Audio: place warning.mp3, ignitionon.mp3, beep.mp3, lock.mp3, unlock.mp3, signal.mp3, keyleft.mp3, and blendfail.mp3 in the same folder as this page. DIC customization choices are saved in this browser and recalled on the next visit.

Drivetrain model: 3.9L V6 • 233 hp @ 5600 RPM • 240 lb-ft @ 4400 RPM • 4T65-E ratios 2.92 / 1.56 / 1.00 / 0.70, reverse 2.38 • 3.29 final drive. RPM and acceleration are calculated from the drivetrain rather than fixed per-gear pull values.

Cluster artwork: use ALL INDICATORS under Vehicle Features to illuminate every telltale while positioning them. Use DIC MESSAGE TEST to cycle the full DIC message catalog. The DIC never scrolls; lines longer than 18 characters are clipped and logged to the browser console so they can be reflowed. Telltale positions are centralized in IMPALA_LAMP_LAYOUT.
