1. If you turn on the headlights, then go to parking light position, the lamp head will remain up but headlights will be off.
2. If you have a passive entry feature- If you lock your keys in the car wait a few minutes and then shake the car! Car will unlock
3. The cruise control will disengage if you purposely make a sharp side to side turn above 60mph.
4 If you have a 6spd car, you can pop the trunk when the car is running by lifting the e-brake
5. When you change oil, and want to reset "oil life" simply turn on the ignition (do not start) and pump the accelerator three times!
6. You can pop the trunck and gas cap cover by pulling on metal lines hidden in the back
7. All of the option codes are in the glove box
8 The build sheet is in the front re-bar
AND FINALLY- SLAM THE PEDAL TO THE METAL- IT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE!!

and one thing you may have not known ..

It's all listed here in this thread, which has a sticky on it

So thats why my cruise control never works right on roadcourses!

Exactly what is the "front re-bar" and how do you access it to remove your build sheet?

I think you can reset oil life by selecting it then holding the reset button for a few seconds. Why step on the gas pedal? I would think that would do more harm than good.

What is the "passive entry feature?" What is an "active entry feature?"

I've seen all your tips in the sticky mentioned above but never had anyone explain re-bar and passive vs. active, etc. Can you answer those questions hotrod3? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Sorry, I thought maybe some people would enjoy it. I found this in C5 SECRETS I am not taking any credit for the info. Just new here

rickko,
Not sure about the re-bar item, but my '98 FOB has the passive entry feature...it's a slider for on/off. I believe it was done away with on the later C5's, not sure what the year cutoff is.

BTW...installed the C6 shifter this weekend...will give feedback after some miles...

Thanks "hotrod03".....
And don't let the crabs get to you. Any information is good information even if it's been said before.

Now, I tried it, but must not have the passive entry feature...now how do I get the keys out??

9. A rock cast through a C5 window will break such said window so that you will be able to remove your keys

It's the front croosmember of the frame.You need to remove the the bumper cover to get at the build sheet which should be in the LHS opening of the crossmember. The Corvette Museum should have a copy of your build sheet if you want to buy one.

what is a re-bar? Where do I look for the build sheet?

rickko

Thanks! That's interesting. Its certainly not on the '04

My bet is you're going to love your new shifter. I put in a Hurst and am so glad I made the change from stock.

Welcome to the forum. Like the others said. Don't worry about the crabs.

I don't see how that would hurt anything.....it's not like you'll flood it

And thanks hotrod....we've seen this stuff before....but who among us can't use a reminder now and then
