Instrument cluster
The instrument cluster of the vehicle's dashboard includes a set of basic gauges, control lamps and indicator lights.
Speedometer, odometer and trip meter
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 mileage counter of a car), the lower one - for the mileage counter readings of the current trip.
Tachometer
Next to the speedometer dial is an engine speed indicator, or tachometer. The meter's needle shows the driver the engine crankshaft speed in rpm. Make sure that the engine speed does not rise so much that the needle goes into the red-marked range of the meter's scale.
Coolant temperature gauge
The gauge registers the engine coolant temperature. Gauge readings may vary depending on ambient temperature and driving conditions. If the gauge needle goes beyond the permissible scale range, stop driving immediately and let the engine cool down. Prolonged operation of an overheated engine may cause it to fail.
Fuel consumption meter
The fuel consumption meter indicates the current fuel level in the tank. When braking, accelerating, maneuvering and driving the car on an inclined plane, the meter readings may vary slightly. The meter connection diagram is such that it continues to output the working value even when the ignition is off. When the fuel level in the tank drops to a critical value, a control lamp mounted in the meter dial is triggered.
Control lamps and signal buzzers
The vehicle's instrument cluster assembly has a whole set of control lamps built in, with the help of which the driver receives important information about the serviceability/malfunction of the vehicle's main units and systems. Below, the reader's attention is offered information about the operating principle of each of the provided light indicators separately.

Checking the lamps for proper operation
1. Set the parking brake and turn on the ignition (do not start the engine), - the charge, oil pressure and engine status indicator lights should light up on the instrument panel
The ABS and SRS warning lights should also come on briefly and then go out shortly
AIR BAG
2. If any of the listed lamps does not work, it is either out of order or there is a break in its electrical wiring. Try to identify and eliminate the cause of the failure.
Battery charge indicator light
The charge indicator lamp should light when the ignition is turned on and go out immediately after the engine starts. When this indicator lamp lights up with the engine running, it warns the driver of a malfunction in the charging system, i.e., the battery is going into discharge mode. You should immediately switch off all power consumers whose operation does not affect road safety and try to prevent the engine from stopping, since an attempt to restart it may result in the battery being completely discharged. The car should be immediately driven to the nearest service station for diagnostics of the failure and the necessary repairs.
Engine oil pressure warning light
The engine oil pressure indicator light should light up when the ignition is turned on and go out immediately after the engine starts. Flashing of the light when the engine is running indicates a pulsating decrease in the working pressure of the engine oil in the engine. When the indicator switches to a constant glow mode, it means that the oil pressure has dropped to a dangerously low level, which is fraught with serious internal damage to the engine, up to its complete failure. In both cases, urgent measures should be taken to adjust the oil level, identify and eliminate the causes of the pressure drop.
Engine status indicator light
The indicator lamp lights up briefly when the ignition is turned on. If it lights up at any other time, it indicates a possible malfunction of one of the electrical systems of the power unit. In the absence of visible signs of failure of the power unit systems and a decrease in the vehicle dynamics, the violations recorded by the indicator lamp may cause an increase in fuel consumption or an increase in the toxicity of emissions. Ignoring the indicator lamp signals is fraught with serious damage to the engine, up to and including failure of the unit. If the indicator lamp lights up while driving, you should immediately stop driving, park in a safe place and turn off the engine, then, after a short time, start the car, while observing the behavior of the indicator lamp. If the lamp does not return to normal operation and continues to light, the car should be driven to the nearest service station for detailed diagnostics and the necessary repairs. Until the malfunction of the engine systems is eliminated, try to drive at a moderate speed, avoiding sudden acceleration with full depressing of the gas pedal.
Note: Even if the indicator lamp returns to normal when the engine is restarted, (i.e., it goes out), you should contact a service station for advice at the earliest opportunity, especially if this type of indicator light is not the first time it has occurred.
Continued operation of the vehicle with the engine status indicator light on may result in premature failure of the catalytic converter. Remember that failures and damages resulting from operating the vehicle with the indicator light on are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty! In addition to the functions described above, on models with the appropriate configuration, this indicator light also functions as a NATS V2.0 anti-theft system indicator light.
High beam indicator lamp
This indicator light comes on simultaneously with the high beam headlights of the vehicle being switched on (see below).
Rear fog light indicator light
This indicator light confirms that the rear fog lights are functioning properly when they are turned on.
Brake fluid level indicator light
When this indicator lamp comes on, it informs the driver about a critical drop in the hydraulic fluid level in the brake system.
Parking brake engagement indicator light
This warning lamp lights continuously when the parking brake is applied, reminding the driver to release it before driving. Driving with the parking brake applied leads to rapid overheating and failure of the rear brake mechanisms and premature wear of the rear tire treads, and may also cause malfunction of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) (see below). One of the possible causes of a gradual decrease in the brake fluid level is normal wear of the friction linings of the brake shoes. When the warning lamp comes on, the car should be driven to the nearest service station to assess the condition of the shoes and check the tightness of the hydraulic circuit of the brake system.
The control lamp also lights briefly when the ignition is turned on (even with the parking brake released).
ABS warning light
If the vehicle is equipped with this indicator lamp, it lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out immediately after the engine is started, thus confirming the proper functioning of the anti-lock brake system circuit. If the indicator lamp comes on in any other situation, it indicates that the self-diagnosis system has detected faults in the ABS circuit. The vehicle should be taken to the nearest service station without delay for a detailed diagnosis of the system and the necessary repairs.
Note: When the warning light comes on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled, but the vehicle's brakes continue to operate normally, providing adequate braking to the vehicle.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Warning Light
This indicator lamp lights up when the ignition is turned on and should go out immediately after the engine is started. If the lamp remains lit when the engine is running (in constant or flashing mode), this indicates a malfunction of the SRS system components. If equipped, the activation of this indicator lamp may indicate a malfunction in the side airbag circuits or the automatic emergency seat belt tensioners.
Cruise control indicator light
CRUISE If the vehicle is equipped accordingly, this indicator lamp lights up when the automatic cruise control system is switched on (tempostat) (see below).
Door Not Closing Warning Light
When this indicator light comes on, it warns the driver that not all of the vehicle's doors are closed tightly.
Direction indicator light
The indicator confirms the fact and proper functioning of the vehicle's turn signals and operates in a flashing mode with a frequency corresponding to the blinking frequency of the indicators. Rapid blinking of the indicator usually indicates that one of the turn signal lamps has burned out. The burned-out lamp should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid creating emergency situations on the roads.
Flashing of this indicator usually also accompanies the activation of the hazard warning lights.
Low Fuel Warning Light
This warning light comes on when there is less than 9.0 liters of fuel left in the fuel tank and warns the driver of the need to urgently refuel the vehicle.
Overdrive cut-off indicator lamp
O/D OFF
This indicator lamp comes on when the overdrive switch is moved to the OFF position.
Warning buzzer "Remove key from ignition switch"
The buzzer sounds when the driver's door of the car is opened with the key left in the ignition switch in the ACC or LOCK position.
Warning buzzer "Don't forget to turn off the headlights"
The buzzer sounds when the driver's door is opened with the headlights on.

