In 1932 Chevrolet
introduced the
Synchro
-Mesh
transmission and
offered a host of
accessories -- including
such niceties as a clock!The legacy of America's favorite sportscar
began in 1953, when 319 hand
-assembled
white Corvettes
launched the
first use of a
fiberglass body in
a production car.
The Chevrolet blend of
value and performance has
become an American
tradition -- whether bred for
the racetrack like the legendary
Corvette and Camaro, or created for the pleasure of the
open road.
Every decade, Chevrolet
has reinforced its heritage
of affordable performance
with quality and value crafted into each vehicle. It's not
surprising that for 80 years
ªGenuine Chevroletº has been
America's automobile.
We're proud to continue that
heritage in your Chevrolet,

If the alarm is sounding because an incorrect ignition
key was used, press any button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter to turn the alarm off.
The alarm will stop by itself after two minutes.
Shock Sensor
Coupe ConvertibleThe shock sensor is what triggers the alarm when it
detects a blow to your vehicle. It is located over the
right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch
area. There are two levels of alarms via the shock
sensor. Two horn blasts and parking lamp flashes for
non
-threatening blows to the vehicle and a full
two
-minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. Its
sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity is
desired. If sensitivity is increased too much, it may give
false alarms caused by gusts of wind or other natural
events that may shake the vehicle.
To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment
knob and adjust as desired. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease
sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm
system when the ignition is on, when the hatch is open,
when the alarm is disarmed, when customized to be
ignored and for five seconds after the horn sounds an
alarm or chirp. The shock sensor is ignored after
triggering three full alarms until the system is rearmed.

NOTICE:
The convertible top may be tight when pushing
forward on the latch when your vehicle is new,
but it will loosen up with time. Make sure that
the hooks are properly aligned before using any
kind of force.
If your vehicle suffers a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise the top manually by turning
the valve in the driver's side of the hatch.
Open the hatch and find the tab along the driver's side
trim panel. Lift up the tab and turn the valve
counterclockwise to release the hydraulic pressure. Turn
the ignition key to LOCK. You can now raise or lower
your top manually. Be sure to close the valve after
installing your top so you can raise or lower it
electrically later.

Comfort Controls
With this system you can control the heating, air
conditioning and ventilation in your vehicle.
Your vehicle also has the flow
-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
Fan Control Knob
: Turn this knob to select the force of air
you want.
Temperature Control Knob
Turn the knob to change the temperature of the air
flowing from the system. Turn it toward the red area
(clockwise) for warmer air and toward the blue area
(counterclockwise) for cooler air.
Air Control Knob
OFF: The system is off.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling for quick cool
-down
on very hot days. This setting recirculates most of the air
inside your vehicle. If it is used for long periods of time,
the air may become dry. This setting directs air through
the upper air vents.
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days. This setting
cools outside air and directs it through the upper
air vents.
The air conditioner compressor operates in MAX, A/C,
Bi
-Level, Blend and Defrost when the outside
temperature is above freezing. When the air conditioner
is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle's engine speed and power due to the operation of
the compressor.

3-5 Ventilation System
Adjust the direction of airflow by moving the vents.
Your vehicle's flow
-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the blower
fan is running.
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.
1. Turn the air control knob to VENT.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to a
comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the desired speed.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, turn the
fan control knob clockwise 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 Electronics audio system has been designed
to operate easily and give years of listening pleasure.
You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint
yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco
Electronics 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.
If you have power door locks, your vehicle has a feature
called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP,
you can play your audio system even after the ignition is
off. See ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.
