Battery Gauge (High Voltage)
This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge, and is shown in the Shuttle and
Stealth mode. The value at the left is an
estimate of how much high voltage battery
state of charge remains.
The fill bars shown inside of the gauge
indicate the percentage of state of charge
value shown at the left.
When the high voltage battery state of
charge level is depleted, the gauge will
change color to red. Additional alerts may
display at low state of charge.
Stealth Drive Mode Capability
Gauge
The electric power indicator gauge is in the
middle of the display to the left of the
speedometer, and is shown in the
Stealth mode.
This gauge displays the propulsion capability
of the high voltage battery and electric
motor. The needle on the gauge moves
toward the top of the gauge as the
accelerator pedal is pressed and the vehicle
speed increases. The engine will
automatically start when the electric
capability is exceeded or when the vehicle
exceeds 73 km/h (45 mph). When the engine
starts, a series or red, yellow, and greenmessages will appear over the speedometer
displaying the progress. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) also displays a
message. See
“Stealth Drive Mode” inDriver
Mode Control 0196.
Fuel Gauge
Metric
English
When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge
indicates about how much fuel is left in
the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel
door is on.

Instruments and Controls 87
When the indicator nears empty, the low
fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel
left, but the vehicle should be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less fuel to fill up
than it indicates. For example, the gauge
may have indicated the tank is half full,
but it actually will take a little more,
or less than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.Moves a little while turning a corner,
speeding up, or braking.
.Take a few seconds to stabilize after the
ignition is turned on and goes back to
empty when the ignition is turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of which
indicate a problem with the fuel gauge.
Hybrid Battery Charging Light
(Charge+)
If equipped, this light comes on when the
Charge+ Switch is pressed and indicates the
increase to the high voltage battery charge.
The state of charge status is displayed in
the HYBRID BATTERY info tile. See “Info
Tiles” inInstrument Cluster 081.
Hybrid Battery Charging (Charge+) will
display messages in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver Mode Control 0196.
Power Indicator Gauge
The electric power indicator gauge is in the
bottom of the display to the right of the
speedometer, and is only shown in the
Shuttle mode.
This gauge displays the instantaneous
consumption power of the high voltage
battery. Maximum power consumption is
available when the high voltage battery is
fully charged.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge shows the engine coolant
temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves into the red
zone, the engine is too hot.
This reading indicates the same thing as the
warning light. It means that the engine
coolant has overheated. If the vehicle has
been operating under normal driving
conditions, pull off the road, stop the
vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as
possible. See Engine Overheating 0261 for
more information.

away. SeeAirbag Readiness Light 088
for more information, including important
safety information.
Charging System Light (12-Volt
Battery)
The charging system light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a check to show
the light is working. It should go out when
the engine is started.
If the light stays on, or comes on while
driving, there may be a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it checked
by your dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is flashing, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) also displays
a message. If a short distance must be driven with the
light on, be sure to turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air conditioner. Find a
safe place to stop the vehicle.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Check Engine Light)
This light is part of the vehicle’s emission
control on-board diagnostic system. If this
light is on while the engine is running, a
malfunction has been detected and the
vehicle may require service. The light should
come on to show that it is working when
the ignition is in Service Mode. See
Ignition
Positions 0178.
Malfunctions are often indicated by the
system before any problem is noticeable.
Being aware of the light and seeking service
promptly when it comes on may prevent
damage.
Caution
If the vehicle is driven continually with
this light on, the emission control system
may not work as well, the fuel economy
may be lower, and the vehicle may not
run smoothly. This could lead to costly
repairs that might not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Caution
Modifications to the engine, transmission,
exhaust, intake, or fuel system, or the
use of replacement tires that do not
meet the original tire specifications, can
cause this light to come on. This could
lead to costly repairs not covered by the
vehicle warranty. This could also affect
the vehicle’s ability to pass an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications 0232.
If the light is flashing : A malfunction has
been detected that could damage the
emission control system and increase vehicle
emissions. Diagnosis and service may be
required.

Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
17272984) - 2024 - CRC - 2/20/23
Instruments and Controls 91
To help prevent damage, reduce vehicle
speed and avoid hard accelerations and
uphill grades.
If the light continues to flash, find a safe
place to park. Turn the vehicle off and wait
at least 10 seconds before restarting the
engine. If the light is still flashing, follow
the previous guidelines and see your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
If the light is on steady :A malfunction has
been detected. Diagnosis and service may be
required.
Check the following:
.If fuel has been added to the vehicle
using the capless funnel adapter, make
sure that it has been removed. See
“Filling the Tank with a Portable Gas Can”
under Filling the Tank 0228. The
diagnostic system can detect if the
adapter has been left installed in the
vehicle, allowing fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. A few driving trips with
the adapter removed may turn off the
light.
.Poor fuel quality can cause inefficient
engine operation and poor driveability,
which may go away once the engine is
warmed up. If this occurs, change the fuel brand. It may require at least one full
tank of the proper fuel to turn the light
off. See
Recommended Fuel 0227.
If the light remains on, see your dealer.
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
If the vehicle requires an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test, the test
equipment will likely connect to the
vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC).
The DLC is under the instrument panel to
the left of the steering wheel. Connecting
devices that are not used to perform an
Emissions Inspection/Maintenance test or to
service the vehicle may affect vehicle
operation. See Add-On Electrical Equipment
0 230. See your dealer if assistance is
needed.
The vehicle may not pass inspection if:
.The light is on when the engine is
running.
.The light does not come on when the
ignition is in Service Mode.
.Critical emission control systems have not
been completely diagnosed. If this
happens, the vehicle would not be ready
for inspection and may require
several days of routine driving before the
system is ready for inspection. This can
happen if the 12-volt battery has recently
been replaced or run down, or if the
vehicle has been recently serviced.
See your dealer if the vehicle will not pass
or cannot be made ready for the test.
Front Lift System Light
If equipped, this light will flash to indicate
when the front of the vehicle is being raised
or lowered. An up or down arrow in the
