300km/h NEW
by: Anonymous

This is a stock export instrument cluster for the countries who utilize the metric system. Additionally, it shows the coolant temp in °C, oil pressure in kpa, and defaults to km when you view the odometer using the parking lights.

Instrument panel button #5
by: Brian

I'm not sure if you've figured this out yet, but button #5 on the right side of your instrument cluster is labeled E/M, and it toggles the speedometer & odometer from English to Metric. I found this out while test driving my new 2003 Corvette before purchasing. I couldn't believe how fast I was going, and then realized someone had it switch to metric. Just press the button and your speedo will then top out at 200.

Maybe

It would be stock for Canadian export cars. It may have been changed by a previous owner. Best way to tell is to find the RPO codes on the car and look for "Z49" option. This would state that it was originally built with Canadian Options. Thanks for visiting and we hope this helps!
