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

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. 
Operation 
You  don’t  have  to do anything  for PKE to 
work  when  the  passive  feature 
is on.  Just

NOTICE: 
Your modern Corvette  doesn’t  need 
an elaborate “break-in.”  But it will 
perform  better  in  the  long  run  if  you 
follow these guidelines: 
0 Keep  your  speed  at 55 mph 
(88 km/h) or less  for the first 
500 miles (804 km). 
Don’t  drive at  any  one speed 
- fast or  slow - for the 
fist 
500 miles (804 km). 
Don’t  make  full-throttle 
starts. 
Avoid  malung  hard  stops for 
the first 
200 miles (322 km) 
or so. During  this  time  your 
new  brake  linings 
aren’t yet 
broken  in. 
Hard stops  with 
new  linings  can  mean 
premature  wear  and  earlier 
replacement.  Follow  this 
“breaking-in”  guideline 
every time  you get new 
brake  linings.

Ignition  Switch 
With the ignition  key in the  ignition 
switch,  you  can  turn  the  switch  to five 
positions: 
Acc  (A): Position  in  which  you  can 
operate  your electrical power accessories. 
Press  in the  ignition  switch  as  you  turn 
the  top  of it toward  you. 
Lock (B): The  only  position  in  which 
you  can  remove  the key.  This locks  your 
steering  wheel,  ignition  and  automatic 
transmission. 
If  you  have an  automatic  transmission,  tht 
ignition  switch  can’t  be  turned  to “Lock” 
unless  the shift  lever 
is in the “P” (Park) 
position. 
... 46 
Off (C): Unlocks  the  steering  wheel, 
ignition  and  automatic  transmission,  but 
does  not  send  electrical  power  to any 
accessories.  Use 
this position  if  your 
vehicle  must  be  pushed 
or towed. 
Run (D): Position  to which  the  switch 
returns  after you start  your  engine  and 
release  the  switch.  The  switch  stays  in 
the  “Run”  position  when  the  engine  is 
running.  But  even  when  the  engine  is  not 
running,  you  can  use  “Run”  to operate 
your  electrical  power  accessories  and  to 
display  some  instrument  panel  warning 
and  indicator  lights. 
Start (E): Starts  the engine.  When  the 
engine 
starts, release  the  key. The  ignition 
switch  will  return  to “Run”  for normal 
driving. 
When the  engine  is  not  running,  “Acc” 
and  “Run”  allow  you  to  operate  your 
slectrical  accessories,  such  as  the  radio. 
A warning  tone  will  sound  if  you  open 
the driver’s  door  when  the ignition is in 
“Off,’’ “Lock”  or  “Acc”  and  the  key  is  in 
the  ignition.

System  Problems 
If  ,the light above a  button flashes  when 
you  turn  on  the ignition,  your  system  may 
have  an electrical  problem. The flashing 
will  continue  for one  minute,  then  stop. 
The  flashing  light could also  mean  the 
refrigerant  level 
is too low in your 
system. The light  will continue to flash,  even 
if refrigerant 
is added,  until  the 
system  is reset.  Have  your  system 
checked  and  serviced 
if needed.

Ventilation  Tips

.. 
Keep the  hood  and  front air inlet free 
of  ice,  snow,  or any  other obstruction 
(such as  leaves). The heater  and 
defroster  will  work  far better,  reducini 
the chance  of fogging  the inside  of 
your  windows. 
When  you enter  a vehicle in cold 
weather,  adjust  the  fan to the highest 
speed  for  a  few  moments  before 
driving 
off. This  helps  clear the intake 
ducts  of  snow  and  moisture, and 
reduces  the chance  of fogging the 
inside  of your  windows. 
Keep  the air path  under  the  front seats 
clear  of objects.  This  helps  air to 
circulate  throughout  your  vehicle.

Audio Systems 
Your Delco@ audio  system  has  been 
designed  to operate  easily  and  give years 
of  listening  pleasure.  But  you  will  get the 
most  enjoyment out  of 
it if you  acquaint 
yourself  with  it first.  Find out what  your 
Delco@  system  can  do and  how  to operate 
all  its  controls,  to  be sure you’re getting 
the  most  out of the advanced engineering 
that  went  into it. 
NOTICE: 
Before  you  add  any  sound  equipment 
to your 
;chicle - like  a  tape  player, 
CB  radio,  mobile  telephone  or  two- 
way  radio 
- be sure  you  can  add 
what  you  want.  If  you  can,  it’s  very 
important  to do it  properly.  Added 
sound  equipment  may  interfere 
with  the  operation  of  your  vehicle’s 
engine,  Delco@  radio  or  other  systems,  and  even  damage  them.  And,  your 
vehicle’s  systems  may  interfere  with 
the  operation  of sound  equipment 
that  has  been  added  improperly. 
So, before  adding  sound  equipment, 
check  with  your  dealer  and  be  sure  to 
check  Federal  rules  covering  mobile 
radio  and  telephone  units.

Adjusting  the  Speakers 
Balance: 
Turn the “BAL”  control behind 
the  “FADE”  knob  to move  the sound 
between  the  right  and  left speakers if  you 
do not have  the DelcoBose  system.  With 
the  DelcoBose  system, your speakers are 
zlectronically  balanced. 
Fade: Turn  the “FADE’  knob to move 
the  sound  between  the front and rear 
speakers.  Note  that, with the Delco/Bose 
system,  if  you turn the knob all  the  way 
to “F” or “R,”  you  may  still get some 
sound  from  the  opposite speakers. 
To Play  a Cassette  Tape 
Your tape player is  built to work  best  with 
tapes  that are 
30 to 45 minutes  long on 
each  side.  Tapes  longer than  that  are 
so 
thin they  may  not  work  well  in  this 
player. 
The longer side  with the tape  visible  goes 
in  first. 
If you  hear  nothing  or hear  just a 
garbled sound, it  may  not  be  in  squarely. 
Press  “EJCT”  to remove  the tape  and  start 
over. 
Once the tape is playing, use the  knobs 
for  volume,  fade and balance,  just as you 
do for radio. 
Reverse: Press  “REV”  to return  to a 
favorite  passage  rapidly.  Press  it again  to 
play  the  passage.  The  radio  will  play  while  the  tape  is rewinding. 
Fast  Forward: Press “FF” to  advance 
the  tape  rapidly.  Press  it again  to play. 
The  radio  will  play  while  the  tape  is 
advancing. 
Repeat: Press  “REPT”  to go to  the 
beginning  of the  current  selection  after 
ten  seconds  or more  of  play.  After  five 
seconds  or less of  play,  the  player  will 
return  to the beginning  of  the  previous 
selection. 
Search: Press  “SRCH”  to go  to  the 
beginning  of the  next  selection. 
Scan: Press  “SCAN”  to listen  to  the  first 
eight  seconds  of each  passage.  Press  it 
again  to  stop scanning. 
Program: Press  the  upper  knob  to 
change  the  side 
of the  tape  that  is 
playing.  The lighted  arrows  show  which 
side  is currently  playing. 
Eject: Press  “EJCT”  to remove  the  tape. 
Stop: Press  “STOP-PLAY”  to listen  to 
the  radio  without  ejecting  the  cassette 
tape.  Press  it  again  to go  back  to  the 
tape. 
Metal  Tapes: Press  ‘‘CrOz ” when 
playing  high  bias  chrome  or  metal  tapes.
