Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in either
miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
For more information see "Personal Options" under
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-68.
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).
Notice: Fuel will shut off at about 6600 rpm for the
base model and 7100 rpm for the Z06 model. 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 ignition is turned on, a chime will be provided
for several seconds to remind people to buckle their
safety belts. The driver safety belt light will also be
provided and stay on for several seconds, then it will flash
for several more. You should buckle your seat belt.
Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows a deployed airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag's electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the airbag
modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag
System on page 1-38.
If the driver's belt is
buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will
be provided.
