Instrument Panel Cluster

The instrument cluster is used to communicate information on the operation and performance of the vehicle to the driver. The cluster is comprised of analog gages, including a tachometer, which are accurate, precise, easy to read, and well lit. The cluster also contains an assortment of telltale indicator lamps which signal the operation or malfunction of certain key systems.

Saturn vehicles use four different clusters depending on the model of the vehicle and the country where the vehicle was sold.

2 Domestic Clusters
SOHC
DOHC

2 Export Clusters
SOHC
DOHC

The differences between the SOHC and DOHC clusters are in the speedometer and tachometer upper limits. The differences between the domestic and export clusters are with telltales and km/h versus mph as the main speed indicators.

All clusters use the same vehicle mounting. The ABS telltale is included on all clusters;. however it will only be activated on vehicles equipped with the antilock brake system (ABS) option. The upshift telltale is included on all domestic clusters but will only be activated on vehicles with manual transaxles. The traction active telltale is also included on all clusters but is only activated on vehicles equipped with ABS and traction control.
