1994 CHEVROLET CORVETTE alarm

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Your Corvette has a number of new
features that can help prevent theft.
But you can have a lot
of trouble
getting into your vehicle
if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even
have to damage your vehicle to get
in. So be sure you have extra keys.
Door Locks
There are several ways to lock and unlock
your vehicle:
From the outside, use your door key or
the passive keyless entry transmitter.
If your theft deterrent system
is armed,
unlock the doors only with the key or the
transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm.
Refer to “Universal Theft Deterrent” in
the Index.
To lock the door from the inside, move
the lock control
on the door back. To
unlock
it, move the lock control on the
door forward.

I Universal Theft
Deterrent
‘our Corvette has a theft deterrent
larm system. With this system, the
SECURITY” light will flash as you
pen the door (if your ignition is
off).
‘his light reminds you to arm the theft
eterrent system. Here’s how to do it:
. Open the door.
. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch or the Passive Keyless
Entry system. The “SECURITY” lieht
will come on.
. Close all the doors. The “SECURITY’
light should go
off.
... 44
Now, if a door or the hatch is opened
without the key or Passive Keyless Entry
system, the alarm will go
off. Your horn
will sound for three minutes, then it will
go
off to save battery power.
The theft deterrent system won’t
arm if
you lock the doors with a key or manual
door lock, or if you lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle
when you leave with the keys, have the
passenger lock the vehicle after the doors
are closed. This way the alarm won’t
arm,
and your passenger won’t set it off.
Always use your key or the Passive
Keyless Entry system to unlock a door.
Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm.
If you do set off the alarm
accidentally, there are three ways to stop
it:
Unlock any door with your key.
Put the ignition key in the ignition.
Use the Passive Keyless Entry system.
How to Test the Alarm
1. Make sure the rear hatch is latched.
2. Lower a window.
3. Arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait five seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and
unlock the door from inside. The
alarm should sound.
6. Turn off the alarm.
If the alarm doesn’t go
off, check to see
if the horn works. If not, check the horn
fuse. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index. If the horn does work, but the
alarm doesn’t go
off, see your dealer.

Warning Lights, Gauges
and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gauges that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying attention
to your warning lights and gauges could
also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be
or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions.
As you will see in the details
on the
next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this
section, you should not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gauges can indicate when there may be
or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to
let you know
when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
... 82
When one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on when you are driving, or
when one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that tells
you what to do about
it. Please follow the
manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs
can be costly
- and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights
and gauges. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle also has a driver information
center that works along with the warning
lights and gauges. See “Driver Information Center’’
in the Index.
System Problems
If “SYS” flashes on the display near your
fuel gauge, there may be a problem with
your Corvette’s electrical system. If the
“SECURITY” light flashes at the same
time, there is a problem with your theft
deterrent system. Have your vehicle
checked by your dealer
if “SYS’ keeps
appearing.
Gauge Markings
The analog gauges provide a quick visual
reference to the actual measurement of
these gauges. However, you must keep in mind that the gauges aren’t linear. This means that the middle mark is not
a
temperature halfway between the top and
bottom temperatures on the gauge. For
example, the middle mark on the coolant
gauge represents 210°F,
not 180°F as you
might expect.
