Universal Theft-Deterrent System
SECURITY
Your Corvette has a
theft-deterrent alarm
system. With this system,
the SECURITY light will
flash as you open the door
(if your ignition is off). This
light reminds you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Passive Keyless Entry system. The SECURITY light
will come
on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go off.
Now, if a door or the hatch is opened without the key or
Passive Keyless Entry system, the alarm will
go off.
Your horn will sound for three 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
doors with a key or manual door lock, or
if you lock the
vehicle after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehcle 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.
Always use your key
or the Passive Keyless Entry
system to unlock a door. Unlocking a door any other
way will set
off the alarm. If you do set off the alarm
accidentally, there
are three ways to stop it:
Unlock any door with your key.
Put the ignition key in the ignition.
Use the Passive Keyless Entry system.

but the alarm doesn’t
go off, see your dealer.
