Remote not opening trunk

I have just brought a 2001 euro spec Corvette.

The manual states that I should be able to open the trunk with the key fob,
but this does not work.

Any thoughts please

either the remote button doesn't work or the unlatching servo doesn't. do
you hear a click or thump when you hit the button? if not, try jumpering the
servo to see if it will trigger manually. if so, perhaps the cable just
needs adjusting

Put your key in the drivers door lock and unlock it 3 times and see if the
deck opens. Is so it may be your fob battery strength or the reception to
your rear latch is faulty.

Thanks for the help but I have found out the fob works different to the
books description.

I have to hold down the trunk opening button for a long while and then the
petrol cap opens.

I hold down the panic alarm button and the trunk opens.

Very confusing.

I guess if you can't find your car, one might 'panic'...hehe.
