Warning  Lights, Gauges 
and  Indicators 
This  section describes the  warning lights 
and gauges  that may  be on  your  vehicle. 
The  pictures  will  help  you  locate them. 
Warning  lights and  gauges  can  signal  that 
something is  wrong before  it becomes 
serious enough to cause  an expensive 
repair  or replacement.  Paying  attention 
to  your  warning  lights  and  gauges could 
also  save  you or others from  injury. 
Warning  lights go on  when  there may  be 
or 
is a  problem  with  one of your  vehicle’s 
functions. 
As you  will  see in the details 
on  the 
next few pages, some  warning 
lights come  on  briefly  when  you  turn  the 
ignition  key just  to let  you  know  they’re 
working.  If  you are familiar  with this 
section,  you  should  not  be alarmed  when 
this  happens. 
Gauges  can indicate  when there may be 
or  is  a problem  with  one of your  vehicle’s 
functions.  Often gauges  and warning 
lights  work  together  to 
let you  know 
when  there’s  a problem  with  your  vehicle. 
... 82 
When  one of the  warning  lights  comes on 
and stays  on  when  you  are driving, or 
when  one of the  gauges  shows  there  may 
be a problem,  check  the  section  that  tells 
you  what  to  do about 
it. Please follow the 
manual’s  advice.  Waiting  to 
do repairs 
can  be  costly 
- and  even  dangerous. So 
please get  to  know  your  warning  lights 
and  gauges.  They’re a big  help. 
Your  vehicle  also has a driver  information 
center  that  works  along with  the  warning 
lights  and  gauges.  See  “Driver  Information  Center’’ 
in the Index. 
System  Problems 
If “SYS” flashes on the  display  near  your 
fuel  gauge, there  may be a problem  with 
your  Corvette’s  electrical system. If the 
“SECURITY”  light  flashes at  the  same 
time, there  is a problem  with  your  theft 
deterrent  system.  Have  your  vehicle 
checked  by your  dealer 
if “SYS’  keeps 
appearing. 
Gauge  Markings 
The  analog  gauges  provide  a quick  visual 
reference  to  the  actual  measurement  of 
these  gauges.  However,  you  must  keep  in  mind  that  the  gauges  aren’t  linear.  This means  that  the  middle  mark  is  not 
a 
temperature  halfway  between  the  top  and 
bottom  temperatures  on  the  gauge.  For 
example,  the  middle  mark  on the  coolant 
gauge  represents  210°F, 
not 180°F  as you 
might  expect.

Security  Light 
This light comes on to remind  you to arm 
your  theft deterrent system.  If it comes on 
and stays on when  your  ignition is on, 
there may be  a problem  with  your  theft 
deterrent  system. See “Universal Theft 
Deterrent”  and  “PASS-Key”  in  the Index.
