2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE tire pressure reset

.4(Fuel): Press this button to display fuel information
such as fuel economy and range.
2(Gauges): Press this button to display gauge
information like oil pressure and temperature, coolant
temperature, automatic transmission fluid temperature,
if equipped, battery voltage, and front/rear tire
pressures. TRIP :
Press this button to display your total and trip
distance driven, the elapsed time function, your average
speed, and the engine oil life.
OPTION : Press this button to choose personal options
that are available on your vehicle, depending on the
options your vehicle is equipped with, such as door
locks, easy entry seats, and language.
RESET : Press this button, used along with the other
buttons, to reset system functions, select personal
options, and turn off or acknowledge messages on
the DIC.
FUEL Button
The fuel button displays average fuel economy and
instantaneous fuel economy, calculated for your specific
driving conditions, and range information.
Average Fuel Economy : The average fuel economy is
viewed as a long-term approximation of your overall
driving conditions. You should reset the average fuel
economy display every time you refuel. If you press the
RESET button in this mode while you are driving, the
system will reset this display and begin figuring fuel
economy from that point in time.
4-48

Press the fuel button to display average fuel economy,
such as:
.AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km or
.AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG
Instantaneous Fuel Economy : Instantaneous fuel
economy reflects only the fuel economy that the vehicle
has right now and will change frequently as driving
conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy, this
menu item cannot be reset.
Press the fuel button again to display instantaneous fuel
economy, such as:
.INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km or
.INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG
Fuel Range : The range calculates the remaining
distance you can drive without refueling. It is based
on fuel economy and the fuel remaining in the tank.
Press the fuel button again to display the range,
such as:
.RANGE 48 km or
.RANGE 30 MI
If the LOW FUEL warning is displayed or if RANGE is
less than 64 km (40 miles), the display will read
RANGE LOW. The fuel economy data used to determine fuel range is
an average of recent driving conditions. As your driving
conditions change, this data is gradually updated
automatically.
If the vehicle has been idling for a long time, the
range displayed on the DIC could be abnormally low.
The vehicle must be driven 8–16 km (5–10 miles) to
get an accurate reading.
GAGES Button
The gauges button displays oil pressure, oil
temperature, coolant temperature, transmission fluid
temperature for automatic transmission vehicles only,
battery voltage, and tire pressure information.
Oil Pressure :
This display shows the oil pressure.
Press the gauges button to display the oil pressure,
such as:
.OIL PRESSURE 276 kPa or
.OIL PRESSURE 40 PSI
Oil Temperature : This display shows the oil
temperature.
Press the gauges button again to display the oil
temperature, such as:
.OIL TEMPERATURE 112°C or
.OIL TEMPERATURE 234°F
