Instrument Cluster

Instrument Cluster - Conventional Display 

The Instrument Cluster (IC) conventional display comprises of 2 analogue gauges for the speedometer and tachometer and a 5 inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) 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 buses.

The speedometer is located on the left side of the Instrument Cluster (IC) and is available in the following market variants:

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

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

The tachometer is available in two variants, 6000 RPM for diesel engines, 8000 RPM for petrol engines.

The Information and 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
• Basic audio details.

The IC features a number of warning indicators. The warning indicators illuminate in 1 of 4 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 e.g. 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 Information and Message Center.

Instrument Cluster - Virtual Display 

There is a digital Instrument Cluster (IC) equipped to some vehicles, the same information is displayed. The layout is different, however the information is the same.
