5-4 Instruments and Controls
When the windshield wiper lever
is released, additional wipes may
occur depending on how long
the windshield washer had been
activated. SeeWasher Fluid on
page 10‑28 for information on
filling the windshield washer
fluid reservoir.
{WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them.
If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged wiper blades should
be replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 10‑34.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wipers. A circuit breaker stops them
until the motor cools.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass
receives its heading and other
information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak, and vehicle speed
information.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna
for long periods of time with
objects that may interfere with
the antenna's ability to receive a
satellite signal. See Backglass
Antenna on page 7‑13 andSatellite
Radio Antenna on page 7‑14 for the
location of the vehicle's antennas.
The compass system is designed
to operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive
a GPS signal. The compass
system will automatically determine
when the GPS signal is restored
and provide a heading again.
See
Compass Messages on
page 5‑35 for more information
on the messages that may be
displayed for the compass.
Clock
The infotainment system controls
are used to access the time and
date settings through the menu
system. See Operation on page 7‑4
for information about how to use the
menu system.

Power Outlets
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets; one is located below
the climate control system and the
other is inside the center storage
console. They can be used to plug
in electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone or an MP3 player.
The accessory power outlets do not
work when the key is removed from
the ignition and the driver door is
opened. This helps to preserve the
battery life of the vehicle.

Black plate (6,1)Chevrolet Camaro Owner Manual - 2011
5-6 Instruments and Controls
Certain power accessory plugs
may not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload vehicle and adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see
your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included
with the equipment. SeeAdd-On
Electrical Equipment on page 9‑60.
Notice: Hanging heavy
equipment from the power
outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed
for accessory power plugs only,
such as cell phone charge cords.Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to
the warning lights and gauges
could prevent injury.
Warning lights come on when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Some warning lights come
on briefly when the engine is started
to indicate they are working. Gauges can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to indicate a
problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
and even dangerous.
