NOTICE:
Your modern Corvette doesn’t need
an elaborate “break-in.” But it will
perform better in the long run if you
follow these guidelines:
0 Keep your speed at 55 mph
(88 km/h) or less for the first
500 miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed
- fast or slow - for the
fist
500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle
starts.
Avoid malung hard stops for
the first
200 miles (322 km)
or so. During this time your
new brake linings
aren’t yet
broken in.
Hard stops with
new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
“breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new
brake linings.

Ignition Switch
With the ignition key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the switch to five
positions:
Acc (A): Position in which you can
operate your electrical power accessories.
Press in the ignition switch as you turn
the top of it toward you.
Lock (B): The only position in which
you can remove the key. This locks your
steering wheel, ignition and automatic
transmission.
If you have an automatic transmission, tht
ignition switch can’t be turned to “Lock”
unless the shift lever
is in the “P” (Park)
position.
... 46
Off (C): Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition and automatic transmission, but
does not send electrical power to any
accessories. Use
this position if your
vehicle must be pushed
or towed.
Run (D): Position to which the switch
returns after you start your engine and
release the switch. The switch stays in
the “Run” position when the engine is
running. But even when the engine is not
running, you can use “Run” to operate
your electrical power accessories and to
display some instrument panel warning
and indicator lights.
Start (E): Starts the engine. When the
engine
starts, release the key. The ignition
switch will return to “Run” for normal
driving.
When the engine is not running, “Acc”
and “Run” allow you to operate your
slectrical accessories, such as the radio.
A warning tone will sound if you open
the driver’s door when the ignition is in
“Off,’’ “Lock” or “Acc” and the key is in
the ignition.

..
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.

from the center to
the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling discs. Pick up discs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge of

2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral
spirits or an equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe the cloth over the mast, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe the mast dry with a clean cloth.
5. Turn the radio off and on to make the
antenna go down and up.
If the antenna is still dirty, repeat the steps.
