2005 Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual - Page 173

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. 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. • 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.
