Passive Keyless .Entry Description The Passive Keyless-Entry system, or PKE, on your Corvette is a new approach2o remote keyless entry. Unlike other systems, PKE requires no specific .action from the operator ,to unlock or lock the dams. When the passive kature is er;abled, simply approach the vehide with the .PKE trinsmitter-the system automatically disarms your vehicle's theft deterrent system and unlocks either the driver's door or both doors (depending on which unlock mode it is in). Move back aut -of range, and P-KE locks all the doas and arms the theft deterrent system.

The Passive Keyless Entry system also has other useful features. The passenger - door can be unlocked by pressing. the DOOR button on the transmitter. On the. coupe, the hatch can be openqd ley pressing the HATCH button on the transmitter. In addition to these features, there is a special function that prevents thekeys from being locked in the vehicle while they are in the ignition.

Your Corvette comes equipped from the facbry with one transmitter. Additional transmitters, if desired, .may be purchased though your dealer. Each transmitter is co-ded for. secu-rity, and must be ,programmed to yow vehicle before it is used. See Programming Transmitters laterin this section,

Transmitter Range The Passive Keyless Entry system sen-ses the transmitter when it is within a certain-range of the vehicle. When the transmitter is' within this range, the doar(s) will unIock auto-matieally (if the passive feature i s enabled), the theft deterrent system will be disarmed, -and the courtesy lights wilI be turned on (if it is dark enough outside). Transmitter ranges., as shorn in the coupe and convertibie illustrations, are as follows: Range A: .5-7 feet (.11h-2 m) Range B: 3-5 feet. (1-1% rn)

The signal of the transmitter is picked up by two antennas. On the coupe, one antenna is located in the driver's door and one is located in the rear of the luggage-area. These antennas do not require any routine maintenance

Transmitter Range (Convertible) Qn the convertible, one antenna is located in the driver's door and one- is located in the passenger's -door. These antennas do not require any routine maintenance.

Transmitter Range Suggestions: The range of the Passive Keyless EMry system is very dependent on bow the transmitter is held. For opthum range h d performance, hold the transmitter vertically when approaching the vehicle. If the range gradually decreases over time even though the transiitter is held vertically, change the battery in the transmitter. The range will decrease if mure than one3ransmitter is in range at the same time. Avoid taking more than one- transmitter into vehicle range at the same time.

Do not put the transmitter into a metal container, which will prevent the .signal from getting- to the vehicle.

hen you move the transmitter into vehicle range, the theft deterrent system automatically disengages and the driver's door automatically unlocks. When you move the transmitter out of vehide range with the' do.ors closed and the key out af the ignition, the system will automatically:

Lock both .dooxs after -a five-second delay. Immediately arm the theft deterrent system. Sound the horn once to signal that the doors are locked. Turn-off the interior lights.

The theft deterrent system will still operate using the . p m a d0.w lock. See the Index under .Universal The#? DeZerrenzt. You mEQT also Llnbclr the passenger door by pressing the-DOOR-buttoil Qn the transmitter, and the hatch by pressing the HATCH button, but only when the ignition is off.

Features & Controls

Passive Keyless Entry Settings With Passive Keyless Entry, you a m use- the system to operate both doors, or' only the driver's door. You can also choose to disable the system, ifthere are times when. you would prefer .not to use Passive Keyless Entry. To Sdtch Dbor Settings: To switch the: setting, from automatically locking .and unlocking the .driver's door to autom,atically iocling: and unlocking both doors: 1. Insert the ignition key, but leave the

ipition off.

2. With the transmitter in range, hold. the. DOOR, button for more than two seconds. The system.wil1 then cycle the doox. locks.

3. To switch back, repeat steps I; and 2.

When the system is off or me transmitter is left at home, none of the Passive Keyless. Entry features work. But you will still be able to work the manual and power locks, and arm the theft deterrent system. See the Index 'under Door Lacks, .Power Door Locks and Univerml Theft Deterrent.

Turning the Passive Keyless Entry System Off 1, Take the keys out of the-ignition. 2. Hold the DOOR button on the tramrnitter for longer than two seconds.

3: The: system will sfgnal the shut-off by cycling the locks from lock to unlock. T.0 make sure the PKE system is off, turn the ignition on and look for the PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY hght on the Driver Information Center.

If you are working around your Corvette and are- keeping your keys with you, you rnight want to turn the Passive Keyless Entry system off to prevent the transmitter from activating the locks. You also might want to turn the system off if you have a passenger remaining in the vehicle. If the passenger leaves the vehicle with the d m arme.d, he or she might set it off.

