Can anyone tell me what all the icons are in the hud. I have a 2008 and didn't find an explanation in the manual , or with a search of the forum. Thanks in advance.

 

There is an explanation in the manual with pictures of the three display modes.

 

Begins on page 3-20 of the 2008 Owners Manual:

The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward
the front of the vehicle. The HUD consists of the
following information:
• Speedometer
• Turn Signal Indicators
• High-Beam Indicator Symbol
• Tachometer
• Manual Paddle Shift Gear Indicator (If Equipped)
These displays on the HUD are for use when
using the manual paddle shift controls to shift
the transmission. See “Manual Paddle Shift” in
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-26.
• Shift Light
This light is used for performance driving to indicate
that the vehicle’s best performance level has been
reached to shift the transmission into the next higher
gear. An arrow pointing up will light up on the display
just prior to reaching the engine fuel cut-off mode.
This cut-off is about 6,500 RPM for the LS3 engine
and 7,000 RPM for the LS7 engine.
• Check Gages Warning
• Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

• Transmission Fluid Temperature Gage,
(Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only)
• Engine Oil Temperature Gage
• Engine Oil Pressure Gage
• G-Force Gage
• Audio Functions, Street Mode Only
• Navigation, Only with Navigation Radio,
Turn-by-Turn Guidance

There are three HUD modes that you can choose to view
in the HUD display. By pressing the MODE button, you
can scroll through these modes in the following order:
Street Mode supports
audio and navigation
functions with your choice
of tachometer settings.

Track Mode 1 supports the
G-Force gage and minor
gages with a circular
tachometer.

Track Mode 2 supports
G-Force gages and minor
gages with a linear
tachometer.
When the desired HUD display has been selected,
release the MODE button.

Within each mode, the display, can be further
customized by pressing the PAGE button. Pressing this
button in each mode will turn off and on the following:
• Street Mode — No tachometer, circular tachometer,
and linear tachometer.
• Track Modes 1 and 2 — No minor gage, coolant
temperature, transmission oil temperature, engine
oil temperature, and engine oil pressure.
While in Track Mode 1 or 2, the maximum G value
achieved during the current ignition cycle can be
displayed by pressing and holding the PAGE button.
The maximum G display will be shown until the
PAGE button is released. The maximum G value
display will be identical to the normal G value
display, except the maximum G gage digits (X.XX G)
and corresponding G gage bar will overwrite the
current G value.

Be sure to continue scanning the displays, controls and
driving environment just as you would in a vehicle without
HUD. If you never look at your instrument panel cluster,
you may miss something important, such as a warning
light. Under important warning conditions, the CHECK
GAGES warning will illuminate in the HUD. View your
Driver Information Center (DIC) for more information.

 

The instructions were in the owners manual on both my 03 and my present 06. My guess it is probably in yours as well.

 

When you change radio stations, that will show up in the HUD also. I find that to be a little annoying though. I can see the station on the darn radio!

 

I am aware of this and thank you for posting this, but unless i am missing something this tells you what it will display but not which display is which. the speedo and tach and g force readouts are self explanatory what are the others.?

 

The other what? Don't know what you are talking about.

 

• Track Modes 1 and 2 — No minor gage, coolant
temperature, transmission oil temperature, engine
oil temperature, and engine oil pressure.
where are these temperatures and pressure located?

Is this self explanatory or what?

 

Ok, to get this straight, I just ran out to my car in the detached garage, in the pouring rain mind you! I had done this before, but forgot how it works.

Press the Mode button to go to either Track 1 or Track 2. Then if you press the Page button you can cycle through 3 different gages, maybe 4 with an automatic. The HUD will only display 1 gage at a time, so you have to pick the one that is most important to you. The gage will be a linear type located on the right side with an icon at the top to display which gage this is.

I think that now answers your question.

 

yes it does and thanks.

 

I think its time for your blood pressure meds.

 

Good job again Swiftrider08

 

Thanks! Was sticking with this one until OP was satisified. Though I did have to get wet for it!

 

good man

 

Thanks for the info. The best way to learn is to go out and do it yourself.

 

The oil can with something dripping from the spout is oil pressure. The boat with a mast is oil temperature. If you have an automatic tranny, the little round or square (I have forgotten which) button-looking icon is the tranny temperature.
