Arrangement and functions of governing bodies

CARS WITH THE 5-DOOR BODY THE HATCHBACK

The control panel and the control panel a microclimate differ from shown on an illustration. All differences are in detail described below in appropriate sections.

Switches of electric window regulators are located in two places: in front of the handle of an armrest of a driver's door and on the central console about the lever of the parking brake.

On a control panel the set of indicators and signaling devices by means of which the driver receives important information on functioning of units and car systems is bred.

Check of serviceability of light signaling devices and indicators The most part of signaling devices and indicators should light up for short time at ignition inclusion (the ignition key will turn in situation III. It is provided for control of serviceability of signaling devices and indicators. If any signaling device or the indicator did not light up at ignition inclusion, you cannot receive in due time a signal about refusal or abnormal functioning of the corresponding unit or car system. At failure detection of a signaling device or the indicator it is necessary to replace a lamp or to carry out necessary repair.

Signaling device of pressure drop of oil in the engine

This signaling device should light up at ignition inclusion (a key will turn in situation II) and to die away after engine start. The signaling device should not burn at the working engine. If the signaling device started to blink, it indicates short-term sharp pressure drop in system of greasing of the engine then pressure of oil was restored to a normal amount. If in engine operating time the signaling device burns constantly, it testifies to emergency pressure decrease of oil to dangerous level. Serious damages and an engine exit out of operation are possible. In both cases (when the signaling device blinks or burns constantly) it is necessary to take urgent measures which are described below.

ATTENTION

Operation of the engine at low pressure in system of greasing leads practically at once to an engine exit out of operation because of serious mechanical damages of responsible details. Therefore at inclusion of a signaling device of emergency pressure drop of oil it is necessary to stop urgently and quickly to muffle the engine.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Curtail on a roadside or to the region of the carriageway, stop the car and switch off the engine. 2. Having waited one minute, open a cowl and check oil level in the engine. In spite of the fact that oil level in the engine and pressure in system of greasing directly are not connected with each other, short-term pressure decrease during car movement on turn or other sharp maneuvers can be caused by very low level of oil in the pallet of a case of the engine. 3. If necessary add oil in the engine and finish oil level to norm, being guided on labels on oil щупе, see. Head Routine maintenance. 4. Start the engine and watch a signaling device of emergency pressure drop of oil. If the signaling device did not go out within 10 seconds after engine start, switch off the engine. It testifies to existence of serious malfunctions of the engine without which elimination it is impossible to continue movement on the car under the own steam. (Address to Poddomkrachivaniye's Section and towage)

Signaling device of the category of the storage battery

This signaling device should light up at ignition inclusion (a key will turn in situation II) and to die away after engine start. If the signaling device joined at the working engine, it testifies to the termination of a charge of the storage battery from the generator.

At signaling device fire at once switch off everything consumers of electric energy: autoradio tape recorder, heater, heater of back glass, air conditioner, темпостат etc. Do not include electric window regulators, and also other drives and the devices consuming the electric power. Try to support steady operation of the engine that it did not decay. The subsequent start of the engine by a starter will lead to the strong additional category of the storage battery.

Having reduced in the greatest possible degree electric load of the storage battery, you can pass some more kilometers before the battery will be discharged so that cannot support normal operation of the engine. At inclusion of a signaling device of the category of the storage battery at once go on service station or to a workshop where to you will help to eliminate malfunction.

Signaling device of an open trunk lid

The signaling device joins at the open or leaky closed trunk lid.

Indicator of inclusion of a driving beam of headlights

The indicator lights up at the same time with inclusion of a driving beam of headlights. The description of the switch of lighting and the switch of light of headlights is provided further in this Section.

This signaling device lights up for some seconds at ignition inclusion (a key will turn in the ignition lock in situation II). If the signaling device joined in any other time, it testifies to possible malfunction of one of systems of decrease in toxicity of emissions in the atmosphere. Even if you do not notice any changes in operation of the engine and deterioration of dynamics of the car, malfunctions of these systems can become the reason of increase in fuel consumption and toxicity of the engine. Continuation of operation of the car with the included signaling device can lead to serious damages of the engine and its exit out of operation.

If the signaling device of malfunction of systems of the engine joined under way the car, stop in a safe place on a roadside of the road or at the region of the carriageway and switch off the engine. Then again start the engine and watch a signaling device. If the signaling device continues to burn, it is necessary to address urgently on service station for check and repair of systems of the engine. Before elimination of malfunctions of systems of the engine move on the car with moderate speed. Avoid sharp dispersals of the car by full pressing a pedal of an accelerator and do not move on high speed.

Even if the signaling device of malfunction of systems of the engine dies away after switching off and engine restart. You should address on service station in that case when signaling device inclusion under way the car happens rather often.

Continuation of operation of the car with the included signaling device of malfunction of systems of the engine can lead to serious damages of the catalytic converter of the fulfilled gases or the engine. On the defects which have arisen because of operation of the car with the included signaling device of malfunction of systems of the engine, guarantee certificates do not extend.

Indicator of inclusion lay brake/signalling device of falling of level of brake liquid

The indicator carries out two functions.

1. The indicator burns at the switched-on parking brake. On some updatings of the car the indicator also lights up at starter inclusion (the ignition key will turn in situation III) and the switched-off parking brake. Movement with the switched-on parking brake leads to an overheat and failure of brake mechanisms of back wheels, fast wear of tires, and also can become the reason of shutdown of anti-blocking brake system.
2. If a signaling device it is necessary to burn after switching off of the parking brake or lit up during car movement, it can testify to falling of level of working liquid in the tank of the main brake cylinder. One of the reasons of gradual decrease in level of brake liquid in the tank is normal operational wear of brake shoes. At signaling device inclusion you should check a condition of brake shoes and tightness of a hydraulic drive of brakes.

