seconds while you are on the blank page at the end of
the OPTIONS menu. The message FOB TRAINING
will be displayed. See ªMatching Transmitter(s) To
Your Vehicleº in the Index for more information.
TIRE TRAINING (Except Z06): The Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) operates with battery
-powered sensors
that are located inside the valve stems on each tire.
Each sensor has a unique ID code so the vehicle knows
the tire location of the sensor. When the vehicle reaches
a speed of greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors
begin to send the tire pressure readings to a receiver
inside the vehicle. These readings are displayed when
using the GAGES button on the DIC. If you are
unable to display your tire pressures while the vehicle
speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), you may
need to have your sensor ID codes learned by the
vehicle. See your dealer.

SERVICE COLUMN LOCK (Manual Transmission
Only): If the system that controls the locking and
unlocking of the steering column does not work
properly, have the vehicle towed to a dealer for service.
PULL KEY
- WAIT 10 SEC (Manual Transmission
Only): If this message comes on, the steering column
lock system has detected a problem while engaging the
steering column lock. This message may occur when
the ignition key is removed and reinserted before the
steering column lock system fully locks or unlocks the
steering column. To acknowledge that you have read
this message, and to clear it from the display, remove
the ignition key and wait 10 seconds before reinserting
the key into the ignition. If you attempt to operate
your vehicle without removing the key for 10 seconds,
the vehicle's fuel system will shut off when you reach
1.5 mph (2.4 km/h). If the message stays on after
removing the key and waiting 10 seconds, have your
vehicle taken to an authorized dealer as soon as possible
for diagnosis and repair.LOW OIL PRESSURE: You will hear four chimes
and the CHECK GAGES telltale will come on when
this message is displayed. To acknowledge the warning,
press the RESET button. After you press the RESET
button, a message will be displayed and you will hear a
chime every minute until the vehicle is serviced. If you
do not press RESET, the message will remain on the
digital display until the vehicle is serviced.
Low oil pressure may be the result of a combination
of low oil level and abrupt changes in the vehicle's
direction. When this warning is displayed, you should
not operate the engine at high rpm or make fast abrupt
moves. As soon as possible, you should check the oil
level. See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
LOW OIL LEVEL: Press RESET to acknowledge
that you have read the message and to remove it from
the display. The message will reappear every 10 minutes
until this condition changes. Once the vehicle senses
a temperature change in the engine oil, the light will
remain off.
You will hear two chimes when this message is
displayed. If this message appears after starting your
engine, your engine oil level may be too low. You may
need to add oil. See ªEngine Overheatingº in the Index.

According to the American Medical Association, a
180
-lb. (82 kg) person who drinks three 12-ounce
(355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a
BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the
same BAC by drinking three 4
-ounce (120 ml) glasses
of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1
-1/2 ounces
(45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
It's the amount of alcohol that counts. For example,
if the same person drank three double martinis
(3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an hour,
the person's BAC would be close to 0.12 percent.
A person who consumes food just before or during
drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level.
There is a gender difference, too. Women generally have
a lower relative percentage of body water than men.
Since alcohol is carried in body water, this means that
a woman generally will reach a higher BAC level than a
man of her same body weight when each has the same
number of drinks.
The law in an increasing number of U.S. states, and
throughout Canada, sets the legal limit at 0.08 percent.
In some other countries, the limit is even lower.
For example, it is 0.05 percent in both France and
Germany. The BAC limit for all commercial drivers
in the United States is 0.04 percent.
The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to
six drinks (in one hour). Of course, as we've seen,
it depends on how much alcohol is in the drinks,
and how quickly the person drinks them.

Hazard Warning Flashers
Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They
also let police know you have a problem. Your front and
rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
The hazard warning flasher
button is located on the
instrument panel above the
audio system.
Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what
position your key is in, and even if the key isn't in
the ignition.
Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal
lamps flash on and off. Press the button again to turn
the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn
signals won't work.
Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up
at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind
your vehicle.

Power Steering Fluid
When to Check Power Steering Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and
repaired. See ªEngine Compartment Overviewº in the
Index for reservoir location.
How to Check Power Steering Fluid
Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool down,
wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean, then
unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove
the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.
The level should be at the FULL COLD mark. If necessary,
add only enough fluid to bring the level up to the mark.

When the engine
compartment is hot,
the level should be at
the HOT mark.

When the engine
compartment is cool,
the level should be at
the FULL COLD mark.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see ªRecommended
Fluids and Lubricantsº in the Index. Always use the proper
fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and
damage hoses and seals.

Used Replacement Wheels
CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is dangerous.
You can't know how it's been used or how far it's
been driven. It could fail suddenly and cause a
crash. If you have to replace a wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Using the Wheel Lock Key
If you have a Z06, the wheel lock key sits in a small
depression in the trunk rail on the left side, underneath
the carpeting.
If you have a coupe or a convertible, the wheel lock key
sits in a small depression in the trunk rail directly under
the left rear compartment cover.Your vehicle's wheel lock key has a unique registration
number. The registration number is printed on a card
included in your lock nut package. Also on this card is
lost key replacement information. This number is not
recorded by GM or your dealer, so be sure not to lose
this card. You will need the information if you ever lose
your wheel lock key.
If you or someone else is going to remove the wheels on
your vehicle, make sure that the special wheel lock key
is being used to remove the wheel locks.NOTICE:
Your wheel lock key or lock nuts could be
damaged if an air or impact wrench is used
with this key.
