5-10 Instruments and Controls
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge shows about how much fuel
the vehicle has left in the fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge shows
the side of the vehicle on which the
fuel door is located.
The gauge indicates empty before
the vehicle is out of fuel, to show
that the vehicle's fuel tank should be
filled soon.
When the fuel tank is low on fuel, a
FUEL LEVEL LOW message will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For more information
seeFuel System Messages on
page 5-36. Here are some situations that can
occur with the fuel gauge. None of
these indicate a problem with the
fuel gauge.
.At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.The pointer on the fuel gauge is
on empty when the ignition is off.

Trip 1 and Trip 2
The Trip display shows the current
distance traveled, in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since
the last reset for the trip odometer.
The trip odometer can be reset to
zero by pressing the trip reset stem
or the SET/CLR button while the trip
odometer display is showing.
Fuel Range
The Fuel Range display shows the
approximate distance the vehicle
can be driven without refueling. The
fuel range estimate is based on an
average of the vehicle's fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. Fuel range cannot be
reset.
Average Fuel Economy
The Average Fuel Economy display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number reflects only the
approximate average fuel economythat the vehicle has right now, and
will change as driving conditions
change. This number is calculated
based on the number of L/
100 km (mpg) recorded since the
last time this menu item was reset.
The fuel economy can be reset by
pressing the SET/CLR button while
the Average Fuel Economy display
is showing.
Average Vehicle Speed
The Average Vehicle Speed display
shows the average speed of the
vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This
average is calculated based on the
various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset of this value.
The average speed can be reset by
pressing the SET/CLR button while
the Average Vehicle Speed display
is showing.

The following indicator lights come
on in the instrument cluster when
activated and may also appear on
the HUD:
.Turn Signal Indicators
.High-Beam Indicator Symbol
The HUD also temporarily displays
the following messages on vehicles
with these systems, when they are
active:
.Check Tire Pressure
.Cruise Set To
.Fuel Level Low
.Speed Limited To
.Traction Control Active
.Stabilitrak Active
.Park Distance Unavailable
.Gap Alert Off
When the HUD is on, the
speedometer reading is continually
displayed. The current radio station
or CD track number may display for
a short period of time after the radio or CD track status changes. This
may happen whenever radio
information is changed. The
speedometer size is reduced when
radio, CD information, or warnings
are displayed on the HUD.
When the phone feature is
activated, the HUD will briefly
display phone information,
if available.
The HUD control is to the right of
the steering wheel.
To adjust the HUD image so that
items are properly displayed:
1. Adjust the driver seat to a
comfortable position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the HUD controls.
Use the following settings to adjust
the HUD.
OFF: Turn the HUD dimming knob
fully counterclockwise until the HUD
display turns off.
Brightness: Turn the dimming knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the display. The
HUD image will automatically dim
and brighten to compensate for
outside lighting. The HUD
brightness control can also be
adjusted as needed. The HUD
image can temporarily light up
depending on the angle and position
of the sunlight on the HUD display.
This is normal. Polarized
sunglasses could make the HUD
image harder to see.

Driving and Operating 9-29
Make sure the shift lever is fully in
P (Park) before starting the engine.
The vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. The regular brake must be
fully applied first and then the shift
lever button pressed before shifting
from P (Park) when the ignition key
is in ON/RUN. If you cannot shift out
of P (Park), ease pressure on the
shift lever, then push the shift lever
all the way into P (Park) as you
maintain brake application. Then
press the shift lever button and
move the shift lever into another
gear. SeeShifting out of Park on
page 9-25.
R (Reverse): Use this gear to
back up.
{Caution
Shifting to R (Reverse) while the
vehicle is moving forward could
damage the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
the vehicle warranty. Shift to
R (Reverse) only after the vehicle
is stopped.
To rock the vehicle back and forth to
get out of snow, ice, or sand without
damaging the transmission, see If
the Vehicle Is Stuck on page 9-13.
N (Neutral): In this position, the
engine does not connect with the
wheels. To restart the engine when
the vehicle is already moving, use
N (Neutral) only. Also, use
N (Neutral) when the vehicle is
being towed.
{Warning
Shifting into a drive gear while the
engine is running at high speed is
dangerous. Unless your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal, the
vehicle could move very rapidly.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
You could lose control and hit
people or objects. Do not shift
into a drive gear while the engine
is running at high speed.
{Caution
Shifting out of P (Park) or
N (Neutral) with the engine
running at high speed may
damage the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Be sure the
engine is not running at high
speed when shifting the vehicle.
D (Drive): This position is for
normal driving. It provides the best
fuel economy. When the ZL1 is in
D (Drive), the first shift after start will
be from 1 (First) gear. Following
starts will begin in 2 (Second) gear.

One to Four Shift Message
(V8 Only)
When this message comes on, you
can only shift from 1 (First) to
4 (Fourth) instead of 1 (First) to 2 (Second). The message will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Center.
You must complete the shift into
4 (Fourth) to turn off this feature.
This helps you get the best possible
fuel economy.
After shifting to 4 (Fourth), you may
downshift to a lower gear if you
prefer.
{Caution
Forcing the shift lever into any
gear except 4 (Fourth) when the
1
— 4 SHIFT message comes on
may damage the transmission.
Shift only from 1 (First) to
4 (Fourth) when the message
comes on.
This message will come on when:
.The engine coolant temperature
is higher than 76°C (169°F).
.The vehicle is accelerating from
a stop and going 24 to 31 km/h
(15 to 19 mph).
.The vehicle is at 21% throttle
or less.
