instrument cluster
Behind the wheel
An instrument cluster is the panel of gauges and displays directly in front of a vehicle's driver, typically showing speed, fuel level, engine temperature, and warning lights.
The term emphasizes that these indicators are grouped together as a unit: The instrument cluster lit up when she turned the key.
Also called a dashboard or gauge cluster.
