keyless entry transmitter.
If your theft-deterrent system is armed, unlock the doors
only
with the key or the transmitter to avoid setting off the
alarm. Refer to “Universal Theft Deterrent” in the Index.
To lock the door from the

Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your

close the door.
Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent system. See
‘‘Universal Theft Deterrent” in the Index.
Passive Keyless Entry System
Your Corvette’s Passive Keyless Entry System (PKE)
allows you to lock and unlock your doors, unlock your
trunk, or disarm or arm your theft-deterrent system from
3 to 7 feet (1 l/2 to 2 meters) away when using the key
chain transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
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.

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 walk toward your vehicle
with the
PKE transmitter, and the system will
automatically disarm your theft-deterrent system and
unlock the doors.
If it’s dark enough outside, your
interior lamps will come on.
If you move out of range, the PKE system will:
1. Lock the doors after five seconds.
2. Arm the theft-deterrent system.
3. Sound the horn to let you know the doors are locked.
4. Turn off the interior lamps.
You can also use the buttons on the transmitter. Press
DOOR to open the passenger’s door or HATCH to open
the hatch. The HATCH button will only work when the
ignition is off.
The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If you leave your keys
in the ignition and lock the doors, the system will unlock
the doors as soon as they are closed. If you leave the
keys in the ignition and move away with the transmitter,
the doors still will not lock. You should notice that the
horn doesn’t sound and return to get your keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system will allow you to lock your keys in the
vehicle if you didn’t leave them in the ignition. You
should, however, be able to use the transmitter to get
them out. After
26 seconds of no motion, the transmitter
shuts down to save the battery. Wait about
30 seconds,
then rock the vehicle. The transmitter should “wake
up”
and unlock the doors.
This system can’t guarantee that you’ll never be locked
out of your vehicle. If the battery is low or if the
transmitter is in a place where the signal can’t get to the
antenna, it won’t unlock the doors. Always remember to
take your keys with you.
PKE Settings
You can use the system for both doors or just the
driver’s door, or you can turn the system
off.
To change door settings:
1. Put the ignition key in the ignition, but don’t turn it
2. Press DOOR on the transmitter until the door locks
on.
cycle
(about two seconds).
To turn the system off:
1. Take the ignition key out of the ignition.
2. Press DOOR on the transmitter until the door locks
cycle (about two seconds).
To turn the system back on, just repeat the steps.
To check that the system is
off, turn on the ignition. The
PASSIVE
KEYLESS ENTRY light on the Driver
Information Center should not come on. If the light does
come on for a second or two, then the PKE system is
still on.
You can also check whether the system is on or
off by
closing the door and walking away with the keys and
transmitter. If the doors lock, the system is on.
If you are working around your vehicle and keeping
your keys with you, you might want to
turn the PKE
system
off. If you don’t, the transmitter will keep
locking and unlocking your doors.

18 months.
You can tell the batteries are 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 batteries.

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.
