL1 and SS 1LE)
PTM is not available on convertibles.
Convertibles have Competitive Driving Mode
instead. See“Competitive Driving Mode”
previously in this section.
PTM integrates the TCS, StabiliTrak/ESC, and
Competitive Driving Mode systems to
provide improved and consistent
performance when cornering. The amount of
available engine power is based on the
mode selected, track conditions, driver skill,
and radius of each corner.
These lights are on when the vehicle is in
PTM Mode.
With Track Mode engaged, select the
optional handling mode by pressing
Ytwo
times. A menu with the PTM modes will
appear.
.Wet
.Dry
.Sport 1
.Sport 2
.Race
To experience the performance benefit of
PTM, after entering a curve and at the point
where you would normally start to increase
acceleration, fully press the accelerator
pedal. The PTM system will modify the level
of engine power for a smooth and
consistent corner exit.
To select a mode while in PTM, press MODE
up or down.
PTM Wet
‐ Intended for all driver skill levels.
‐ Ideal for wet or damp conditions only;
not intended for heavy rain or standing
water.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is on and engine power is
reduced based on conditions.
PTM Dry
‐ For use by less experienced drivers or
while learning a new track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is on and engine power is
reduced based on conditions.

Driving and Operating 23
PTM Sport 1
‐For use by drivers familiar with the track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is on and more engine
power is available than lower modes.
PTM Sport 2
‐ For use by drivers familiar with the track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is off and engine power
available is the same as in Sport 1.
PTM Race
‐ For use by drivers familiar with the track.
‐ Dry conditions only.
‐ StabiliTrak/ESC is off and engine power is
available for maximum cornering speed.
In any PTM Mode, Launch Control is
available. Use PTM Race for the most
consistent performance during drag strip
use. See “Custom Launch Control” in Track
Events and Competitive Driving in the
owner’s manual.
Press and release
Yto turn off PTM and
return to TCS and StabiliTrak/ESC. The
traction off light
iand StabiliTrak/ESC OFF
light
gwill go out.
Launch Control
If equipped, Launch Control is available
within Competitive Driving Mode and
Performance Traction Management (PTM) to
allow high levels of vehicle acceleration in a
straight line. Launch Control is a form of
traction control that manages tire spin while
launching the vehicle. This feature is
intended for use during closed course race
events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are desirable.
Launch Control is only available when the
following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is selected or
any of the Performance Traction
Management modes are selected. The
traction off light comes on in the
instrument cluster and the appropriate
Driver Information Center (DIC) message
displays.
.The vehicle is not moving.
.The steering wheel is pointing straight.
Manual Transmissions
.The clutch is fully pressed and the
transmission is in 1 (First) gear.
.The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied
and held to wide open throttle. Launch Control will initially limit engine
speed as you rapidly apply the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the
engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth, quick
release of the clutch, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage
wheel slip.
Automatic Transmissions
.The brake pedal is firmly pressed to the
floor, equivalent to a panic brake event.
.The accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to
wide open throttle. If the vehicle rolls due
to wide open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal more
firmly, and re-apply the accelerator to
wide open throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit engine
speed as you rapidly apply the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the
engine rpm to stabilize. A smooth, quick
release of the brake pedal, while
maintaining the fully pressed accelerator
pedal, will manage wheel slip.
After the vehicle is launched, the system
continues in Competitive Driving Mode
or PTM.

sewers, or into streams or bodies of water.
Recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
Engine Air Filter Life System
If equipped, this feature provides the engine
air filter’s remaining life and best timing for
a change. The timing to change an engine
air filter depends on driving and
environmental conditions.
When to Change the Engine Air Filter
When the Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays a message to replace the engine air
filter at the next oil change, follow this
timing.
When the DIC displays a message to replace
the engine air filter soon, replace the engine
air filter at the earliest convenience.
The system must be reset after the engine
air filter is changed.
If the DIC displays a message to check the
engine air filter system, see your dealer.
How to Reset the Engine Air Filter Life
System
Reset the system whenever the engine air
filter is replaced so that the system can
calculate the next engine air filter change.
To reset:1. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
2. Select Engine Air Filter Life on the DIC menu. See “Driver Information Center
(DIC)” in the owner manual.
3. Press
pto move to the Reset/Disable
display area. Select Reset then press SEL.
Then press Yes to confirm the reset.
4. 100% Air Filter Life will be displayed when the Engine Air Filter Life System is
successfully reset.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is in the engine
compartment on the driver side of the
vehicle.
When to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/
Filter
.For intervals on changing and inspecting
the engine air filter, see “Maintenance
Schedule” in the owner’s manual.
.If equipped with Engine Air Filter Life
System, see Engine Air Filter Life System
0 30.
.If driving in very dusty areas, follow the
engine air filter inspecting and changing
intervals, see “Maintenance Schedule” in
the owner’s manual.
How to Inspect/Replace the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
