Instrument Cluster

Overview







The instrument cluster is similar in appearance to the basic cluster used in the E39. The cluster continues to use analog gauges for display of engine and road speed, engine temperature, fuel level and economy display.

There are three LCD blocks for display of:
- The check control - pictogram
- The BC/Service interval and mileage
- The Transmission - range/program and failure display

Warning indicators and lamps are arranged to the right and left of the LCD blocks. The ASC, charge indicator; high beam and oil pressure lamps are located between the speedometer and tachometer.

New features of the E46 cluster include:
- Stepper motor drives for the analog gauges
- New design Service Interval Indicator
- Automatic transmission range/program display

The instrument cluster is a sealed unit and contains no serviceable components, other than the back lighting illumination bulbs.
