Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview
Base Part Number: 10849
Overview
The IPC uses gauges, warning and informational indicators, RTT indicators, warning messages and chimes to alert the driver of vehicle conditions and system operation. The message center provides menu selections to configure various vehicle features. For a complete list and description of the features the message center controls, refer to the Owner's Literature.
The IPC provides a single display screen that contains the message center, RTT indication and virtual gauge displays.
Depending on option level, the IPC provides the following virtual gauge displays:
Accelerometer Air fuel ratio Battery voltage Vacuum boost gauge (non-SVT only) Cylinder head temperature Engine oil pressure (SVT only) Engine oil temperature Inlet air temperature Transmission fluid temperature
Informational indicators inform the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Warning indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially cause personal injury or alter vehicle performance.
RTT indicators illuminate in the message center and replace the typical informational or warning indicator, using the same iconic representation. The message center uses a rotating RTT display area that can display multiple indicators, if needed, while using fixed locations for other indicators and displays.
NOTE: Metric IPC similar.
