Before Leaving On A Long Trip - Chevrolet 2007 Corvette Owner's Manual

Before Leaving on a Long Trip

Make sure you are ready. Try to be well rested.
If you must start when you are not fresh — such
as after a day's work — do not plan to make
too many miles that first part of the journey.
Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can
easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it is ready to go. If it
needs service, have it done before starting out.
Of course, you will find experienced and able
service experts in GM dealerships all across
North America. They will be ready and willing to
help if you need it.

Here are some things you can check before a trip:
•
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir
full? Are all windows clean inside and outside?
•
Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
•
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you
checked all levels?
•
Lamps: Are they all working? Are the
lenses clean?
•
Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough
for long-distance driving? Are the tires
all inflated to the recommended pressure?
•
Weather Forecasts: What is the weather
outlook along your route? Should you
delay your trip a short time to avoid a major
storm system?
•
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?
