Scheme of an arrangement of control lamps and measuring instruments of a combination of devices
The whole complex of control lamps and indicators by means of which the driver obtains important information on serviceability/violation functioning of the main units and systems of the car is built in assembly of a combination of devices of the car. The scheme of an arrangement of control lamps on an instrument guard is submitted on an accompanying illustration. Below information on the 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 control of serviceability of functioning of the corresponding indexes of turns. The direction of indicator arrows coincides with the chosen direction of change of course of the car. Control lamps work in the flashing mode with a frequency, the corresponding frequency of a blinking of indexes of turn. The speeded-up blinking of one of control lamps usually demonstrates burn-out of a lamp of one of indexes of the corresponding turn. Follows at the first opportunity to make replacement of the burned-down lamp not to create emergencies on roads.
Turning on of the alarm system usually is followed by a simultaneous blinking of control lamps of indexes of both turns.
Control lamp of inclusion of driving beam
This light indicator lights up along with inclusion of driving beam of head headlights of the car and differs in a characteristic blue luminescence.
Control lamp of pressure of motive oil
The control lamp of pressure of motive oil (red) has to light up at inclusion of ignition and die away right after start of the engine. The lamp blinking at the working engine demonstrates the pulsation decrease in working pressure of engine oil in the engine. Transition of the indicator to the mode of a constant luminescence says that pressure of oil fell 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 for adjustment of level of oil, identification and elimination of the reasons of pressure drop.
Control lamp of leaky closing of doors
Burning of this control lamp warns the driver that not all doors of the car are densely shut. The lamp has a red, or yellow luminescence.
Control lamp of raising of a parking brake / failures of the brake system
The control lamp (red) continuously burns at raising of the parking brake, reminding the driver of need of his otpuskaniye before a start of motion. The movement with the cocked parking brake leads to a bystry overheat and failure of brake mechanisms of back wheels of the car and premature wear of protectors of tires of back wheels, but also, can become a cause of infringement of serviceability of functioning of system of anti-blocking of brakes (ABS).
If the control lamp continues to burn after an otpuskaniye of the parking brake, or joins in time of the movement, it usually demonstrates excessive falling of level of brake fluid. One of the possible reasons of gradual decrease in level of brake fluid is normal wear of frictional overlays of brake shoes. At operation of a control lamp the car should be driven away on the nearest car repair shop for assessment of a condition of blocks and check of tightness of a hydraulic path of the brake system.
Short-term operation of a control lamp happens also at inclusion of ignition (even at the released parking brake).
Control lamp of charging of the rechargeable battery
The control lamp of charging has to light up at inclusion of ignition and die away right after start of the engine. Inclusion of this control lamp at the working engine warns the driver about violation of serviceability of functioning of system of charging, i.e., the rechargeable battery passes into the category mode. It is necessary to switch off at once everything consumers of the electric power on whose functioning traffic safety does not depend and to try not to allow an engine stop as the attempt of its start can lead to the final category of the battery. The car should be driven away at once on the nearest car repair shop for performing diagnostics of refusal and performance of necessary recovery repair.
Control lamp of MIL ("Check the engine")
The control lamp (amber) quickly lights up at inclusion of ignition. Operation of this indicator in any other time testifies to possible malfunction of one of systems of the engine, 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 violation can be the reason of increase in fuel consumption or increase in toxicity of emissions. 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 run it is necessary to stop immediately the movement, to park in the safe place and to kill the engine, then, later small time, to make start, watching at the same time behavior of a control lamp. If the lamp did not return to the normal mode of functioning and continues to burn, the car should be driven away on the nearest car repair shop for performing detailed diagnostics and performance of necessary recovery repair. Before elimination of malfunction of systems of the engine try to move with a moderate speed, avoiding sharp dispersals with full squeezing of the accelerator pedal.
|
|
Even if at restart of the engine the control lamp comes back to the normal mode of functioning (i.e., dies away), follows at the first opportunity to address for consultation on car repair shop, especially if such inclusions of a lamp happen not for the first time. |
|
|
Continuation of operation of the car with the included control lamp of violation of serviceability of functioning of systems of the engine can lead to premature failure of the catalytic converter.
Remember that do not extend to the refusals and damages which resulted from operation of the car with the included control lamp, guarantee certificates of manufacturer! |
Control lamp of system of additional safety (SRS)
This control lamp lights up at inclusion of ignition and has to die away right after implementation of start of the engine. if the lama continues to burn at the working engine (in the constant or flashing mode), it indicates existence of malfunction of components of the SRS system. At the corresponding complete set operation of this control lamp can be the testimony of malfunction in contours of side safety cushions, or devices of automatic emergency natyazhitel of seat belts.
