Immobilizer Operation - Chevrolet 2013 Corvette Owner's Manual

The theft-deterrent system does not
arm if the driver door is locked with
the power door lock switch after the
doors are closed.
If the RKE transmitter is removed
from the vehicle while a passenger
is in it, have them lock the doors
after they are closed. The alarm will
not arm, so the passenger will not
set it off.
Testing the Alarm
To test the system use the following
procedure.
1. Make sure the trunk lid/hatch is
latched.
2. Lower the window on the
driver door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait
30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window
and manually pull the release
lever on the floor.
6. Press the unlock button on the
transmitter to turn off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound, check
to see if the horn works. The horn
fuse may be blown. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10 45.
If the horn works, but the alarm
does not go off, see your dealer.
Disarming the System
Press the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter or squeeze the door
handle sensor while the transmitter
is near the vehicle to unlock a door.
Unlocking a door any other way sets
off the alarm. If the alarm sounds,
press the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter to disarm it.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

when the ignition is turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition is turned
to OFF/ACCESSORY or START and
a valid transmitter is found in the
vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The security light comes on if there
is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
