Sequence of work
"Daily"
1. Coolant temperature gauge. With some exceptions (driving uphill with a trailer, low octane fuel) the arrow must be outside the red zone. Starting from +130°C, the coolant begins to boil.
2. Coolant level gauge. If the control lamp does not go out, the sensor in the expansion tank or the upper radiator tank has tripped. Need to add coolant (after pressure drop). If the lamp lights up again soon after, check the system for leaks or the corresponding sensor.
3. Ambient temperature gauge. The temperature is detected by a sensor located under the bumper and displayed in the instrument cluster. The readings depend on the speed of movement and the time since the engine was stopped. If the vehicle is stopped, the last reading is retained when the temperature rises. Indications begin to change only after a certain period of time. The temperature drop is reflected without delay.
4. Direction indicator lamp. Both pointers in the instrument cluster and the hazard warning switch lamp should flash simultaneously when the turn signal is turned on. When towing a trailer, the direction indicator lamp should also flash.
5. Signal lamp for ASR and ETS systems. The pointer on the speedometer should light up while driving only if the wheel slips on a slippery road.
6. Speedometer. A few meters after the start, the arrow should begin to move. There is no speedometer cable in this car.
7. Odometer and trip odometer. Both pointers should change readings while the car is moving. With the ignition on, to reset the daily mileage counter, press its button once, with the ignition off, twice.
8. Tachometer. The device shows the speed of the crankshaft of the engine. Pointer should be avoided in the red zone (exceeding the maximum frequency).
9. Digital Watch. Setting knob on the right in the instrument cluster.
10. High beam indicator. When signaling the high beam or when the high beam is on, the blue indicator should light up.
11. Oil gauge. If, with the engine running and the oil temperature over +60°C, the indicator with the oiler symbol lights up, the oil level has dropped to the lower mark on the dipstick.
12. Brake warning lamp. The red pointer with the symbol of the brake pads lights up when the parking brake is applied and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir is insufficient.
13. Washer fluid level indicator. Lights up when about 1 liter of liquid remains in the tank.
14. Brake pad wear indicator. Lights up when braking if the front brake pads are worn. On vehicles with the ASR system, wear sensors are also installed on the rear pads. If, as a result of pad wear, they touch the brake disc, the pointer receives a circuit closure to «mass».
15. Battery charging control lamp. After starting the engine, the lamp with the battery symbol should go out. Otherwise, the battery does not receive a charge or the alternator belt breaks. Stop the engine immediately if the lamp does not go out even when lightly depressing the accelerator pedal.
16. Control lamp of serviceability of external lighting. The yellow pointer with the lamp symbol lights up when the outside lighting is out of order. Stop and check, if necessary, replace the burnt out lamp.
17. SRS warning lamp. Should go out after testing the system when the ignition is turned on. Otherwise, there is a malfunction in the airbag and seat belt tensioners.
18. ABS, ASR, ETS control lamps. If the lamps are on when the car is moving, the corresponding system is out of order. Have the workshop diagnose the corresponding controller for fault codes and consult for repair.
19. Preheat indicator. When the ignition is switched on, the lamp stays on until the engine is ready to start. If the lamp does not light, the control indicator is faulty.
20. Rear defroster indicator. The switch lamp on the center console should light up when turned on.
21. Control lamp of back fog lamps. When the light switch is pulled out two positions, the orange lamp should light up in the middle.
22. Seat heating. The indicator lamps should come on when the system's on/off switch is turned on.
