Speedometer

The speedometer shows the speed
in either kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). For more
information see “Personal Options”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑55
.

Odometer

To read the odometer with the
ignition off, turn on the parking
lamps.

If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, the mileage total of the
new odometer will be set to the
original kilometers (miles) of the old
odometer. See your dealer if the
odometer must be replaced in the
vehicle.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays the engine
speed in thousands of revolutions
per minute (rpm).

Notice: Fuel shuts off at about
6500 rpm for the base model,
7000 rpm for the ZO6 model, and
6600 rpm for the ZR1 model. If the
vehicle continues to be driven at
the fuel shut off rpm, the engine
could be damaged. Be sure to
operate the vehicle below the
fuel shut off rpm or reduce the
vehicle's rpm quickly when the
fuel shuts off.

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows how much
fuel the vehicle has left while the
engine is on.

An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle
the fuel door is on.
