Storage Areas
Glove Box
Open the glove box by lifting up on the lever. Use the
key to lock and unlock the lighted glove box.
Cupholders
Two cupholders are located on the center console next
to the shift lever. Slide the handle from the left to the
right side to access the lid.
Center Console Storage
To use this storage area, pull the cover up on the
driver side front edge of the console and swing it to
the passenger side.
Floor Mats
The floor mats are specially designed to remain in
position under your feet and out of reach of the
accelerator pedal. The driver's side floor mat is held
in place by two locator hooks and the passenger's
side is held in place by one.
Be sure that the driver's side floor mat is properly
placed on the floor so that it does not block the
movement of the accelerator pedal.
How to Remove and Replace the
Floor Mats
To remove the floor mats,
pull up on the rear of the
mat to disconnect from
the locator hooks.
To reinstall the floor mats, line up the openings in the
floor mat over the locator hooks and push down into
place.

Battery Run-Down Protection
This vehicle has a feature to help prevent the battery
from being drained in case any of the following lamps
are left on; the underhood lamp, if your vehicle has
this feature, vanity mirror lamps, cargo lamps, reading
lamps, console or glove box lamps. If any of these
lamps are left on, they will automatically time-out after
about 10 minutes. To reset it, all of the above lamps
must be turned off or the ignition key on.
Head-Up Display (HUD)
{WARNING:
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 is dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
For vehicles with the Head-Up Display (HUD), you can
see some of the driver information that appears on the
instrument panel cluster. The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward the
front of the vehicle. The HUD consists of the following
information:
.Speedometer
.Turn Signal Indicators
.High-Beam Indicator Symbol
.Tachometer
.Manual Paddle Shift Gear Indicator (If Equipped)
These displays on the HUD are for use when
using the manual paddle shift controls to shift
the transmission. See
“Manual Paddle Shift”in
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 3‑26.
.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. An arrow pointing up will light up
on the display just prior to reaching the engine fuel
cut-off mode. This cut-off is about 6,500 RPM for
the LS3 engine, 6,600 RPM for the LS9 & ZR1
engines and 7,000 RPM for the LS7 engine.

MAXIMUM SPEED 129 km/h (80 MPH)
This message displays when a malfunction is present in
the Selective Ride Control system. The vehicle speed
will be limited to a value determined by the vehicle
when the shock absorber system has failed and the
shocks are in their full soft mode. Have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer/retailer as soon as possible.
To acknowledge the message, press the RESET button.
The message reappears every 10 minutes until this
condition changes.
NO FOBS DETECTED
This message displays if the vehicle does not detect the
presence of a keyless access transmitter when you
have attempted to start the vehicle or a vehicle door
has just closed. The following conditions may cause this
message to appear:
.Driver-added equipment plugged into the
accessory power outlet on the center console
is causing interference. Examples of these
devices are cell phones and cell phone chargers,
two-way radios, power inverters, or similar items.
Try moving the keyless access transmitter away
from these devices when starting the vehicle.
In addition, PDA devices and remote garage and
gate openers may also generate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) that may interfere with the keyless access transmitter. Do not carry the
keyless access transmitter in the same pocket or
bag as these devices.
.The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as
airports, automatic toll booths, and some gas
stations have EMI fields which may interfere
with the keyless access transmitter.
If moving the transmitter to different locations
within the vehicle does not help, place the
transmitter in the glove box transmitter pocket
with the buttons facing to the right and then
press the START button.
.The vehicle's battery voltage is low. The battery
voltage must be above 10 volts for the keyless
access transmitter to be detected properly.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice: Do not add anything electrical to the vehicle
unless you check with your dealer/retailer first.
Some electrical equipment can damage the vehicle
and the damage would not be covered by the
vehicle's warranty. Some add-on electrical
equipment can keep other components from
working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain the vehicle battery, even if
the vehicle is not operating. The vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting
to add anything electrical to the vehicle, see
Servicing
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
on page 2‑58and
Adding Equipment to Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicleon
page 2‑59.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses in the fuse
block. An electrical overload will cause the lamps to turn
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem,
have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power seats, power
windows, and other power accessories. When the
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed
or goes away.
