Informational Indicators/Warning Indicators 

Informational indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Warning indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially cause personal injury or alter vehicle performance.

RTT Indicators 

RTT indicators illuminate in the message center and replace the typical informational or warning indicator using the same iconic representation. The only RTT indicator available is the cruise control indicator. The cruise control indicator is set in a fixed location in the message center display.

Networked Message Inputs 

Module messaging has increased over time and has become the standard for sending and receiving information required to operate the IPC. The majority of the inputs required to operate the IPC are received over the CAN.

The hardwired inputs are provided by:
