The general warning indicators (amber and red) are illuminated to alert the driver to a message in the message center. They are illuminated when a warning is required to be displayed, even if it is not currently being displayed due to being cycled with other messages. All warning messages are associated with a warning indicator color according to their status. Some messages are associated with a no-color warning which means the message is displayed without one of the general warning lamps being illuminated.

When the ignition is off the IC TFT screen is blank. When the vehicle is unlocked, the IC, along with the TS, begin a start-up routine which is not visible to the driver. The start-up routine includes acquiring data from vehicle systems. The display is configured once the start burton is pressed to either switch on the ignition or start the engine.

The IC displays the Jaguar 'leaper' badge before the main instrument graphics begin to be displayed and the IC performs a series of 'pre-drive' checks. The IC displays the standard 3 dial display of speedometer, tachometer and fuel/temperature gage. The dials, although entirely 'virtual' give a 3-dimensional impression of being physical dials with shadows and highlights added by the TFT screen.

The needles on the dials are also virtual and sweep around the speedometer and tachometer dials in the same manner as a 'conventional' mechanical needle. As the needle approaches a number on the dial, that number and the number preceding and following it become more prominent by brightening the display in that area of the TFT. This feature can be selected on or off using the display settings menu.

The IC can determine what information to display, when to display it and where on the display it will be shown. This is governed by preset display properties. The system versatility allows the IC to display information or hide it from view when its is not required.
