Another person gets trapped in Corvette
Person Gets Trapped in Corvette
Page 35 of the Corvette Owners Manual
A Florida man was at a gas station in his C7 Corvette convertible and got stuck in his car when the electric door release didn’t work. Instead of using the manual door release, he used his cell phone to call the police to get help freeing himself from inside the car. He obviously didn’t know about the manual door release located on the floor next to both the driver and passenger doors.
Eventually, Florida firefighters showed up, and before taking extreme measures, they tried to jump the car but broke the passenger window to free the man.
A TikTok video shows the moment a man from Davenport, Florida, had firefighters shatter the passenger window and free the man from the car rather than pull on the manual door release.
Sadly, people don’t know that there is a manual override to open the door if the battery dies or there is another electrical issue. This door release is between the seat and the door on the passenger and driver’s sides of all Corvettes with electronic doors.

I’m sick of following my dreams, man. I’m just going to ask where they’re going and hook up with ’em later.
