Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer shows the speed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). For more information see "Personal Options" under DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 4-69. To read the odometer with the ignition off, turn on the parking lamps. If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the mileage total of the new odometer will be set to the original kilometers (miles) of the old odometer. See your dealer/retailer if the odometer must be replaced in the vehicle. Safety Belt Reminders Safety Belt Reminder Light When the engine is started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind a driver to fasten the safety belt, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled. The safety belt light comes on and stays on for several seconds, then flashes for several more. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Notice: Fuel shuts off at about 6500 rpm for the base model, 7000 rpm for the Z06 model, and 6600 rpm for the ZR1 model. If the vehicle continues to be driven at the fuel shut off rpm, the engine could be damaged. Be sure to operate the vehicle below the fuel shut off rpm or reduce the vehicle's rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off. This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on. 4-31
