Instrument cluster
The instrument cluster of the vehicle dashboard includes a set of main meters, control lamps and light indicators.
Speedometer, odometer and mileage counter of the current trip
The speedometer indicates the vehicle's speed in km/h. below the axis of the indicator arrow is a digital display, the upper field of which is reserved for the odometer readings (total car odometer), lower - under the readings of the mileage counter of the current trip.
Tachometer
Next to the dial of the speedometer is an engine speed indicator - a tachometer. The meter needle shows the driver the engine speed in rpm. Make sure that the engine speed does not rise so much that the pointer needle enters the range of the meter scale highlighted in red.
Coolant temperature meter
The meter records the temperature of the engine coolant. Meter readings may vary depending on ambient temperature and driving conditions. If the instrument pointer goes beyond the range of permissible scale values, you should immediately stop moving and let the engine cool down. Prolonged operation of an overheated engine can lead to its failure.
Fuel consumption meter
The fuel consumption meter indicates the current level of fuel in the tank. When braking, accelerating, maneuvering and driving the vehicle on an inclined plane, the meter readings may vary slightly. The connection diagram of the meter is such that it continues to give a working value even when the ignition is off. When the fuel level in the tank drops to a critical value, the control lamp built into the dial of the meter is activated.
Pilot lamps and signal buzzers
A whole range of warning lamps is built into the assembly of the car's instrument cluster, with the help of which the driver receives important information about the serviceability / violation of the functioning of the main units and systems of the car. Below, the reader is offered information on the principle of operation of each of the provided light indicators separately.

Lamp health check
1. Set the parking brake and turn on the ignition (do not start the engine), - indicator lamps for charge, oil pressure and engine status should light up on the instrument panel
Also, the ABS and SRS warning lamps should turn on briefly and soon go out
AIR BAG
2. If any of the listed lamps does not work, then it is out of order, or there is an open circuit in its electrical wiring. Try to identify and eliminate the cause of the failure.
Control lamp of a charge of the rechargeable battery
The charge control lamp should light up when the ignition is switched on and go out immediately after starting the engine. The inclusion of this warning lamp with the engine running warns the driver about a malfunction in the charging system, i.e., the battery goes into discharge mode. You should immediately turn off all consumers of electricity, the operation of which does not affect road safety and try not to stop the engine, as an attempt to restart it can lead to the final discharge of the battery. The vehicle should be immediately driven to the nearest service station to diagnose the failure and perform the necessary remedial repairs.
Engine oil pressure warning lamp
The engine oil pressure warning lamp should come on when the ignition is turned on and go out immediately after starting the engine. The flashing of the lamp with the engine running indicates a pulsating decrease in the working pressure of the engine oil in the engine. When the light stays on, it indicates that the oil pressure has dropped to a dangerously low level, which is fraught with serious internal engine damage, up to and including its complete failure. In both cases, urgent action should be taken to correct the oil level, identify and eliminate the causes of pressure drop.
Engine status warning lamp
The control lamp lights up briefly when the ignition is switched on. Its operation at any other time indicates a possible malfunction of one of the electrical systems of the power unit. In the absence of visible signs of failures in the functioning of the systems of the power unit and a decrease in the dynamics of the vehicle, violations fixed by the inclusion of a warning lamp can cause an increase in fuel consumption or an increase in the toxicity of emissions. Ignoring the signals of the warning lamp is fraught with serious engine damage, up to the failure of the unit. If the warning lamp comes on while driving, immediately stop driving, park in a safe place and turn off the engine, then, after a short time, start, while observing the behavior of the warning lamp. If the lamp does not return to normal operation and remains on, the vehicle should be driven to the nearest service station for detailed diagnosis and necessary remedial repairs. Until the malfunction of the engine systems is eliminated, try to move at a moderate speed, avoiding sudden accelerations with full depressing of the gas pedal.
Note. Even if the indicator lamp returns to normal when the engine is restarted (i.e., goes out), you should seek advice from a workshop as soon as possible, especially if this kind of indicator light does not occur for the first time.
Continued operation of the vehicle with the check engine light on may result in premature failure of the catalytic converter. Remember that failures and damages resulting from the operation of the car with the control lamp on are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty obligations! In addition to the functions described above, on equipped models, this warning lamp also functions as a NATS V2.0 warning lamp.
Control lamp of inclusion of a high beam
This indicator light comes on when the vehicle's high beam headlights are switched on (see below).
Control lamp of inclusion of back foggy lanterns
This indicator light confirms that the rear fog lights are working properly when they are turned on.
Brake fluid level warning lamp
The operation of this warning lamp informs the driver of a critical decrease in the level of hydraulic fluid in the brake system.
Control lamp of a cocking of a parking brake
This warning lamp illuminates continuously when the parking brake is applied, reminding the driver to release it before driving off. Driving with the parking brake applied leads to rapid overheating and failure of the brake mechanisms of the rear wheels of the car and premature wear of the rear wheel tire treads, and, in addition, may cause a malfunction of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) (see below). One of the possible reasons for the gradual decrease in the level of brake fluid is the normal wear of the friction linings of the brake pads. When the warning lamp comes on, the car should be driven to the nearest service station to assess the condition of the pads and check the tightness of the hydraulic path of the brake system.
A short-term operation of the control lamp also occurs when the ignition is switched on (even with the parking brake released).
ABS warning lamp
With the appropriate vehicle equipment, this warning lamp lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out immediately after the engine is started, thereby confirming the correct operation of the anti-lock brake circuit. The operation of the warning lamp in any other situations indicates that the self-diagnosis system has detected violations in the ABS circuit. The vehicle should be immediately driven to the nearest service station for a detailed diagnosis of the system and the necessary remedial repairs.
Note. When the warning light comes on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled, but the vehicle's brakes continue to function normally, providing the vehicle with adequate braking.
Additional security warning lamp (SRS)
This warning lamp comes on when the ignition is switched on and should go out as soon as the engine is started. If the lamp continues to burn while the engine is running (in continuous or flashing mode), this indicates a malfunction of the SRS system components. When equipped, this warning lamp may indicate a malfunction in the side airbag circuits or the automatic emergency seat belt tensioners.
Control lamp for switching on the tempostat
CRUISE If equipped with the appropriate vehicle, this warning lamp comes on when the cruise control system is activated (tempostat) (see below).
Control lamp of loose closing of doors
The glow of this control lamp warns the driver that not all the doors of the car are tightly closed.
Direction indicator light
The indicator confirms the fact and serviceability of the functioning of the direction indicators of the vehicle and operates in a flashing mode with a frequency corresponding to the blinking frequency of the indicators. The rapid blinking of the indicator usually indicates a burnout of the lamp of one of the direction indicators. It is necessary to replace the burned-out lamp as soon as possible so as not to create emergency situations on the roads.
The flashing of this indicator is usually also accompanied by the activation of the alarm.
Minimum fuel warning lamp
This warning light comes on when there is less than 9.0 liters of fuel left in the fuel tank and warns the driver to urgently refuel the vehicle.
Overdrive Disable Warning Light
O/D OFF
This indicator lamp comes on when the overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position.
Alarm buzzer "Remove the key from the ignition"
