Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the speed in either miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). For more
information see “Personal Options” underDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-71.
To read the odometer with the ignition off, turn on the
parking lamps.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the
mileage total of the new odometer will be set to the
original miles (kilometers) of the old odometer. See your
dealer/retailer if the odometer must be replaced in the
vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:Fuel shuts off at about 6500 rpm for the
base model, 7000 rpm for the Z06 model, and
6600 rpm for the ZR1 model. If the vehicle continues
to be driven at the fuel shut off rpm, the engine
could be damaged. Be sure to operate the vehicle
below the fuel shut off rpm or reduce the vehicle’s
rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off.
Safety Belt Reminders
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime comes on for
several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety
belts, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light also
comes on and stay on for
several seconds, then
it ashes for several more.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s
safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.

vehicle has been driven in either miles or kilometers.
Press the TRIP button to display odometer readings,
such as:
ODOMETER 12345 MI or

You can also display the odometer by turning on the
parking lamps.
Trip Odometers:There are two trip odometers.
Press the TRIP button to display TRIP ODOMETER A

TRIP ODOMETER B 300.5 MI or
TRIP ODOMETER B 483.5 km
Both of the trip odometers can be used simultaneously.
The trip odometers can be reset by pressing the
RESET button on the DIC.There is also a miles since last ignition feature that
displays the number of miles (kilometers) driven since
you last started the vehicle. Press and hold the
RESET button for three seconds, then release it.
The miles (kilometers) since the last ignition cycle will
be set into the trip odometer.
Elapsed Timer:Press the TRIP button until ELAPSED
TIMER is displayed, such as ELAPSED TIMER .00.
When the ignition is in on, the DIC can be used
as a stopwatch. The display can show hours, minutes
and seconds. The elapsed time indicator will record
up to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, then it will
reset to zero and continue counting. The display
appears as ELAPSED TIMER .00 in the elapsed time
function.
You can start or stop the elapsed time by pressing the
RESET button. To reset the elapsed time to zero,

{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on the vehicle is dangerous.
You cannot know how it has been used or how
far it has been driven. It could fail suddenly and
cause a crash. If you have to replace a wheel,
use a new GM original equipment wheel.
Notice:The wrong wheel can also cause problems
with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and tire clearance to
the body and chassis.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause a crash. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth
or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use a
scraper or wire brush later, if you need to, to
get all the rust or dirt off.
