With DAB your power windows and the audio system
will continue to work up to 15 minutes after the ignition
key
is turned to OFF and neither door is opened. If a
door is opened, the audio system and power windows
will shut
off.
Starting Your Engine
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle
Identification Number
(VIN) shows the code letter or
number for your engine. You will find the
VIN at the
top left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper
steps to
start the engine.
Automatic transmission:
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
-- that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Corvette
is moving.
If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift
to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Manual transmission:
The gear selector should be in neutral. Hold the clutch
pedal to the floor and start the engine. Your vehicle
won’t start if the clutch pedal is not all the way
down
-- that’s a safety feature.
To start your 5.7 Liter LT5 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.

I
When the engine is not running, the voltmeter shows the
voltage output of your battery. When the engine is
running, it shows the voltage output
of the charging
system.
Readings between the shaded areas show the normal
operating range. The reading will change as the rate
of
charge changes (with engine speed, for example), but if
the voltmeter reads in either shaded area, and it stays
there, you may have a problem with the charging system,
Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading in a shaded area could drain your battery.
7
If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a shaded area, turn
off all your accessories,
including your comfort controls and audio systems.
For numeric gauge measurements, press the
GAUGES
button on the Trip Monitor until VOLT appears. The
number that appears next to the fuel gauge is the battery
voltage.

In this section you'll find out how to operate the comfort Manual Air Conditioner Controls
control systems and audio systems offered with your
Corvette. Be sure to read about the particular system
supplied with your vehicle.
Comfort Controls
With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your Corvette.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your Corvette's flow-through ventilation system
supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running.
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, reducing 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.
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.
Setting the Clock
Press SET. Within five seconds, press and hold TUNE
until the correct hour appears. Press and hold TUNE
A
until the correct minute appears.
Noise Reduction
Your audio system has automatic Dolby@ B Noise
Reduction.
