Chevrolet 2007 Corvette Owner's Manual page 99

When the transmission gear does not respond
to a shift change, the DIC will show an X over
the gear display.
If the vehicle has a HUD, and the transmission
gear does not respond to a shift change, then a
chime will sound and the HUD will momentarily
show an X over the gear display.
Manual Paddle Shift operation is available for
use with Cruise Control, see Cruise Control
on page 164 for more information.
When a requested shift
is denied due to the
speed restrictions
shown, the DIC will
momentarily show
an X over the gear
display and a chime
will sound.
The vehicle speeds required for Manual Paddle
Shift up-shifts depend on several vehicle inputs,
which will vary the allowed up-shift speed by a
few mph (km/h).
•
Up-shifts to Fourth (4) gear require
approximately 22 mph (35 km/h).
•
Up-shifts to Fifth (5) gear require
approximately 28 mph (45 km/h).
•
Up-shifts to Sixth (6) gear require
approximately 41 mph (65 km/h).
To prevent damage to the powertrain, Manual
Paddle downshifts to a lower gear cannot be
done above certain speeds. The maximum
speed allowed for downshifting of gears one (1)
through fourth (4) are:
•
Into Fourth (4) gear over 168 mph (270 km/h)
•
Into Third (3) gear over 124 mph (200 km/h)
•
Into Second (2) gear over 81 mph (130 km/h)
•
Into First (1) gear over 45 mph (72 km/h).
If the driver does not request an upshift as the
engine speed approaches fuel shut off RPM,
the engine speed will be limited to protect
the engine. See Tachometer on page 190 for
more information.
