This comprehensive PDF file contains the complete, original owner’s manual for the 2006 Chevrolet SSR (Super Sport Roadster). As the final production year for this modern classic, the 2006 SSR is highly sought after for its retro design, its clever retractable hardtop, and the inclusion of the massive 6.0-liter LS2 Corvette engine (which replaced the earlier 5.3L). This detailed guide is absolutely essential for owners and collectors to fully utilize the vehicle’s highly specialized features, understand its unique roof and cargo mechanisms, and follow the specific maintenance routines required to keep this bold hot-rod truck running flawlessly.
The manual covers the following key topics in detail:
- Vehicle Overview and the Retractable Hardtop: A detailed introduction to the SSR’s unique exterior and interior features. Most importantly, it provides the exact, step-by-step procedure for safely operating the complex power retractable hardtop, including warnings about the necessary clearance required for the top to function. It also extensively details safety systems, including proper seatbelt usage, the frontal and side-impact airbags, and the passenger sensing system.
- Cargo Bed and Tonneau Cover Operation: Because the SSR is a pickup, the manual provides crucial instructions on operating the hard tonneau cover and the tailgate. It details how to manually release the cover in an emergency, how to utilize the cargo bed tie-downs, and how to operate the unique saddlebag storage compartments (if equipped).
- Instruments and Controls: A full breakdown of the retro-themed dashboard layout. It explains every warning light, the analog instrument cluster gauges (including the auxiliary gauge pod mounted in front of the shifter), and how to use the steering wheel-mounted controls to safely operate the cruise control and audio systems.
- Comfort and Technology: Detailed instructions for operating the interior convenience features. It covers the manual climate control systems and the factory audio system, including the available Bose premium sound system and CD changer.
- Driving and Operating: Best practices for starting and driving the vehicle. It covers operating the 4-speed automatic transmission or the highly desirable Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. It also details the function of essential driving aids, including the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and the Traction Control system.
- Vehicle Care and Maintenance: Step-by-step scheduled maintenance guidance utilizing the GM Oil Life System. It includes instructions for checking vital fluids on the powerful 390-horsepower (400-hp with the manual transmission) 6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine, checking tire pressures for the staggered wheel setup, replacing filters, deciphering the fuse box diagrams, and handling roadside emergencies (including the use of the tire sealant and compressor kit, as the SSR does not carry a spare tire).
Whether you need to manually release the tonneau cover, figure out how to program a new keyless entry remote, or locate the correct fuse for the power roof mechanism, this manual is a vital resource for mastering your 2006 Chevrolet SSR.
