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.
Operation
You don’t have to do anything for PKE to work when
the passive feature is on. Just walk toward your vehicle
with the
PKE transmitter, and the system will
automatically disarm your theft-deterrent system and
unlock the doors.
If it’s dark enough outside, your
interior lamps will come on.
If you move out of range, the PKE system will:
1. Lock the doors after five seconds.
2. Arm the theft-deterrent system.
3. Sound the horn to let you know the doors are locked.
4. Turn off the interior lamps.
You can also use the buttons on the transmitter. Press
DOOR to open the passenger’s door or HATCH to open
the hatch. The HATCH button will only work when the
ignition is off.
The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If you leave your keys
in the ignition and lock the doors, the system will unlock
the doors as soon as they are closed. If you leave the
keys in the ignition and move away with the transmitter,
the doors still will not lock. You should notice that the
horn doesn’t sound and return to get your keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system will allow you to lock your keys in the
vehicle if you didn’t leave them in the ignition. You
should, however, be able to use the transmitter to get
them out. After
26 seconds of no motion, the transmitter
shuts down to save the battery. Wait about
30 seconds,
then rock the vehicle. The transmitter should “wake
up”
and unlock the doors.
This system can’t guarantee that you’ll never be locked
out of your vehicle. If the battery is low or if the
transmitter is in a place where the signal can’t get to the
antenna, it won’t unlock the doors. Always remember to
take your keys with you.
PKE Settings
You can use the system for both doors or just the
driver’s door, or you can turn the system
off.
To change door settings:
1. Put the ignition key in the ignition, but don’t turn it
2. Press DOOR on the transmitter until the door locks
on.
cycle
(about two seconds).
To turn the system off:
1. Take the ignition key out of the ignition.
2. Press DOOR on the transmitter until the door locks
cycle (about two seconds).
To turn the system back on, just repeat the steps.
To check that the system is
off, turn on the ignition. The
PASSIVE
KEYLESS ENTRY light on the Driver
Information Center should not come on. If the light does
come on for a second or two, then the PKE system is
still on.
You can also check whether the system is on or
off by
closing the door and walking away with the keys and
transmitter. If the doors lock, the system is on.
If you are working around your vehicle and keeping
your keys with you, you might want to
turn the PKE
system
off. If you don’t, the transmitter will keep
locking and unlocking your doors.

If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs.

The headlamp doors are designed to open when you
turn the headlamps on and close when you turn the
headlamps and parking lamps off. If you turn the
headlamps on, then turn the headlamp switch back to
the parking lamps setting, the headlamp doors will stay
open. You
can open the doors manually using the knob next to
the headlamp assembly. Turn the knob counterclockwise
until the doors are open.
The headlamp doors should be open when driving in icy
or snowy conditions to prevent the doors from freezing
closed and when washing the vehicle to help clean the
headlamps.
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be
on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t
be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will go out and your headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your front turn signal lamps come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system any time you need
it.
Fog Lamps
Use your fog lamps for
better vision in foggy or
misty conditions. Your
parking lamps
or
low-beam headlamps must
be on or your fog lamps
won’t work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button. Push the
button again
to turn the fog lamps off. A light above the
button will come on when the fog lamps are on.

SERVICE
LTPWS
The amber SERVICE
LTPWS light comes on
whenever a LTPWS part is
not working properly. It
may also come on when
you’re going less than
25 mph (40 km/h) or in
stop-and-go traffic.
The light will
go out when the electronic receiver gets a
signal from each sensor.
Check the system by turning the ignition on. The light
should come on and then
go out. See your dealer if the
light stays on or doesn’t come on.
Here
are two situations that cause the SERVICE LTPWS
light to come on and stay on. Both of these situations are
normal and do qot indicate that anything is wrong with
your Corvette.
You turn the ignition on three times in a row for half
an hour without moving your Corvette. The light will
then come on every time you turn the ignition on
until you move your Corvette.
You run your Corvette three times for half an hour
while all four sensors
are missing. (All the sensors
would be missing, for example, if you put different
wheels on your Corvette without transferring the
sensors.)
If you would like to clear the SERVICE LTPWS light
from your driver information center permanently, see
your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, even when the
vehicle is driven, there may be a problem with LTPWS.
See your dealer.
Door Ajar Light
This red light comes on
when you open one of the
doors with the ignition on.
It stays on until you fully
close the door. Have your
vehicle serviced
if the light
comes on and stays on even
when the doors are fully
closed.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat.
If they aren't, they may not operate
properly or cause failure of the tape player.
'
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound
quality, try a known good cassette to see
if the tape or
the tape player is at fault. If this other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It
is normal for the cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert
the cassette at least
3 times to ensure thorough cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is available through
your Chevrolet dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing
type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is in
good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
