The Instrument Cluster (IC) is available with either an integrated display (base cluster) or with a message center display (message center cluster). The integrated display and the message center display are 2-line, Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) type displays. Both the base cluster and the message center cluster contain gauges, informational indicators, and warning indicators that are designed to provide the driver with a system status and to alert the driver that certain conditions exist in the vehicle.

The IC uses both hardwired inputs and messaged inputs to control the gauge and indicator outputs. Other systems that use IC inputs are the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) and stability/traction control. For additional information on PATS, refer to ANTI-THEFT - PATS - HYBRID . For additional information on the stability/traction control system, refer to VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS .
