Head-Up Display (HUD)
{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.
If equipped with HUD, some information
concerning the operation of the vehicle is
projected onto the windshield.
The HUD information appears as an image
focused out toward the front of the vehicle.
Caution
If you try to use the HUD image as a
parking aid, you may misjudge the
distance and damage your vehicle. Do not
use the HUD image as a parking aid.
The HUD information can be displayed in
various languages. The speedometer reading
and other numerical values can be displayed
in either English or metric units.
The language selection is changed through
the radio and the units of measurement are
changed through the instrument cluster. See
Settings 0142 and “Options” under
Instrument Cluster 081.
The HUD may display different alerts and
information for vehicles equipped with these
features:
.Speedometer
.Tachometer
.Manual Paddle Shift Gear Indicator
These displays on the HUD are for use
when using the manual paddle shift
controls to shift the transmission. 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.
