2004 Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual - Page 161

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 gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads F (full). You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC) to display more detailed fuel information. Each time you press FUEL, one of the following will appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC). • AVERAGE: The fuel economy calculated for the current tank of fuel, or since you last reset the display. • 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. • INST (Instant): The fuel economy calculated for your current driving conditions. • The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. • RANGE: The distance you can drive before refueling. You should reset the fuel information display every time you refuel. To reset the display, press FUEL until AVERAGE appears. Then, press RESET on the Driver Information Center (DIC). • The gage may not indicate E (empty) when the ignition is turned off. • The gage reading may change slightly within the first several minutes after starting the vehicle. 3-47
