Seat Belts
Lap-Shoulder Belt
On coupe models, the driver seat belt has a
shoulder belt retractor lock feature. 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.

4. Using the hex feature on the top of themount, turn the top 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 seal cap 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 seat bolt. Donot completely remove the bolt.
3. Turn the spring perch upward to increase spring preload, or downward to decrease
spring preload.
4. Torque the spring seat bolt to 10 Y
(7.4 lb ft).
5. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following the spring seat
adjustment.

Engine Oil
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 027 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
checking a cold engine prior to starting.
Remove the dipstick and check the level.
.If unable to wait two hours, the engine
must be off for at least 15 minutes if the
engine is warm, or at least 30 minutes if
the engine is not warm. Pull out the
dipstick, wipe it with a clean paper towel
or cloth, then push it back in all the way.
Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.
When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at
the tip of the dipstick and the engine has
been off for at least 15 minutes, add 1 L (1
qt) of the recommended oil and then
recheck the level. See
“Selecting the Right
Engine Oil” later in this section for an
explanation of what kind of oil to use. For
engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities
and Specifications 043.

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. Use tire skates or dollies
under any locked wheel/tire while
loading the vehicle. Do not use a sling
type lift to tow the vehicle. This could
damage the vehicle.
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
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
caution and low speeds. The transmission
must be in (N) Neutral when moving 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.

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.
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.
