New Owner questions? Lil' Help here!
Ok. Picked up my sweety last night.....Have a couple of questions.
1. What should be the proper tire pressure. I keep getting the "frnt rt tire flat" on the display, but the tire feels like a rock?
2. I need some touch up paint for 97 torch red, any advice on where to pick that up?
3. On the remote, what does the "passive, on/off" mean?
4. Where would i buy a new battery for my remote?
Sorry these questions are probably "entry level" for you guys, Thanks for the help.

you can get touch up paint from one of the corvette mail order catalogs or any Chevy dealer. Remote battery at any drug store or home center (be careful opening and removing ang reinstalling. As for flat tire messge do a search on sensors or low/flat tire message on DIC. It could be a number of things you may have no sensor, bad sensor or possibly sensor needs to be retrained. Good Luck enjoy.........

To answer "3. On the remote, what does the "passive, on/off" mean?"
Early C5s had a remote which would unlock and lock you car as you approached and left your car with your fob in your pocket. If you locked your keys in the car, you could just shake the car and door would unlock (a motion sensor in fob sent out signals to lock/unlock).
BTW, you may not need a battery for your fob if it isn't working. Try holding down the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds or until the horn blows, if horn blows you have re-synched your fob. You may have to relearn your fob also using your DIC.

trying to find a thread on retraining them, now.

You can keep less (28 psi) in summer since they heat up more.
Oh, and WELCOME to the Forum, it's a GREAT PLACE !
