(DMC) DRIVER MODE SCREENS- PAGE 1 of 2
If you leave the screens tied to the driving mode, you'll become most familiar
with the default Tour screen, indicated by a drawing of a road in the bottom
center and cool blue tones. It features a dial-style tachometer in the center with
speed and gear position in the center. To the left are two customizable tiles (top
and bottom), which in these photos are displaying the electronically controlled
limited-slip differential's status on top and tire pressures and temperatures on
the bottom. You can choose from those as well as battery, fuel economy, g-
force, oil temperature, oil pressure, and transmission fluid. On the right is the
Driver Information Center, a multifunction display that scrolls through six pages:
the trip computer, stereo, performance, maintenance, options (settings), and
"Simplify," each with its own submenus as you scroll down. In the photos, ours
is on the Performance Timer display in the Performance page. "Simplify" makes
the tiles on the left side disappear. The Tour mode offers up basic information
you'll want to see at a glance. There's a super easy-to-read tachometer front and
center with a digital speedometer right below it. Chevy gives you some warning
as you approach redline with the yellow and orange transparent dashes leading
up to solid redline at 6,600 rpm.
You'll be next-best acquainted with the Sport screen, as the car will restart in
Sport mode if you left it in Sport the last time you turned it off (same for Tour,
but it won't work for any other mode). Sport gets angrier red tones and a more
stylized tachometer to let you know it means business, and the gear position
indicator moves to the center and bumps the speedometer down and to the
right. In case you're unsure, a drawing of a twisty road and a tachometer at the
bottom also indicate Sport mode. The customizable displays to the left and right
of the tachometer remain the same as Tour mode. The Sport mode ratchets
things up a notch by giving you a racy red background and tightening up the
tachometer. It adds little dashes between the numbers and prioritizes gear
position over the digital speedometer. Vital temperatures are also displayed off
to the left, but we imagine both sides are scrollable with much more data.
This is where the big changes happen. All the other modes keep the same
layout, but Track tosses most of it out the window. The tachometer is now a
strip across the top of the screen, closest to the driver's line of sight. The gear
indicator is big and smack in the center where you can't miss it, the speed just
below that. To the left, there are now four customizable tiles with big, easy-to-
read fonts. Ours is set up to show the limited-slip differential status, oil
temperature, tire temperatures and pressures, and g-forces. The right side
display remains the same as the other modes with its multiple pages and
submenus, and the water temp and fuel gauges stay where they are at the
bottom. A drawing of a racetrack at the bottom center.
