Q: How does an air bag restrain?
A: In moderate to severe frontal or
near=frontal collisions, even belted
occupants
can contact the steering
wheel. The air bag supplements the
protection
provided by safety belts.
Air bags distribute the force of the
impact more
evenly over the
occupant's
upper body, stopping the
occupant
more gradually. But air
bags would not provide protection in
many types of collisions; including.
rollovers and rear and side impacts,
primarily because
an occupant's
.: - motion is not toward the air bag. Air
bags should never be regarded as
anything more than a supplement to
safety belt protection in hoderate to
severe frontal
and near-frontal
collisions.
Q: What wiu you see after an air bag
Mation?
A: Mer the air bag has inflated, it will
then quickly
deffate. This occurs so
quickly that some people may not
even realize that the air bag Sated.
The air bag will not impede the
driver's vision
or ability to steer the
vehicle,
nor will it hinder the
occupants from exiting the vehicle.
There
will be small amounts of
smoke
coming from vents in the
deflated
air bag. Some components
of the air bag module in the steering
wheel
hub may be hot for a short
time, but the portion of the bag that
comes into contact
with you will not
be hot to the touch. The nitrogen gas
used to inflate the air bag will have ventdinto
the passenger
compartment, and the
bag will be
deflated within seconds after the
"collision. Nitrogen makes
up about
80% of the air we breathe and is not
hazardous. As the nitrogen vents
from the bag, small particles we also
vented into the passenger
compartment.

-Matching Transmitter(§) to Your
Vehicle
Your Corvette comes equipped from the
-factory with one Passive
Keyless Entry
system transmitter. Additional
transmitters
may be purchased through
your- dealer. Each Bey chain transmitter
is coded to prevent
another transmitter
from unlocking
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.
Programming Transmiff ers
The Passive Keyless Entry system
allows up to thee transmitters
to be
matched to
your Corvette. Each
transmitter has its
own code. To
operate with your~particular vehicle, the
code needs
to be programmed into the
system.
To Engage the Pmgramming Mode:
1 I Move all transmitters out of range.
2. Turn.the ignition key on.
3. Push the TRIP ODO button on the
Driver Information Center twice.
4. Within five seconds, press and hold
the FUEL INFO button on the
Driver Inforfiation Center until the
PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY light
comes on and stays on. --

position, but leave the key in the

Automutic Ekctronic
Climate Control (OPTION)
With this system, you can control the
ventilation, heating
and air conditioning
in your vehicle, or you can use the
automatic setting.
Your vehicle also has
the flow-through ventilation system
described later
in this section.
The digital screen displays the outside
temperature, the inside temperature
setting, and the fan speed.
If the inside
temperature is changed,
or if the system
is changed from
OFF to any mode, the
inside temperature setting will be
displayed for several seconds before the
outside temperature is again displayed.
The
air conditioner compressor operates
in all air conditioning positions, and in
(@ (Defrost) when the outside
temperature is above freezing.
When
the air conditioner is on, you may
sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the Automatic
EIectronic Climate Control system
is
designed to cycle the compressor on
and off to keep the desired cooling and
to
help your vehicle's fuel economy.
TEMP SET: This control sets the
interior temperature you want. Press
V to lower the inside temperature
setting; press
A to raise the setting.
The temperature
you set will be
displayed on the digital screen.
Once you set the temperature you want,
the system will try to maintain this temperature,
whether
you are using the
heating
or the cooling controls.
However, if you set the temperature for
60°F (16°C) or 90°F (3Z°C), the fan will
stay on 3p udess you select a
different speed.
Your Automatic Electronic Climate
Control system
has three sensors. The
sun load sensor on top of the dashboard
detects increased interior temperature
caused by sunlight.
To keep you
comfortable, it reduces the interior
temperature
by as much as 5°F (3°C)
below the setting on the digital screen.
The outside air temperature sensor,
located on the right
side of the upper
radiator support
in the grille opening,
reads the outside temperature.
This is
what you usually see on the display.
