The instrument cluster (IC) is available either with a message center or without a message center (base cluster). The instrument cluster (IC) contains gauges, indicator lamps, and warning lamps that are designed to provide the driver with system status, and to alert the driver that certain conditions exist in the vehicle. Gauges provide information to the driver indicating the status of systems. Examples of the gauges include vehicle speed, fuel level, engine coolant temperature, and engine RPM. Indicator lamps provide information to the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. The indicator lamps include the turn signal, high beam, and speed control. Warning indicator lamps provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially alter vehicle performance. Examples of the warning indicators include the ABS, BRAKE, and low oil pressure. The instrument cluster (IC) lens is the only part that may be installed separately.
