0 Automatic Overdrive

This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you’re: - Going less than about 35 mph

(56 kmh), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down.

- Going about 35 mph (56 km/h) or

more, push the accelerator all the way down.

You’ll shift down to the next gear and have more power. D (Third Gear)

This is like 0 , but you never go into Overdrive. Here are some times you might choose “D’ instead of 0 : - When driving on hilly, winding roads - When going down a steep hill

2 (Second Gear)

This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can use “2” on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on.

NOTICE: Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km), or at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your transmission. Use or “D” as much as possible. Don’t shift into “2” unless you are going slower than 65 mph (1 05 km/h), or you can damage your engine.

0 1 (First Gear) This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy) than “2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put ir “1,” the transmission won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.

NOTICE: If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transmission. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transmission. Use your brakes or shift into “P” (Park) to hold your vehicle in position on a hill.

Maximum engine speed is limited to protect driveline components from improper operation.

I Manual Transmission six-Speed ?his is your shift pattern. Here’s how to bperate your transmission:

1 (First Gear) - Press the clutch pedal and shift into “ 1 .” Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal. You can shift into ‘‘ 1 ” when you’re going less than 40 mph (64 km/h). If you’ve come to a complete stop and it’s hard to shift into “1,” put the shift lever in “Neutral” and let up on the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into “1.”

A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change. To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow start to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever will return b! itself when you release it. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs. ... 62

Headlight High/..ow Beam To change the headlights from low beam to high or high to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way toward you. Then release it. When the high beams are on, this blue light on the instrument panel also will be on.

Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by turning the band with the wiper symbol on it. For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to “MIST.” Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the band on “MIST” longer. You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to “LO,” the shorter the delay.

For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the “LO’ position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to “HI.” To stop the wipers, move the band to “OW.” Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Windshield Washer At the top of the turn signal lever there’s a paddle with the word “PUSH’ on it. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, just push the paddle for less than a second. The washer will continue to spray until you release the paddle. The wipers will clear the window and stop or return to the previous setting. If you hold the paddle for more than a second, the washer will spray until you release the paddle.

Features and Controls

NOTICE:

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water. Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid. Fill your washer fluid tank only 314 full when it’s very cold. This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is completely full. Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It can damage your washer system and paint.

>wise Control Vith Cruise Control, you can maintain a peed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or nore without keeping your foot on the ccelerator. This can really help on long ips. Cruise Control does not work at peeds below about 25 mph (40 kmh). Vhen you apply your brakes or push the lutch pedal, or if ASR is active, the bise Control shuts off.

To Set Cruise Control 1. Turn the Cruise Control switch on.

2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Push in the set button at the end of the

lever and release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal.

To Resume a Set Speed Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake or clutch pedal. This, of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you ca~ move the Cruise Control switch to “WA” (Resume/Accelerate) for about ha1 a second. You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. To Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first: 1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the

higher speed.

2. Push the button at the end of the lever,

then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.

Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed: 1. Move the Cruise switch to W A . ” Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to “WA” for less than half a second and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about one mph (1.6 km/h) faster.

To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: 1.

Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go one mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Features and Controls Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control speed you set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise Control on steep hills.

:o Get Out of Cruise Control ’here are several ways to turn off the bise Control: . Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transmission; OR

Operation of Lights

4lthough your vehicle’s lighting system :headlights, parking lights, fog lamps, sidemarker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal lighting requirements, 2ertain states and provinces may apply their own lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog lamps only when your lower beam headlights are also on, or that headlights be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

If a new odometer is installed, it will automatically reset to the correct reading. If an electrical or other problem makes setting the odometer correctly impossible, then it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed.

Trip Odometer The trip odometer can tell you how far your Corvette has been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero. To display the trip odometer, press “TRIP ODO” on the Trip Monitor. To reset it, press and hold “RESET TRIP” for two seconds.

LT5 Engine

Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Fuel will shut off at 7200 rpm for the LT5 (Code J) engine and at 5850 rpm for the LTl (Code P) engine.

Features and Controls

When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gauges shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gauges. They’re a big help. Your vehicle also has a driver information center that works along with the warning lights and gauges. See “Driver Information Center’’ in the Index.

Gauge Markings The analog gauges provide a quick visual reference to the actual measurement of these gauges. However, you must keep in mind that the gauges aren’t linear. This means that the middle mark is not a temperature halfway between the top and bottom temperatures on the gauge. For example, the middle mark on the coolant gauge represents 210°F, not 180°F as you might expect.

System Problems If “SYS” flashes on the display near your fuel gauge, there may be a problem with your Corvette’s electrical system. If the “SECURITY” light flashes at the same time, there is a problem with your theft deterrent system. Have your vehicle checked by your dealer if “SYS’ keeps appearing.

Warning Lights, Gauges and Indicators

This section describes the warning lights and gauges that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gauges can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gauges could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gauges can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gauges and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.

Brake System Warning Light Your Corvette’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. This light should come on as you start thc vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If this warning light stays on, there could be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light With anti-lock, this light will come on when you start your engine and may stay on for about two seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is i problem.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your Corvette needs service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.

LOWIFLAT

TIRE

The Low Tire Pressure Warning System (LTPWS) monitors air pressure in each road tire while you’re driving your Corvette. The “LOW/FLAT TIRE” light will come on whenever tire pressure in any road tire goes below 25 psi (175 kPa) and it will stay on until you turn off the ignition. The light may come on if any LTPWS parts aren’t working properly.

87 ...

Features and Controls For LTPWS to work properly, you must drive your Corvette faster than 25 mph (40 km/h) and for more than 2 miles (4 km). The system will not warn you before you begin to drive that a tire is flat. When the “LOW/FLAT TIRE’ light comes on, check the tire pressure in all four road tires as soon as you can. Adjust the tire pressure as needed to those shown on the Tire-Loading Information label on the driver’s door. If the light stays on after the tire pressure is adjusted, see your dealer.

NOTICE: Driving with a flat tire may damage the tire, the wheel or the tire pressure sensor installed inside the tire on the wheel rim. Using tire sealants may also damage the sensor. If you have EMTs, see “Extended Mobility Tires” in the Index.

The LTPWS sensor is directly opposite the valve stem on the tire. Take care when servicing or having your tires serviced. The sensors may not work properly if damaged. To prevent damage to the sensors, see the 1994 Corvette Service Manual for correct tire mounting and dismounting procedures. The “LOWRLAT TIRE” light may come on if your vehicle is close to another vehicle that has LTPWS and has a tire with low pressure. LTPWS can warn you about a low tire, but it does not replace normal tire maintenance. See “Tires” in the Index.
