Performance
Press the thumbwheel to enter the
Performance menu. Scroll through the
available items.
G-force : Gives the driver an indication of
the vehicle performance in cornering. The
G-force gauge will show as an info tile on
the left side of the cluster, if selected.
Friction Bubble : A four quadrant visual
display, indicative of the four corners of the
car, with a “bubble”showing where the
most inertia is being exerted on the vehicle.
Performance Timer : Press the thumbwheel
to enter the setup menu, then select Set
Start Speed. Scroll to desired Start Speed,
then press the thumbwheel to save it. While
on this menu, to change the End Speed,
scroll to End Speed and use the thumbwheel
to scroll to desired End Speed. Press the thumbwheel to save it. On the next
acceleration, the performance timer will
record the time. Pressing the thumbwheel
while the timer is running will cancel the
timer if done before reaching the End Speed.
Lap Timer (without PDR) :
Press
Twhen
Lap Timer is displayed to start, stop, or reset
the lap timer. Press the thumbwheel while
the Lap Timer page is active to start the
timer. If the lap timer is active, pressing the
thumbwheel will stop the current lap timer
and start a new lap. Pressing the
thumbwheel within 10 seconds after
completing the last lap (Stop Lap Timer
option is displayed), the Lap Timer will stop.
Lap Timer (with PDR) : The lap times
recorded with the PDR system will
automatically be displayed in this window.
This only happens if a track has been
selected in the PDR system and a video
recording is started. See Performance Data
Recorder (PDR) 0140.
Oil Temperature : Shows the current oil
temperature in either degrees Celsius (°C) or
degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Oil Pressure : Shows the current oil pressure
in either kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per
square inch (psi). Battery Voltage :
Shows the current battery
voltage.
Transmission Fluid Temperature : Shows the
temperature of the transmission fluid in
either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees
Fahrenheit (°F).
Tire Status : Shows individual tire pressures
and overall temperature as either Cold, Cool,
Normal, Warm, or Hot. Normal is typical for
normal driving while Warm is typical for
aggressive driving. Unknown may be
displayed if tire temperature information is
unavailable.
eLSD (Z51 Only) : Displays the amount of
rear differential coupling when the Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) is active and
functioning during vehicle operation.
A reading of 1% is an open differential and
100% is locked. It is normal for the value to
make small or large changes due to driving
conditions and driver inputs. See Limited-Slip
Differential (Without Z51) 0216 or
Limited-Slip Differential (With Z51) 0216.
Front Lift : During a driver requested Front
Lift (if equipped), the driver may
"remember" using the
S, or dismiss the
display by pressing the thumbwheel. When
the Front Lift is Raised due to location, the

184 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
vehicle occupants could drown. Do not
ignore police warnings and be very
cautious about trying to drive through
flowing water.
Caution
Driving through deep puddles or standing
water can cause water to come in
through the engine air intake and
damage the engine. If deep puddles or
standing water cannot be avoided,
proceed with caution and do not exceed
8 km/h (5 mph). Do not drive through
water that may come close to or cover
the vehicle’s underbody.
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build
up under the vehicle's tires so they actually
ride on the water. This can happen if the
road is wet enough and you are going fast
enough. When the vehicle is hydroplaning, it
has little or no contact with the road.There is no hard and fast rule about
hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow
down when the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other wet weather
driving tips include:
.Allow extra following distance.
.Pass with caution.
.Keep windshield wiping equipment in
good shape.
.Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir
filled.
.Have good tires with proper tread depth.
See
Tires 0259.
.Turn off cruise control.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or through mountains
is different than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Tips include:
.When driving downhill in D (Drive), the
vehicle may automatically downshift to
assist with speed control.
.A lower gear may also be selected to
provide further speed control.
{Warning
Using the brakes to slow the vehicle on a
long downhill slope can cause brake
overheating, can reduce brake
performance, and could result in a loss of
braking. Shift the transmission to a lower
gear to let the engine assist the brakes
on a steep downhill slope.
{Warning
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with
the ignition off is dangerous. This can
cause overheating of the brakes and loss
of steering assist. Always have the engine
running and the vehicle in gear.
.Drive at speeds that keep the vehicle in
its own lane. Do not swing wide or cross
the center line.
.Be alert on top of hills; something could
be in your lane (e.g., stalled car, crash).
.Pay attention to special road signs (e.g.,
falling rocks area, winding roads, long
grades, passing or no-passing zones) and
take appropriate action.

Engine Exhaust{
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO), which cannot be seen or smelled.
Exposure to CO can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
Exhaust may enter the vehicle if:
.The vehicle idles in areas with poor
ventilation (parking garages, tunnels,
deep snow that may block underbody
airflow or tail pipes).
.The exhaust smells or sounds strange
or different.
.The exhaust system leaks due to
corrosion or damage.
.The vehicle exhaust system has been
modified, damaged, or improperly
repaired.
.There are holes or openings in the
vehicle body from damage or
aftermarket modifications that are not
completely sealed. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If unusual fumes are detected or if it is
suspected that exhaust is coming into the
vehicle:
.Drive it only with the windows
completely down.
.Have the vehicle repaired immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the engine
running in an enclosed area such as a
garage or a building that has no fresh air
ventilation.
{Warning
To prevent exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle and heat from damaging the
vehicle, the engine cover and all fluid fill
plugs must be secured before closing the
tonneau cover (convertible only) and
operating the vehicle. Make sure all bolts
are torqued to GM specifications.
Running the Vehicle While Parked
It is better not to park with the engine
running. If the vehicle is left with the engine running,
follow the proper steps to be sure the
vehicle will not move. See
Shifting Into Park
0 193 and
Engine Exhaust 0195.
Dual Clutch Transmission
This vehicle is equipped with a dual clutch
transmission that contains an integrated
rear differential. The dual clutch
transmission provides an extremely
connected feel due to the direct connection
between the engine and gear box. This
arrangement provides very fast shift times
for maximum performance. Automatic
driving mode is selected by pulling D on the
transmission range selection panel and
