Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual - 2011
8-2 Climate Controls
When the vehicle is first started,
the display shows the driver's
temperature setting, the outside
temperature, the fan speed and the
air delivery, for about 10 seconds.
The outside temperature is shown
in the center of the display.
The digital display will show the
readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
See “Personal Options” under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑55 for information
on changing your display.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): Press the
AUTO button to place the entire
system in the automatic mode.
When automatic operation is active,
the system automatically controls
the inside temperature, the air
delivery mode, and the fan speed.
After a ten second display of the
current settings, the word AUTO,
the driver's temperature setting
and the outside temperature will
be shown. The system operates
to reach the set temperature as
quickly as possible. The AUTO
control system works best with the
windows up and the removable roof
installed or the convertible top up.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a
comfortable setting between
16°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting will not
cause the system to heat or
cool any faster. A setting of
23°C (73°F) is suggested.
In cold weather, the system will
start at reduced fan speeds to
avoid blowing cold air into your
vehicle until warmer air is
available. The system starts out
blowing air at the floor but may
change modes automatically as
the vehicle warms up to maintain
the chosen temperature setting.
The length of time needed for
warm up depends on the outside
temperature and the length of
time that has elapsed since the
vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate.
This may take from 10 to
30 minutes. Then adjust the
temperature, if necessary.
Do not cover the solar sensor
located in the center of the
instrument panel, near the
windshield. For more information
on the solar sensor, see “Sensor”
later in this section.
