Instrument Cluster (IC)

Instrument Cluster (IC)

NOTE: The message center Instrument Cluster (IC) shown, base IC similar.










The IC is available with either a Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) display (base cluster) or with a message center cluster. Both the base cluster and the message center cluster contain gauges, indicator lamps, 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.

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 (ECT), 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 IC lens and mask assembly are the only parts that may be installed separately.
