alarm. Refer to “Universal Theft Deterrent” in the Index.

your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.

Universal Theft Deterrent
Your Corvette has a theft
deterrent alarm system.
With this system, the
SECURITY light will flash
as you open the door (if
your ignition is
off). This
light reminds you to arm the
theft deterrent system.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Passive Keyless Entry system. The SECURITY light
will come on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
Off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. And, your vehicle won’t start.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Corvette’s odometer is tamper-resistant. It will
read
OD0 ERR if someone has tampered with it.
If a new odometer is installed, it will automatically reset
to the correct reading. If an electrical or other problem
makes setting the odometer correctly impossible, then
it’s set
at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must
show the old reading and when the new one was
installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your Corvette has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To display the trip odometer, press TRIP OD0 on the
Trip Monitor.
To reset it, press and hold RESET TRIP
for two seconds.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut off at
7200 rpm for the LT5 (Code J)
engine and at 5850 rpm for the LT1, (Code P) engine.
If you continue to drive your Corvette at the fuel shut
off rpm, you could damage your engine. Be sure to
operate your Corvette below the fuel shut
off rpm or
reduce your rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off.
Warning Lights, Gauges and
Indicators
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 come
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 start the
engine 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.
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 this 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.
