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 PASS-Key@ 
Your vehicle is equi  ped 
with  the PASS-Key 
(Personalized Automotive 
Security  System) 
theft-deterrent  system. 
PASS-Key is a  passive 
theft-deterrent  system. 
It  works when  you insert  or remove  the key  from  the 
ignition.  PASS-Key  uses a resistor  pellet  in the ignition 
key  that  matches a decoder in your vehicle. 
When  the  PASS-Key  system senses that someone  is 
using  the  wrong key, it shuts  down  the vehicle’s  starter 
and  fuel  systems. For  about  three  minutes,  the starter  won’t work and 
fuel won’t  go to the engine.  If someone 
tries  to start your vehicle again  or uses another  key 
during  this time,  the shutdown period will start over 
again.  This  discourages  someone from randomly trying 
different keys with different resistor pellets  in an attempt 
to  make a  match. 
The  ignition key must  be clean  and dry before  it’s 
inserted  in  the  ignition  or the engine  may  not start. If the 
SECURITY  light comes on, the  key  may be dirty  or 
wet. 
If  this happens and  the starter  won’t  work,  turn  the 
ignition 
off. Clean and  dry the key,  wait  three minutes 
and 
try again.  If the  starter still  won’t work, wait three 
minutes and  try the other ignition  key.  At  this time, you 
may  also want  to check  the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit 
Breakers” in the Index).  If the  starter  won’t  work  with 
the other key, your vehicle  needs service. 
If your vehicle 
does  start,  the  first  ignition key  may  be faulty.  See your 
Chevrolet  dealer  or  a locksmith who can service  the 
PASS-Key.

direction 
of the  turn  or lane change. 
To signal a lane change,  just raise  or lower  the lever 
until  the green arrow starts  to flash. Hold  it there until 
you complete your lane change.  The lever will return  by 
itself when you release it. 
As you signal a turn  or a lane change,  if the  arrows don’t 
flash  but  just stay on, a signal bulb may  be’burned  out 
and  other  drivers  won’t see your turn signal. 
If a bulb  is burned  out, replace  it to  help  avoid  an 
accident.  If the green  arrows  don’t  go on at all  when  you 
signal a turn, check the  fuse (see “Fuses”  in the  Index) 
and for burned-out  bulbs.

setting,  press  the  arrows  on the  fan  speed  switch. 
System  Problems 
If the light above an air control  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. 
To  reset your system: 
1. Turn your ignition  key  to OFF or LOCK. 
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio  fuses from the 
main fuse panel and  wait one minute.  See “Fuses  and 
Circuit Breakers”  in  the  Index. 
3. Put the fuses back  in  and start your  vehicle. 
The  light shouldn’t come on and your system  should  be 
working  properly.  If  you  still  have a  problem,  see  your 
dealer.

NOTICE: 
Don’t  add  anything  electrical to your  Corvette 
unless  you  check  with  your  dealer  first.  Some 
electrical  equipment  can  damage  your  vehicle 
and  the  damage  wouldn’t  be  covered  by  your  warranty.  Some  add-on  electrical  equipment  can 
keep  other  components  from  working  as they 
should. 
Your  vehicle has  an  air bag system. Before attempting  to 
add  anything electrical  to your Corvette,  see “Servicing 
Your  Air Bag-Equipped Corvette”  in the Index. 
The wiring circuits  in your vehicle  are  protected  from 
short circuits by a combination 
of maxi-fuses, 
mini-fuses,  and circuit breakers.  This  greatly reduces the 
chance 
of fires caused  by electrical  problems. 
6-67   

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are three fuse  centers  on your vehicle.  One is in 
the  right  side  of your instrument panel. Turn  the knob 
and  pull  the  door to access the fuses. 
The other  two fuse  blocks are in the  engine 
compartment. One 
is part of the  Forward  Lamp wiring 
harness 
(A), and  the  other  is part of the ECM-Engine 
wiring  harness 
(B). 
Look at the silver-colored band inside  the  fuse. If the 
band 
is broken  or melted,  replace the fuse.  Be sure  you 
replace  a bad fuse with a new one 
of the  correct  size. 
If you ever  have a problem on the road and don’t have a 
spare  fuse, you can borrow one  of the correct value. Just 
pick some  feature 
of your vehicle that  you can get along 
without 
-- like  the  radio  or  cigarette lighter -- and use 
its  fuse,  if it  is  the size  you need. Replace  it as soon as 
you  can. 
Headlamp  Wiring 
The headlamp wiring is protected  by a circuit  breaker  in 
the  switch.  An electrical overload will cause  the lamps 
to 
go on and off,  or in some cases  to remain off. If this 
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right 
away. 
Windshield  Wiper  Fuses 
The windshield wiper  motor is protected  by a circuit 
breaker and a 
fuse. If  the  motor overheats due to  heavy 
snow,  etc.,  the wiper will stop until the  motor cools. If 
the overload is caused  by some electrical  problem  and 
not  snow,  etc.,  be  sure  to get  it fixed. 
Power  Windows  and  Other  Power  Options 
Circuit breakers protect the power windows  and other 
power accessories.  When the current load  is  too  heavy, 
the  circuit breaker opens and closes,  protecting  the 
circuit  until the problem is fixed  or goes  away.
