The Instrument Cluster for this vehicle has provisions for up to 22 indicators and houses four analog gauges, for more information on gauges, that are all controlled by the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Refer to GAUGE PACK, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, DESCRIPTION . Some of the indicators are automatically configured when the CCN is connected to the vehicle electrical system for compatibility with certain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets. While each cluster may have provisions for indicators to support every available option, the configurable indicators will not be functional in a vehicle that does not have the equipment that an indicator supports.

The instrument cluster includes provisions for the following indicators:

Each indicator in the instrument cluster, except those located within a Vacuum-Florescent Display (VFD) unit, is illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the CCN electronic circuit board. Cluster illumination is accomplished by several dimmable LED units, which illuminate each of the gauge dial faces for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. These LED units are not available for service replacement and, if damaged or ineffective, the entire CCN must be replaced.
