Your vehicle has a theft deterrent system.
See “Universal Theft Deterrent” in the
Index.
Passive Keyless Entry System
With Passive Keyless Entry (PJSE), your
vehicle will disarm or
arm your theft
deterrent system and lock or unlock your
doors when you are about three to seven
feet (one to two meters) away, if you are
carrying the PKE transmitter. Your
Corvette was shipped with one
PKE
transmitter, but up to three can be
matched to your vehicle. See “Matching
Transmitters to Your Vehicle” later in this
section.
Your Passive Keyless Entry system
operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules. This
device complies with
Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Should interference to this system occur,
try this:
Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has
a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
See your Chevrolet dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use this equipment.

Transmitter Range
The transmitter range depends on your
vehicle and where you are standing. The
coupe
(A) has an antenna in the driver’s
door and one in the rear area. The
convertible
(B) has one antenna in each
door. The antennas do not require any
maintenance.
Range also depends on how you hold
the transmitter. For best performance,
when you come near your vehicle, hold
the transmitter straight up and down,
so
the keys hang down.
If the range seems to be decreasing,
check the battery
in the transmitter.
Range will decrease if the battery is
low. It will also decrease if more than
one transmitter is in the area. Don’t put
the transmitter in a metal container
because the transmitter won’t work.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
?urchased through your dealer.
Remember to bring any remaining
:ransmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter
to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the new
transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many
different vehicles as you own, provided
they are equipped with exactly the same
model -system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these
systems on their vehicles.) Each vehicle
can have only three transmitters
matched to it.
To match transmitters to your
vehicle:
1. Move all transmitters out of range.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Push “TRIP ODO’ on the Driver
Information Center twice.
4. Within five seconds press and hold
“FUEL INFO’ until the “PASSIVE
KEYLESS ENTRY” light comes on.
5. Turn the ignition off, but leave the
key in the ignition. The “PASSIVE
KEYLESS ENTRY” light should
begin to flash to show the system is
in programming mode.

light will stop flashing and stay on to
show that the code is stored.
7. Move the transmitter out of range.

transmitters.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your
key chain transmitter should last about
18 months.
You can tell the battery is weak if the
transmitter won’t work at
the normal
range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it’s probably time to
change the battery.
ro replace your battery:
I. Insert a screwdriver in the slot on the
back
of the transmitter and gently pry
apart the front and back.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the
transmitter using the screwdriver.
3. Put the new battery in the transmitter,
positive
(+) side up. Use a Duracell@
battery, type DL2450, or equivalent.
4. Put the two halves back together.
Make sure the halves are together
tightly
so water won’t get in.
5. Test the transmitter.

Every new Corvette has a Delco
Freedom@ battery.
You never have to add
water to one of these. When it’s time for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco
Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the catalog number shown on the original
battery’s label. For battery replacement,
see your dealer or the Corvette Service
Manual.
To purchase a service manual,
see “Service Publications” in the Index.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle
for
25 days or more, take off the black,
negative
(-) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from running
down. Contact your
dealer to learn how to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulb,
see “Replacement Bulbs” in the Index.
