Corvette V8-6.2L (2008)
after the vehicle has been turned off, the driver door has been opened, and then closed, and two seconds elapse. After the two second timer cycle, the
vehicle looks for the fob on the interior of the vehicle. (Keep in mind that the fob may be determined to be "inside" of the vehicle even if it is slightly
outside.) In order to avoid getting the Key-In Reminder warning, make sure the fob is moved so that it is at least 1 foot (30 cm) outside of the vehicle
when closing the door. Upon opening the driver door after the Key-In Reminder warning activates, the Key-In Reminder chime will sound. This is
normal.
Although the Key-In Reminder warning (horn chirps) only occurs after the first driver door closure, all subsequent opening and closing of the driver door
will still cause the Key-In Reminder feature to search for the fob on the inside of the vehicle.
Passive Door Locking
If this feature is turned on, the vehicle will automatically lock itself after all doors have been closed, a slight delay has occurred, and at least one fob has
left the vehicle. For example: when the engine is turned off, the vehicle counts the number of fobs on the "inside" of the vehicle. When the driver door is
opened and then closed, there's a delay of two seconds before the vehicle searches for fobs on the "inside" of the vehicle again. If the number of fobs has
been reduced by at least one, the doors will lock eight seconds later. If the number of fobs has not been reduced, the vehicle waits eight seconds and then
counts the number of fobs on the "inside" of the vehicle one last time. Again, if the number of fobs has decreased by at least one, the doors will lock. If
no fobs have been removed from the vehicle, it will not lock. This feature can be personalized so that it is "off, silent (lights will flash) or "horn".
As described previously, interference can disrupt the system. If interference disrupts the system, the fob may not be detected, causing the vehicle to lock.
To avoid accidental locking of the vehicle, do not leave a fob on the inside of the vehicle when passive locking is enabled. To turn off passive locking
for one ignition cycle, press the unlock switch on the driver door until a double beep is heard with the door open and the vehicle off. Passive locking will
not re-enable until the next time the ignition is turned on.
Personalization
The system utilizes information based on the current driver ID. The driver ID will change based on several actions:
Tip
The driver ID controls are located on the driver door.
1.
If the "1" is pressed, the driver ID will change to driver 1 settings. If the "2" is pressed, the driver ID will change to driver 2 settings.
2.
When the driver door is opened by using the passive unlocking feature, the lowest numbered fob will control the driver ID. For instance, if fobs 1
and 2 approach the driver door and a passive unlock is performed, the driver ID will change to driver 1 settings.
3.
Any time a button is pressed on the fob, the driver ID will change. For instance, if driver 2 approaches the vehicle and presses the unlock button on
the fob, the driver ID will change to 2 (even if driver 1 has just entered the vehicle by doing a passive unlock event).
