Indicators, Instrument Cluster: Description: Base

The instrument cluster assembly has provisions for International Control and Display Symbol icon indicators, as well as three analog gauges standard on all models. Refer to GAUGE PACK, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, DESCRIPTION . Some of the indicators are automatically configured when connected to the vehicle electrical system for compatibility with certain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets.

Each indicator in the instrument cluster, except those located within an electronic display unit, is illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the electronic circuit board. Cluster illumination is accomplished by several dimmable LED units, which illuminate each of the gauge dial faces for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. These LED units are serviced only as a complete unit with the instrument cluster and, if damaged or ineffective, the entire instrument cluster assembly must be replaced. The cluster lens and the cluster hood and mask unit are the only components of the instrument cluster assembly that can be serviced separately.
