66 Seats and Restraints
Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in
the Vehicle
{Warning
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle. Secure
the child restraint properly in the vehicle
using the vehicle seat belt, following the
instructions that came with that child
restraint and the instructions in this
manual.
To help reduce the chance of injury, the
child restraint must be secured in the
vehicle. Child restraints must be secured in
vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt
portion of a lap-shoulder belt, or by the
LATCH system. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH System) 066 for
more information. Never use a seat belt
extender when installing a child restraint.
Use only seats and related equipment that
are certified to comply with US Federal or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to
secure a child restraint. Children can be
endangered in a crash if the child restraint is
not properly secured in the vehicle. When securing an add-on child restraint,
refer to the following:
1. Instruction labels provided on the child restraint
2. Instruction manual provided with the child restraint
3. This vehicle owner's manual
The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not available,
obtain a replacement copy from the
manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle.
Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle —even when no
child is in it.
In some areas of the United States and
Canada, Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technicians (CPSTs) are available to inspect
and demonstrate how to correctly use and
install child restraints. In the U.S., refer to
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to locate
the nearest child safety seat inspection
station. For CPST availability in Canada,
check with Transport Canada or the
Provincial Ministry of Transportation office
Securing the Child Within the Child
Restraint
{Warning
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. Secure the
child properly following the instructions
that came with that child restraint.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
Some child restraints have a LATCH system.
As part of the LATCH system, your child
restraint may have lower attachments and/
or a top tether. The LATCH system can help
hold the child restraint in place during
driving or in a crash. Some vehicles have
lower and/or top tether anchors designed to
secure a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top tether are
designed to be used whether the top tether
is anchored or not. Other child restraints
require that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require that the
top tether be anchored.
Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
15342622) - 2022 - CRC - 5/4/21
Seats and Restraints 67
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have a top
tether, and that the tether be attached.
Your vehicle does not have lower anchors or
top tether anchors to secure a child restraint
with the LATCH system. If a national or local
law requires that your top tether be
anchored, do not use a child restraint in this
vehicle because a top tether cannot be
properly anchored. You must use the seat
belts to secure your child restraint in this
vehicle, unless a national or local law
requires that the top tether be anchored.
Refer to the child restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for securing a
child restraint using the vehicle's seat belts.
SeeSecuring Child Restraints 067.
Securing Child Restraints
This vehicle has airbags. In addition, the
vehicle has a passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger Sensing
System 057 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 085 for
more information, including important
safety information. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the
front. This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if the airbag
deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
inflates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very
close to the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe. No
one can guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints in a
rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If you
secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard passenger seat,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
always move the seat as far back as it
will go. It is better to secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
SeePassenger Sensing System 057 for
additional information.
Rear-facing child restraints should not be
installed in the vehicle, even if the airbag
is off.
Do not secure a child seat in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have a top
tether, and that the tether be attached.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following instructions: 1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before securing the forward-facing child
restraint. Move the seat upward or the
Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

68 Seats and Restraints
seatback to an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight installation of
the child restraint.
The push button used to release the
latch plate must be visible and not
obscured by the child restraint. There
must not be direct contact of the child
restraint to the push button.
When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, the OFF indicator on the
passenger airbag status indicator should
light and stay lit when you start the
vehicle. SeePassenger Airbag Status
Indicator 085.2. Be sure that the shoulder belt is routed
through the seat belt guide. See
Lap-Shoulder Belt 049 for proper belt
routing.
3. Put the child restraint on the seat.
4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the restraint. The
child restraint instructions will show
you how.
5. Push the latch plate into the buckle untilit clicks.
Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child restraint, so
that the seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
6. Pull the shoulder belt all the way out ofthe retractor to set the lock. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled out of the
retractor.

7. To tighten the belt, push down on thechild restraint, pull the shoulder portion
of the belt to tighten the lap portion of
the belt, and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. When installing a
forward-facing child restraint, it may be
helpful to use your knee to push down
on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the retractor
to make sure the retractor is locked.
If the retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 6 and 7. 8. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the child restraint
at the seat belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back and forth.
When the child restraint is properly
installed, there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
If the airbag is off, the OFF indicator in the
passenger airbag status indicator will come
on and stay on when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed and
the ON indicator is lit, see “If the On
Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint ”under
Passenger Sensing System 057.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the
vehicle seat belt and let it return to the
stowed position.

Starting and Operating
New Vehicle Break-In
Follow these recommended guidelines
during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi) of driving
this vehicle. Parts have a break-in period and
performance will be better in the long run. During the first 800 km (500 mi), engine
torque will be limited in low gears.
For the first 322 km (200 mi):
.To break in new tires, drive at moderate
speeds and avoid hard cornering.
.New brake linings also need a break-in
period. Avoid making hard stops. This is
recommended every time brake linings
are replaced.
For the first 800 km (500 mi):
.Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops.
.Do not exceed 4000 rpm.
.Avoid driving at any one constant speed,
fast or slow, including the use of cruise
control.
.Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the
vehicle when the engine speed will
exceed 4000 rpm.
.Do not let the engine labor. Never lug the
engine. This rule applies at all times, not
just during the break-in period.
For the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi):
.Do not participate in track events, sport
driving schools, or similar activities.
.Check engine oil with every refueling and
add if necessary. Oil and fuel
consumption may be higher than normal.
