Chevrolet Corvette 2014 Owner's Manual page 189

To start the vehicle:
1. For vehicles with an automatic
transmission, press the brake
pedal, then press the ENGINE
START/STOP button on the
instrument panel. For vehicles
with a manual transmission,
press the clutch pedal first, then
press the ENGINE START/
STOP button.
If there is no RKE transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is
something causing interference
with it, the DIC will display NO
REMOTE DETECTED. See
.
2. When the engine begins
cranking, let go of the button and
the engine cranks automatically
until it starts. If the battery in the
RKE transmitter is weak, the
DIC displays REPLACE
BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY.
The vehicle can still be driven.
See Battery Replacement
under
. If the remote
transmitter battery is dead, insert
it into the steering column
transmitter pocket to enable
engine starting. See NO
REMOTE DETECTED under
.
3. Do not race the engine
immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the oil
warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Driving and Operating
4. If the engine does not start and
no DIC message is displayed,
wait 15 seconds before trying
again to let the cranking motor
cool down.
If the engine does not start after
five to 10 seconds, especially in
very cold weather (below 18°C
or 0°F), it could be flooded with
too much gasoline. Try pushing
the accelerator pedal all the way
to the floor while cranking for up
to 15 seconds maximum. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each
try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the accelerator.
If the vehicle starts briefly but
then stops again, repeat these
steps. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine.
