2004 Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual - Page 62

Remote Keyless Entry System Operation Your vehicle has a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system that allows you to lock and unlock your doors, unlock your hatch/trunk lid, turn the panic alarm on and off and disarm or arm your theft-deterrent system. The range distance is as much as 100 feet (30 m) away. Your vehicle comes standard with two transmitters, and up to three can be matched to your vehicle. The driver's door will unlock when the unlock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, or press the unlock button again within five seconds to unlock both doors. Also, by pressing the unlock button, it may automatically disarm your theft-deterrent system, depending on how the theft-deterrent system is programmed. If it is dark enough outside, your interior lamps will come on. Your memory settings will also be recalled when you press the unlock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. See Memory on page 2-57 for more information. The hatch/trunk lid will release when the button with the trunk symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned to OFF. The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you to lock your key in your vehicle. If you leave your key in the ignition and attempt to lock the doors, the vehicle will not lock and a chime will sound to remind you that the key is in the ignition. If the door lock is pressed again, within five seconds, the doors will lock and the keys can be locked in the vehicle. This system cannot guarantee that you will never be locked out of your vehicle. Always remember to take your key with you. See "Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle" later in this section. 2-6
