High-Performance Driving Features

Refer to your Owner Manual for important safety information about using the high-performance driving features.

Traction Control and Stability Control Systems

The Traction Control system limits wheelspin and the Stability Control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on 

automatically every time the vehicle is started. The Traction Control/Stability Control button is located on the center console.

Press the button once to turn off Traction Control.

Press and hold the button to turn off both Traction Control and Stability Control.

Press the button again to turn on Traction Control and Stability Control.

Driver Mode Selector

The five driver modes provide enhanced performance for different driving conditions  by changing the throttle progression, shift mode, steering, limited slip differential, ride

control, traction control, exhaust sound, instrument cluster theme and other calibrations

(if equipped).

Rotate the Driver Mode Selector, located on the center console, to scroll through the modes of Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track on the instrument cluster.

Note: Allow a few seconds for the changes to be activated before the current mode is displayed.

Competitive Driving Mode and Performance Traction Management F

Competitive Driving Mode allows full engine power while Stability Control helps maintain directional control of the vehicle.

Performance Traction Management F  offers five modes of operation, all designed to 

provide consistent performance when cornering in a variety of track conditions.

When in the Track mode, press the Traction Control/Stability Control button twice to activate Competitive Driving Mode or Performance Traction Management.

Rotate the Driver Mode Selector to scroll through each Performance Traction

Management mode on the instrument cluster.

8-Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission

While in Drive (D), use either paddle on the steering wheel to temporarily take control of gear selection. Automatic shifting returns after 10 seconds of cruising at steady speeds and no manual shifts, or when the vehicle stops.

Pull the right paddle to upshift and the left paddle to downshift. The current gear will be displayed on the instrument cluster or HUD F .

Move the shift lever to the Manual Mode

(M) position and use the paddles to manually upshift or downshift the transmission.

If current vehicle speed is too fast or too slow for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.

Note: It is normal for shift feel to be firm for the first 100 miles as the transmission controls learn and adapt.

F Optional equipment See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

13

High-Performance Driving Features

7-Speed Manual Transmission

1-to-4 Shift Feature: Helps achieve the best possible fuel economy. The DIC will display

1–4 SHIFT when, from a standstill, acceleration and vehicle qualifications are met. When  the shift message is displayed, the transmission can be shifted only from 1st to 4th gear.

Forcing the shift lever into any other gear may damage the transmission.

Active Rev Match: Aids in smoother shifting by matching the engine speed to the next selected gear.

Press either REV MATCH paddle on the steering wheel to activate or deactivate the

system. When active, the current gear is displayed in amber on the instrument cluster.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Run-Flat Tires

The run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. The tire design enables safe function  during and after loss of pressure for some distance at a moderate speed. Driving only a short distance with a loss of pressure increases the chance that the tire can be repaired.

Contact Roadside Assistance for the nearest run-flat tire servicing facility.

Tire Pressure Monitor

The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire  pressures as listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed in the DIC.

Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure

 warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and  then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.

Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.

Groove Tracking

The wide tires on the Corvette provide sure-footed grip and excellent road feel; however, the wider design may be more susceptible to grooves or wear patterns on some roads.

Tire Chatter

During hard, slow turns, such as parking, the difference in steering angle of the tires may cause one tire to slide or hop lightly to keep up. This hop of the wide tires may cause a chatter sound. The noise will stop as the wheels are straightened.

Brake Dust

The high-performance brake materials and large size of the brakes may result in a fine  dust coating the outer surface of the wheels. Wash the wheels with regular soap and water to remove the dust. Automatic car washes are not recommended.

Z06, Grand Sport and Stingray with Z51 Dry Oil Sump Level Inspection

To check the oil level, run the engine to operating temperature. Turn off the engine and wait 5–10 minutes. Check the oil level on the dipstick located on top of the

external oil tank.

Note: Overfilling the oil tank may lead to an oil leak or engine failure. The initial oil change should be performed at 500 miles for proper dry sump engine break-in.

See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.

Low Ground Clearance/Front CurbView Camera

F

The low ground clearance of the Corvette aids its aerodynamic efficiency. As a result, the  lower part of the front fascia (bumper) may contact a parking block or curb if the vehicle is parked too closely. Use care when parking to avoid damage.

At speeds slower than 5 mph, the Front CurbView Camera F displays a front, top-down view and left- and right-front view images of the area in front of the vehicle.

Press the Camera icon on the touch screen to activate the front cameras.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Coupe Roof Panel

The removable roof panel is secured with two front levers and one rear lever. It may be necessary to have two people remove the roof panel. When removed, secure the roof panel facing forward in the receivers in the rear storage compartment. During installation, the rear edge of the panel should be installed first. See your Owner Manual for  instructions.

See Keys, Doors and Windows in your Owner Manual.
