Navigation System
The vehicle's navigation system provides detailed
maps of most major freeways and roads throughout the
United States and Canada. After a destination has been
set, the system provides turn-by-turn instructions for
reaching the destination. In addition, the system can
help locate a variety of points of interest (POI), such
as banks, airports, restaurants, and more.
See the vehicle's Navigation System manual for more
information.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The DIC display is located at the bottom of the
instrument panel cluster. It shows the status of
many vehicle systems and enables access to the
personalization menu.
The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel to
the right of the instrument panel cluster.
. 4:Press to display fuel information such as fuel
economy and range.
2: Press to display gauge information like oil
pressure and temperature, coolant temperature,
automatic transmission fluid temperature (if equipped),
battery voltage, and front/rear tire pressures.

or TTY 1‐877‐248‐2080, or press
Qto speak with an
OnStar advisor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
For a full description of OnStar services and system
limitations, see the OnStar Owner's Guide in the
glove box.
OnStar service is subject to the OnStar terms and
conditions included in the OnStar Subscriber
Information. OnStar service cannot work unless the vehicle is in a
place where OnStar has an agreement with a wireless
service provider for service in that area. OnStar service
also cannot work unless the vehicle is in a place where
the wireless service provider OnStar has hired for that
area has coverage, network capacity and reception
when the service is needed, and technology that is
compatible with the OnStar service. Not all services are
available everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
The OnStar system can record and transmit vehicle
information. This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar call center when
Qis pressed,]is pressed,
or if the airbags or ACR system deploy. This information
usually includes the vehicle's GPS location and, in the
event of a crash, additional information regarding the
crash that the vehicle was involved in (e.g. the direction
from which the vehicle was hit). When the virtual
advisor feature of OnStar hands-free calling is used, the
vehicle also sends OnStar the vehicle's GPS location
so they can provide services where it is located.

When using the Manual
Paddle Shift feature while
in S (Sport Mode), the
current gear will be
displayed in the Driver
Information (DIC), or the
Head-Up Display (HUD),
if the vehicle has either of
these features.
If the vehicle has a Navigation system, see “Head-Up
Display (HUD)” in the Index of the navigation manual.
The Manual Paddle Shift system will not allow either an
up-shift or a down-shift if the vehicle speed is too fast
or too slow, nor will it allow a start from 4 (Fourth) or
higher gear
If up-shifting does not occur when needed, vehicle
speed will be limited to protect the engine.
When the transmission gear does not respond to a shift
change, the DIC will show an X over the gear display. When a requested shift is
denied due to the speed
restrictions shown, the
DIC will momentarily
show an X over the gear
display and a chime will
sound.
If the vehicle has a HUD, and the transmission gear
does not respond to a shift change, a chime will sound
and the HUD will momentarily show an X over the gear
display.
Manual Paddle Shift operation is available for use with
Cruise Control. See Cruise Control
on page 4‑7for
more information.
The vehicle speeds required for Manual Paddle Shift
up-shifts depend on several vehicle inputs, which will
vary the allowed up-shift speed by a few mph (km/h).

Boost Gauge (ZR1 Only)
United StatesCanada
For vehicles that have this gauge, it is located near the
driver side of the instrument panel cluster.
This gauge indicates vacuum during light to moderate
throttle and boost under heavier throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in the intake manifold
before it enters the engine's combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered at zero every
time the engine is started. Actual vacuum or boost is
displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient
pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing
weather, will slightly change the zero reading.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) display is located
on the instrument panel cluster and shows driver
personalization features and warning/status messages.
The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, to
the right of the cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is turned on.
After displaying CORVETTE BY CHEVROLET, the DIC
shows the information that was last displayed before the
engine was turned off.
If a problem is detected, a warning message appears
on the DIC display. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑52for more information.
DIC Operation and Displays
Depending on the features on the vehicle, the drive
gear may display on the DIC. See “Manual Paddle Shift”
under Automatic Transmission Operation
on page 3‑26and“Head-Up Display (HUD)” in the index of the
Navigation system manual for more information.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different
modes which can be accessed by pressing the
following buttons located on the instrument panel,
to the right of the instrument panel cluster.
