Default Help with display settings

I pressed a few too many buttons and now cannot return to my favorite screen, which has the tach and MPH and oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, voltage and tire pressure listed to the right. I think it's tour mode, but I'll be damned if I can find my way back. Anyone care to give me step by step instructions?

Yes you want tour mode. From the steering wheel hit the left arrow, scroll to the bottom where it says options, hit the select button on the wheel and scroll to tour mode display and hit select again, done.

Kind of wish my early C7 model had a display like that.

That display has always been available since 2014. Try Tour / Performance. Or is it Tour / info?

It is Tour mode - performance for the screen shown above. In Tour mode, top left is Tour - info second down arrow on left is tour - performance. From Tour - info, hit left arrow button on right right side of steering wheel controls. Then using the down arrow on the steering wheel controls, scroll down 1 setting (on the left of the display screen) to "performance" - looks like a tachometer with needle and press enter in center of the right side steering wheel buttons. I toggle between Tour - info, and Tour - performance mostly. For example, you can see the individual tire pressures in tour - info, by scrolling down through its many "info" displays, whereas in tour-performance, you only see tires - cold/warm when you scroll down through its many displays.

I have followed your instructions closely but all I get it this:

I cannot seem to get back to where I was.

Use the left arrow and go to settings (bottom option).
Then scroll down to Display and choose the right arrow.
You should then have a selection for Auto, Sport, Tour and Track. Or something like that.
Pick the Tour mode. Now go back to the menu on the left (Left arrow twice I believe).
Now arrow up to PERF and select it.

I managed to do just what you said without doing what you said somehow I stumbled on it but I will print these instructions and put them in the glove box for next time. Thank you

You will like it, it's the best screen option I think the car has. You can instantaneously see what you need to know without looking for a needle and all that crap

You already have that, and have had them the whole time, it's called the owners manual.

That occurred to me. However an afternoon wading through an owners manual doesn't sound appealing.

Thanks for the help.

Download the owner's manual from this forum. That is in PDF format. Then you can search the manual quickly and efficiently. PC, or phone.

I’m trying to get that exact same display on my 2014 Stingray, with the engine parameters on the ride and the speedo numerals in the center. But all I seem to be able to get is this (the car depiction in the center is useless!):

Hit the left arrow, go to performance and hit the enter button. Scroll up or down to get to the MPH page.

I’ve been doing that, but I’m not finding speedometer. As I scroll I get a G meter, I get another G meter that is directional, I get a 0 to 60 timer, I get a second timer, oil temp, oil pressure, battery voltage, tire temp, and I’m back to the depiction of the car. I tried to take a video, but the file was too large.

Hmmm.... I'm doing this all off the top of my head. Try going to INFO instead of performance and scroll.