Control lamp of ABS
This control lamp serves for control of serviceability of functioning of ABS, quickly works at inclusion of ignition and has to die away several seconds later after implementation of start of the engine (see the Head the Brake system).
Control lamp of seat belts
This control lamp has an amber luminescence and quickly works at start of the engine, reminding drivers/passengers of need of fastening by seat belts.
Control lamp of the HOLD mode (model with AT)
This control lamp works at inclusion of the HOLD AT mode.
Control lamp of the POWER mode (model with AT)
This control lamp works at inclusion of the POWER AT mode.
Control lamp of the mode of the lowering transfer
This control lamp works at inclusion of the mode of the lowering transfer.
Control lamp of the mode of the forward drive
This control lamp confirms turning on of the forward drive on models with the switched-off forward drive.
Control lamp of temperature of ATF
This control lamp allows the driver to control an overheat of gearbox oil in AT at the movement in cross-country conditions or the mountain area.
Control lamp of temperature of oil of back differential (model with a turbo-supercharging)
This control lamp serves for control of an overheat of oil of back differential.
Control lamp of an electronic immobilizator of the engine
This control lamp serves for control over serviceability of functioning of system of an electronic immobilization of the engine.
Control lamp of a reserve reserve of fuel
The control lamp is built in in fuel consumption measuring instrument (see below) and joins when in the fuel tank of the car there are less than 9.0 l of fuel and warns the driver about need to make gas station of the car at the first opportunity.
Measuring instruments/indexes
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the frequency of rotation of a bent shaft of the engine in thousands of revolutions per minute. In order to avoid an exit of the engine it is out of operation forbidden to exceed the most admissible frequency of rotation of a bent shaft (the arrow of a tachometer never has to come into a red zone of a scale).
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the speed of the movement of the car. As a unit of measure usually serves the km/h. in certain cases on the dial of the measuring instrument two scales can be put: km/h and miles/h. The alarm buzzer of excess of admissible safe speed of the movement (120 km/h) can sometimes be included in the package of the car.
The index of a reserve of fuel in a tank
|
|
Typical type of the index of a reserve of fuel |
The device registers the current amount of fuel in a tank. The error of indications of the measuring instrument is minimum when the car holds strictly horizontal position. At movement of the car along twisting or hilly roads the error of the device increases. Functioning of the measuring instrument does not depend on position of the ignition key. The tag of F corresponds to a condition of full gas station, E - to an empty tank. The control lamp which is built in the dial informs the driver on need at the first opportunity to make refueling of the car.
Index of temperature of cooling liquid of the engine
|
|
Typical type of the dial of the measuring instrument of temperature of cooling liquid |
The device registers temperature of cooling liquid of the engine.
Normal working temperature of the engine at operation of the car in usual conditions corresponds to the average provision of an arrow of the index. Under trying conditions operation, for example, in very hot weather or at long rise uphill the arrow of the index can rise to the top red mark in a scale (N). If temperature of the engine increased so that the arrow of the index comes into limits of red range of a scale of the measuring instrument (a tag of N), it is necessary to stop immediately the movement, to move down on a roadside, to park the car and to make check of a condition of the cooling system regarding clarification of the reasons of an overheat of the engine (see the Head Routine maintenance).
Odometer
Electronic digital display of control of indications of the odometer / two counters of the current run
The odometer fixes the general run of the car in kilometers or miles, depending on execution option. The electronic digital display of the odometer is built in the dial of a speedometer and allows to highlight also indications of independent two counters of the current run of the car.
Counters of the current distance in kilometers of a run
Two independent counters (And yes In) register the current run of the car from the moment of the last dumping of the indications (in kilometers or miles, depending on execution option). Dumping of indications of the counter is made by means of the special button which is built in in an instrument guard assemblies of a speedometer are more left, - by means of the same button switching of the modes of indications of the digital display serving for reproduction of counters is carried out.
Index of temperature of external air
The electronic digital display of the index is built in the tachometer dial.
The governing bodies located on a steering column and on the control panel
The left combined understeering switch (external lighting and alarm fixtures)
Choice of the mode of functioning of external lighting fixtures
|
|
Choice of the mode of functioning of external lighting fixtures (running fires). |
The choice of the mode of functioning of external lighting fixtures (dimensions, the neighbor of light) is made by means of the rotary handle located on the end of the lever of the understeering switch. There is a possibility of the choice of one of three modes of external lighting:
OFF = is switched off.
= marker lights - join lobbies and back marker lights, lamps of illumination of registration plate.
= passing beam - in additives to fires involved in the previous position of the handle passing beam of head headlights is turned on.
On the models equipped with system of running fires of day time of day (DRL), head headlights automatically are transferred to the mode of passing beam at inclusion of ignition. Back marker lights are also automatically activated.
