Side-Impact Air Bags
Side-impact air bags(1) are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. Not available on 1LT, 1LZ and 1ZR trim levels.
Air Bags
Every Corvette is equipped with standard driver and right-front passenger frontal air bags.(1) Side-impact air bags (in select models) are designed to help reduce the risk of injury to front-seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.
Passenger Sensing System
Standard on every Corvette, the Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the front passenger air bag(1) on or off based on the passenger´s weight and the type of pressure on the seat. A lighted indicator is located on the rearview mirror.
Four-Wheel ABS
Both coupe and convertible feature standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes that help prevent wheel lockup during braking in most slippery road conditions. Z51 Performance Package shown.
Z06 Braking System
Z06 employs monoblock six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers. Each piston utilizes its own pad. The opposing pistons operate in pairs, applying brake pressure equally to each side of the rotor. The extra-large 14-inch front rotors and 13.4-inch rears are vented and cross-drilled.
OnStar
Every Corvette provides peace of mind with OnStar(2) (standard for one year) to help protect you and your family on the road with nine safety and security features. An OnStar Advisor is always ready to help in a variety of situations, whether you´ve locked your keys your car(3) or have a flat tire. And with Automatic Crash Response, if you´re in involved in certain types of collisions, built-in sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor who is immediately connected into your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact location.
Active Handling System
The Active Handling System is an electronic symphony of Traction Control and antilock brakes along with microcomputers, accelerometers and stability sensors. While no system can overcome the laws of physics, Active Handling compares driver steering input with actual vehicle response. When necessary, it uses individual wheel brake application, the Traction Control System and Magnetic Selective Ride Control (standard on ZR1; available on coupe and convertible) to maximize the driver's ability to maintain stability and stay on track. NEW for 2009: variable-ratio steering is standard on all models.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The standard DIC helps keep you up to date on various functions of your Corvette. The display is located inside the gauge cluster, includes a Tire Pressure Monitor, and conveys trip information and calculations. You´ll also get personalized settings such as door-lock functionality and keyless access preferences. Readouts are in six languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese.
Extended Mobility Tires
Every Corvette is equipped with "Run-Flat" Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) that help eliminate the need for a spare. The tire design helps enable safe function during and after loss of pressure for up to 100 miles of continuous driving at 55 mph. Keep in mind that the shorter the distance you drive with the loss of pressure, the better the chance the tire can be repaired.
Xenon High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps
The low-beam headlamps have a spread pattern that is wider than conventional taillamps. And at 900 lumens, they provide significant forward lighting power. |
