Control lamps, signalling devices and indicators

Self-diagnostics of systems of the car


All important electric and electronic systems in the car are exposed to regular automatic testing. Thus you should not include or regulate anything.

So, at ignition inclusion, all control lamps are checked. If one of them is faulty, the information on it registers in memory of system of diagnostics of malfunctions, whence it is possible to consider it subsequently.

During a trip constant measurements of a current in the relay of servomotors (screen wipers, windows, seats, the hatch in a roof etc.) allow to supervise their working capacity.

Also electric resistance запальных generators NPB and all other elements of this system is constantly measured. Any malfunction is registered thanks to fluctuations of pressure accompanying it, and the corresponding signal about malfunction will be submitted by control lamp НПБ on a control panel.

Even after engine deenergizing the complete control of working capacity of your car is made. For example, all заслонки heating and ventilation systems move to the nearest final position. Thereby it is possible to provide preservation of function of defrosting even if in the car within night there was any defect in heating or ventilation system in any case.

After each deenergizing of the engine checking process during which time all servomotors move заслонки systems of heating and ventilation to both extreme positions is made. Final positions and a course заслонок are thus supervised that provides subsequently correct adjustment according to position of regulators.

Noise testifies to process of self-diagnostics of system of heating / ventilation from work заслонок which is audible after ignition deenergizing. All other functions of self-testing by noise are not accompanied and are not appreciable.

The information on all defects revealed during self-testing is brought in memory and can be считана by means of special devices that allows to define and eliminate quickly them (address to Section Diagnostics of malfunctions). On HUNDRED this work it is made in a planned order, at carrying out of the next maintenance service.

The control and alarm lamps marked with a sign "about", light up for some time for the purpose of check of working capacity at the moment of ignition key turn, and die away through different time after engine start.

If in one of systems defect the corresponding lamp after engine start does not die away is found out or lights up again during a trip. Actions which are necessary for undertaking in that case, are described more low.

Red lamps: immediately stop

The accumulator category about

Run counters

1 Counter of the general run

At ignition key installation in position “0” you can cause on indication of the indication of the counters presented on an illustration, having pressed the button on a control panel (it is shown by an arrow).

 


2 Measuring instrument of run from the moment of dump

Dump on a zero occurs by pressing of the button shown by an arrow if thus the ignition key is in position 1 or 2.

Tachometre

Avoid finishing of turns of the engine to values of red sector of a scale.

In this range for engine protection fuel giving that is appreciable by capacity falling interrupts.


Эконометр

Эконометр registers the actual expense of fuel in km l/100. You can supervise at any moment, your manner of driving is how much economic and harmless.

At a stop of the car of the marksman comes back to a zero.


The index of a stock of fuel in a tank

For check of work of the device its control lamp for some time lights up at ignition inclusion.

If the lamp burns constantly it means that in a tank remains about 8 litres of fuel.

Data about capacity of a fuel tank is resulted in Specifications.
The various angle of slope of the car (for example, at long movement on mountain road) can cause insignificant fluctuations of instrument readings.
Refuel in due time as fuel development “to last drop” can lead to damages of the engine or catalytic the converter.


The index of temperature of a cooling liquid

Arrow on dark blue sector

The engine still the cold. Movement should occur at moderate turns and speeds.

Arrow on red sector

If the control lamp it means that the engine перегрет burns. In it it is necessary at once to stop and allow to the engine to cool down.

Zone between colour sectors

Corresponds to normal working temperature. At a heat of air or at the big loadings on the engine of the marksman can come nearer to red sector closely.

Check of level of a cooling liquid is carried out under instructions in Section Check of levels of liquids.


The indicator of forthcoming maintenance service

Run to the following THAT

The indication presented on an illustration, appears for some seconds after ignition key turn in position 1 or 2 or after engine start.

Inscriptions OILSERVICE or INSPECTION testify to necessity THAT. Residual run in km is highlighted also. Residual run is calculated on the basis of the data about style of driving.

The sign a minus “-” before figure of residual run means, what exactly it is so much kilometres make THAT followed back.


Replacement of a brake liquid

On indication it is possible to deduce month and year in which it is necessary to make replacement of a brake liquid. For this purpose during a conclusion to indication of term of the following THAT it is necessary to press the button (it is shown by an arrow) on a control panel. By each pressing of the button indication term next THAT and term of replacement of a brake liquid is alternately deduced.

At approach of term of replacement of a brake liquid the symbol in the form of hours constantly burns.

The indicator does not consider time of parking of the car with the disconnected plugs of the accumulator.

Therefore watch that replacement of a brake liquid, irrespective of indicator indications, was made not less often than an once in two years.

Indication of open doors or not switched off light devices

Graphic indication

At position 2 ignition keys on indication in the form of symbols are deduced the information on following preventions (conditions). These symbols do not die away before elimination of the reasons which have caused their occurrence.

1 Check up a passing light.
2 the door Is opened.
3 the luggage carrier Is opened.
4 Check up lanterns of a backing or stoplights. The top symbol testifies to malfunction of an average stoplight.

Hours

Adjustment

It is made after ignition key turn in position 1 or 2.

Putting a clock forward: turn the button to the right.

Putting a clock back: turn the button to the left.

The longer you hold the button in the turned position, the change of indications is fast made.

Change of a mode of indications: press and at once release the button.

With each pressing of the button time indication varies with the 12-sentry on 24-hour and back.

If the ignition key is in position 0 short-term (for some seconds) the call of indications of time is made after pressing of the left adjusting button (see run counters, above).


Travelling компьютер*


Information call

Already after ignition key turn in position 1 you can, using the button in the lever switch of indexes of turn, to cause on the display of a control panel the information of the travelling computer. After each short-term pressing the button in a direction to a steering column the next information is deduced.

The information is deduced in the following sequence: time, temperature of external air, the average expense of fuel, a rough stock of a course, average speed of movement.

With ignition key turn in position 1 on indication corresponding last value is deduced.


Temperature of external air

You can change a unit of measure of temperature of external air (on By Farenheit).

For this purpose during temperature indication it is necessary to press the right adjusting button on a control panel.


The prevention of ice

At temperature drop more low +3°С the precautionary sound signal, and indication some time is distributed blinks.

The prevention repeats, if after last giving of a signal the temperature at least has risen once to +6°С, and then has fallen to +3°С.

Despite presence of system of the prevention of ice, possibility of its formation (for example, on bridges and the shaded sites of roads) as well is not excluded at temperature above +3°С.

The average expense of fuel

If during indication of the average expense of fuel to press the button and some time to keep it from this point on calculation will begin anew. Thus it is necessary, that the engine worked.


Course stock


The course stock is calculated taking into account actual style of driving on last kilometres of a way.

Average speed

If during indication of average speed of movement to press the button and some time to keep it from this point on calculation will begin anew. Thus it is necessary, that the engine worked.

Time of parking with the switched off engine at calculation is not considered.


The light alarm system


Button illumination periodically blinks at the included alarm system.

At the included illumination of the car the button is highlighted that allows to find easier it.

Function of operation of indexes of turn has a priority before function of the light alarm system. Therefore after ignition key turn in position 1 indexes of turn can blink, even if the light alarm system is included.
