Owner's Manual

Put the jack, wheel nut socket and wheel lock key in the
rear storage compartment behind the passenger’s seat.
Make sure the parts are stored properly in the foam
container. Position the jack in the container
so that you
can read the yellow CAUTION label fromthe driver’s
seat. Replace the plastic tray and close the storage
compartment.
NOTICE:
Your Corvette’s radio receiver box is in the rear
storage compartment.
To help avoid damage,
carefully place the jack, socket and wheel lock
key into the foam container in the compartment.
Do not toss or place the items against the radio
receiver box or any wiring.
Compact Spare Tire (If So Equipped)
Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when
your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check
the’inflation pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi
(420 Wa).
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure your spare
tire is correctly inflated. The compact spare is made to
perform well at posted speed limits for distances up to
3,000 miles (5 OOO km), so you can finish your trip and
have your full-size tire repaired or replaced where you
want.
Of course, it’s best to replace your spare with a
full-size tire as soon
as you can. Your spare will last
longer and
be in good shape in case you need it again.
When the compact spare is installed, your
vehicle’s handling capabilities will be reduced
during severe maneuvers.
If you drive too fast,
you could lose control
of your vehicle. You or
others could be injured. Don’t drive over
55 mph
(90 km/h) when the compact spare is installed.
