Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed:

Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A for less than half a second and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 l d h ) faster.

To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: Push in the button at tlze end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 W h ) slower.

Features & Controls

Using Cruise. Control on HMs. How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon y ~ u r 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 zt lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake or dutch pedal takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills.

Ti Get Out of Cruk Control There are several ways to turn off the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transmission; OR Move the cruise switch to OFF; OR * When the ASR systern.is4 activated, it will turn off the cruise control. For information about the ASR system, see the lndex under Accekatiotz Slip Regulation (ASR) System.

To Erase Cruise Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or *the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Operation of Lights Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps, side marker lamps and taillamps) meets all applicable federal lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate these lamps. For exampk, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower beam lamps with fog lamps at all times, or that headlamps be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps, especially at dawn or dusk It is recommended that you check with your own state or provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations. ?O

Gages can indicate when there may be or 3s a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.. Often gages and ,warning lights work together to let you h o w when theze’s a, problem with your vehicle, When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when youwe driving, or when one of-the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to de about itr Please follow the manuaI’s advice. Waiting to .do repairs can be costly-and even dangerous. So please get ta h o w your warning lights and gages. They’wa big help. Your vehicle also has a Driver Infomation, Center that works .along with the warning lights and gages. See the Index under Driver Infomzatlcrn Center.

Fuel Gage Your fuel gage bars light up when the- ignition ken, -or if the ignition is off, wken you turn on your.parking lights, to’ show you about how much fuel you have left.. When the normal display -is ,down to .the last two bars, the message RESERVE will appear on the left of the-:gag.e.

Here are threethings that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your bel gage: At. the gas station, the gas pump shuts .off be€ore the gage reads F (Full). It takes a little more or. less fu.el to fill up than the gage indicated. For .example., the gage may have. indicated -t-he tank was half full, but it actually t0.olr.a 1.ittle more or. less than half the tanlr’s capacity to ‘fill the tank.

Low 7ire Pressure Warning Light (OPTION) The LTPWS has a sensor 'on each road wheel that transmits-to a receiver on the instrument panel. The system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Cbmission (FCC) Ruks. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interhence, and (2) This device.must accept any interhence received, including interference that-may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications to- this system by other than an authorized service

facility could void authorization to use this equipment. The Low Tre Pressure Warning System (LTPWS) monitors the air pressure in each road tire (except the spare tire) while the car is being driven. The LTFWS will not warn the driver if a tire is already flat before the vehicle is started. This light comes on whenever a tire pressure goes below 25 psi (I 75 Ha) in any road tire while your Corvette is being driven. You must drive the car faster than 25 mph (40 km/h) and for more than 2 miles (4 h) -for the system to work properly. The Low Tire Pressure Warming Light also warns you if any of the system's comp.onents-are not working properly. The LOW TIRE PRESSURE light will remain on until the ignition is turned off. This will also reset the system.

When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE fight comes on, check the tire -pressure .in all four road tires as soon as you can, using the tire pre:ssure gage.provided in thesenter console. Adjust the tire pressure as needed to those shown on the Tire-Loading Information label 10-cated on the driver's door, The LOW TIRE PRESSURE light may come on if your vehicle is close to aaother vehicle that has a Low Tire Pressure Warning System and has a tire-with low pressure. The LTPWS sensor is directly opposite the valve stem on the tire. Take extreme care when servicing or having your tires serviced. The sensors may not work properly if damaged. . . If you need to take the tire off the wheel, do it at a 90" angle from the valve stem. Removing the tire from the wheel at any
