C8 Stingray Cluster Symbol

[fl4637]

Hi:

Can anyone explain the green car symbol? Does this show up when V4 is engaged in Touring mode?

Collision avoidance warning. This goes to yellow as you get closer and then full red warning square in the middle of the display.

I had it go off yesterday on a spirited drive yesterday.

They also have one for humans walking in front of the car.

P.S. Judging from the reflection in the dash, you where in hands free mode while you snapped the photo .
34km on her, enjoy the car as it only gets better.

HC nailed it.
Ahem, I too, have had an occasional "red flashing beeping warning".

Thank you guys. yes, only 34Km, keen eye. I have to install the front grill guard before really enjoying it.

I think ther's a number of different symbols you could get.... lol...

V4? What is this? Like, a rich guy 2LT option?

 

[fl4637]

Au contraire it's a poor man's option. I could not afford the V8, so I got a V4 C8 at a discount.

Lol.

The C8 goes into V4 mode in Touring mode and going at constant speed.

Mine doesn't do that. Maybe that was in '21 and up models...

I get in, start it up, and push the 'Z' button.
No muss, no fuss, no V4.

On another note, and I may be mistaken, but I believe that green symbol on your console is a warning indicator that it's time to get your name on a list for a C9.

Sometimes, when I'm cruising near the Golden Horseshoe, this one pops up.
No idea what it means. Anyone?

It could be any number of things:

• Speed bump ahead.
• Just say "No" to drugs.
• Please donate to the humane society today.
• Hunting in this area is 'frowned upon'.
• Turn ahead for your local PPF installer.

Without context, it's difficult to say.
Was there self-medicating involved?

I see this lots on the road with my truck. It's only a slight bump when you drive over it...

Supposedly in manual mode it will not go into V4 mode at all. But what do I know. I have a clutch pedal.

I just went out and tried mine, in various driving modes. 2024 SR 2LT HTC Z51.
Z Mode appears to disable the dash V8/V4 indicator, as per DW Ruby. The chart below also doesn't show it as "enabled".
I fired it up in the driveway, and switched from D to M, and the V8 indicator stayed visible on the dash. I didn't drive it, so it may just stay on as "V8" when in motion, no AFM. Will test that theory tomorrow, or next time I get a chance.
Page 201 on the 2024 PDF OM suggests that "Track" mode also disables AFM, per this chart.

UPDATE: Tried the Manual Mode shifting thing this afternoon (in the rain), got onto the local 402 freeway, accelerated to 50, 60, 70 MPH (sorry, I'm to old for metric) and then just put the CC on at each speed. The dash V4/V8 indicator stayed on V8 the entire time. Under no load, flat road, not inclined, calm wind, mostly dry highway. In D, I'd be seeing V4.
So, I would conclude, as others have stated, MM does disable AFM. Unless the sneaky bastards at GM programmed it to change to V4, but left the V8 icon active.

Are you sure? V4 was available for C7s.

I agreed with you. Now you have to decide what I agreed with.
1. in manual mode it won't go into v4
2. You know nothing.
3. You have a clutch pedal
4. All of the above

Sometimes I have other pressing issues going on that takes precedence over mocking Randoms' on the internet. I also have to prioritize the value of the the post being directed at me. Sorry that you were stuck at the bottom of the Totem Pole...
