Your  vehicle  has  a  theft deterrent  system. 
See  “Universal  Theft Deterrent” in  the

Passive  Keyless Entry System 
With  Passive Keyless  Entry (PJSE), your 
vehicle  will  disarm or 
arm your theft 
deterrent  system  and  lock or unlock  your 
doors  when  you  are about  three to seven 
feet (one to two  meters)  away, if  you are 
carrying  the  PKE  transmitter.  Your 
Corvette  was  shipped with one 
PKE 
transmitter,  but  up  to three can be 
matched  to your  vehicle.  See “Matching 
Transmitters  to Your  Vehicle”  later in  this 
section. 
Your  Passive Keyless  Entry system 
operates on  a radio frequency  subject to 
Federal  Communications  Commission 
(FCC)  Rules.  This 
device  complies  with 
Part 15 of the 
FCC  Rules.  Operation  is subject  to  the 
following  two  conditions:  (1) This  device 
may not  cause  harmful  interference,  and 
(2) This device  must  accept  any 
interference  received,  including 
interference  that  may  cause  undesired 
operation. 
Should  interference  to  this  system  occur, 
try  this: 
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.

Transmitter  Range 
The transmitter range depends on  your 
vehicle  and where  you are standing.  The 
coupe 
(A) has  an antenna  in  the  driver’s 
door  and  one in  the  rear area.  The 
convertible 
(B) has  one antenna  in  each 
door.  The antennas  do not  require  any 
maintenance. 
Range  also depends on  how  you  hold 
the  transmitter.  For best  performance, 
when  you  come near  your  vehicle,  hold 
the transmitter straight  up  and down, 
so 
the keys  hang  down. 
If  the range seems  to be decreasing, 
check  the battery 
in the  transmitter. 
Range  will  decrease if the  battery  is 
low.  It will  also decrease  if more  than 
one  transmitter  is in the  area.  Don’t  put 
the  transmitter in  a  metal  container 
because  the transmitter  won’t  work. 
Matching  Transmitter(s)  to  Your 
Vehicle 
Each  key  chain transmitter is  coded to 
prevent  another transmitter from 
unlocking  your  vehicle.  If  a  transmitter 
is lost  or stolen,  a  replacement  can  be 
?urchased through  your  dealer. 
Remember  to bring  any  remaining 
:ransmitters  with  you  when  you  go to  your  dealer.  When  the  dealer  matches 
the  replacement  transmitter 
to your 
vehicle,  the  remaining  transmitters  must 
also  be  matched.  Once  the  new 
transmitter  is  coded,  the  lost  transmitter 
will  not  unlock  your  vehicle. 
You  can  match  a  transmitter  to  as  many 
different  vehicles  as  you own,  provided 
they  are equipped  with  exactly  the  same 
model  -system.  (General  Motors  offers 
several  different  models  of  these 
systems  on  their  vehicles.)  Each  vehicle 
can  have  only  three  transmitters 
matched  to it. 
To match  transmitters  to  your 
vehicle: 
1. Move  all transmitters  out of range. 
2. Turn  the  ignition  on. 
3. Push  “TRIP  ODO’ on the  Driver 
Information  Center  twice. 
4. Within five seconds  press  and  hold 
“FUEL  INFO’ until  the  “PASSIVE 
KEYLESS  ENTRY”  light  comes  on. 
5. Turn  the  ignition  off,  but  leave  the 
key  in  the ignition.  The  “PASSIVE 
KEYLESS  ENTRY”  light  should 
begin  to flash  to  show  the  system  is 
in  programming  mode.   

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 6. Bring one transmitter  into  range.  The 
light  will  stop  flashing  and  stay  on  to 
show  that  the  code  is  stored.

transmitters. 
Battery  Replacement 
Under  normal  use,  the  battery  in your 
key  chain  transmitter  should  last about 
18 months. 
You  can  tell  the  battery  is weak  if  the 
transmitter  won’t  work  at 
the normal 
range  in  any  location. 
If you  have to 
get  close  to your  vehicle  before  the 
transmitter  works,  it’s  probably  time to 
change  the  battery. 
ro replace  your  battery: 
I. Insert a screwdriver in  the  slot  on  the 
back 
of the  transmitter  and  gently  pry 
apart  the  front and  back. 
2. Gently  pry  the  battery  out of the 
transmitter  using  the  screwdriver. 
3. Put the new battery in  the  transmitter, 
positive 
(+) side up. Use  a Duracell@ 
battery,  type DL2450,  or equivalent. 
4. Put  the  two halves  back  together. 
Make sure  the halves are  together 
tightly 
so water  won’t  get  in. 
5. Test  the  transmitter.

Every  new  Corvette  has a Delco 
Freedom@  battery. 
You never  have  to add 
water  to one  of these.  When  it’s  time  for 
a new battery,  we  recommend  a Delco 
Freedom@  battery.  Get  one  that  has  the  catalog  number  shown  on  the  original 
battery’s  label.  For  battery  replacement, 
see  your  dealer  or  the  Corvette  Service 
Manual. 
To purchase  a service  manual, 
see  “Service  Publications”  in the  Index. 
Vehicle  Storage 
If you’re  not  going to drive  your  vehicle 
for 
25 days  or  more,  take off the  black, 
negative 
(-) cable  from  the  battery.  This 
will  help  keep  your  battery  from  running 
down.  Contact  your 
dealer to  learn  how  to 
prepare  your  vehicle  for longer  storage 
periods.
