Description And Operation: Overview

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

The analogue gauges are electronically driven using vehicle speed information from the ABS (anti-lock brake system) control module for the speedometer and engine speed signals from the ECM (engine control module) for the tachometer. The information is passed to the IC from the modules on the high speed CAN (controller area network) bus.

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

The secondary speedometer is a digital display in the TFT. In most markets, the displayed units shown can be toggled via the "units" option in the Trip computer menu.

The tachometer is located on the right side of the cluster and is available in two Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) displays: one for petrol models and one for diesel models.

The TFT screen displays vehicle related information to the driver, for example; engine temperature, fuel level, gear position, Terrain Response™ mode, cruise control and Hill Descent Control (HDC).

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

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 the level of importance of the warning as follows:

A vehicle information and settings menu is available to allow the driver to select certain features and functions of the vehicle, IC, trip computer and service information and change them to their personal preference. A menu control 'joy pad' is located on the right side of the steering wheel and allows selection of the displayed functions and navigation of the menus. When selected, the menu is displayed in the TFT screen.
