Description And Operation: Description
The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) features a number of soft indicators, which are located within the electronic display unit in the center of the cluster. The soft indicators are discussed in further detail within the message center service information. Refer to CENTER, ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION . Some of the indicators are automatically configured when the IPC is connected to the electrical system of the vehicle for compatibility with certain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets. While each IPC may have provisions for indicators to support every available option, the configurable indicators will not function in vehicles that do not have the equipment that an indicator supports.
Below are brief explanations of the indicators available on this vehicle. More detailed information may be available elsewhere in this service information, located within the information covering the system or component that controls or influences the illumination of that indicator.
The IPC includes provisions for the following indicators:
- High Beam Indicator (1)
- Park/Headlight ON Indicator (2) - if equipped

The simultaneous activation of BRAKE light (Red) and the ABS light (Amber) with the engine running indicates a fault of the Electronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD) system or that the system is not available.
These indicators and LED units are serviced only as a unit with the IPC. If damaged or ineffective, the entire IPC assembly must be replaced.
