Chevrolet corvette 2001 Manual De Usuario

The Active Handling System is a computer controlled
system that helps the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is
accomplished by selectively applying any one of the
vehicle’s brakes.

When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away (6 mph (10 km/h)), the message ACT HNDLG
WARMING UP may be displayed in the DIC, the
instrument cluster light will be on, and a chime will
sound. This is normal. You can acknowledge this
message by pressing the RESET button. The Active
Handling System performance is affected until the
message, WARM UP COMPLETE, is displayed in 
the DIC.

The ACT HNDLG WARMING UP message may be
displayed in the DIC after exceeding 12 mph (20 km/h)
for 30 seconds. The Active Handling System is off until
the WARM UP COMPLETE message is displayed.

The ACTIVE HANDLING message will come on when
the system is operating. See “Driver Information Center
Messages” in the Index for more information. You may
also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.

The SERVICE ACTIVE
HNDLG message will be
displayed, the instrument
cluster light will come on,
and a chime will sound to
let you know if there is a
problem with the system.
See “Driver Information
Center Messages” in the
Index for more information.

When this light and the SERVICE ACTIVE HNDLG
message are on, the system is not operational. Adjust
your driving accordingly.

The Active Handling System comes on automatically
whenever you start your vehicle. To help maintain
directional control of the vehicle, you should always
leave the system on. You can turn the system off if you
ever need to. If you turn the Active Handling System
off, the Traction Control System will also be turned off.
Adjust your driving accordingly.

To turn the system off, press the ACTIVE HANDLING
button on the console. You can turn the system on 
and off at any time by pressing the button. The DIC 
will display the appropriate message when you push 
the button.
