Manual release lever
I just received a letter in the mail from GM explaining how to open the doors using the manual release lever if the car has no power or in an emergency.
They includes pictures were the levers are located in a 2016 vette. I'm amazed the levers haven't changed much from my 2005 vette to the 2016 vette.
I wonder if every vette owner will receive this letter.
Happy Holidays!!

I would think that all of the owners that GM have on file through their dealers will get a letter. I have a 2006, and I got the letter last week.

Probably sending this letter because of that guy in Texas who died because he could not get out of his car. Same people who do not read the owners manual will also ignore the letter.

However, if you have been living in this country for 20 years or more,
are not yet a citizen, and have never learned to read English then your rights may have been violated, and a successful lawsuit is probable.

I've done the manual release lever just for the H of it.....but have never tried the in-the-trunk-pull cable process...guess I'll give that a shot too. I'm still looking for the "blow-the-top-ejection button!"

All kidding aside, I do check all 3 door release levers 2 or 3 times a year, just to be certain they're all working properly.

I had to try the trunk one today. I gingerly put my cell phone and key fob on the front seat and closed the door. Oops!
As a former Boy Scout I was prepared. I pulled out my spare key from my wallet and opened the trunk and pulled the cable.
Note: that was only the 2nd time in 3 years I've done that.
Mostly I go by the golden rule. Keep the fob in the pocket just like the wallet from the get go.

You cannot sue GM if you read and speak English, as written in the Owner's Manual.
