Default Dash Info Display Setup


I was playing around with the display setup and somehow ended up here. I would like to get it back to a "normal" display, with the tach in the middle and the pocket gauges on the right and left sides. That's where I had it set up before I started messing around with it and now I'm stuck. I did a search in the C7 forum and could not find any info. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks

There are a ton of videos on Youtube that explain how to manipulate the gauge cluster and set it how you want it. Well worth watching a few of them.

What you want is Sport mode. You put it in Touring mode.

I have a 15 Z06 and that is the display I use all of the time on the street or the track. The Z06 boost gauge repaces the temp gauge in your picture so the Tour display is the only display that shows coolant temp. As for changing the display use the control switch on the right spoke of the steering wheel to change the displays. The first thing to do is to push the left side of the switch to move the screen selection point to the left column on the instrument panel. Once there then use the bottom part of the switch to move the selector all the way to the bottom and once at the settings position on the bottom move the selection to the right one column and move it up or down to find the display selection icon. Then move the selection to the right again and you will see the three display modes, choose the one you want and then move the selection back to the far left column and then up until you get to the performance selection. At that point move the selection back to the center and you will have whatever display you selected.

Not necessarily.
You can override the dial with the settings. You can have the car in sport mode and the display in touring mode for instance.
I think it's a check mark in the infotainment or the display itself settings that is either checked or unchecked to follow the dial if I remember correctly.

Sport mode should get you what you want. That’s the display I use on my car.

True but start with the wheel, it's the most likely...

Yup that's where it's all controlled for the display. The center console wheel only puts the car in each driving mode but the steering wheel controls how it is displayed

Thanks for all the responses. I set it to Sport mode, and that is the display that I like, but it is currently linked to drive mode. What I would like to do is turn off that link so I can retain the Sport mode display regardless of what mode I'm in. Thanks

Bring an old thread back, after I just started another one but I can't seem to get that boost gauge to come up, and replace the temp... I have the dials in sport and the driving mode in sport, am I missing something else?

So I did some digging and it lines up with what I saw today that caught my eye. I noticed that the temp gauge was fluctuating under accel and that was strange to me. So it makes sense now. The gauge display is not changing over to the boost for whatever reason...

Any suggestions?

Correct your profile - 1997 C7 Z06 2LZ 7MT does not compute.

The mechanical temp gauge is replaced by boost pressure for Z06 / Zr1 models only.

Corrected!

I do have a Z06, which is what’s weird.

Did a battery pull for 30m and it didn’t change anything, granted I only did the aux power and not a full start to check if it would change with the mode change.
