SCV/VOL: The inside lcnob turns the
unit on and
off when the ignition is on
and adjusts volume up or down.
SCV (Speed-Compensated Volume):
This three-position control ring will
automatically compensate for the
increase in road noise levels
at higher
speeds. At normal driving speed, set
the volume control
as desired.
Switching to
L (Low) or H (High)
causes the volume
to increase as your
speed increases.

maximum volume than the low
position. The
high position will also
increase the volume faster.
Use the low
position when driving with the roof
panel
on, or the convertible top up and
the windows closed. The high position
is best when driving with the roof panel
off, or the convertible top down and the
windows open.

Cleaning Your Convertible Top
Hand washing your Corvette's
convertible
t.op is highly recommended
and the most preferred-method of
cleaning. Although most automatic
vehicle washes will not harm
the top's
fabric, vehicle washes mtith water
jets
and hanging cloths are preferred to
those using
heavy barrel brushes.
Carefully vacuuming the convertible
top
before washing will help rem'ove excess
dust and other foreign particlesi
Wash
the vehicle in partial shade rather
than direct sunlight. U-se a sponge to
wet the entire vihicle with a 1uluiwa-m
mild soap solution. Using a- chamois or
cloth will leave
lint -on the top and using
a
brush may abrade the threads in the
top's material. Wash the top uniformly
to avoid spots
or rings. Let the soap
solution remain on fabric fur two to five
minutes.
