ing wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key

restart when you’re already moving,
use
“N” (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park) if your
Corvette is moving. If you do, you
could damage the transmission. Shift
to
“P” (Park) only when your vehicle
is stopped.
ManuaI Transmission: The gear selector
should be
in neutral. Hold the clutch
pedal to the

T VOLTS I
Voltmeter
You can read the charging system’s rate of
charge on your voltmeter when your
engine is running. When the engine is not
running, the voltmeter shows the voltage
output of yQur battery.
Readings between the shaded areas show
the normal operating range. The reading
will change as the rate of charge changes
(with engine speed, for example), but if
the voltmeter reads
in either shaded area,
and it stays there, you may have a
problem with the charging system. Have
it checked right away. Driving with the
voltmeter reading in a shaded area could
drain your battery. If you must
drive a short distance with the
voltmeter reading
in a shaded area, turn
off all your accessories, including your
comfort controls and audio systems.
For numeric gauge measurements,
press the
“GAUGES’’ button on the
Trip Monitor until “VOLt” appears.
The number that appears next to the fuel
gauge is

Ventilation Tips

..
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducini
the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold
weather, adjust the fan to the highest
speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.

Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been
designed to operate easily and give years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the
most enjoyment out of
it if you acquaint
yourself with it first. Find out what your
Delco@ system can do and how to operate
all its controls, to be sure you’re getting
the most out of the advanced engineering
that went into it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment
to your
;chicle - like a tape player,
CB radio, mobile telephone or two-
way radio
- be sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very
important to do it properly. Added
sound equipment may interfere
with the operation of your vehicle’s
engine, Delco@ radio or other systems, and even damage them. And, your
vehicle’s systems may interfere with
the operation of sound equipment
that has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment,
check with your dealer and be sure to
check Federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.
