The In
strument Cluster is the primary electronic control module for the speedomete
r, tachometer, coolant temperature, fuel
level, driver information (Message Centre) and warning lamps.
The Instrument Cluster also:
- provides input / output informatio n signals for use by other modules.
- acts as a protocol converter (software language translator - the languages used on each network are very similar, but
neither can be directly interp reted by the opposite system) for communication between all modules on both the CAN and
SCP multiplexed networks. The Instrument Cluster is the only module on the vehicle which communicates between the two
networks.
Instrument Cluster Gauges

*Not used on all markets. Refer to the Drivers Handbook.
Although the gauges look like conventional analogue gauges, each pointer is driven by a stepper motor to provide more
