Zusammenfassung:A configurable vehicle cluster is described which extends down below a top of the steering column to provide a display of information. The display can display information to the driver through or around the steering wheel and the recess in the vehicle cluster through which the steering wheel column extends. An instrument cluster is positioned adjacent the steering assembly and includes a display having an edge that is non-linear and may at least partly wrap around the steering column to increase the viewing area of the cluster. The display may extend around the steering column behind the steering wheel. The vehicle cluster can be mounted lower in a vehicle while providing adequate viewing area and conserving space in the vehicle cabin. 描述了种可配置的车辆仪表组,其向下延伸到转向柱顶部之下,以提供信息的显示。显示器可以通过方向盘或在方向盘和车辆仪表组的凹入周围将信息显示给驾驶员,转向柱延伸通过凹入。仪表组被定位为邻近转向总成并包括具有边缘的显示器,边缘是非直线的并可以至少部分地环绕转向柱,以增加仪表组的可视区域。显示器可在方向盘后面围绕转向柱延伸。可将车辆仪表组更低地安装在车辆内,以提供充足的可视区域并节约车厢中的空间。
