To check or replace the air ﬁlter, do the following: 1. Undo the passenger compartment air ﬁlter housing cover retainer clips (A). 2. Remove the passenger compartment air ﬁlter housing cover. 3-31 expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on brieﬂy when you start the engine just to let you know they are working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there is a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly — and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They are a big help. Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center that works along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-49. 3. Remove the passenger compartment air ﬁlter from the housing. 4. Insert the new ﬁlter into the housing. 5. Reinstall the passenger compartment air ﬁlter housing cover. 6. Attach the passenger compartment air ﬁlter housing cover retainer clips. Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an 3-32 Instrument Panel Cluster Your instrument panel cluster and Driver Information Center (DIC) are designed to let you know at a glance how the vehicle is running. You will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel you have left and many other things you will need to know to drive safely and economically. The instrument panel cluster indicator warning lights, gages and DIC messages are explained on the following pages. United States Manual Transmission shown, Canada, Automatic Transmission and Z06 Model similar 3-33 Safety Belt Reminders Safety Belt Reminder Light When the engine is started, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled. The safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). For more information see “Personal Options” under DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-72. To read the odometer with the ignition off, turn on the parking lamps. If your vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the mileage total of the new odometer will be set to the original miles (kilometers) of the old odometer. See your dealer/retailer if the odometer must be replaced in your vehicle. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Notice: Fuel will shut off at about 6500 rpm for the base model and 7000 rpm for the Z06 model. If you continue to drive your vehicle at the fuel shut off rpm, you could damage your engine. Be sure to operate your vehicle below the fuel shut off rpm or reduce your rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off. 3-34 Airbag Readiness Light There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-44. This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will ﬂash for a few seconds. The light should go out and the system is ready. If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. The airbags in your vehicle may not inﬂate in a crash, or they could even inﬂate without a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle. The airbag readiness light should ﬂash for a few seconds when you start the engine. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed immediately. If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag Driver Information Center (DIC) message may also come on. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for more information. 3-35 Passenger Airbag Status Indicator Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system. Your rearview mirror has a passenger airbag status indicator. United States Canada When you start the vehicle, the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator will 3-36 light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol, to let you know the status to let you know the status of the right front passenger’s frontal and seat-mounted side impact airbags (if equipped). If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped) are enabled (may inﬂate). {CAUTION: If the on indicator comes on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the right front passenger’s seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger’s frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped). A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger’s airbag inﬂates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inﬂating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat if the airbag is turned on. {CAUTION: Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped) if the system detects a rear-facing child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child restraints be secured in a rear seat, even if the airbag is or airbags are off. If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped). See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-52 for more on this, including important safety information. If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing system. See your dealer/retailer for service. {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced promptly, because an adult-size person sitting in the right front passenger’s seat may not have the protection of the airbag(s). See Airbag Readiness Light on page 3-35 for more on this, including important safety information. 3-37 Voltmeter Gage The voltmeter shows the voltage output of your battery. When the engine is running, it shows the voltage output of the charging system. One-to-Four Shift Light (Manual Transmission) When this light comes on, you can only shift from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) instead of FIRST (1) to SECOND (2). The reading will change as the rate of charge changes (with engine speed, for example), but if the voltmeter reads at 9 volts or below, your instrument panel cluster and other systems may shut down. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will read BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW when your vehicle is at 10 volts or below. Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter reading at 10 volts or below could drain your battery and disable your vehicle. 3-38 You must complete the shift into FOURTH (4) to turn off this feature. This helps you get the best possible fuel economy. After shifting to FOURTH (4), you may downshift to a lower gear if you prefer. Notice: Forcing the shift lever into any gear except FOURTH (4) when the 1 TO 4 SHIFT light comes on may damage the transmission. Shift only from FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) when the light comes on. This light will come on when: The engine coolant temperature is higher than 169°F (76°C), the vehicle is going 15 to 19 mph (24 to 31 km/h) and the vehicle 21 percent throttle or less. (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part is not working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. United States Canada This light should come on when you start the engine. If it does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If this warning light stays on after you start the engine, the parking brake may still be set or there could be a brake problem. Refer to Parking Brake on page 2-34 to see if it is set. If the parking brake is not set, have your brake system inspected right away. If the light comes on while you are driving and you have a CHECK BRAKE FLUID message showing on the DIC, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is 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 4-29 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for more information. {CAUTION: Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you have pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for service. 3-39 Antilock Brake System Warning Light Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light For vehicles with the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light will come on brieﬂy when you start the engine. This light should come on brieﬂy as you start the engine. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. That is normal. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off, if the light comes on when you are 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 still stays on, or comes on again while you are driving, your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you do not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-39 For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for all brake related DIC messages. 3-40 If it stays on, or comes on and the Driver Information Center (DIC) shows a SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM message when you are driving, there is a problem with your Traction Control System (TCS) and your vehicle needs service. When this light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. If the driver turns off the TCS by pressing the button on the console, the TCS light will come on and the TRACTION SYSTEM OFF message will show on the DIC. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for more information. Active Handling System Light The Active Handling System light will come on brieﬂy as you start the engine. