40 Vehicle Care
Towing the Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not lash
or hook to suspension
components. Use the proper
straps around the tires to secure
the vehicle. Do not drag a locked
wheel/tire while loading the
vehicle. Do not use a sling type
lift to tow the vehicle. This could
damage the vehicle.
GM recommends a flatbed tow truck
to transport a disabled vehicle. Use
ramps to help reduce approach
angles, if necessary. A towed
vehicle should have its drive wheels
off the ground. Contact Roadside
Assistance or a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle must
be towed. To tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see
the owner
’s manual.SS 1LE, and ZL1 Only
Due to low ramp angles on ZL1 and
SS 1LE vehicles, use care when
loading the vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier. Front spring spacers are
provided for lifting the front
suspension if more clearance is
necessary when towing.
ZL1 1LE Only
Due to the high spring rate and
spring design used on ZL1 1LE
vehicles, spring spacers are not
provided. If more clearance is
needed when towing, raise the
adjustable spring seat to lift the front
suspension. See "Strut Spring Seat
Adjustment" in Track Events and
Competitive Driving 014.
Tow Eye Socket
The ZL1 vehicle is equipped with a
front tow eye that can be used to
pull the vehicle onto a flatbed car
carrier from a flat road surface. Do
not use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle from snow, mud, or sand.
The tow eye is in the rear
compartment storage area.
To install the tow eye:
1. Locate the tow eye socket through the opening in the
grille.
2. Install the tow eye into the socket by turning it clockwise
until it stops.

Appearance Care
Exterior Care
Automatic Car Washes
Do not use automatic car washes.
Vehicles with the ZL1 or the 1LE
package (or any accessory ground
effects package) have reduced
ground clearance.
Caution
Vehicles equipped with an
accessory ground effects
package have reduced ground
clearance. Damage can occur in
automatic car washes, when
approaching curbs, or on steep
inclines. Do not use automatic car
washes. Approach curbs and
inclines with caution.
Caution
Stepping on the rocker molding
could damage the molding. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not step
on the rocker molding.

42 Vehicle Care
Caution
Using wax on low gloss black
finish stripes can increase the
gloss level and create a
non-uniform finish. Clean low
gloss stripes with soap and
water only.
It is not recommended that the ZL1
hood extractor be waxed, as it will
change the gloss level of the
surface. In addition, care must be
used when waxing around the hood
extractor. If a small amount of wax
is applied to the hood extractor it
can create an irregular appearance
in the surface of the panel. If wax,
debris, or other materials create
stains on the hood extractor, see
your dealer for the recommended
cleaner.
There is a water deflector on the
underside of the hood extractor.
Remove it for track use only.
Hood Wrap (1LE Only)
Caring for Vehicle Graphics
Wash regularly.
. Wash whenever the car appears
dirty. Contaminants allowed to
remain on the graphic may be
more difficult to remove during
cleaning.
. Rinse off as much dirt and grit
as possible with a spray of
water. .
Never scrub the hood wrap
surface.
. Use a wet, non-abrasive
detergent.
. Do not buff or apply polishes to
the hood wrap.
. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water. To reduce water spotting,
immediately use a silicone
squeegee to remove water.
Finish with a clean microfiber
cloth.
Pressure Washing
. Ensure the water pressure is
kept below 14,000 kPa
(2,000 psi).
. Keep water temperature below
80 °C (180 °F).
. Use a spray nozzle with a
40 degree wide angle spray
pattern.
. Keep the nozzle at least 30 cm
(1 ft) away from and
perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to
the graphic.

Vehicle Care 43
Finish Care
Application of aftermarket clearcoat
sealant/wax materials is not
recommended. If painted surfaces
are damaged, see your dealer to
have the damage assessed and
repaired. Foreign materials such as
calcium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from
industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage the vehicle's finish if they
remain on painted surfaces. Wash
the vehicle as soon as possible.
If necessary, use non-abrasive
cleaners that are marked safe for
painted surfaces to remove foreign
matter.
Occasional hand waxing or mild
polishing should be done to remove
residue from the paint finish. See
your dealer for approved cleaning
products.Do not apply waxes or polishes to
uncoated plastic, vinyl, flat paint,
or matte or textured finishes as
damage can occur.
Caution
Machine compounding or
aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish
may damage it. Use only
non-abrasive waxes and polishes
that are made for a basecoat/
clearcoat paint finish on the
vehicle.
To keep the paint finish looking new,
keep the vehicle garaged or
covered whenever possible.
ZL1 1LE Spoiler
It is not recommended that the
ZL1 1LE spoiler be waxed, as it will
change the gloss level of the
surface. In addition, care must be
used when waxing around the
spoiler. If a small amount of wax is
applied to the spoiler it can create
an irregular appearance to the
surface of the panel. If wax, debris,
or other materials create stains on
the spoiler, see your dealer for the
recommended cleaner.