Indicators of inclusion of indexes of turn work at the same time with the corresponding lamps of indexes of turn. The direction of arrows of indicators shows the direction of turn or lane change. If indicators do not blink or blink with the increased frequency, it, as a rule, indicates peregorany lamps in one of lamps of indexes of turn. Replace fused lamp at the first possibility as other participants of traffic cannot see your signals about change of the direction of movement. Idle indexes of turn can become the road accident reason. There are two types of systems of the alarm system. Your car is equipped with system of the alarm system which meets requirements of the standards operating in your country. One type of system provides simultaneous turning on of indicators of indexes of turn (located on a control panel) and all lamps of indexes of turn. The system of the alarm system of the second type in addition turns on the indicator of the alarm system which is located on a control panel.

The signaling device lights up at ignition inclusion (the ignition key will turn in situation II). It reminds the driver and passengers of need to fasten seat belts. Besides, if you did not fasten the seat belt, the sound signaling device in addition will join. The sound signaling device of not fastened seat belt will be switched off in some seconds, and the light signaling device will continue to burn until you will not fasten a belt. Signaling devices do not join, if you fastened the seat belt before ignition inclusion.

The signaling device should light up for some seconds at ignition or starter inclusion (the ignition key will turn respectively in situation II or III). Signaling device inclusion in any other conditions indicates malfunction in anti-blocking system. If the signaling device lit up under way the car, stop in a safe place and switch off the engine. Try to eliminate possible failure in system, having restarted the engine.

After start of the engine check a signaling device condition. If it was not switched off or again lit up during car movement, it is necessary to address on HUNDRED for diagnostics and ABS repair. At the included signaling device of malfunction of ABS the working brake system of the car remains quite efficient, however ABS will not work.

The signaling device is intended for the prevention of the driver of possible refusal of additional system of safety.
If:

• The signaling device does not light up at ignition inclusion (the ignition key will turn in situation II);
• The signaling device continues to burn after engine start;
• The signaling device joined and burns in a constant or blinking mode under way the car – diagnostics and system repair is necessary.

The ECONO indicator helps the driver to improve fuel profitability of the car. The indicator turns on, if the engine of the car works at the most favorable from the point of view of fuel consumption modes.

The indicator should light up for some seconds at ignition inclusion (the ignition key will turn in situation II). The indicator remains included until the engine continues to work economically. At an engine deviation from the most economic mode and increase in fuel consumption the indicator is switched off. If the control lever a transmission is in the first or second situation, the ECONO indicator does not turn on at all (an exception car updatings with a besstupenchaty variator make). With a besstupenchaty variator the indicator does not work at cars at inclusion of ranges 2 or L (6-band option of transmission) or if at the included range of D the dynamic mode (S) of management is chosen as transmission (5-band option of transmission).

Besides, the ECONO indicator does not work at speed of movement of the car less than 20 km/h and at not heated-up engine to normal working temperature.

Inclusion of a signaling device means that in a tank there were less than 6.5 l of gasoline. It is necessary for you to fill a fuel tank urgently.

The indicator of the anti-theft device (immobilizer) (for some car updating)

The indicator should light up for some seconds at ignition inclusion (the ignition key will turn in situation II). After a key vynimaniye from the ignition lock the indicator of an immobilizer blinks within several seconds and then dies away. If the improper key is inserted into the lock of ignition, the indicator of an immobilizer starts to blink. Thus the anti-theft device blocks engine start. If the indicator of an immobilizer blinks, to start the engine it is impossible.

Speedometer

The speedometer shows speed of movement of the car. The scale of a speedometer can be проградуирована in km/h or at the same time in km/h and miles/h depending on option of execution of the device. On some updatings of the car inclusion of a sound warning signal if speed of movement exceeds 120 km/h is provided.

Tachometer (separate models)

The tachometer shows frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft of the engine. A tachometer scale проградуирована in terms of rpm. In order to avoid an engine exit out of operation it is not necessary to exceed the most admissible frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft (the arrow of a tachometer should not come into a red zone of a scale).

Counter of the general run

The counter shows the general run of the car (in kilometers or miles depending on option of execution of the device).

Run measuring instrument from the moment of dumping

The device reflects car run from the moment of the last zeroing of indications (in kilometers or miles depending on execution option). To null indications of a measuring instrument of run and to reckon run anew, it is necessary to press the dumping button.

Index of temperature of the engine

The device shows temperature of cooling liquid of the engine. The normal working temperature of the engine at car operation in usual conditions corresponds to the average provision of an arrow of the index. In very hot weather or at car movement on long lifting of the shooter of the index can rise to a blue label on a scale. If the temperature of the engine increased so that the arrow of the index is on a red label (N) of a scale, it is necessary to stop immediately the car and to find out the reason of an overheat of the engine.

The index of a stock of fuel in a tank

The device shows relative amount of fuel in a tank. The index works with the minimum error if the car is on an equal horizontal platform. At car movement on twisting or hilly roads the error of the device increases.

If to switch off ignition, the arrow of the index of level of fuel will remain on a place. After filling of a fuel tank and inclusion of ignition of the shooter of the index will gradually pass to the new situation corresponding to the actual amount of fuel in a tank. As soon as the arrow of the index will fall to the label “Е” (An empty tank), it is necessary to fill a fuel tank urgently.
