190 Driving and Operating
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period should be
completed before performing the brake
burnishing procedure or damage may
occur to the powertrain/engine. SeeNew
Vehicle Break-In 0202.
When performed as instructed, this
procedure will not damage the brakes.
During the burnishing procedure, the brake
pads will smoke and produce an odor. The
braking force and pedal travel may increase.
After the procedure is complete, the brake
pads may appear white at the rotor contact.
Run this procedure in a safe manner and in
compliance with all local and state
ordinances/laws regarding motor vehicle
operation. Run this procedure only on dry
pavement. Racing/Track Brake Burnishing ProcedureCaution
Brake fade will occur during this track
burnish procedure and can cause brake
pedal travel and force to increase. This
could extend stopping distance until the
brakes are fully burnished.
1. Apply the brakes 25 times starting at 100 km/h (60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph)
while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a
medium brake application. Drive for at
least 1 km (0.6 mi) between applying the
brakes. This first step may be skipped if
there are more than 320 km (200 mi) on
the brake pads.
2. Repeatedly apply the brakes from 100 km/h (60 mph) to 25 km/h (15 mph)
while decelerating at 0.8 g. This is a hard
brake application, without activating the
Antilock Brake System (ABS). Drive for at
least 1 km (0.6 mi) between stops. Repeat
until the brake pedal travel starts to
increase. Depending on conditions, this
should take no longer than 25 brake
applications. 3. Cool down: Drive at 100 km/h (60 mph)
for approximately 15 km (10 mi) without
using the brakes.
4. Apply the brakes 25 times from 100 km/h (60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph)
while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a
medium brake application. Drive for at
least 1 km (0.6 mi) between applications.
Front Tire Deflectors, Lower Control Arm
Deflectors, and Disc Splash Shields
(SS Only)
Before any racing event, remove the tire
deflectors in the front of the vehicle, and
replace the original deflector and splash
shield with the tall deflector and small
splash shield.
Caution
Race track driving with the original front
disc brake splash shield and front tire
deflector may result in brake pedal fade
due to high rotor temperatures.

Driving and Operating 191
To install the tall deflector and small splash
shield:
1. Remove the tire deflector.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the calipers (3) from the knuckle.
4. Remove the brake rotors (2).
5. Remove the original front splashshields (1).
6. Remove the lower control arm deflectors.
7. Detach the wheel speed sensor harness clips from the lower control arm
deflector.8. Install the small splash shields with twoscrews (2) per corner. Torque to 9 Y
(80 lb inch).
Caution
Failure to reattach the wheel speed
sensor harness clips correctly could cause
interference with the wheel speed sensor,
and could damage the vehicle.
9. Re-attach the wheel speed sensor harness clips by pushing them from the
bottom up, on the back tab. On the
original deflector, the push pins are
pushed from the top down.

10. Install the tall deflectors with threescrews (1) per corner. Torque to 3.3 Y
(29 lb inch).
When installing new control arms,
torque the three screws to 4.5 Y
(40 lb inch).
11. Install the front rotors with one screw per corner. Torque to 9 Y(80 lb inch).
12. Apply liquid thread adhesive to the
caliper bolts (GM Part No. 9985399 –
Loctite 272 –Goodwrench 12345493).
Install the calipers with two screws (1)
per corner. Torque the caliper bolts to
200 Y (148 lb ft). 13. Reinstall the front wheels using the
wheel nut torque. See Capacities and
Specifications 0323.
Caution
After a track event, remove the tall
deflector and the small splash shield and
reinstall the original deflector and splash
shield. Failure to reinstall the original
parts may lead to corrosion, loss of
output, noise, premature brake pad and
rotor wear, reduced high-speed wet
braking, and damage to the tall deflector.
14. After a track event, repeat the steps to reinstall the original lower control arm
deflectors and splash shields. 15. Reinstall the tire deflectors.
Custom Launch Control (If Equipped)
Custom Launch Control allows the following
parameters for Launch Control to be
modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
.Surface Type
To adjust the Launch RPM, all of these
conditions must be met:
.The vehicle must be in Track Mode. See
“Track Mode” underDriver Mode Control
0 219.
.Performance Traction Management (PTM)
Mode must be enabled. For convertibles,
and SS equipped with 10-speed automatic,
Competitive Driving Mode must be
enabled. See Driver Mode Control 0219.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The transmission must be in a gear other
than R (Reverse). It will work in P (Park)
or N (Neutral).
.The parking brake must not be engaged.
For more information on Competitive Driving
Mode, see Competitive Driving Mode (SS,
ZL1 and 1LE Models Only) 0223.

304 Vehicle Care
Caution (Continued)
or brushes. Use only GM approved
cleaners. Do not drive the vehicle through
an automatic car wash that uses silicon
carbide tire/wheel cleaning brushes.
Damage could occur and the repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Brake System
Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for
proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear
and rotors for surface condition. Inspect
drum brake linings/shoes for wear or cracks.
Inspect all other brake parts.
Steering, Suspension, and Chassis
Components
Visually inspect steering, suspension, and
chassis components for damaged, loose,
or missing parts or signs of wear at least
once a year.
Inspect power steering for proper
attachment, connections, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc.Visually check constant velocity joint boots
and axle seals for leaks.
Body Component Lubrication
Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood hinges,
liftgate hinges, and steel fuel door hinge
unless the components are plastic. Applying
silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean
cloth will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak.
Underbody Maintenance
At least twice a year, spring and fall, use
plain water to flush any corrosive materials
from the underbody. Take care to
thoroughly clean any areas where mud and
other debris can collect.
Do not directly power wash the rear axle
output seals. High pressure water can
overcome the seals and contaminate the
rear axle fluid. Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the axle and should be
replaced.
Sheet Metal Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet
metal repair or replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to parts repaired or replaced to
restore corrosion protection.Original manufacturer replacement parts will
provide the corrosion protection while
maintaining the vehicle warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and scratches
with touch-up materials available from your
dealer to avoid corrosion. Larger areas of
finish damage can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack
painted vehicle surfaces causing blotchy,
ring-shaped discolorations, and small,
irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface. See
“Finish Care” previously in this
section.
Interior Care
To prevent dirt particle abrasions, regularly
clean the vehicle's interior. Immediately
remove any soils. Newspapers or dark
garments can transfer color to the vehicle’s
interior.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove dust from
knobs and crevices on the instrument
cluster. Using a mild soap solution,
immediately remove hand lotions,
