Corvette C6 Tips and Tricks

-The C6 has front and rear brake cooling ducts beneath the car. They use high pressure areas to bring air to the low pressure areas where the brakes are.

-The button between the "1" and "2" buttons on the door is for easy exit/entry.

-The doors have a manual release located near the floor.

-The C6 can be entered by using the provided key in the lock above the rear license plate.

-The C6 can be started by placing the fob in the hidden receptacle in the glove box.

-The Automatic transmission has programming to hold gears while cornering.

-To get the dash to dim, you need to hold the dimmer switch in when rotated! The book does not tell you to push it in prior to rotation for the dimming. (thanks, shopman1)

-To get the garage door opener programmed when you have a variable code opener like Sears sells, you need to press the learn button on the unit then push the opener button in the C6 3 times for 2 seconds and it picks up the code. The book does not state that however if you go to the web site it will tell you how to address this problem. (thanks, shopman1)

-The holes on the inside surface of the exhaust tips are to eliminate high-RPM hiss.

-Turn the light switch one notch up from "auto" and then release to turn off the DRLs.

-Moving the turn signal lever part way and then releasing it will cause the lights to blink three times. This is for lane changes.

-To fully turn off traction control, you must press the button twice.

-If your window does not roll up or down that little bit at the top (indexing) then it may need to be set. This is explained in the user's manual, but involves holding the window down for 5 seconds using the switch and then holding it all the way to the top for 5 seconds using the switch.