The majority of models is equipped with the alarm buzzer serving for the warning of the driver of need of shutdown of lighting before an exit from the car. The buzzer works in attempt of opening of a driver's door at the switched-off ignition (a key in position of LOCK or ASS) if the handle of the choice of the mode of external lighting is not transferred to situation "Vykl" (OFF).
|
|
Remember that excessively long functioning of external lighting at the killed engine is fraught with replanting of the rechargeable battery! |
Switching of the modes of functioning of head headlights (passing/driving beam)
|
A transfer of head headlights from the mode of passing beam in the mode of driving beam is made by push-up of the lever of the understeering switch from itself, - automatically on an instrument guard the corresponding control lamp of characteristic blue light has to light up (see above). For cutoff of driving beam return the lever to a starting position.
|
Also the possibility of the alarm system is provided by driving beam: the alarm system is carried out by procrastination of the lever of the understeering switch on itself and irrespective of the chosen position of the handle of the choice of the mode of functioning of external lighting fixtures (see above).
|
|
The alarm system driving beam remains possible even at the switched-off ignition. |
Indexes of turns
|
|
Activation of indexes of turns. |
Activation of indexes of turns is made by push-up of the lever of the left understeering switch in the corresponding direction. The lever is transferred up or down, to dependences of the chosen direction of change of course.
At transfer of the lever to extreme top/lower situation (before click) the corresponding indexes of turns will continue to function until the steering wheel is not returned in rectilinear situation (the terminal switch will work), or so far the lever will not be returned in neutral situation.
Short-term inclusion of indexes, for example, at intention to replace a lane of the movement is made by easy procrastination of the lever up or down.
Brightness control of illumination of devices
Brightness control of illumination of devices is carried out only in provisions and the rotary handle of the choice of the mode of functioning of external lighting fixtures.
|
|
Brightness control of illumination of devices. |
The ring regulator of intensity of illumination is located also on the lever of the right steering switch.

|
Switch of back foggy lamps. |
Activation of back foggy lamps becomes possible only at the included head and/or forward fog lights. For inclusion of foggy lamps press the button of the switch which is built in in the dashboard (directly under the button of inclusion of forward fog lights). The control lamp reminding to the driver that foggy lamps remain included on an instrument guard of the car also is built in the button the corresponding control lamp lights up (see above). Shutdown of lamps is carried out by repeated pressing the button.
|
|
Foggy lamps are disconnected automatically together with head headlights / ignition, and the subsequent their activation perhaps only by means of reuse of the switch. |
Regulator of an inclination of optical axes of headlights
For adjustment of a distance of lighting (at inclusion of passing beam) not to blind drivers of oncoming cars, it is possible to use the regulator of an inclination of optical axes of headlights.
|
|
Regulator of an inclination of optical axes of headlights. |
The regulator has to be installed in the situation corresponding to the number of passengers and extent of loading of the car.

The right combined understeering switch (cleaners and washers of a windshield)
Switch of cleaners and washers of a windshield
Activation of cleaners and washers of wind is possible only at the included ignition (a key in position of ON or ASS).
For management of cleaners/washers of glasses one of two types of switches is used.
Switch of the first type
The switch of management of functioning of cleaners/washers of a windshield of the first type (without adjustment of duration of pauses of the interval mode)
The first type of the switch is used for management of screen wipers without a possibility of adjustment of duration of pauses of the interval mode. In this case the lever of the understeering switch is not equipped with the rotary handle. The choice of the mode of functioning of cleaners is made by transfer of the lever to one of four possible provisions:
OFF = is switched off
= interval mode
LO = low-speed mode
HI = high-speed mode
Also the possibility of single operation of cleaners is provided, - rather slightly to delay the lever of the understeering switch on itself. This function is especially useful at the movement in fog or under a drizzle.
|
|
The button of the switch of supply of the washing liquid is built in an end face of the handle of the understeering switch. |
Inclusion of washers of glass is made by means of the lever of the push-button switch which is built in an end face of the handle, - liquid will move on glass until the button of the switch remains pressed.
|
|
Supply of the washing liquid is followed by several cycles of operation of screen wipers. |
Switch of the second type
|
|
The switch of management of functioning of cleaners/washers of a windshield of the second type (with adjustment of duration of pauses of the interval mode by means of the rotary face handle). |
The switch of this type provides a possibility of adjustment of duration of pauses of the interval mode. The mentioned adjustment is carried out by rotation of the ring switch which is built in the central part of the handle of the lever of the understeering switch. Inclusion of all functions is made also as well as on the switch of the first type (see above).
