2021 Chevrolet Camaro Instrument Cluster | Dashboard Setting Guide

The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro has an advanced Instrument Cluster and Dashboard Setting Guide that shows how current automotive technology and user-centred design can work together. The Instrument Cluster, which is in the driver’s line of sight, is a hub of important data that gives real-time reports on the car’s performance, navigation, entertainment, and safety features. With an easy-to-use interface and settings that can be changed, drivers can make the experience fit their needs and tastes. The Instrument Cluster gives drivers full control and knowledge, whether they’re changing display layouts, using driver assistance features, or keeping an eye on engine metrics. This Dashboard Setting Guide works perfectly with the Camaro’s high-tech features and makes it easy for drivers to find their way around and make the most of their driving surroundings, which improves both comfort and safety on the road.

Fuel Gauge

Metric Base Level Cluster
English Base Level Cluster
Uplevel Cluster

When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge indicates how much fuel is left in the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator is empty, the low fuel light comes on. There is still a little fuel left, but the fuel tank should be filled soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gauge:

• At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gauge reads full.
• It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gauge indicated. For example, the gauge indicated the tank was half full, but it took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.
• The gauge moves a little while turning a corner or speeding up.
• The gauge takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on, and goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off.

Boost Gauge (Uplevel Cluster Only)

See the Camaro High-Performance supplement for more information.

Metric
English

If equipped, this gauge indicates vacuum during light to moderate throttle and boost under heavier throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in the intake manifold before it enters the engine’s combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centred at zero every time the engine is started. An actual vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing weather, will slightly change the zero reading.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge (Uplevel Cluster Only)

Metric, Standard Theme Shown
English, Standard Theme Shown

The engine oil pressure gauge shows the engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running.
Oil pressure can vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity.
On some models, the oil pump will vary engine oil pressure according to engine needs. Oil pressure may change quickly as the engine speed or load varies. This is normal.
If the oil pressure warning light or Driver Information Center (DIC) message indicates oil pressure outside the normal operating range, check the vehicle’s oil as soon as possible.

Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. Driving with the engine oil low can also damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil level as soon as possible. Add oil if required, but if the oil level is within the operating range and the oil pressure is still low, have the vehicle serviced. Always follow the maintenance schedule for changing engine oil.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

Metric Base Level Cluster
English Base Level Cluster
Metric Uplevel Cluster
English Uplevel Cluster

This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves to the high end, the engine is too hot.
This reading indicates the same thing as the warning light. It means that the engine coolant has overheated. If the vehicle has been operating under normal driving conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating 0 255 for more information.

Voltmeter Gauge (Uplevel Cluster Only)

Standard Theme
When the ignition is on, this gauge indicates the battery voltage.
When the engine is running, this gauge shows the condition of the charging system. The gauge can transition from a higher to lower or a lower to higher reading. This is normal. If the vehicle is operating outside the normal operating range, the charging system light comes on. See Charging System Light.
Readings outside the normal operating range can also occur when a large number of electrical accessories are operating in the vehicle and the engine is left idling for an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging system is not able to provide full power at the engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow the charging system to create maximum power.
The vehicle can only be driven for a short time with the readings outside the normal operating range. If the vehicle must be driven, turn off all accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner, and unplug all chargers and accessories.
Readings outside the normal operating range indicate a possible problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
