{WARNING:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your
field of view, it may take you more time to see
things you need to see when it is dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
For vehicles with the Head-Up Display (HUD), you can
see some of the driver information that appears on the
instrument panel cluster. The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward the
front of the vehicle. The HUD consists of the following
information:
.Speedometer
.Turn Signal Indicators
.High-Beam Indicator Symbol
.Tachometer
.Manual Paddle Shift Gear Indicator (If Equipped)
These displays on the HUD are for use when
using the manual paddle shift controls to shift
the transmission. See
“Manual Paddle Shift”in
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 3‑26.
.Shift Light
This light is used for performance driving to
indicate that the vehicle's best performance level
has been reached to shift the transmission into the
next higher gear. An arrow pointing up will light up
on the display just prior to reaching the engine fuel
cut-off mode. This cut-off is about 6,500 RPM for
the LS3 engine, 6,600 RPM for the LS9 & ZR1
engines and 7,000 RPM for the LS7 engine.
.Check Gauges Warning
.Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
4-16

This light comes on briefly while starting the engine. If it
does not come on, have it fixed so it is ready to warn if
there is a problem.
{WARNING:
The brake system might not be working properly if
the brake system warning light is on. Driving with
the brake system warning light on can lead to a
crash. If the light is still on after the vehicle has
been pulled off the road and carefully stopped,
have the vehicle towed for service.
If this warning light stays on after the engine is started,
the parking brake may still be set or there could be a
brake problem. Refer to Parking Brake
on page 3‑34to
see if it is set. If the parking brake is not set, have the
brake system inspected right away.
If the light comes on while driving and a CHECK
BRAKE FLUID message shows on the DIC, pull off the
road and stop carefully. The pedal may be harder to
push or the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take
longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service. See Towing Your Vehicle
on
page 5‑33and DIC Warnings and Messageson
page 4‑52for more information.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
For vehicles with the
Antilock Brake System
(ABS), this light comes on
briefly when the engine is
started.
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/
retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator
light then goes off.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off. If the light
comes on while driving, stop as soon as it is safely
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the ABS light stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light is not
on, the vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is also on, the
vehicle does not have antilock brakes and there is a
problem with the regular brakes. See Brake System
Warning Light on page 4‑36.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see
DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑52for all
brake related DIC messages.

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.
When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a
chime sounds and LOW FUEL appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display. There is still a little fuel
left, but the vehicle's fuel tank should be filled soon.
Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC
message(s). Pressing the RESET button also turns off a
DIC message but the LOW FUEL message comes on
again in 10 minutes if fuel is not added to the vehicle. Here are five things that some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gauge.
.At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gauge reads the full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gauge indicated. For example, the gauge may
have indicated half full, but it took a little more or
less than half of the tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.The gauge pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
.The gauge may not indicate the tank is empty
when the ignition is turned off.
.The gauge reading may change slightly within the
first several minutes after starting the vehicle.

on page 4‑47for
