2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ECO mode

Manual Paddle Shift
While in S (Sport Mode), the paddles located on the
steering wheel can be used to manually up-shift or
down-shift the transmission.
The Manual Paddle Shift system is activated from
S (Sport Mode) by pushing the paddle, above the
steering wheel spokes, to up-shift to the next gear,
or pulling on the paddle, behind the steering wheel
spokes, to down-shift to the next gear. When accelerating the vehicle from a stop in snowy
and icy conditions, you may want to shift to 2 (Second)
or 3 (Third) gear. A higher gear allows you to gain more
traction on slippery surfaces. If traction control is active,
upshifts are delayed to increase your control of the
vehicle. See
Traction Control System (TCS)
on
page 5‑6.
The Manual Paddle Shift system can be deactivated
by moving the shifter from S (Sport Mode) back
to D (Drive), or by holding the up‐shift button for
more than one second.
While the Manual Paddle Shift gear selection
system is active, the transmission will automatically
downshift through the gears as the vehicle slows.
The transmission will select 2 (Second) gear as the
vehicle stops. From a stop, the vehicle will start from
and hold 2 (Second) gear unless the driver manually
paddle shifts into a different gear or selects D (Drive).
The driver can select 1 (First) gear for maximum
acceleration from a stop.

Compass Calibration
PressPonce to turn the compass display on or off.
If after several seconds the display does not show a
compass heading, there may be a strong magnetic
field interfering with the compass. Interference can be
caused by a magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder
or similar object. If the letter C or CAL appears in the
compass window, the compass needs calibration.
Depending on the mirror, in order to calibrate, CAL must
be displayed in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is
not displayed, press
Pfor several seconds or until
CAL is displayed.
If the compass has map lamps, it can be placed in
calibration mode by pressing and holding the left map
light button until a C appears on the compass display.
The mirror compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone
eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance
needs to be changed to the appropriate zone. To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number on the zone map that follows. 2. Press and holdPuntil a Z and a zone number
displays. The compass is now in zone mode.
3. Once the zone number displays, press
P
repeatedly until you reach the correct zone
number. Stop pressing
Pand the mirror returns
to normal operation.

Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three Positions The panel of switches might not appear exactly as
they do in the examples above, but they should be
similar.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmitter
could be labeled, as follows:
.A switch in the up position could be labeled as
“Up,” “+,” or“On.”
.A switch in the down position could be labeled
as “Down,” “−,” or“Off.”
.A switch in the middle position could be labeled
as “Middle,” “0,” or“Neutral.” 3. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left
to right as follows:
.When a switch is in the up position, write “Left.”
.When a switch is in the down position, write
“Right.”
.If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write “Middle.”
The switch settings written down in Step 3 now
become the button strokes to be entered into
the Universal Home Remote in Step 5. Be sure
to enter the switch settings written down in
Step 3, in order from left to right, into the
Universal Home Remote, when completing
Step 5.
4. From inside the vehicle, first firmly press all three buttons at the same time for about
three seconds. Release the buttons to put the
Universal Home Remote into programming mode.

You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed
to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while
still maintaining the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days press the AUTO
button and adjust the temperature to a cool, comfortable
setting. To achieve maximum cool down, do the
following: 1. Select
Hmode.
2. Press
?.
3. Select the a/c on.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed. Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in the
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
?
(Recirculation) : Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that recirculation is on. This mode prevents outside air
from entering your vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering your vehicle and
to help cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly.
Recirculation mode is not available in defrost or
defog mode.
