Starting The Engine; Retained Accessory Power (Rap) - Chevrolet 2007 Corvette Owner's Manual

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

These vehicle accessories can be used for up to
10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
•
Audio System
•
Power Windows
These features continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the engine is turned off or until either door
is opened. If a door is opened, the power windows
and audio system will shut off.

Starting the Engine

Move the shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N)
for an automatic transmission. For a manual
transmission the vehicle can be started in
NEUTRAL or any other gear as long as the clutch is
depressed. To restart a manual transmission when
you are already moving, use the NEUTRAL position
only. To restart an automatic transmission when
you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N).
Notice: Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if
your vehicle is moving. If you do, you could
damage the transmission. Shift to PARK (P)
only when your vehicle is stopped.
The keyless access transmitter must be inside the
vehicle for the ignition to work.
Cell phone chargers can interfere with the
operation of the Keyless Access System. Battery
chargers should not be plugged in when starting
or turning off the engine.
To start your vehicle, do the following:
1. For an automatic transmission, with your foot
on the brake pedal, press the START button
located on the instrument panel. For a manual
transmission, while pressing in the clutch,
press the START button.
If there is not a keyless access transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is something causing
interference with it, the DIC will display
NO FOBS DETECTED. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 214 for more
information.
