Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview

Overview 

The IPC uses the following methods and functionality to alert the driver of vehicle conditions:

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 IPC below is shown in V-Max mode. Other drive modes or settings can change the content displayed and the location of the displayed content. Most indicators and RTT indicators remain in the identified locations. For additional information about the settings, refer to the Owner's Literature.

The IPC utilizes a 10.1" color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display for all cluster information. This is a complete virtual IPC without any analog gauges or LED-type indicators. All indicators appear similar to standard LED indicators found in other analog Instrument Panel Clusters (IPCs).

Depending on the driver mode selection, information on demand display and other message center quick action menu selections, a newly selected display replaces the current display. In other instances, the newly selected display moves RTT indicators or status displays (such as cruise control or engine over-temperature) to a new location. Due to the nature of the virtual cluster, the cluster displays and the level of detail may change based on driver selections. For additional information related to the IPC displays, setup and message center menu selections, refer to the Owner's Literature.
