System Problems
If the light above an air control button flashes when you
turn on the ignition, your system may have an electrical
problem. The flashing will continue for one minute, then
stop.
The flashing light could also mean the refrigerant level
is too low in your system. The light will continue to
flash, even if refrigerant is added, until the system is
reset. Have your system checked and serviced if needed.
To reset your system:
1. Turn your ignition key to OFF or LOCK.
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio fuses from the
main fuse panel and wait one minute. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index.

working properly. If you still have a problem, see your
dealer.

I
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window. The power mirrors
are also warmed when the rear window defogger is on.
Press the button with the defog symbol on it to turn on
the defogger. (The button is on the lower right on the
manual system and on the upper right on the automatic
system.) An indicator light will come on to remind you
that the defogger is
on. The defogger will turn off
automatically after about ten minutes of use. You can also
turn the defogger off by pressing the switch again
or by turning off the ignition.
Do not attach anything like a tempbrary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid
on the rear window.
I NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered
by your warranty.
Specially Treated Windshield (ZR-1)
Your ZR- 1 windshield is treated to reduce the amount of
solar heat entering your vehicle. It makes it easier for
your air conditioning system to keep you comfortable.
The windshield treatment reduces the effectiveness of
some carry-on electrical equipment. Therefore, there’s
an opening in the windshield treatment at the bottom
center of the windshield
so that carry-on electrical
equipment may be used.

Tips about Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes
of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to
a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
Press STOP-PLAY to stop playing the disc and
Press EJCT to eject the disc and switch to radio. If To
help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
-- 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.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection
you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Corvette, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lights that aren’t needed, and radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And
it could
save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on each.
