the transmission fluid temperature to be higher than
normal. If this message appears, you may continue to
drive at a slower speed. You should also monitor the
transmission fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at
least 230
F (110
C). The transmission fluid temperature
can be monitored with the GAGES button on the DIC.
See ªAutomatic Transmission Fluidº in the Index.
You should also check the engine coolant temperature.

Head-Up Display (HUD) (If Equipped)
CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in
your field of view, it may take you more time to
see things you need to see when it's dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display
(HUD), you can see some of the driver information that
appears on your instrument panel cluster.The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward
the front of your vehicle. The HUD consists of the
following information:

Speedometer

Turn Signal Indicators

High
-Beam Indicator Symbol

Tachometer

Oil, Temperature and Fuel Gages

Shift Light (Performance SHIFT Light)
This light is used for performance driving to indicate
that the vehicle's best performance level has been
reached to shift the transmission into the next
higher gear. The SHIFT light will display at an
engine speed of about 5,750 rpm (6,250 rpm
on Z06), just prior to reaching the engine fuel
cut
-off mode. To better understand the vehicle's

The HUD controls are located to the left of the
steering wheel.To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly:
1. Start your engine and slide the HUD dimmer
control all the way up.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
the light conditions in the direction your vehicle is
facing and where you have the HUD dimmer control
set. If you are facing a dark object or a heavily
shaded area, your HUD may anticipate that you
are entering a dark area and may begin to dim.
It is possible for sunlight to enter the HUD causing
all of the graphics to light up. The display will return
to normal when the sunlight is no longer entering
the HUD.
2. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position.
If you change your seat position later, you may
have to re
-adjust your HUD.
3. Press the top or bottom of the DISPLAY switch
to center the HUD image in your view.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down,
not side
-to-side.
4. Slide the dimmer control downward until the HUD
image is no brighter than necessary. To turn HUD
off, slide the switch to OFF.

3-4 Automatic Electronic Dual Climate Control
System (Option)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an automatic
electronic dual climate control system. This system can
automatically adjust and control temperature output, fan
speed, air delivery mode, air conditioning operation and
air intake. You can use the AUTO (automatic) setting or
override the automatic operation with manual control
settings. The set temperature will be remembered each
time you turn the ignition off and restart in the same
settings. You can use the memory option to recall your
settings. SeeªMemoryº in the Index.Digital Display
The digital display shows readings in Fahrenheit or
Celsius by pressing the E/M button (English/Metric)
on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When you
start the vehicle, the display will show the current fan
speed, air delivery mode and the driver
-set temperature
for approximately five seconds and then show the
outside temperature.
When the system is fully in the automatic mode, the
word AUTO will also appear on the display unless you
are in full cold 60
F (16
C) or full hot 90
F (32
C),
then the word AUTO will not display. If you have
selected a manual fan speed, then the fan symbol will
appear on the display. If a manual air delivery mode has
been selected, the delivery mode symbol will appear on
the display.
