Cluster vs. group

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank everybody contrubuting to these forums. I have benefited from these forums a lot, but this will be my first post.

Oxford Advanced Dictionary says cluster means "a group of things of the same type that grow or appear close together". So, what is the real difference between cluster and group. For example, Instrument Panel Cluster is another name for the dashboard panel in vehicles. Why can't we say group instead of clusters?

Thanks.

Thank you both! I now better understand the "little" difference between these two words.