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. This light will also come on when the ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING message is displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC). If the light stays on or comes on while you are driving, a chime sounds and a SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM message appears on the DIC, there is a problem with your Active Handling System and your vehicle needs service. When the system is working, you will see the ACTIVE HANDLING message displayed in the DIC. You may also feel or hear the system working. This is normal. If the driver turns off the Active Handling System by pressing the button on the console for ﬁve seconds, the Active Handling System light will come on, a chime will sound, and the TRACTION SYSTEM AND ACTIVE HANDLING – OFF message will be displayed in the DIC. The Traction Control System will also be turned off. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for more information. If the Active Handling System and the Traction Control System are off, pressing the console button momentarily will turn both systems on. The DIC will display the TRACTION SYSTEM AND ACTIVE HANDLING – ON message, the instrument cluster light will be off, and a chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for more information. The driver can acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET button. When the SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM message is displayed in the DIC, the Active Handling System will not assist you in controlling the vehicle. You should have the system serviced as soon as possible. Adjust your driving accordingly. 3-41 Engine Coolant Temperature Gage Tire Pressure Light This light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started. United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, your engine is too hot. This means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you have been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 5-31 for more information. 3-42 This light will also come on when one or more of your tires are signiﬁcantly underinﬂated. A tire pressure message in the Driver Information Center (DIC), may accompany the light. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for more information. Stop and check your tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If underinﬂated, inﬂate to the proper pressure. See Tires on page 5-58 for more information. If a problem is detected with the Tire Pressure Monitor System, this light will ﬂash for approximately 60 seconds and then stay on solid for the remainder of the ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-68 for more information. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It makes sure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. The check engine light comes on to indicate that there is an OBD II problem and service is required. Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. This can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: this light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, your vehicle’s fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by your warranty. If you keep driving your vehicle with Notice: Modiﬁcations made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of your vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect your vehicle’s emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modiﬁcations to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 5-3. This light comes on brieﬂy, as a check to show it is working, as you start the engine. If the light does not come on, have it repaired. This light also comes on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing — A misﬁre condition has been detected. A misﬁre increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. Light On Steady — An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. 3-43 (cid:129) (cid:129) If the Light Is Flashing The following can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle: (cid:129) Reduce vehicle speed. (cid:129) Avoid hard accelerations. (cid:129) Avoid steep uphill grades. If the light stops ﬂashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light continues to ﬂash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still ﬂashing, follow the previous steps, and see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. If the Light Is On Steady You might be able to correct the emission system malfunction by considering the following: Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle? If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install the cap. See Filling the Tank on page 5-8. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. 3-44 Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If so, your vehicle’s electrical system might be wet. The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You might notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration — these conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. This will be detected by the system and cause the light to turn on. If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. If none of the above steps have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. Your 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 your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on or not working properly. 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 2-22. 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 — if you 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, be sure to press and release the Acc. button again to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the vehicle’s battery. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (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 you have recently replaced the battery or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. 3-45 Engine Oil Pressure Gage United States Canada United States — Z06 Model Canada — Z06 Model 3-46 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 20 to 80 psi (140 to 550 kPa). In certain situations such as long, extended idles on hot days, it could read as low as 6 psi (40 kPa) 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 5-17. 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 3-49. {CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. Security Light Lights On Reminder For information regarding this light and the vehicle’s security system, see Theft-Deterrent System on page 2-18. This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on. Fog Lamp Light The fog lamp light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. See Headlamps on Reminder on page 3-16 for more information. Highbeam On Light This light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 3-17 for more information. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-9 for more information. 3-47 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. (cid:129) At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads the full symbol. It takes more (or less) fuel to ﬁll up than the gage reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity to ﬁt it. 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 3-50 for more information. Fuel Gage Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left when the engine is on. When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol, a chime will sound and LOW FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. At this time, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Press the RESET button to acknowledge a DIC message(s). Pressing the RESET button will also turn off a DIC message but the LOW FUEL message will come on again in 10 minutes if you have not added fuel to the vehicle. 3-48 (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status of many of your vehicle’s systems. It is also used to display driver personalization features and warning/status messages. The DIC display is located on the instrument panel cluster below the speedometer and tachometer, directly above the steering column. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, to the right of the instrument panel cluster. The DIC comes on when the ignition is turned on. After displaying CORVETTE BY CHEVROLET, the DIC will display the current driver and the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear on the DIC display. Be sure to take any message that appears on the display seriously and remember that clearing the message will only make the message disappear, not correct the problem. If your vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD) and you use the Manual Paddle Shift feature, the gear will display in the HUD, except if your vehicle has the Navigation system and the HUD is displaying turn-by-turn guidance information. If the HUD is displaying turn-by-turn guidance information, the gear instead displays in the DIC. See “Manual Paddle Shift” under Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-26 and “Head-Up Display (HUD)” in the index of the Navigation system manual for more information. 3-49 DIC Operation and Displays 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. 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.
