Driving and Operating 201
{Warning
When exiting Stealth mode, allow
sufficient time for the vehicle to
automatically start the engine and
develop full system propulsion power
before merging into traffic. Attempting to
merge into traffic before the engine has
reached full power could cause a crash
resulting in vehicle damage, personal
injury, or death. It is best to exit Stealth
mode first and allow the engine to reach
full capacity before engaging in traffic.
Shuttle Mode : Use to propel the vehicle
using only electric power. Shuttle mode is
not intended for public roads. The typical
range in Shuttle mode is about four to
five miles depending on the starting SOC,
vehicle speed, terrain, and other driving
conditions. While the vehicle is in Shuttle
mode, the instrument cluster only displays
the vehicle speed, battery gauge, and a
electric power indicator gauge. The infotainment screen will only show the
date and time. If equipped, the HUD system
will not be functional.
Shuttle mode automatically deactivates if
the following occurs:
.The vehicle speed exceeds 24 km/h
(15 mph).
.The outside temperature is lower than
–
10°C (14°F).
.The high voltage battery SOC is 0%.
To deactivate Shuttle mode, put the vehicle
in P (Park) and turn off the vehicle. Then,
start the vehicle normally.
Shuttle mode will automatically start to
reduce propulsion power as the SOC reaches
0%. The message Start Engine to Charge
Battery will display on the instrument
cluster when the SOC reaches 5%.
If the engine is not started, propulsion
power reduces automatically and the vehicle
comes to a stop. The only way to charge your battery is to
start and run the vehicle from Normal mode.
See
“Normal Mode” later on in this section.
Do not store the hybrid battery with a low
SOC for an extended period of time. It is
best to store the battery in the white
eAWD zone.
Normal Mode : Use to have a normal
engine start when going through the EV
drive mode selection process.
Starting and running the vehicle from
Normal mode allows the engine and front
electric motor to regenerate power to
charge the hybrid battery.

Park Assist
With RPA, as the vehicle backs up at speeds
of less than 8 km/h (5 mph), the sensors on
the rear bumper may detect objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle within a zone
25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below
bumper level. These detection distances may
be shorter during warmer or humid weather.
Blocked sensors will not detect objects and
can also cause false detections. Keep the
sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in
freezing temperatures.
{Warning
The Park Assist system does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle damage, even

218 Driving and Operating
The instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show“distance
to object” and object location information
for RPA. As the object gets closer, more bars
light up and the bars change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is first detected in the rear,
one beep will be heard from the rear. When
an object is very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the
vehicle rear), five beeps will sound from
the rear.
Turning the Features On or Off

beeps sound from the left or right,
depending on the direction of the detected
vehicle.
RCTA can be turned on or off through
vehicle settings. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems.
Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB),
and/or the Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System can help to avoid a crash or reduce
crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
The FCA system may help to avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. When approaching a vehicle ahead
too quickly, FCA provides a red flashing alert
on the windshield and rapidly beeps. FCA
also lights an amber visual alert if following
another vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance of
approximately 60 m (197 ft) and operates at
speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph).
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped vehicle ahead
too rapidly, or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid
a crash. It also may not provide any
warning at all. FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs, guardrails,
bridges, construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive Driving
0 157.

FCA can be disabled through vehicle settings.
To view available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur unless the FCA
system detects a vehicle ahead. When a
vehicle is detected, the vehicle ahead
indicator will display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves, highway exit
ramps, or hills, due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead until it is
completely in the driving lane.
{Warning
FCA does not provide a warning to help
avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle.
FCA may not detect a vehicle ahead if
the FCA sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or ice, or if the windshield is damaged.
It may also not detect a vehicle on
winding or hilly roads, or in conditions
that can limit visibility such as fog, rain,
or snow, or if the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the windshield,
headlamps, and FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
Collision Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display When your vehicle approaches another
detected vehicle too rapidly, the red FCA
display will flash on the windshield. Also,
eight rapid high-pitched beeps will sound
from the front. When this collision alert
occurs, the brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more rapidly which
can cause a brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake pedal as
needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will display
amber when you are following a vehicle
ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing

Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
17272984) - 2024 - CRC - 2/20/23
220 Driving and Operating
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC.
Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both alerts will
vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will
occur. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert timing.
The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving vehicle
ahead in your path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle ahead is out
of sensor range, dashes will be displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system may help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end crashes. AEB
also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
your path that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may automatically brake moderately or hard.
Always wear a seat belt and ensure that all
passengers are properly restrained. This
automatic emergency braking can only occur
if a vehicle is detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator being lit. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System
0218.
The system works when driving in a forward
gear between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 135 km/h
(84 mph). It can detect vehicles up to
approximately 60 m (197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB to brake the
vehicle. AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only responds
to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on winding or
hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles
with a trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc. (Continued)
