Active Rev Match - Chevrolet Corvette 2015 Owner's Manual

If the vehicle is not upshifted as the
engine speed approaches fuel shut
off rpm, the engine speed will be
limited to protect the engine. See
Tachometer on page 5-12.

Active Rev Match

Vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission have Active Rev Match
(ARM). ARM aids in smoother
shifting by matching the engine
speed to the next selected gear. By
monitoring shift lever and clutch
operation, ARM adjusts engine
speed to match a calibrated value
based on gear selection. On
upshifts and downshifts, engine
speed will be increased and
decreased to match vehicle road
speed and transmission gear
position. ARM is maintained for a
few seconds between shifts, then
deactivates if the shift is not
completed.
The system is activated and
deactivated by pressing either of the
paddles marked REV MATCH on
the steering wheel. The system
must be activated with each new
ignition cycle.
Driving and Operating
A gear indicator in the instrument
cluster displays the current gear
selected:
When ARM is activated, the
gear number is amber.
When ARM is deactivated, the
gear number is white.
A white dash indicates that
service is required. ARM will be
disabled, and the malfunction
indicator lamp will be on. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5-18. The clutch and
manual transmission will
continue to operate normally.
ARM will also:
Be active above 32 km/h
(20 mph).
Match engine speed up to
5400 rpm.
Not operate when the
accelerator pedal is applied.
Be disabled when the coolant
temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
