Instrument Cluster

Instrument Cluster


Annular indicators used for the first time by BMW for the two main instruments represent an innovation in display technology. This system has enabled the displays for the cruise control system set speed and the variable engine speed warning zone to be visually illustrated.
The pendulum dial layout for the analogue fuel gauge and fuel consumption indicator augments the compact appearance and design of the instrument cluster.
The indicator lamp for the fuel reserve has been replaced by a Check Control message in text and graphics. Likewise, the Check Control texts are no longer displayed in the instrument cluster but in the status bar of the Central Information Display (CID).
Two large instrument dials show vehicle speed and engine speed. Two smaller pointer instruments display fuel level and current fuel consumption. The scales on the instrument cluster are specific to each country, vehicle and engine. Most of the indicator lamps are located in the centre at the top between the two large instrument dials. Also in the centre between the two large instrument dials are the two LC Displays.
