Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview: Overview: Notes
The IPC uses the following methods and functionality to alert the driver of vehicle conditions:
- gauges
- informational indicators
- warning indicators
- warning messages
- warning chimes
The base IPC uses a single centered 4-inch screen to display driver information with analog gauges.
The mid-level IPC uses a single centered 6-inch screen to display driver information with analog gauges.
The high-level IPC uses a full width 12-inch screen to display driver information with virtual gauges.
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.
IPCRTT indicators replace the typical informational or warning indicator, using the same graphical representation. The message center displays RTT indicators in both fixed locations and in a rotating display where they are turned on in the order the request was received by the IPC.