Enabling the Passive Keyless Entry System: To turn .the Passive Keyless Entry system: on again, simply follow steps 1 through 3'under Turning the- Passive: Keyless Entry System Off. There-are two ways to make sure that the passive feature is on. Either turn- the ignition on and check to see' that the PASSTvlE KE%LESS ENTRY light on the Driver Infomation Center comes on-for two seconds, or shut the doors. and walk away from the vehicle with the keys and transmitter. If the PKE system is on,.the doors.will lock.

Passive Keyless Entry Safety Features This system makes it d.Scult for you to lock-your keys in the vehicle. If the keys are left In the ignition and you lock-the doors, the system d l 1 automatically unlock the doors as soon as they close. Also, this system will not lock the doot &er the transmitter has moved out of range until the key is removed from the ignition and the.-driver's door has been opened. When using this system, you. should become aware of the:ham ale-rt once the doors lock automatically. If you have left your keys. in the ignition, the horn will .not souhd. Be sure to, lock the doors ,once- you have removed the key from the ignition.

Passive Keyless Enfry Safety Features (CONT.) If you have your keys and the h.om does not sound, check to see’if the passive. feature is.enabled. If the system is enabled and the horn still won’t sound, see your dealer for -assistance. The transmitter shuts down after 21 seconds without movement to maximize battery life. If. you’ve lpclted your keys in the vehicle, but didn’t leave them in the ignition, wait 25 seconds, then rock the vehicle. A motion detector inside the. transmitter will send a si-gnal to “wake up’’ the vehicle, which will then unlock the doors. It is still possible to lock your lreys in the vehicle if the transmitter’s battery is low, or if it is in a location where a signal can’t be received, .For your convenience, a€ways take your keys with.you. io

-Matching Transmitter(§) to Your Vehicle Your Corvette comes equipped from the -factory with one Passive Keyless Entry system transmitter. Additional transmitters may be purchased through your- dealer. Each Bey chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchasdthrough your dealer. Remember to bring the- remaining. transmitter (s) with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining transmitter(s) must aIso be matched. ‘Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.

Programming Transmiff ers The Passive Keyless Entry system allows up to thee transmitters to be matched to your Corvette. Each transmitter has its own code. To operate with your~particular vehicle, the code needs to be programmed into the system. To Engage the Pmgramming Mode: Move all transmitters out of range. 2. Turn.the ignition key on. 3. Push the TRIP ODO button on the Driver Information Center twice. 4. Within five seconds, press and hold

the FUEL INFO button on the Driver Inforfiation Center until the PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY light comes on and stays on.

5. Turn the ignition key to the Off position, but leave the key in the ignitiofi..

The PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY light should flash once per second signaling that the system is ready to program the first transmitter. The number of times the light flashes corresponds to the number ofthe transmitter you're programming (once -per second-for the..first trarrsmitter, twice per second for the second transmitter, and three times per second for the- third transmitter).

Programming a Transmitter: 1. Bringa transmitter into range. 2. 'The PASSIVE KEYLESS ENTRY

light will come on-and stay an, signaling that-the code has been stored..

3. Move, the transmitter out of range. The system light will flash again and the system is ready for the next transmitter.

4. You can turn of€ the. pograrnming, node by removing the ley from the ignitipn or by turning the ignition on. Turning uff the programming. mode before you pro-gram m y transmitters will-not .cancel-any transmitter codes akeady programmed into the system. Bringing m&e than one transmitter into range at :a time will make it difficult for the system to search-for individual codes.

The program-ming: mode will shut off after two minutes Z you have not programed any transmittegs, -* ~l;ou have taken the key out of the ignition, or after three transmitters have been programmed.

If a transmitter is lost or stden, a replacement can be .purchased through yourdealer. If .fewer-than three transmitters are programmed, only those transmitters will work with your vehicle. When the.first transmitter is programmed, all prev.ious transmitter codes.,wiU be erased. So when pto'grmming a new transmitter,~d other transmitters must be .reprogrammed.

Using Cruise. Control on HMs. How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon y ~ u r speed, load, and the steepness of. the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to zt lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake or dutch pedal takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use cruise control on steep hills.

Ti Get Out of Cruk Control There are several ways to turn off the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch pedal, if you have a manual transmission; OR Move the cruise switch to OFF; OR * When the ASR systern.is4 activated, it will turn off the cruise control.
