If you put things in the hatchback
area, be sure they won’t break the
glass when
you close it.
Never slam the hatch down. You
could break the glass or damage the
defogger grid.
When you close the hatch, make sure
you pull down from the center, not
the sides. If you pull the hatch down
1 from the side too often, the weather-
1 strip can be damaged.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in
;ome cities. Although your Corvette has a
lumber of theft-deterrent features, we
mow that nothing we put on
it can make
It impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
[f you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside, it’s an easy target for joy
riders or professional thieves
- so don’t
do it.
When you park your Corvette and open
the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
reminding you to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be
locked, and
so will your ignition. If you
have an automatic transmission, taking
your key out also locks your transmission.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows
and lock your vehicle. Remember to keep
your valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it’s best to lock it
up and take your keys. But what if you
have to leave your ignition key? What
if
you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area,
0 Lock the storage area.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.

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

ro Erase Speed Memory
Nhen you turn off the Cruise Control or
he ignition, your Cruise Control set speed
nemory is erased.
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.
