What does "volt" mean?
Hello all. I am looking into buying my first Corvette this week, a 1996 A4 coupe, however, on the digtital read out below the speedometer it says "volt". What exactly does this mean? The car is going to my mechanic today for a prepurchase inspection, but I would still like to know exaclty what that means.
Thanks!
Thanks!

the speedo on the 1990-1996 C4 will present voltage, coolant and oil temps when the "Gauges" button is pressed on the DIC. Press the big Fuel button and it will return to displaying the odometer.

This is exactly what it means:
The International System unit of electric potential and electromotive force, equal to the difference of electric potential between two points on a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt.
