Running The Vehicle While Parked; Dual Clutch Transmission - Chevrolet CORVETTE Owner's Manual

Warning (Continued)
If unusual fumes are detected or if it is
suspected that exhaust is coming into the
vehicle:
Drive it only with the windows
completely down.
Have the vehicle repaired immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the engine
running in an enclosed area such as a
garage or a building that has no fresh air
ventilation.
Warning
To prevent exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle and heat from damaging the
vehicle, the engine cover and all fluid fill
plugs must be secured before closing the
tonneau cover (convertible only) and
operating the vehicle. Make sure all bolts
are torqued to GM specifications.
The vehicle is equipped with an advanced
exhaust filtering system that cleans the
exhaust and lowers vehicle emissions. This
system requires certain conditions to
maintain peak operation. Normally, the
system will not require any additional effort,
but in certain driving modes the vehicle may
request a regeneration of this system.
If the DIC displays ACTIVE REGEN IN
PROCESS, attempt to maintain the current
driving conditions. If this process is
interrupted, it may be repeated when the
conditions are resumed.
The exhaust filter operation is best
maintained by following these criteria:
Drive cycles with speeds greater than
100 km/h for periods longer than
15 minutes are best for the exhaust filter
operation.
Short duration travel of less than
10 minutes can diminish effectiveness.
Peak operation requires a lively driving
style at speeds above typical urban
driving.
Idle conditions or mild mannered, low
speed driving do not promote peak
operation.

transmission provides an extremely
connected feel due to the direct connection
between the engine and gear box. This
arrangement provides very fast shift times
for maximum performance. Automatic
driving mode is selected by pulling D on the
