Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention generally relates to a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to provision of an instrument cluster assembly in the vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] As is generally known, a two-wheeled vehicle is provided with an instrument cluster in a front portion of the two-wheeled vehicle. The instrument cluster helps in displaying relevant information about the two-wheeled vehicle to a rider of the vehicle. When the instrument cluster is used in the vehicle, the instrument cluster displays information such as total distance travelled, vehicle speed, engine speed, fuel level, battery charge level, fuel efficiency, operational status of lamps on the vehicle, tyre pressure, and the like.
[003] In the two-wheeled vehicles, the instrument cluster is subjected to direct sunlight, and the same heats up the instrument cluster unnecessarily leading to glare formation and poor visibility. The heating up of the instrument cluster further damages the electronic components of the instrument cluster. In conventional designs of the instrument cluster, a sunroof is provided to protect the instrument cluster. However, providing the sunroof in the two-wheeled vehicles is not feasible since the mounting of the sunroof in the two-wheeled vehicles require additional attachments and fasteners. Further, the mounting of the sunroof makes the vehicle bulky and hence, increases the overall part count of the vehicle as well.
[004] In addition to the above, the conventional instrument clusters are either disposed completely inside a handlebar assembly of the two-wheeled vehicle or attached swingably on a pivot member of the vehicle. When the instrument cluster is disposed completely inside the handlebar assembly, the instrument cluster gets completely covered, thereby leading to an inefficient heat dissipation from the electronic components of the instrument cluster. This ultimately damages the instrument cluster. Also, since the instrument cluster is completely covered inside the handlebar assembly, the same leads to a poor visibility of the instrument cluster during the daytime. Further, the mounting of the instrument cluster on the pivot member of the vehicle becomes easily accessible, thereby leading to situations such as theft of the instrument cluster since the same is easily detachable from the two-wheeled vehicle. Therefore, the conventional ways of mounting the instrument cluster on the vehicle are undesirable.
[005] Thus, there is a need in the art for an instrument cluster assembly in a vehicle, which addresses at least the aforementioned problems.
