Service
All vehicles have a label underhood that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system requires periodic
maintenance. See Maintenance Schedule
0 306.

using the vehicle for racing or other
competitive driving. SeeCompetitive Driving
Mode 0215.
{Warning
Some of the adjustments and procedures
specified in this section may require
specialized skill, training, and equipment.
Failure to perform these procedures
properly could cause malfunction,
potentially resulting in death, personal
injury, or damage to the vehicle or
property. Do not attempt to perform
these adjustments or procedures unless
properly qualified.
Be sure to follow all service procedures
before driving the vehicle at track events or
competitively. See New Vehicle Break-In
0 189.
{Warning
Prior to each track event and again
before returning to public roads, tighten
the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specification. Wheel
nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
tightened can cause the wheels to
become loose or come off, resulting in a
crash. SeeCapacities and Specifications
0 315 for wheel nut torque specifications.
For Z06 vehicles only, remove the front
license plate and bracket (if installed) and
remove the front aero covers before track
use. See your dealer for complete procedure.
Engine Sound Management Setting
Caution
Do not place the vehicle in Engine Sound
Management–Stealth mode. Damage
could result to exhaust valve actuators.
Engine Oil
Caution
If the vehicle is used for track events and
competitive driving, the engine may use
more oil than it would with normal use.
Low oil levels can damage the engine.
Check the oil level often and maintain
the proper level. See Engine Oil (5.5L LT6
Engine) 0242 or
Engine Oil (6.2L LT2 Engine) 0245.
Check the oil level often during track events
and competitive driving. See “Checking the
Engine Oil" in Engine Oil (5.5L LT6 Engine)
0 242 or
Engine Oil (6.2L LT2 Engine) 0245.

174 Driving and Operating
Engine Cooling
If reduced performance is experienced during
track events or competitive driving, turning
off the A/C will help to improve engine
performance.
Maintain a mixture of 40% DEX-COOL
coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to
optimize engine performance.
Fuel
Unleaded gasoline, rated at 93 octane or
higher, is required.
Caution
Some high octane fuels contain additives
and compounds that may damage the
vehicle and void the vehicle warranty. See
Prohibited Fuels0227.
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Fluid
The transmission fluid and external canister
filter should be changed after every 24 hours
of track use. Change the fluid and external
canister filter as soon as possible if
prompted by the transmission fluid life
monitor that remaining fluid life is low. Stingray
Add an additional 2 L (2 qt) of DCT
transmission fluid before track use. It is not
required to remove the additional 2 L (2 qt)
of DCT fluid after the track event.
Any transmission level set or change should
be performed at your dealer.
Z06
Additional transmission fluid is not required
for the Z06. The Z06 comes track ready
from the factory.
Brakes
Battery Disconnect
Disconnect the battery before servicing the
hydraulic brake system. It is critical to
disconnect the battery before bleeding the
system, replacing the pads, or any other
work. The battery must be disconnected to
prevent the brake master cylinder from
pressurizing the hydraulic system during its
automated self diagnostic tests that can
occur when a door is opened or the remote
key is present.
{Warning
To avoid personal injury and/or vehicle
damage, always disconnect the battery
before performing service work on the
hydraulic brake system. Bleeding the
brake system with the battery connected
can lead to the system diagnosing a leak
or air in the braking system. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) may set and vehicle
speed may be limited.
Brake Fluid
Replace existing brake fluid with a qualified
high performance DOT 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container. Brake fluid with a dry
boiling point >310 °C (590 °F) is qualified.
If high performance brake fluid is used,
replace it with GM approved brake fluid
before driving on public roads. If high
performance brake fluid is in the vehicle and
the age of the brake fluid is over a month
old or unknown, replace the brake fluid
before track events and competitive driving.
Do not use silicone or DOT-5 brake fluids.
Check the fluid level before each competitive
driving event.

16287457) - 2023 - CRC - 3/10/22
Driving and Operating 175
Brake System Flushing and Bleeding
The J55, J56, and J57 brake systems require
specific processes for bleeding and fluid
flushing. These can be found in the service
manual.
Properly bleeding the brake system is
required for proper operation of the
hydraulic brake system.
Brake Leak Detection
The hydraulic braking system has advanced
diagnostic capability to help detect hydraulic
leaks, trapped air, and other performance
issues. These diagnostics are active when
the hydraulic system is powered. To avoid
inadvertently setting a leak DTC, disconnect
the battery before servicing the brake
system.
If the vehicle sets a DTC related to a brake
system leak, the Brake System Warning
Light will come on and vehicle speed may
be limited to 100 kph (62 mph). Any time a
leak DTC is set, the vehicle should be
inspected carefully for evidence of a leak
and should be repaired immediately. See
your dealer.Brake Fade Warning Assist
The Brake Fade Warning Assist system
monitors brake system performance. If the
system detects brake fade, or if the brake
fluid is near the boiling point, the driver will
be alerted.
The Brake Fade Warning Assist system is
designed for use with the factory-installed
brake pads or GM approved replacement
pads. If the brake pads on the vehicle need
to be replaced, use GM approved brake
pads. If this is not done, the brake fade
warning system may not function properly.
Stage 1 :
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays a “Reduce Braking to Avoid
Overheating” message, a chime sounds and
brake pedal effort and travel is increased.
When the message displays, the driver
should back up braking points and reduce
brake usage in order to reduce brake
temperature. This will allow for continued
lapping with no speed limitations. Stage 2 :
The Driver Information Center
(DIC) displays a “Brakes Overheated Service
Now” message, a chime sounds, and brake
pedal effort and travel is further increased.
This code indicates that the brake fluid
temperature is excessive and is about to
boil. The system limits vehicle speed to
100KPH/62MPH. The driver should
immediately start a cool down lap if on the
track. If this message displays, the vehicle
needs to be serviced. The brake system
needs to cool down, and the brake fluid
must be immediately flushed with DOT4 for
street use, or to a qualified DOT4 race fluid
for track use. Boiled brake fluid is
compromised and must be replaced.
Brake Burnishing
Caution
Performing the brake burnish procedure
on a base brake system can result in
brake damage.
