Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Corvette’s odometer is tamper-resistant. It will
read
OD0 ERR if someone has tampered with it.
If a new odometer is installed, it will automatically reset
to the correct reading. If an electrical or other problem
makes setting the odometer correctly impossible, then
it’s set
at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must
show the old reading and when the new one was
installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your Corvette has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To display the trip odometer, press TRIP OD0 on the
Trip Monitor.
To reset it, press and hold RESET TRIP
for two seconds.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut off at
7200 rpm for the LT5 (Code J)
engine and at 5850 rpm for the LT1, (Code P) engine.
If you continue to drive your Corvette at the fuel shut
off rpm, you could damage your engine. Be sure to
operate your Corvette below the fuel shut
off rpm or
reduce your rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off.
Warning Lights, Gauges and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gauges could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come
on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come
on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gauges can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one
of your vehicle’s functions. Often gauges and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one
of the gauges shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to
do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gauges. They’re a big help.
