trips should turn the light off. • Make sure to fuel the vehicle with quality fuel. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and may cause: stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. See Gasoline Octane on page 6-6. 4-41 If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. The dealer/retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to ﬁx any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or might begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things to know to help the vehicle pass an inspection: • The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on with the engine running. To perform a check engine light bulb check with the keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob is in the passenger compartment. See Ignition Positions on page 3-22. Press the bottom of the Acc. button on the instrument panel and hold the button down for ﬁve seconds. The instrument panel, including the check engine light, will light up and the ignition will be on, but the engine will not start — press the bottom of the Acc. button only brieﬂy, less than ﬁve seconds, the accessory power mode will be turned on, but not the ignition. After the bulb check, press and release the Acc. button again to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the vehicle’s battery. • The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD II (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if the battery has recently been replaced or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD II system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. 4-42 Engine Oil Pressure Gage United States Canada United States — Z06 and ZR1 Models Canada — Z06 and ZR1 Models { WARNING: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon as possible and have the vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. The engine oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) or kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running. Oil pressure should be 140 to 550 kPa (20 to 80 psi). In certain situations such as long, extended idles on hot days, it could read as low as 40 kPa (6 psi) and still be considered normal. It may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the shaded area show the normal operating range. Readings in the shaded area tell you that the engine is low on oil, or that you might have some other oil problem. See Engine Oil on page 6-20. 4-43 The engine oil pressure can also be displayed using the GAGES button on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 4-46. Security Light Lights On Reminder This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on. For information regarding this light and the vehicle’s security system, see Theft-Deterrent System on page 3-18. The fog lamp light comes on when the fog lamps are in use. Fog Lamp Light The light goes out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 4-13 for more information. 4-44 See Headlamps on Reminder on page 4-12 for more information. Highbeam On Light This light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 4-5 for more information. Fuel Gage The fuel gage shows how much fuel the vehicle has left while the engine is on. An arrow on the fuel gage 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 gage. • At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads the full. • It takes a little more or less fuel to ﬁll up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage 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 gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. • The gage may not indicate the tank is empty when the ignition is turned off. • The gage reading may change slightly within the ﬁrst several minutes after starting the vehicle. See DIC Operation and Displays on page 4-46 for more information. 4-45 Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) display is located on the instrument panel cluster and shows driver personalization features and warning/status messages. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, to the right of the cluster. The DIC comes on when the ignition is turned on. After displaying CORVETTE BY CHEVROLET, the DIC shows the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. If a problem is detected, a warning message appears on the DIC display. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-51 for more information. DIC Operation and Displays Depending on the features on the vehicle, the drive gear may display on the DIC. See “Manual Paddle Shift” under Automatic Transmission Operation on page 3-26 and “Head-Up Display (HUD)” in the index of the Navigation system manual for more information. Boost Gage (ZR1 Only) United States Canada For vehicles that have this gage, it is located near the driver side of the instrument panel cluster. This gage indicates vacuum during light to moderate throttle and boost under heavier throttle. It displays the air pressure level in the intake manifold before it enters the engine’s combustion chamber. The gage is automatically centered at zero every time the engine is started. Actual vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing weather, will slightly change the zero reading. 4-46 The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different modes which can be accessed by pressing the following buttons located on the instrument panel, to the right of the instrument panel cluster. . 4 (Fuel): Press this button to display fuel information such as fuel economy and range. 2 (Gages): Press this button to display gage information like oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature, automatic transmission ﬂuid temperature, if equipped, battery voltage, and front/rear tire pressures.
