Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in either
miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
There
is
only one scale for mph and km/h. When you
press the
E/M
(English/metric) button on the Driver
Information Center
(DIC),
the cluster will calculate the
proper speed and move the needle
to
the correct
position. Either the
MPH
or the km/h telltale will
illuminate, depending on which measurement you
choose.
To read the odometer with the ignition
off,
turn on the
parking lamps.
You
may
wonder what happens
if
your vehicle needs
a
new odometer installed. The mileage total of the
new odometer will be set to the original miles
(kilometers) of the old odometer. See your dealer
if
the
odometer must be replaced in your vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut
off
at about
6200
rpm
(6500
rpm for
Z06).
If you continue to drive your vehicle at the fuel shut
off
rpm, you could damage your engine. Be sure
to operate your vehicle below the fuel shut
off
rpm or
reduce your rpm quickly when the fuel shuts
off.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to
ON
or START, a chime will
come on for several seconds
to
remind people to fasten
their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on
until the driver’s belt is
buckled.
