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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For your convenience, the following table
gives the reading for each mark.
For numeric gauge measurements, refer to
the digital readings by pressing
“GAUGES” on the Trip Monitor.

Fuel Gauge
Your fuel gauge shows about how much
fuel is in your tank. The bars light up
when the ignition is on or, if the ignition
is
off, when you turn on your parking
lights.
When the display
is down to the last two
bars,
“RESERVE” will appear next to the
gauge.
Here are three concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gauge. All these
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong with the fuel
gauge.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts
off before the gauge reads
“F.”

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light
With anti-lock, this light will come on
when you start your engine and may stay
on for about two seconds. That’s normal.
If the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is i
problem.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition off.
Or, if the light comes on when you’re
driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition
off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still
stays on, or comes on again while you’re
driving, your Corvette needs service. If
the regular brake system warning light
isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes.
If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, you
don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with your regular brakes. See
“Brake System Warning Light” earlier in
this part.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
This gauge shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gauge pointer moves
into the shaded area, your engine is too

conditions, you should pull off the road,
stop your vehicle and turn off the engine
