ESP CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2010 6.G User Guide

When using the Manual
Paddle Shift feature while
in S (Sport Mode), the
current gear will be
displayed in the Driver
Information (DIC), or the
Head-Up Display (HUD),
if the vehicle has either of
these features.
If the vehicle has a Navigation system, see “Head-Up
Display (HUD)” in the Index of the navigation manual.
The Manual Paddle Shift system will not allow either an
up-shift or a down-shift if the vehicle speed is too fast
or too slow, nor will it allow a start from 4 (Fourth) or
higher gear
If up-shifting does not occur when needed, vehicle
speed will be limited to protect the engine.
When the transmission gear does not respond to a shift
change, the DIC will show an X over the gear display. When a requested shift is
denied due to the speed
restrictions shown, the
DIC will momentarily
show an X over the gear
display and a chime will
sound.
If the vehicle has a HUD, and the transmission gear
does not respond to a shift change, a chime will sound
and the HUD will momentarily show an X over the gear
display.
Manual Paddle Shift operation is available for use with
Cruise Control. See Cruise Control
on page 4‑7for
more information.
The vehicle speeds required for Manual Paddle Shift
up-shifts depend on several vehicle inputs, which will
vary the allowed up-shift speed by a few mph (km/h).

will overwrite the current G value.
Be sure to continue scanning the displays, controls and
driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD. If you never look at the instrument panel
cluster, you may miss something important, such as a
warning light. Under important warning conditions, the
CHECK GAGES warning will illuminate in the HUD.
View your Driver Information Center (DIC) for more

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Many features on your vehicle can be personalized.
This means that the operation of these features can be
set to operate differently depending on who is driving
the vehicle. See “Personal Options” later in this section
for the features that you can personalize.
The personalization settings for other features are
automatically updated and saved as the driver adjusts
them. These include the following settings and presets:
.The radio presets, tone, volume, fade, balance,
equalization (EQ) settings and source (radio
or CD)
.The last climate control setting
.The Head-Up Display (HUD) position and dimming
level, if your vehicle has this feature
.The instrument panel cluster dimming level and
last selected DIC display
Separate personalization settings are saved for two
different drivers. One of the keyless access transmitters
is assigned to driver 1. The other is assigned to driver 2.
The back of the keyless access transmitters are
labelled 1 or 2 to correspond to each driver. The current driver's preferences are recalled when one
of the following occurs:
.The lock or unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter, labelled 1 or 2, is pressed.
.The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver's door is pressed. See
Memory Seat,
Mirrors and Steering Wheel
on page 2‑4for
more information.
.A valid keyless access transmitter is detected upon
opening the driver's door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver's door, the driver
preferences for the lowest driver number will be
recalled.
If a keyless access transmitter that is not labelled
1 or 2 is used, the personalization system will not
recognize the transmitter. The Driver Information
Center (DIC) will not display a current driver number
and the features that are normally programmed through
the DIC will be set to the default states. Also, if the
OPTION button is pressed, the DIC does not display
the menus used to set personalizations, but instead

Navigation/Radio System
For vehicles with a navigation radio system, see the
separate Navigation System manual.
Bluetooth®
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth
capable cell phone with a Hands Free Profile to make
and receive phone calls. The system can be used while
the key is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position.
The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to
9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all functions,
and not all phones are guaranteed to work with
the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/
bluetooth for more information on compatible phones.
Voice Recognition
The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to
interpret voice commands to dial phone numbers and
name tags.
Noise : Keep interior noise levels to a minimum.
The system may not recognize voice commands
if there is too much background noise.
When to Speak : A short tone sounds after the system
responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice
command. Wait until the tone and then speak.
How to Speak : Speak clearly in a calm and natural
voice.
Audio System
When using the in‐vehicle Bluetooth system, sound
comes through the vehicle's front audio system
speakers and over‐rides the audio system. Use the
audio system volume knob, during a call, to change
the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains
in memory for later calls. To prevent missed calls, a
minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned
down too low.
Bluetooth Controls
Use the buttons located on the steering wheel to
operate the in‐vehicle Bluetooth system. See Audio
Steering Wheel Controls
on page 4‑107for more
information.
b g(Push To Talk) : Press to answer incoming calls,
to confirm system information, and to start speech
recognition.
c(Phone On Hook): Press to end a call, reject a
