Extended Mobility Tires (Emt); Tire Pressure Monitor; Motor Oil - Chevrolet CORVETTE 2008 Getting To Know Manual

PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
Mobil 1

Motor Oil

®
Your Corvette comes factory-filled with
Mobil 1 with Super Syn motor oil.
®
Corvette's computer system monitors
the life of the oil to inform you when it
needs to be changed.
To view the remaining oil life, press the
TRIP button repeatedly until Oil Life
appears in the DIC display. The oil life
monitor is programmed to correspond to
the attributes of Mobil 1 with Super Syn.
If you use any motor oil other than
Mobil 1 or equivalent synthetic oil, the
oil life monitoring system will not be
accurate.
Whenever your oil is changed, press
and hold the RESET button while Oil
Life is displayed in the DIC display to
reset the oil life monitor. The system will
reset to 100% and calculate when the
next oil change is required.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Extended Mobility Tires (EMT)

The Corvette is equipped with Run-Flat
Goodyear Extended Mobility Tires (EMT)
that eliminate the need for a spare. The
tire design enables safe function during
and after loss of pressure for some
distance at a moderate speed. The
shorter the distance that you drive with
loss of pressure, the better the chance
that the tire can be repaired.
As soon as possible, contact Roadside
Assistance for the nearest authorized
GM or run-flat tire servicing facility and
have the tire inspected.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitor

(if equipped)
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle's
tires by illuminating the
pressure) warning light on the instrument
panel cluster. The low tire pressure
warning light will remain on until you
correct the tire pressure.
A CHECK LOW TIRE PRESSURE
message may also appear on the DIC
(if equipped).
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper tire inflation pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they're cold. "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive the vehicle. This
could be an early indicator that your tire
pressures are getting low and need to
be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn't replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
