level up to the bottom
of the filler
plug hole.
3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug
is fully seated.
Hydraulic Clutch
The clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder
reservoir is filled with hydraulic clutch
fluid.
It isn’t a good idea to “top
off’ your
clutch fluid. Adding fluid won’t correct a
leak.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate
a problem. Have the system inspected and
repaired.
When to Check and What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine how often you should check
the fluid level in your clutch master
cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See
“Owner Checks and Services’’ and
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in the Index.
How to Check and Add Fluid
The clutch master cylinder is under the
Engine Control Module
(ECM) in the left
rear area of the engine compartment.
To check the fluid, look at the area
between the
ECM and the battery.
To add fluid, remove the ECM unit.

Every new Corvette has a Delco
Freedom@ battery.
You never have to add
water to one of these. When it’s time for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco
Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the catalog number shown on the original
battery’s label. For battery replacement,
see your dealer or the Corvette Service
Manual.
To purchase a service manual,
see “Service Publications” in the Index.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle
for
25 days or more, take off the black,
negative
(-) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from running
down. Contact your
dealer to learn how to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulb,
see “Replacement Bulbs” in the Index.
Halogen Bulbs

You can also open the headlights
