Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the speed in either kilometers 
per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). For more 
information see “Personal Options” underDIC Vehicle 
Personalization on page 4‑71. 
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 kilometers (miles) 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 sounds for several
seconds to remind a driver to fasten the safety belt, 
unless the driver safety belt is already buckled. 
The safety belt light 
comes on and stays on
for several seconds, then 
flashes for several more. 
This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains 
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver 
safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor
the light comes on.

TRIP Button
The TRIP button displays the odometer, trip distance, 
elapsed time, average speed, and oil life remaining 
information. 
Odometer : The odometer shows how far your vehicle 
has been driven in either kilometers or miles. Press the
TRIP button to display odometer readings, such as:
.ODOMETER 20008 km or
.ODOMETER 12345 MI 
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
readings and press the button again to display TRIP 
ODOMETER B readings, such as:
.TRIP ODOMETER A 209.9 km or
.TRIP ODOMETER A 130.5 MI
.TRIP ODOMETER B 483.5 km or
.TRIP ODOMETER B 300.5 MI 
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 kilometers (miles) driven since 
you last started the vehicle. Press and hold the RESET
button for three seconds, then release it. The kilometers
(miles) 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, press 
the RESET button for three seconds while the timer is 
displayed. 
Pressing and holding the RESET button for at least 
10 seconds will reset the timer display to the time since 
last ignition cycle. 
Average Speed :  Press the TRIP button until the 
average speed is displayed, such as:
.AVERAGE SPEED 100 km/h or
.AVERAGE SPEED 62 MPH

If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts 
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original 
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have
the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
vehicle.
{WARNING:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts, 
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous. 
It could affect the braking and handling of your 
vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you 
lose control. You could have a collision in which 
you or others could be injured. Always use the 
correct wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for 
replacement.
{WARNING:
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.
{WARNING:
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.
