Checking control lamps and instruments (Renault 19)

Since most of the components in the car are already controlled by electronic devices, special attention must be paid to the few remaining indicators.

Sit in the driver's seat and check the following items one by one:

1. Does the watch work?

2. Turn on the ignition. The charge control and oil pressure control lights should light up; coolant temperature; preheating devices (on diesel); ABS (if installed); automatic transmission and parking brake (with the lever pulled).

3. After a slight delay, the fuel level arrow in the tank should take its place on the scale.

4. On machines equipped with oil level control, the indicator arrow must also be positioned correctly.

5. When the buttons are pressed, the following lights come on: emergency warning lights; rear window heating signal; fog light signal and rear fog lights, all lights and all switches work, such as low beam and high beam headlights.

6. When the combination lever is moved, the green turn signal lamp and, accordingly, the high beam indicator lamp come on.

7. Start the engine, does the speed indicator (tachometer) work and have the charge and oil pressure indicator lights gone out?

8. During a test drive, check the tachometer and coolant temperature sensor for proper operation.
