Instrument Cluster (Ic)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Instrument Cluster (IC) comprises of two analogue gauges for the speedometer and the tachometer and a 5 inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Information and message center for driver information.

The analogue gauges are electronically driven using vehicle speed information from the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module for the speedometer and engine speed signals from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for the tachometer. The information is passed to the IC from the modules on the High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) powertrain and comfort systems buses.

The speedometer is located on the left side of the IC and is available in three market variants:

Major scale mph UK (United Kingdom) Diesel and Petrol.
Major scale mph US (United States) Diesel and Petrol.
Major scale km/h ROW (Rest of World) Diesel and Petrol.

The secondary speedometer is a digital display in the message center. In most markets, the displayed units shown can be changed via the "Digital speedometer" option in the Instrument display of the Main Menu.

The Tachometer is located on the right side of the IC.

The message center displays vehicle related information to the driver, for example engine temperature, fuel level and gear position.

Driver information is also displayed, for example navigation turn-by-turn information, voice control, trip computer information and basic audio details.

For additional information, refer to: Information and Message Center .

The gauges are illuminated in a pure white color, but change to a red color when dynamic mode is selected.

The IC features a number of warning indicators.

The warning indicators illuminate in one of four colors which indicate at the level of importance of the warning as follows:

Red = Warning
Amber = Caution
Green = System operative
Blue = Headlamp high beam operative.

A Main Menu is available to allow the driver to select certain features and functions of the vehicle for example Driving features, Trip computer and Instrument display and change them to their personal preference.

A Main Menu control 'joy pad' is located on the steering wheel and allows selection of the displayed functions and navigation of the menus. When selected, the Main Menu is displayed in the message center.
