2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE key fob

Programming Transmitters to the
Vehicle
Only keyless access transmitters programmed to
this vehicle will work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be purchased and programmed
through your dealer/retailer. The vehicle can be
reprogrammed so that lost or stolen transmitters
no longer work. Each vehicle can have up to
four transmitters programmed to it.
Programming with a Recognized
Transmitter
A new transmitter can be programmed to the vehicle
when there is one recognized transmitter. For vehicles
sold in Canada, two recognized transmitters are
required to program a new transmitter. 1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Both the recognized and new transmitters must be with you.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key cylinder located above the license plate.
4. Open the hatch/trunk.
5. Turn the key five times within five seconds.
6. The DIC displays READY FOR FOB #2, 3 or 4.
7. Place the new transmitter in the glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons facing the
passenger side.
8. A beep sounds once programming in complete. The DIC displays READY FOR #3 or 4,
or MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FOBS LEARNED.
9. To program additional transmitters, repeat Step 7. Press Acc. on the ignition switch if programming is
complete.
10. Press
Kon each newly programmed transmitter to
complete the process.

If the vehicle does not start and the keyless access
transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another
keyless access transmitter. Or, place the transmitter in
the transmitter pocket. See “NO FOBS DETECTED”
under DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑52for
additional information. Check the fuse. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers
on page 6‑101. If the engine still does
not start with the other transmitter, the vehicle needs
service. If the engine does start, the first transmitter
may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer or have a new
keyless access transmitter programmed to the vehicle.
The immobilizer system can learn new or replacement
keyless access transmitters. Up to four keyless
access transmitters can be programmed for the vehicle.
To program additional transmitters, see “Matching
transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” underKeyless Access
System Operation on page 3‑5.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Follow these recommended guidelines during the first
1,500 miles/2414 km of driving this vehicle. Parts have
a break-in period and performance will be better in the
long run.
For the first 200 miles/322 km:
.To break in new tires, drive at moderate
speeds and avoid hard cornering for the
first 200 miles/322 km.
.New brake linings also need a break-in
period. Avoid making hard stops during the
first 200 miles/322 km. This is recommended
every time brake linings are replaced.
3-21

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories can be used for up to
10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
.Audio System
.Power Windows
These features continue to work up to 10 minutes after
the engine is turned off or until either door is opened.
If a door is opened, the power windows and audio
system will shut off.
Starting the Engine
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral) for an
automatic transmission. For a manual transmission the
vehicle can be started in Neutral or any other gear as
long as the clutch pedal is pressed. To restart a vehicle
with a manual transmission when you are already
moving, use the Neutral position only. To restart a
vehicle with an automatic transmission when you
are already moving, use N (Neutral).
Notice: Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the vehicle
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when the
vehicle is stopped.
The keyless access transmitter must be inside the
vehicle for the ignition to work. Cell phone chargers can interfere with the operation of
the Keyless Access System. Battery chargers should
not be plugged in when starting or turning off the
engine.
To start the vehicle, do the following:
1. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, with your foot on the brake pedal, press the
START button located on the instrument panel.
For vehicles with a manual transmission, you must
also press in the clutch pedal while pressing the
START button.
If there is not a keyless access transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is something causing
interference with it, the DIC will display NO FOBS
DETECTED. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on
page 4‑52for more information.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button and the engine cranks automatically until
it starts. If the battery in the keyless access
transmitter is weak, the DIC displays FOB
BATTERY LOW. You can still drive the vehicle.
See “Battery Replacement” underKeyless Access
System Operation
on page 3‑5for more
information. If the fob battery is dead, you need to
insert the fob into the fob slot to enable engine
starting. See “No Fobs Detected” underDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 4‑52.
3-24

Stopping the Engine
If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, move
the shift lever to P (Park) and press and hold the
Acc. (Off/Accessory) button, located on the instrument
panel, until the engine shuts off. If the shift lever is not
in P (Park), the engine shuts off and the vehicle goes
into the Accessory Mode. The DIC displays SHIFT
TO PARK. Once the shifter is moved to P (Park),
the vehicle turns off. If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, it is recommended that you move the
shift lever to R (Reverse) and set the parking brake
after you turn off the engine by pressing and holding
the Acc. (Off/Accessory) button.
If the keyless access transmitter is not detected inside
the vehicle when it is turned to off, the DIC displays
NO FOB –OFF OR RUN?.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑52for
more information.
Automatic Transmission Operation
There are several
different positions for the
shift lever.
P (Park) : This position locks the rear wheels. It is the
best position to use when starting the engine because
the vehicle cannot move easily.
3-26

If none of the above have made the light turn off, your
dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. The dealer/retailer
has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix
any mechanical or electrical problems that might have
developed.
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have
or might begin programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass this
inspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration.
Here are some things to know to help the vehicle pass
an inspection:
.The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
check engine light is on with the engine running.
To perform a check engine light bulb check with
the keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob
is in the passenger compartment. See Ignition
Positions
on page 3‑23. Press the bottom of the
Acc. button on the instrument panel and hold the button down for five seconds. The instrument
panel, including the check engine light, will light up
and the ignition will be on, but the engine will not
start
—press the bottom of the Acc. button only
briefly, less than five seconds, the accessory
power mode will be turned on, but not the ignition.
After the bulb check, press and release the Acc.
button again to turn the ignition off and avoid
draining the vehicle's battery.
.The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
OBD II (on-board diagnostic) system determines
that critical emission control systems have not
been completely diagnosed by the system.
The vehicle would be considered not ready for
inspection. This can happen if the battery has
recently been replaced or if the battery has run
down. The diagnostic system is designed to
evaluate critical emission control systems during
normal driving. This can take several days of
routine driving. If this has been done and the
vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack
of OBD II system readiness, your dealer/retailer
can prepare the vehicle for inspection.

MAXIMUM SPEED 129 km/h (80 MPH)
This message displays when a malfunction is present in
the Selective Ride Control system. The vehicle speed
will be limited to a value determined by the vehicle
when the shock absorber system has failed and the
shocks are in their full soft mode. Have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer/retailer as soon as possible.
To acknowledge the message, press the RESET button.
The message reappears every 10 minutes until this
condition changes.
NO FOBS DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle does not detect the
presence of a keyless access transmitter when you
have attempted to start the vehicle or a vehicle door
has just closed. The following conditions may cause this
message to appear:
.Driver-added equipment plugged into the
accessory power outlet on the center console
is causing interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell phone chargers,
two-way radios, power inverters, or similar items.
Try moving the keyless access transmitter away
from these devices when starting the vehicle.
In addition, PDA devices and remote garage and
gate openers may also generate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) that may interfere with the keyless access transmitter. Do not carry the
keyless access transmitter in the same pocket or
bag as these devices.
.The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths, and some gas
stations have EMI fields which may interfere
with the keyless access transmitter.
If moving the transmitter to different locations
within the vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the glove box transmitter pocket
with the buttons facing to the right and then
press the START button.
.The vehicle's battery voltage is low. The battery
voltage must be above 10 volts for the keyless
access transmitter to be detected properly.

NO FOB - OFF OR RUN?
This message displays when the keyless access
transmitter is not detected inside the vehicle while you
are trying to turn the ignition off. The vehicle may be

in ACCESSORY until the vehicle is turned off or is
restarted, or five minutes has expired. If you turn the
ignition off and you cannot find the keyless access
transmitter, you will not be able to restart the vehicle.
