Instrument Cluster

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

The instrument cluster contains a message center, gauges, indicator lamps, engine idle hour meter (Limousine only) and warning lamps that are designed to provide the driver with a system status and to alert the driver that certain conditions exist in the vehicle. The message center features include the odometer, trip odometer, and information display. The information display occupies either the top 2 or top 3 lines of the message center depending on the font size chosen. These displays are independent of other messages with the exception of the redundant odometer which is shown on the bottom portion of the message center. Gauges provide information to the driver indicating the status of systems. Examples of systems that use gauges include vehicle speed, fuel level, engine coolant temperature, and engine rpm. Indicator lamps provide information to the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Examples of the indicator lamps include the turn signal, speed control, and high beams on. Warning indicator lamps provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially alter vehicle performance. Examples of the warning indicators include the ABS, BRAKE, safety belt, and low oil pressure. The instrument cluster lens and mask assembly is the only part that may be installed separately.
