Claim 13:
14. A system for providing flexible vehicle status notifications via an instrument cluster displayed on an in-vehicle screen; the system comprising:
at least one processor;
a memory storage device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive information associated with a gauge measurement that is outside a normal operating range;
determine a gauge state based on the received information;
determine whether the gauge is currently displayed on-screen or hidden from display;
when the gauge is currently displayed on-screen, update the instrument cluster to change the gauge from a current display state to a display state associated with the gauge state, wherein the display state includes presentation attributes of a salience level corresponding to the gauge state;
when the gauge is currently hidden from display, update the instrument cluster to show the gauge in the display state associated with the gauge state;

determine, based on the received information, to provide a popup notification in association with the gauge measurement that is outside the normal operating range;
determine a salience level of the popup notification based on safety relevance, operational relevance, and time relevance using a first set of evaluation criteria;
store, in an input queue, the popup notification in an ordered input queue list of active notifications, wherein
the active notifications in the ordered input queue list are ordered based at least in part on the salience level; and
move the ordered input queue list to a main stack of the active notifications that are accessible for display as popup notifications in a notification zone in the instrument cluster.
