Chevrolet 2009 Corvette Automobile User Manual


 
Automatic Door Lock
The vehicle is programmed so that, when the doors are
closed, the ignition is on and the shift lever is moved out
of P (Park)for automatic transmissions, or when vehicle
speed becomes faster than 8 mph (13 km/h) for manual
transmissions, both doors will lock.
Use the power door unlock switch to unlock the door
when the vehicle is not in P (Park). When the door is
closed again, the doors will lock either when your foot is
removed from the brake or the vehicle speed becomes
faster than 8 mph (13 km/h).
Programmable Automatic Door
Unlock
The vehicle is programmed so that when the shift lever is
moved into P (Park) for automatic transmission vehicles
or when the ignition is turned OFF or is in Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) for manual transmission
vehicles, both doors will unlock.
With the vehicle stopped and the engine running, door
unlocking can be programmed through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). This allows the driver to choose
various unlock settings. For programming information,
see DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73.
Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the horn
three times and unlock the driver door when both doors
are closed and there is a keyless access transmitter
inside the vehicle. When the driver door is opened,
a reminder chime will sound continuously. The vehicle
will remain locked only when at least one transmitter
has been removed from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. See DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73.
