Disarming The System - Chevrolet 2002 Corvette Owner's Manual

Disarming the System

Always use your key or the remote keyless entry
transmitter to unlock a door. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm. If your alarm sounds,
listed below are the ways you can disarm it:
D
Unlock the driver's door with your key.
D
Put the key in the ignition.
D
Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Now, if a door or the hatch/trunk lid is opened without
the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
alarm will go off. Your horn will sound for two minutes,
then it will go off to save battery power. And, your
vehicle won't start.
-
The theft deterrent system won't arm if you lock the
driver's door with a key, the manual door lock, or if you
use the power door lock after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keys, have the passenger lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed. This way the alarm won't arm,
and your passenger won't set it off.

PASS Key
-
-
PASS Key uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key that
matches a decoder in your vehicle.
-
When the PASS Key system senses that someone is using
the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter and fuel
systems. For about three minutes, the starter won't work
and fuel won't go to the engine. If someone tries to start
your vehicle again or uses another key during this time,
the shutdown period will start over again. This discourages
someone from randomly trying different keys with different
resistor pellets in an attempt to make a match.
The key must be clean and dry before it's inserted in the
ignition or the engine may not start. If the SECURITY
light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet.
