The whole complex of control lamps and indicators with which help the driver receives the important information on serviceability/infringement functioning of the basic units and car systems is built in assemblage of a combination of devices of the car. The scheme of an arrangement of control lamps on an instrument guard is presented on an accompanying illustration. More low the information on a principle of functioning of each of the provided light indicators separately is offered to attention of the reader.

Control lamps of indexes of turn


Two control lamps in the form of arrows have a green luminescence and serve for the control of serviceability of functioning of corresponding indexes of turns. The direction of display arrows coincides with the chosen direction of a course change of the car. Control lamps work in a flashing mode with the frequency corresponding to frequency of a blinking of indexes of turn. The speeded up blinking of one of control lamps usually testifies about перегорании lamps of one of indexes of corresponding turn. It is necessary to make replacement of the burnt down lamp at the first possibility not to create emergencies on roads.

The simultaneous blinking of control lamps of indexes of both turns usually accompanies alarm system inclusion.

Control lamp of inclusion of a headlight

The given light indicator lights up simultaneously with inclusion of a headlight of head headlights of the car and differs a characteristic dark blue luminescence.

Control lamp of pressure of impellent oil

The control lamp of pressure of impellent oil (red) should light up at inclusion of ignition and die away right after engine start. The lamp blinking at the working engine testifies about пульсационном decrease in working pressure of engine oil in the engine. Indicator transition in a mode of a constant luminescence says that pressure of oil has fallen to dangerously low level that is fraught with serious internal damages of the engine, up to its full exit out of operation. In both cases it is necessary to take urgent measures on updating of level of oil, revealing and elimination of the reasons of pressure drop.

Control lamp of leaky closing of doors

Burning of the given control lamp warns the driver what not all doors of the car are densely slammed. The lamp has red, or a yellow luminescence.

Control lamp of raising lay brakes/refusals of brake system

The control lamp (red) continuously burns at raising of a lay brake, reminding the driver of its necessity отпускания before a start of motion. Movement with the cocked lay brake leads to a fast overheat and failure of brake mechanisms of back wheels of the car and premature deterioration of protectors of tyres of back wheels, but also, can become a cause of infringement of serviceability of functioning of system of antiblocking of brakes (ABS).

If the control lamp continues to burn after отпускания a lay brake, or joins in movement time, it usually testifies to excessive falling of level of a brake liquid. One of the possible reasons of gradual decrease in level of a brake liquid is normal deterioration of frictional overlays brake колодок. At operation of a control lamp the car should be driven away on the nearest car repair shop for a condition estimation колодок and checks of tightness of a hydraulic path of brake system.

Short-term operation of a control lamp occurs also at ignition inclusion (even at the released lay brake).

Control lamp of gymnastics of the storage battery

The control lamp of gymnastics should light up at inclusion of ignition and die away right after engine start. Inclusion of the given control lamp at the working engine warns the driver about infringement of serviceability of functioning of system of gymnastics, i.e., the storage battery passes in a category mode. It is necessary to switch off at once all consumers of the electric power on which functioning safety of traffic does not depend and to try not to admit останова the engine as attempt of its start can lead to the definitive category of the battery. The car should be driven away at once on the nearest car repair shop for carrying out of diagnostics of refusal and performance of necessary regenerative repair.

Control lamp MIL (“Check up the engine”)

The control lamp (amber) quickly lights up at ignition inclusion. Operation of the given indicator during any other time testifies to possible malfunction of one of engine systems, including systems of decrease in toxicity of the fulfilled gases. In the absence of visible signs of refusals of functioning of systems of the power unit and decrease in dynamics of the vehicle, fixed by inclusion of a control lamp of infringement the increase in the expense of fuel or increase of toxicity of emissions can be at the bottom. Ignoring of signals of a control lamp is fraught with serious damages of the engine, up to a unit exit out of operation. At operation of a control lamp on the move it is necessary to stop immediately movement, to park in a safe place and to muffle the engine, then, after small time, to make start, observing thus of behaviour of a control lamp. If the lamp has not returned to a normal mode of functioning and continues to burn, the car should be driven away on the nearest car repair shop for carrying out of detailed diagnostics and performance of necessary regenerative repair. Before elimination of malfunction of systems of the engine try to move with moderate speed, avoiding sharp dispersals with full squeezing of a pedal of gas.

Even if at engine restart the control lamp comes back in a normal mode of functioning (i.e., dies away), it is necessary to address at the first possibility for consultation on a car repair shop, especially if such inclusions of a lamp occur not for the first time.

Continuation of operation of the car with the included control lamp of infringement of serviceability of functioning of systems of the engine can lead to premature failure каталитического the converter.

Remember that on refusals and the damages which have resulted operation of the car with the included control lamp, manufacturer guarantee certificates do not extend!


