Chevrolet 2010 Corvette Convertible Automobile User Manual


 
When using the Manual
Paddle Shift feature while
in S (Sport Mode), the
current gear will be
displayed in the Driver
Information (DIC), or the
Head-Up Display (HUD),
if the vehicle has either of
these features.
If the vehicle has a Navigation system, see Head-Up
Display (HUD) in the Index of the navigation manual.
The Manual Paddle Shift system will not allow either an
up-shift or a down-shift if the vehicle speed is too fast
or too slow, nor will it allow a start from 4 (Fourth) or
higher gear
If up-shifting does not occur when needed, vehicle
speed will be limited to protect the engine.
When the transmission gear does not respond to a shift
change, the DIC will show an X over the gear display.
When a requested shift is
denied due to the speed
restrictions shown, the
DIC will momentarily
show an X over the gear
display and a chime will
sound.
If the vehicle has a HUD, and the transmission gear
does not respond to a shift change, a chime will sound
and the HUD will momentarily show an X over the gear
display.
Manual Paddle Shift operation is available for use with
Cruise Control. See Cruise Control
on page 47
for
more information.
The vehicle speeds required for Manual Paddle Shift
up-shifts depend on several vehicle inputs, which will
vary the allowed up-shift speed by a few mph (km/h).
