Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

182 Driving and Operating
Front Air Dam
If equipped, the front air dam has
minimal ground clearance.
Under normal operation, the
components will occasionally
contact some road surfaces (speed
bumps, driveway ramps, etc.). This
can be heard inside the vehicle as a
scraping noise. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Use care when approaching bumps
or objects on road surfaces and
avoid them when possible.
Composite Materials
This vehicle may be equipped with
parts containing carbon fiber,
sheet-molding compound or other
composite materials.
Dealer-installed accessories may
also contain composite materials.
These parts and accessories may
include the splitter or rocker
extensions.
{Warning
Exposed edges of parts
containing carbon fiber and other
composite materials can be
sharp. Contact with these parts
could result in injury. Use caution
to avoid contacting these parts,
including when washing the
vehicle. If the parts are damaged,
replace the parts promptly with
replacements from your dealer.
{Warning
Rocker extensions may break
under pressure, resulting in
property damage or injury. Do not
stand on the rocker extension or
use it as a step.
Ignition Positions
The vehicle has an electronic
keyless ignition with pushbutton
start.
Pressing the button cycles it through
three modes: ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, and Stopping the
Engine/OFF.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter must be in the vehicle for
the system to operate. If the
pushbutton start is not working, the
vehicle may be near a strong radio
antenna signal causing interference
