OVERVIEW  

The Graphical Instrument Cluster (GIC) is primarily a display device that communicates electronically with 
multiple pieces of equipment on the coach.  

To familiarize yourself with the indicators and gauges, refer to the quick reference guide on pages 6 and 8.   

The display will automatically dim for nighttime driving when the headlights are activated.   

Selectable displays within the speedometer and tachometer gauges provide a menu system which is navigated 
by rotating and pressing a joystick knob. Refer to page 28 for the menu selections:  

• 

Speedometer  

• 

Display brightness  

• 

Pre-drive item reminders  

• 

Selectable gauges  

• 

Trip 1 and Trip 2  

With the coach stopped and the park brake applied, the <Settings> menu also provides the following items:  

• 

Sound volume for alerts.  

• 

Measurement units for speed/distance, temperature and pressure.  

• 

Background image and brightness.  

• 

Gauge needle color.  

• 

Vertical position of screen display.  

• 

Diagnostics for system, onboard diagnostics (OBD) and controller area network (CAN-Bus).

  

  

Cleaning your graphical instrument cluster (GIC) screen: 

 

 

The glass on the GIC screen is treated with an optical coating to prevent glare and reflection. It should be 

cleaned with a product that is designed for this, such as the optical wipes included with the screen, or optical 

cleaner and a microfiber cloth.  

WARNING: The screen surface can be damaged if not 

treated with care.
