Default Active Handling

Hi all,
First time owner of a 2004 Commemorative edition Z06!


bought it from a friend of mind who was the original owner which was used very little as it has 21k miles.


Wanted to ask a quick question in regards to the Active Handling Button. I was driving it for the first time and while decided to push this button (active handling) I saw the icon appear on the dash and then I clicked again and turned it turned it back on. I may have pushed it a couple of times because all of a sudden the icon stayed on and was getting a service Active handling soon warning. I did not notice any performance issue at all, was only traveling at around 45-50 mph.....anyway I stopped the car turned it off and then resatarted it looks like it has reset and am no longer getting that error. Anyone have any experience with this? Wondering if maybe this feature needs to be turned on/off while the vehicle is in park? I do not see myself ever having it disengaged anyway. I have driven it a bit today and with no errors.


Thanks in advance for any input


one last thing, can anyone direct me where I can purchase a copy of the original Window MSRP


thanks again
Ken

unsure of the Active Handling question, you should be able to find relevant information on that in your owners manual.......................

a copy of the original window sticker can be obtained from the National Corvette Museum...........
