Default Help configuring specific instrument display

I know I've seen how this instrument cluster display was selected, but I can't find it anywhere now. Does anyone know how to select this specific display?

Great question....I'd like it as well. Couldn't figure out how to get it from the Owners Manual.

The display with the gauge readouts to the right of the speedo is the Tour Display.

Use the steering wheel controls to get to the display. First push the left button to get to the vertical listing on the left, then use the down button to drop down to the settings menu. Then hit the right button and look for display and drop down to it and hit the right button which will take you into the display settings screen. Select Touring and you will have the touring mode available all of the time. Once that is done hit the left button twice and then use the top button to select performance and hit the right button.

Great explanation, Bill, you probably did that from rote memory...HA! Anyway, the OP posted a picture showing the standard Touring display, but it had engine spec's (e.g. engine oil temp, oil pressure, etc.) that I've never been able to connect with the Touring display, shown. Do your directions provide the exact screen that the OP showed? I'm about 1200 miles from my car at the moment, so I can't try this out, but I want to save these directions if it mimics that screen. Thanks!

To be clear, to reach this screen requires 3 things:

1) Dash is in Tour Mode
2) Dash is in "Performance" sub mode (the list on the left)
3) Current parameter to be displayed in the middle is MPH

I think point 3 throws a lot of people. If you have any other parameter other than speed in the middle of the display, you won't get it.

Hope that helps someone!

Dave

In for the sub. When in track mode, I'd much prefer the Sport "tach"

When you change the settings using the steering wheel, it will remain there no matter where you set the turn dial. It will no longer be "link to drive mode"

Interesting in my 17" the speedo goes to 220 and there is a boost gauge where your temp gauge is.

Those screenshots aren't from the Z06 instrument panel, that is the regular Stingray. I would have preferred a Z06 IP with the boost as a pocket gauge and keeping engine temp as a dedicated gauge.

My touring display is unable to show the car image in the center of the tach while displaying the digital gauges to the right. As previously mentioned, the center of my tach shows MPH when the digital gauges are on the right side.

With the Z06 the Touring Display is the only one that you can get all of the gauges on. Everything else is missing Coolant Temp. Since they are digital Vs analog they are also easier to read.

Use the Tach in the HUD it is easier to see and has very visible flashing shift warning/shift lights. I like the bar graph setting best as it spreads the tach over a larger length making it easier to see at a quick glance. Anything down on the IP takes to long to look, eyes to focus, look up and eyes to focus again. At over 100 mph with other cars on the track running slower/faster you need to pay attention to what they are doing/signaling versus having your eyes looking in the wrong place.

I never concerned myself with the car display or any of the other ones when wanting the gauges. I do curse every now and then when I accidentally hit the steering wheel control with my hand as I am driving and turn off the digital gauges. My big concerns are in order of precedence Tach, Speedo, which are observed on the HUD, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Coolant Temp, Fuel, Voltage.
