1.8. Instrument cluster
The arrangement of instruments and indicator lights in the instrument cluster is shown in Figure 1.8.
The following instruments and indicators are installed in the instrument cluster.
1 – an electronic tachometer shows the engine crankshaft speed. The scale has divisions from 0 to 70, the division value is 2.5. To find out the crankshaft speed in мин⁻¹, you need to multiply the tachometer readings by 100.
2 – trip computer display
- a - fuel level indicator;
- b - total mileage counter;
- in - coolant temperature indicator in the engine cooling system;
- g - hours.
To set the time, turn on the ignition and select the display mode for the total mileage and time. Then set the exact time with button 8 (see figure 1.8). Long press on the button allows you to quickly change the hours and minutes. Short press on the button changes minute by minute.
3 – the speedometer shows the current speed of the car. The scale has divisions from 0 to 200 km/h, the division value is 5 km/h.
- 4 - fog light indicator lamp.
- 5 - signal lamp for open doors.
- 6 - reserve.
- 7 - indicator lamp for rear fog lights.
- 8 - Trip meter reset button. To reset, press and hold the button.
9 – parking brake and brake system status indicator light (with red filter) lights up when the ignition is turned on in the event of an excessive drop in the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir or when the parking brake lever is raised.
Attention! Driving the vehicle with the warning light on is prohibited.
10 – reserve.
11 – Engine overheating warning light (with red filter). If the lamp lights up, you need to stop, let the engine cool down and eliminate the cause of overheating.
12 – the engine start blocking system indicator light comes on after the ignition is turned on for about 3 seconds. When the light goes out, you can start the engine. If the light blinks or remains on after the ignition is turned on, the system is faulty and you should contact a service station.
13 – direction indicator indicator lamp (with a green filter in the form of arrows) lights up with a flashing light when the direction indicators or hazard warning lights are turned on. Flashing of the indicator lamp at a double frequency indicates that a lamp in one of the direction indicators has burned out.
14 – minimum fuel reserve indicator light in the tank (with orange filter) constantly burns when there is about 5 liters of fuel remaining in the tank.
Warning! If possible, avoid driving on reserve fuel. Operation of the electric fuel pump without continuous fuel supply with air entering the system will lead to pump failure!
15 – Oil pressure emergency drop indicator light (with red filter) lights up when the ignition is turned on and warns that the pressure in the engine lubrication system is below normal. The lamp should go out immediately after starting the engine.
Attention! Driving the car with the warning light on is prohibited, as it will damage the engine.
16 – Low battery indicator light (with red filter) lights up when the ignition is turned on. The lamp should go out immediately after the engine starts. If the lamp is on or glows dimly when the engine is running, this indicates that there is no charging current due to a faulty generator or voltage regulator, and weak tension (or a break) auxiliary drive belt.
Warning! Driving the car with the light on is prohibited, as, in addition to a completely discharged battery, this may indicate a short circuit in the charging circuit, which may cause a fire.
17 – Engine management system indicator lamp (with orange filter). Lights up when the ignition is turned on and stays on while the engine is starting. The lamp should go out immediately after the engine is started. If the lamp lights up while the engine is running, this indicates a malfunction in the engine management system. In this case, the control unit switches to a backup program, which allows you to continue driving. If the lamp lights up, you need to check the electronic control unit using the self-diagnosis function and fix the malfunction.
Attention! Long-term operation of the car with the lamp on is not recommended, as it may lead to increased fuel consumption, deterioration of the car's traction characteristics and engine failure.
If the lamp is flashing, it means that the ignition system is not producing stable sparks. Reduce the engine speed until the lamp goes out. Contact a service station or fix the problem as soon as possible.
18 – Rear window heating indicator light (with yellow filter).
19 – High beam indicator lamp (with blue filter) lights up when the high beam headlights are turned on.
20 – Front passenger airbag deactivation indicator light.
21 – The driver's seat belt warning light comes on at speeds over 10 km/h if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
22 – Airbag malfunction indicator light (with red filter). Functions if the vehicle has an airbag installed in the steering wheel hub. Lights up when the ignition is turned on if there is a malfunction in the airbag system.
Warning! If the warning light comes on, contact your car service immediately. In addition to possible failure in an emergency, the airbag may unexpectedly deploy while driving, which will lead to serious consequences.
23 – Anti-lock brake system malfunction indicator lamp (with yellow filter). Functions if the vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system. Lights up for 3 seconds when the ignition is turned on (lamp 9 lights up at the same time), after which it should go out.
Attention! If the lamp does not go out, contact a car service, since braking in all cases occurs without the participation of the anti-lock system.
24 – low beam headlight indicator lamp (with green filter) lights up when the low beam headlights are turned on.
