Automatic Transmission Only; Reduced Engine Power - Chevrolet 2009 Corvette Owner's Manual

NO FOB - OFF OR RUN?
This message displays when the keyless access
transmitter is not detected inside the vehicle while you
are trying to turn the ignition off. The vehicle may
be near a strong radio antenna signal causing the
keyless access system to be jammed. The vehicle will
remain in ACCESSORY until the vehicle is turned off or
is restarted, or five minutes has expired. If you turn
the ignition off and you cannot find the keyless access
transmitter, you will not be able to restart the vehicle.
The keyless access transmitter needs to be inside of the
vehicle in order for the vehicle to start. See Starting
the Engine on page 2-23 for more information.
OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE
This message displays for a few seconds if a keyless
access transmitter that is not labelled 1 or 2 is used and
you try to personalize the features on the vehicle by
pressing the OPTION button. The personalization
system will not recognize the transmitter and the DIC
will not display the current driver number or the menus
used to set personalizations. The personalization
features will then be set to the default states. See DIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-71 for more
information.

REDUCED ENGINE POWER

but acceleration and speed may be reduced. Anytime
the check engine light stays on, the vehicle should
be taken to your dealer/retailer as soon as possible
for diagnosis and repair. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp
on page 3-42 for more information.
