2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE tire pressure reset

Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
information about how your vehicle is functioning, as
well as warning messages if a system problem is
detected. The DIC display area is located in the
instrument panel cluster below the speedometer and
tachometer, directly above the steering column.
The following buttons are located on the DIC control
panel which is located to the right of the instrument
panel cluster.1 FUEL:Press this button to display fuel information
such as fuel economy and range.
2 GAGES:Press this button to display gage information
like oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature,
automatic transmission ¯uid temperature, battery
voltage and front/rear tire pressures.
3 TRIP:Press this button to display your total and trip
miles, the elapsed time function, your average speed
and the engine oil life.
4 OPTIONS:This button allows you to choose personal
options that are available on your vehicle, depending
on the options your vehicle is equipped with, such
as security, door locks, easy entry seats and language.
5 E/M (English/Metric):Press this button to change
the display between English and metric units.
RESET:This button, used along with the other buttons,
will reset system functions and turn off or acknowledge
messages on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
At the top of the DIC control buttons is a light sensor.

Blank Page
There is a blank page at the end of the OPTIONS
menu. When the blank page is displayed, you
can access the following items:
FOB TRAINING:This option allows you to match the
RKE transmitter(s) to your vehicle. You can access this
option by pressing and holding RESET for three
seconds while you are on the blank page at the end of
the OPTIONS menu. The message FOB TRAINING
will be displayed. See ªMatching Transmitter(s) To Your
Vehicleº under
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation on page 2-5
TIRE TRAINING (Except Z06):The Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) operates with battery-powered sensors
that are located inside the valve stems on each tire.
Each sensor has a unique ID code so the vehicle knows
the tire location of the sensor. When the vehicle
reaches a speed of greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), the
sensors begin to send the tire pressure readings to
a receiver inside the vehicle. These readings are
displayed when using the GAGES button on the DIC. If
you are unable to display your tire pressures while
the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), you
may need to have your sensor ID codes learned by
the vehicle. See your dealer.
DIC Warnings and Messages
The following messages and warnings may appear in
the DIC display. The DIC display area is located in
the instrument panel cluster below the speedometer and
tachometer, directly above the steering column. You
may receive more than one message at a time.
Messages will appear one behind the other. To
acknowledge a message and remove it from the display,
press RESET. You may scroll through the messages
that may have been sent at the same time. The
message center is continuously updated with the vehicle
performance status.
ABS ACTIVE (Anti-Lock Brake System
Active):When your anti-lock system is adjusting brake
pressure to help avoid a braking skid, the ABS
ACTIVE message will be displayed.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message is
displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. The
message will stay on for a few seconds after the system
stops adjusting brake pressure.

SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING:If the SERVICE
ACTIVE HNDLG message is displayed, there is a
problem with your Active Handling System and your
vehicle needs service. The instrument cluster light
will also be on and a chime will sound. When this
message is displayed, the system is not working. Adjust
your driving accordingly.
ACTIVE HANDLING:Your vehicle is equipped with a
computer controlled system to assist the driver in
controlling the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. You
may feel or hear the system working and see the
ACTIVE HANDLING message displayed in the DIC.
This is normal when the system is operating. Also see
Braking on page 4-6.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (Except Z06):You will hear
two chimes when this message is displayed. To
acknowledge the warning, press RESET. After you
press RESET, a message will appear every 10 minutes
until this condition changes. This message indicates
that the pressure in one of your tires is less than 25 psi
(172 kPa). Next to the LOW TIRE PRESSURE
message, you can see either LF (left front), LR (left
rear), RF (right front) or RR (right rear) to indicate to you
which tire is low on pressure. You can receive more
than one tire pressure message at a time. To read other
messages that may have been sent at the same time,
press RESET. If a tire pressure message appears on the
DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the tire pressures
checked and set to those shown on your Tire LoadingInformation Label. See
Extended Mobility Tires (Except
Z06) on page 5-54andTire Pressure Monitor System
(Except Z06) on page 5-57.
{CAUTION:
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed on the Driver Information
Center, your vehicle's handling capabilities will
be reduced during severe maneuvers. If you
drive too fast, you could lose control of your
vehicle. You or others could be injured. Don't
drive over 55 mph (90 km/h) when the LOW
TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE message is
displayed. Drive cautiously and check your tire
pressures as soon as you can.
FLAT TIRE (Except Z06):You will hear two chimes
when this message is displayed followed by the
message MAX SPEED 55 MPH (90 km/h). If this
message appears, do not drive your vehicle above this
limit. The next message to appear is REDUCED
HANDLING. Adjust your driving accordingly. To
acknowledge these warnings, press RESET. After you
press RESET, a message will reappear every
10 minutes until this condition changes.
