2013 Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual - Page 116

5-12 Instruments and Controls Speedometer The speedometer shows the speed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). For more information see "Personal Options" under Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑52. 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 and 427 Convertible models, 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. Fuel Gauge Odometer 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 if the odometer must be replaced in the vehicle. The fuel gauge shows how much fuel the vehicle has left while the engine is on. An arrow on the fuel gauge 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.
