Default 4 cylinder mode indicator

Where do I find the 4 cyl mode activated icon.
Just drove 4 hours to Vegas and could not feel the transition from 8 to 4 or 4 to 8. Which is a good thing but still would like to know.

Yes that 1/8 will become a 1/4... Well it looks like 1/8th and 1/4th but I know, it's actually V8 and V4.

How many people notice it says V0 when you shut it off. I got quite a chuckle the first time I saw it.

and if you have a 7speed manual, you'll only have V4 or 1/4 available in ECO mode.... or is the V4 a quarter of the time

The problem with any of these modes is that you may always want to set the high score and end up driving the car too carefully just to get the best fuel economy reading....

Wish I had your problem, mine shutters badly between V8 & V4 and while it is in V4. You are lucky.

What year do you have and what transmission? I have no perception when mine changes.

I have a 2016 z51 and the shift front v4 to v8 v8 to v4 I can't tell at all unless I look at the indicator!
Yea I watched it a lot trying to get 35 mpg an couldn't. Then I found out z51 has steeper gears and won't.
I do get 28 and 29 mpg so now I drive it in track mode !
Love the pipes and steering and Damm the MPG !

Have less than 500 miles on '16, Z51. Got 35mpg from C-Springs to N Denver. I was keeping foot out of it and mostly in Econ mode. The shift from v4 to v8 was seamless and on I -25 you better be running 80! Bottom line...love the mpg, although that is not why we bought it. 😀😀
