Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your WA system uses a continually changing code
for increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your
vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the
following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If
so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index).
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on your transmitter
at the same time and hold for seven seconds. This
will attempt to resynchronize the security code in
your RFA key fob transmitter.
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
Loss of synchronization will occur after transmitter
battery replacement or disconnection of the
vehicle’s battery.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the
transmitter to the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key fob transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased
through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement transmitter
to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also
be matched. Once your dealer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only three transmitters
matched to it.
To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Clear any warning messages on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) by pressing the
RESET button.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC several times
until the blank page is displayed, then press and hold
the RESET button for two seconds.
4. When the message FOB TRAINING is displayed,
push the RESET button once. The message HOLD
LK + UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Push the lever up to INT (intermittent), then turn
the band, located on the lever, to adjust the delay time.
Rotate the band up for
a shorter delay, down for a longer
delay. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the
lever is
in the INT position, not in HI or LO.
For steady wiping at low speed, move the lever up to
the
LO position. For steady high-speed wiping, move
the lever up further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the
lever down to
OFF.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them.
If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear
away snow or ice
to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
The lever on the right side of your steering column also
controls your windshield washer. At the end of the lever
there is a push button.
To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the button and hold it. The washer
will spray until you release the button. The wipers will
continue to clear the window for about six seconds after
the button is released and then stop or return to your
preset speed.
A CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
If the fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir is
low, the message
LOW WASHER FLUID will appear
on the Driver Information Center display. It will take
60 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this message
to turn
off. For information on the correct washer fluid
mixture to use, see “Windshield Washer Fluid” and
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants’’ in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake or clutch pedal. This, of
course, disengages the cruise control. But you don’t
need to reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch to FUA
(Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second. The DIC
will display the cruise set speed.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
The speed will not begin to increase until sufficient
pedal travel is achieved. Push
the button at the end of
2.
ihe lever, then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
The DIC will display
the cruise set speed.
Move the cruise switch to
FUA. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, then release the
switch.
To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to
R/A for less than half
a second, then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 kmk) faster.
The DIC will display the cruise set speed.

Your inside rearview mirror includes two reading lamps.
The lamps will go on when a door is opened. When the
doors are closed and the ignition is on, each lamp can be
turned on individually by moving the switch (each lamp
has its own switch) to ON.
There is also an interior console flood lamp located
underneath the rearview mirror which comes on with the
headlamps or parking lamps.
Inadvertent Load Control
If the underhood lamp, vanity mirror lamps, reading
lamps, console or glove box lamps are accidentally left
on, the power load will time out after 15 minutes. To
reset it, all of the above lamps must be turned off or the
key must be in the
ON position.
Mirrors
Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror
An inside rearview mirror is attached above your
windshield. The mirror has pivots
so that you can
adjust it.
You can adjust the mirror for day or night driving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the light comes on while you are driving, and you
have a LOW BRAKE FLUID message showing on the
DIC, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may
notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the
light
is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. (See
“Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
A C WTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake warning light is on. Driving with the
brake warning light
on can lead to an accident.
If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off the
road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle
towed for service.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on
for several seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to
OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Corvette
needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light
isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have
anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and
there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake
System Warning Light” earlier in this section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
ON. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
