Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview: Overview
The IPC uses the following methods and functionality to alert the driver of vehicle conditions:
- gauges
- informational and warning indicators
- informational RTT and warning RTT indicators
- informational and instructional messages
- 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 pop-up 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.
Analog IPC
The analog IPC utilizes the following analog gauges:
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Fuel
- Engine temperature
The analog IPC also provides a single display screen that contains the message center, RTT indication and virtual gauge displays.
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.
RTT indicators illuminate in the message center and replace the typical informational or warning indicator, using the same iconic representation. The message center uses a rotating RTT display area that can display multiple indicators, if needed, while using fixed locations for other indicators and displays.
Depending on option level, the IPC provides the following virtual gauge displays:
- Air fuel ratio
- Axle temperature
- Battery voltage
- Cylinder head temperature
- Engine oil temperature
- Inlet air temperature
- Transmission fluid temperature
- Vacuum gauge
- Vacuum/boost gauge

Digital IPC
The digital IPC utilizes a 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 and gauges appear similar to standard analog gauges and LED indicators found in other analog Instrument Panel Clusters (IPCs).
In some instances a display replaces the current display. In other instances, newly selected displays (such as the message center and settings menus, TPMS or trip computer displays) overlay a currently displayed item, replacing the current display. 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 Literature.
The digital IPC provides the following display modes:
- Normal
- MyMode
- Sport
- Track
- Drag
Depending on option level, the IPC provides the following virtual gauge displays:
- Air fuel ratio
- Axle temperature
- Battery voltage (LHD 5.0L and 2.3L performance only)
- Cylinder head temperature
- Engine oil pressure (LHD 5.0L and 2.3L performance only)
- Inlet air temperature
- Transmission fluid temperature
- Vacuum gauge
- Vacuum/boost gauge

In addition to the IPC gauges, the ICM (mounted in the instrument panel) provides additional gauges. The gauges in the ICM vary based on option content as follows:
- Engine oil pressure
- Engine oil temperature (GT500 only)
- Vacuum-boost or vacuum (except GT500)