After the battery is disconnected, the clock is automatically reset and must be adjusted.
Note: When the instrument panel lighting is turned off, the brightness of the clock indicator is reduced.
The clock display is also used to display the readings of the outside air temperature meter; the display mode switch is located on the left side of the clock assembly.
On-board processor display
If the vehicle is equipped accordingly, the on-board processor display is built into the tachometer dial. When the ignition is on, one of the possible display modes can be selected. The selected mode is indicated by a special cursor in the form of a triangle. The display can be used to display the time, outside air temperature, distance that can be traveled without refueling, length of the path traveled, travel time, average speed and average fuel consumption.
Switching between display modes is done using a special button.
The air temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. When the temperature drops below 3°C, the display automatically switches to thermometer mode, and its readings start flashing, attracting the driver's attention. By pressing the mode switch, the display returns to the original mode. At temperatures below 4°C, the thermometer cursor continues to flash continuously.
When the distance display mode is turned on, the display changes every 30 seconds. There is a function for automatically switching the display when the critical minimum fuel reserve is reached. The display readings also blink, attracting the driver's attention. The cursor will continue to blink until the car is refueled. If the fuel level decreases further, the display readings are reset to zero and the value "----" is displayed on the display.
When the distance display mode is turned on, the display can be reset by holding the switch for 1 second. At the same time, the trip time display will be reset (see below).
To reset the travel time, hold the switch button down for at least 1 second. The distance traveled is reset at the same time.
In the average fuel consumption mode, the display changes every 30 seconds. To reset the display, hold the switch button down for 10 seconds. During the first 500 meters of driving after resetting the display, the display will show "----".
In the average speed mode, the display will also change every 30 seconds. The display is reset by holding the switch button for a second.

Sun visors
Two folding sun visors are located above the upper edge of the windshield and serve to protect the eyes of the driver and front passenger from direct sunlight. If the rays fall from the front, the visor should simply be lowered by turning it downwards on the axial hinges. To protect against light falling from the side, the visor should be released from the inner hinge and turned towards the door. If necessary, the visor can be extended by pulling out an additional shield.
Attention! Pulling out the additional shield in the first position of the visor may result in the rear-view mirror being covered!
