-Matching Transmitter(§) to Your
Vehicle
Your Corvette comes equipped from the
-factory with one Passive

your vehicle. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement
can be purchasdthrough
your dealer. Remember to bring the-
remaining. transmitter
(s) with you when
you
go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter
to
your vehicle, the remaining
transmitter(s)
must aIso be matched.
‘Once the new transmitter
is coded, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle.

allows up to thee transmitters
to be
matched to
your Corvette. Each
