The instrument cluster (IC) is available with either a integrated display (base cluster) or with a message center display (message center cluster). The integrated display and the message center display are 2-line displays. Both the base cluster and the message center cluster contain gauges, informational indicators, and warning indicators that are designed to provide the driver with a system status and to alert the driver that certain conditions exist in the vehicle.

The instrument cluster (IC) uses both hardwired and messaged inputs to control the gauge and indicator outputs. Other systems that use instrument cluster (IC) inputs are the passive anti-theft system (PATS) and traction control.
