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.

Caution
The engine coolant temperature warning
light indicates that the vehicle has
overheated. Driving with this light on can
damage the engine and it may not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. See

Driving and Operating 161
Check the oil level often during track events
and competitive driving. See“Checking the
Engine Oil" in Engine Oil (5.5L LT6 Engine)
0 246 or
Engine Oil (6.2L LT2 Engine) 0249.
Engine Cooling
If reduced performance is experienced during
track events or competitive driving, turning
off the A/C will help to improve engine
performance.
Maintain a mixture of 40% DEX-COOL
coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to
optimize engine performance.
For vehicles with the optional Grille Screen
Guards (VWE), remove them for track events
when the ambient temperature reaches
32° C (90° F) or higher. See your dealer for
complete procedure.
If equipped, remove the front license plate
and bracket (if installed) and remove the
front aero covers before track use. See your
dealer for complete procedure.
Fuel
Unleaded gasoline, rated at 93 octane or
higher, is required.
Caution
Some high octane fuels contain additives
and compounds that may damage the
vehicle and void the vehicle warranty. See
Prohibited Fuels 0227.
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Fluid
The transmission fluid and external canister
filter should be changed after every 24 hours
of track use. Change the fluid and external
canister filter as soon as possible if
prompted by the transmission fluid life
monitor that remaining fluid life is low.
With the transmission at factory fluid fill,
there is no additional fluid needed for track
usage. Any transmission level set or change
should be performed at your dealer.
Front Hybrid Drive Unit Fluid (E-Ray)
If equipped, the front hybrid drive unit fluid
should be changed after every 15 hours of
track use. This procedure can be complex,
see your dealer.

below. You should not need to remove the
entire engine cover for regular maintenance.
For access to maintenance items, pull up on
the tab on the access hole plug, and fold
the plug out of the way. The hinges retain
the plugs so they will not be misplaced. To
close the plug, snap it back into place.
Before closing the rear tonneau cover,
confirm that the access hole plugs on the
