Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The IPC uses the following methods and functionality to alert the driver of vehicle conditions:
- gauges.
- informational and warning indicators.
- informational and warning RTT indicators.
- informational, instructional and warning messages.
- warning chimes
Informational indicators inform 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.
The RTT indicators illuminate in message center popup displays and dedicated and rotating RTT display locations, using the same iconic representation as typical LED indicators. Rotating RTT indicators display in the order the request was received by the IPC.
NOTE:
The diesel IPC is shown. The gas and North America IPC is similar.
