.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
the air inlets at the base of the
windshield that may block the flow of air
into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
may adversely affect the performance of
the system.
.Keep the areas around the base of the
infotainment display and under the seats
clear to optimize air circulation.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter
reduces dust, pollen, and other airborne
irritants from outside air that are pulled into
the vehicle. Reductions in airflow, which
may occur more often in dusty areas,
indicate that the filter may need to be
replaced. See
Maintenance Schedule 0306.
Caution
Driving without a passenger compartment
air filter in place can cause water and
small particles, like paper and leaves, to
be pulled into your climate control
system which may cause damage to it.
Make sure you always replace the old
filter with a new one.
The passenger compartment air filter is
located under the hood between the battery
and windshield. See Underhood
Compartment Overview 0234.
To check or replace the air filter:

172 Driving and Operating
1. Ease off the accelerator and then,if there is nothing in the way, steer the
vehicle so that it straddles the edge of
the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn, until the right front
tire contacts the pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three control
systems:
.Braking Skid —wheels are not rolling.
.Steering or Cornering Skid —too much
speed or steering in a curve causes tires
to slip and lose cornering force.
.Acceleration Skid —too much throttle
causes the driving wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking
reasonable care suited to existing conditions,
and by not overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible. If the vehicle starts to slide, follow these
suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the accelerator pedal
and steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may straighten out. Be
ready for a second skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions. Stopping
distance can be longer and vehicle control
can be affected when traction is reduced
by water, snow, ice, gravel, or other
material on the road. Learn to recognize
warning clues
—such as enough water,
ice, or packed snow on the road to make
a mirrored surface —and slow down
when you have any doubt.
.Try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,
or braking, including reducing vehicle
speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide.
Remember: Antilock brakes help avoid only
the braking skid.
Track Events and Competitive
Driving
All Z06 models or Stingray models equipped
with Z51 performance package can be used
for track events and competitive driving. For
additional details on vehicle track
preparation, see Chevrolet.com > Corvette
Experience > Guides > Track Prep Guide.
{Danger
High-performance features are intended
for use only on closed tracks by
experienced and qualified drivers and
should not be used on public roads.
High-speed driving, aggressive cornering,
hard braking, and other high-performance
driving can be dangerous. Improper driver
inputs for the conditions may result in
loss of control of the vehicle, which could
injure or kill you or others. Always drive
safely.
Participating in track events or other
competitive driving without following the
instructions provided may affect the vehicle
warranty. See the warranty manual before

186 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
overheat, causing an engine compartment
fire or other damage. Spin the wheels as
little as possible and avoid going above
56 km/h (35 mph).
Rocking the Vehicle to Get it Out
Turn the steering wheel left and right to
clear the area around the front wheels. Turn
off any traction system. Shift back and forth
between R (Reverse) and a low forward gear,
spinning the wheels as little as possible. To
prevent transmission wear, wait until the
wheels stop spinning before shifting gears.
Release the accelerator pedal while shifting,
and press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when the transmission is in gear. Slowly
spinning the wheels in the forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking motion
that could free the vehicle. If that does not
get the vehicle out after a few tries, it may
need to be towed out. If the vehicle does
need to be towed out, seeTransporting a
Disabled Vehicle 0293.
Vehicle Load Limits
It is very important to know how much
weight the vehicle can carry. This
weight is called the vehicle capacity
weight and includes the weight of all
occupants, cargo, and all
nonfactory-installed options. Two labels
on the vehicle may show how much
weight it may properly carry: the Tire
and Loading Information label and the
Certification label.
{Warning
Do not load the vehicle any heavier
than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the maximum
front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). This can cause
systems to break and change the
way the vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a crash.
Overloading can also reduce stopping
performance, damage the tires, and
shorten the life of the vehicle.
Tire and Loading Information Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Tire and Loading
Information label is attached to the
center pillar (B-pillar). This label shows
the number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum vehicle
capacity weight (2) in kilograms and
pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information label
also shows the size of the original
equipment tires (3) and the
recommended cold tire inflation

indicator on the center shift console will
flash red to indicate that the vehicle is in
Double Paddle Declutch. In addition, the
current gear state indicator in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) may change to
flashing blue to indicate that the vehicle is
in Double Paddle Declutch. To exit Double
Paddle Declutch, release both the + paddle
and −paddle. The engine will reconnect to
the wheels and the shift indicator will stop
flashing. There are two Double Paddle
Declutch exit styles:
Standard Exit : Engine power is reapplied to
the wheels gently to support normal vehicle
operation on public roads. This occurs when
paddles are released under any of the these
conditions:
.Accelerator pedal is fully released
.Vehicle speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph)

Launch Control (Sport and Track
Mode Only)
A Launch Control feature is available, within
Competitive Driving Mode or PTM, on all
vehicles to allow the driver to achieve high
levels of vehicle acceleration in a straight
line. Launch Control is a form of TCS that
manages tire spin, and transmissions clutch,
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.
Caution
The new vehicle break-in period should be
completed before using the launch
control feature, otherwise performance
will be limited and damage may occur to
the powertrain/engine. SeeNew Vehicle
Break-In 0189.
Launch Control is only available when the
following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode or any of the
PTM Modes are selected (if equipped). See
Driver Mode Control 0208.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The vehicle must be in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode).
.The parking brake must not be engaged.
Launching the Vehicle
.Ensure the vehicle is in Competitive
Driving Mode or any of the PTM modes.
.The brake pedal must be firmly pressed
to the floor, equivalent to a panic brake
event.
.While maintaining the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal is rapidly applied to
wide open throttle. If the vehicle rolls due
to wide open throttle or engine speed
does not exceed 3,000 Revolutions Per
Minute (RPM), release the throttle, press
the brake pedal more firmly, and reapply
the accelerator to wide open throttle.
The Launch Control feature initially limits
engine speed as the driver rapidly applies
the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle.
Allow the engine RPMs to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the brake pedal,
while maintaining the fully pressed
accelerator pedal, will manage tire slip and
transmissions clutch. After the vehicle is
launched, the system continues in
Competitive Driving Mode or PTM.
Custom Launch Control
If equipped, Custom Launch Control allows
the following parameters for Launch Control
to be modified:
.Launch RPM
.Slip Target (5%–15%)
Adjusting the Launch RPM will also change
the behavior of the transmission during the
start of the launch. The higher the Launch
RPM, the faster the clutch will be applied
resulting in greater acceleration. This
parameter can be used to match the launch
behavior to the available tire traction. If the
driving wheels spin excessively during the
launch, reduce the Launch RPM.
To adjust the Launch RPM, all of these
conditions must be met:
.Competitive Driving Mode or any of the
PTM Modes are selected (if equipped). See
Driver Mode Control 0208.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.
.The vehicle must be in D (Drive) or
M (Manual Mode).
.The parking brake must not be engaged.