Switch of a cleaner and washer of back glass
Cleaner/washer of back glass are activated only at the included ignition (the key is turned in position of ON or ASS).
|
|
Choice of the modes of functioning of a cleaner and inclusion of a washer of back glass. |
Inclusion of a cleaner is made by turning of the handle of management on the lever of the right understeering switch. Only one worker of functioning has a cleaner: the interval mode which inclusion is made by the translation of the handle clockwise from position of OFF in position of ON.
For giving on back glass of the washing liquid at the working screen wiper it is necessary to turn the handle in extreme top situation, - liquid will move on glass until the handle is not released.
Also the possibility of giving on glass of the washing liquid without start of screen wipers is provided, - turn the lever handle counterclockwise, - liquid will move until the handle is not released.
Precautionary measures when using of cleaners and washers of glasses
Attempts of start of screen wipers at the brushes which froze slightly to glass are fraught with an electric motor exit out of operation as a result of an overheat, - previously glass should be cleared of ice/snow and to warm up by an obduv hot air.
Avoid inclusion of screen wipers at dry glass, - it is fraught with developing of scratches on glass, and also considerably 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, - it is fraught with failure of a driving electric motor of the giving pump. Periodically check liquid level in the tank, in case of need you make the corresponding adjustment (see the Head Routine maintenance).
In cold season fill in only special frost-resistant structures in the tank of washers of glasses, - freezing of the washing liquid can lead to failure of the tank and tubes of the giving path.
Before use of washers in cold weather previously warm up glass, - frosting of glass can lead to dangerous deterioration in the review to the driver.
Switch of the alarm light system
|
|
Inclusion/switching off of the alarm system. |
Turning on of the alarm system is made by means of the push-button switch which is built in in the central part of the dashboard of the car and usually equipped with an alarm lamp with the pictogram representing two triangles entered each other.
Turning on of the alarm system leads to simultaneous operation of all four indexes of turns (and their control lamps on an instrument guard of the car). The alarm system is intended for the warning of other participants of traffic of the compelled stop of the car and is used also in other dangerous situations provided by traffic regulations.
Switch of an electrical heating of back glass / external rear-view mirrors
|
|
Switch of an electrical heating of back glass. |
Inclusion of an electrical heating allows to remove from the surface of back glass of condensate, hoarfrost, and even thin frost. The button of inclusion of an electrical heating is located in the central part of the dashboard, in the neighbourhood with the switch of the alarm system.
|
|
On appropriately equipped models along with heating of back glass joins as well heating of external rear-view mirrors. |
At inclusion of heating the light indicator which is built in the switch button lights up.
Shutdown of heating is made by repeated pressing the button, or 15 minutes later after inclusion on a signal of the special timer.
|
|
Functioning of a heating element becomes possible only in position of the ON switch of ignition. |
Do not forget to check before a start of motion quality of the review through back glass of the car.
The threadlike grid of a heating element of a heater is pasted on the internal surface of back glass and demands care in the address, - try not to damage a grid when wiping glass. Wiping should be made only along heater threads.
Switch of supply of liquid of washing of lenses of head headlights
Switch of supply of liquid of washing of lenses of head headlights
Supply of the washing liquid on lenses of head headlights becomes possible only in position of the ON switch of ignition, is carried out by means of the car of the push-button switch which is built in in the dashboard and continues within no more than 0.5 seconds then automatically stops.
|
|
Avoid inclusion of faroomyvatel at the empty tank of the washing liquid! |
Switch of adjustment of provision of rear-view mirrors
|
|
Switch of adjustment of provision of rear-view mirrors. |
The switch of a regulriovka of rear-view mirrors is located in the top part of an armrest of a driver's door of the car and consists of the selector polzunkovy switch of the choice of the mirror which is subject adjustments and the four-directed joystick switch actually of adjustment of provision of the chosen mirror.
For the choice of the mirror which is subject to adjustment transfer the polzunkovy switch located in the lower part of assembly to the relevant provision (R - the right mirror or L - the left mirror). Adjustment of provision of the chosen mirror is made by means of the four-directed joystick switch in compliance by the shooters represented on it (updown / вправо-влево).
Having finished adjustment, in order to avoid casual failure of adjustment, do not forget to transfer the selector switch to neutral (central) situation.
Heating of external rear-view mirrors
Heating of mirrors of door rear-view mirrors (at the corresponding complete set of the car) joins along with heating of back glass (see above).
Sound signal
The button of inclusion of a sound signal is built in a stupichny part of a steering wheel.
Adjustment of an inclination of a steering column (if it is provided)
Adjust as appropriate the provision of a driver's seat (see above), then delay the driving lever located at the left under a steering wheel up and transfer a steering column to a comfortable position.
For fixing of a column in the chosen situation lower the lever.
|
|
Do not begin the movement at all, without having made sure of reliability of fixing of a column, - having pulled a steering wheel up-down! |
