Driving the Corvette
IMPORTANT! The Corvette MUST come to a complete stop before shifting into
reverse and into low or high speed. Damage to the gears and motor WILL occur.

Low Speed 2-1/2 mph (4 km/h) for Beginning Drivers

2. Push the shifter into “Low” speed (the center position).
NOTE:
The shifter comes
from the factory locked in the “Low” speed (4 km/h [2-1/2 mph]) position. The
shifter will not go into “High” speed until it is unlocked (see below).

When the foot pedal is
released, the Corvette will coast slightly before coming to a complete stop.