Control lamp of system of additional safety (SRS)

The given control lamp lights up at inclusion of ignition and should die away right after realisation of start of the engine. If the llama continues to burn at the working engine (in a constant or flashing mode), it specifies in presence of malfunction of components of system SRS. At a corresponding complete set operation of the given control lamp can be the malfunction certificate in contours of lateral pillows of safety, or devices automatic emergency натяжителей seat belts.

Control lamp ABS

The given control lamp serves for the control over serviceability of functioning ABS, quickly works at inclusion of ignition and should die away after some seconds after realisation of start of the engine (the Brake system see the Head).

Control lamp of seat belts

The given control lamp has an amber luminescence and quickly works at engine start, reminding the driver/passengers of necessity пристегивания seat belts.

The given control lamp serves for the control of an overheat of oil of back differential.

Control lamp electronic иммобилизатора the engine

The given control lamp serves for the control over serviceability of functioning of system electronic иммобилизации the engine.

Control lamp of a reserve stock of fuel

The control lamp is built in in a measuring instrument of the expense of fuel (see more low) and joins, when in a fuel tank of the car there are less than 9.0 l of fuel and warns the driver about necessity to make car refuelling at the first opportunity.

Measuring instruments/indexes

Tachometre

The tachometre shows frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft of the engine in thousand turns a minute. In order to avoid an engine exit out of operation it is forbidden to exceed as much as possible admissible frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft (the arrow of a tachometre never should come into a red zone of a scale).

Speedometer

The speedometer shows speed of movement of the car. As a unit of measure usually serves km/h. In certain cases on a measuring instrument dial can be put two scales: km/h and miles/ch. The alarm buzzer of excess of admissible safe speed of movement (120 km/h) can sometimes enter into a car complete set.

The index of a stock of fuel in a tank

Typical kind of the index of a stock of fuel

The device registers current quantity of fuel in a tank. The error of indications of a measuring instrument is minimum, when the car occupies strictly horizontal position. At car movement on twisting or hilly roads the device error increases. Measuring instrument functioning does not depend on ignition key position. Label F corresponds to a condition of full refuelling, Е - to an empty tank. The control lamp built in a dial informs the driver on necessity at the first possibility to make car refuelling.

The index of temperature of a cooling liquid of the engine

Typical kind of a dial of a measuring instrument of temperature of a cooling liquid


The device registers temperature of a cooling liquid of the engine.

The normal working temperature of the engine at car operation in usual conditions corresponds to average position of an arrow of the index. Under trying conditions operation, for example, in very hot weather or at long lifting uphill the arrow of the index can rise to the top red mark in a scale (). If the engine temperature has increased so that the arrow of the index comes into limits of a red range of a scale of a measuring instrument (label), it is necessary to stop immediately movement, to move down on a roadside, to park the car and to make check of a condition of system of cooling about finding-out of the reasons of an overheat of the engine (Routine maintenance see the Head).

Одометр

The electronic digital display of the control of indications odometra / two counters of current run


Одометр fixes the general run of the car in kilometres or miles, depending on an execution variant. The electronic digital display одометра is built in a dial of a speedometer and allows to highlight also indications of independent two counters of current run of the car.

Counters of current kilometric area of run

Two independent counters (And and) register current run of the car from the moment of last dump of the indications (in kilometres or miles, depending on an execution variant). Dump of indications of the counter is made by means of the special button which has been built in in an instrument guard more to the left of assemblage of a speedometer, - by means of the same button switching of modes of indications of the digital display serving for reproduction of counters is carried out.

Choice of modes of functioning of a cleaner and inclusion of a washer of back glass.

Cleaner inclusion is made by поворачивания management handles on the lever right подрулевого the switch. One worker of functioning has a cleaner only: the interval mode, which inclusion is made by handle transfer clockwise from position OFF in position ON.

For giving on back glass of a washing liquid at a working screen wiper it is necessary to turn the handle in extreme top position, - the liquid will move on glass until the handle will not be released.

Giving possibility on glass of a washing liquid without start of screen wipers is provided also, - turn the lever handle counter-clockwise, - the liquid will move until the handle will not be released.

Safety measures at using cleaners and washers of glasses

Attempts of start of screen wipers at the brushes which have frozen slightly to glass are fraught with an electromotor exit out of operation as a result of an overheat, - glass preliminary should be cleared of ice/snow and to warm up a way blowing hot air.

Avoid inclusion of screen wipers at dry glass, - it is fraught with occurrence of scratches on glass, and also appreciably reduces service life of rubber working elements of brushes.

It is not necessary to include a washer continuously more than for 20 seconds, also avoid inclusion of washers at the empty tank, is it is fraught with failure drive the electromotor of the submitting pump. Periodically check liquid level in the tank, in case of need make corresponding updating (Routine maintenance see the Head).

In a cold season fill in in the tank of washers of glasses only special cold-resistant structures, - freezing of a washing liquid can lead to failure of the tank and tubes of a submitting path.

Before use of washers in cold weather preliminary warm up glass, - the glass icing can lead to dangerous deterioration of the review to the driver.
