The combination of instruments, meters, warning lights and indicator lights

The instrument cluster (petrol models)

Backlighting is activated when the running lights. Adjusting the intensity of illumination of devices manufactured using a handle located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. Click on the handle so that it pops out of the wall panel, and turn it in the desired direction to adjust the intensity of the backlight. Having finished adjustment, drown the handle to prevent accidental rotation thereof.

Control for adjusting the intensity of the instrument lighting

Test and Measurement

Speedometer

Speedometer is located in the center of the instrument cluster and indicates the vehicle speed in km / h (miles / hour).

The dial is mounted speedometer and odometer counter current path.

Odometer and counter current path

The odometer records the total mileage of the vehicle from the time it is put into operation.

Resets the counter current path allows you to monitor a particular trip mileage of the car (since the last reset). Reset the counter by pressing the corresponding button located on the bottom right of the speedometer dial.

Tachometer

The tachometer is placed on the left of the speedometer and shows the frequency of engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute - meter reading should be multiplied by 1000.

The tachometer is designed to monitor the engine speed when shifting gears (Manual transmission model). In addition, good attitude to the use of the device allows you to avoid dangerous increase / decrease engine speed. Try to avoid contact with the arrows in the highlighted in red range of the meter.

Tachometer needle may be slightly jerky when you turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position with the engine running, it is not a malfunction and should not cause concern.

Pointer stock of fuel / coolant temperature

Combined dial indicator supply of fuel and coolant temperature is placed on the right side of the instrument cluster and is used for visual monitoring of the stock remaining in the fuel tank (left meter) and the engine coolant temperature (right meter).

Error reading pointer stock of fuel is minimal when the car occupies strictly horizontal position, and increases when driving on winding or hilly roads. Operation of the pointer does not depend on the position of the ignition key. Tag F corresponds to a state of complete filling, E - an empty tank. When the tank is about 10 liters of fuel, it activates the appropriate built in in the lower field of the instrument cluster indicator lamp.

Coolant temperature gauge operates only when the ignition is switched on. Move the arrow pointer to the level H indicates a dangerous overheating of the motor - in this case, you should stop moving, turn off the K / B (if it was enabled) and wait for the cooling of the engine. Check the coolant level, look at the components of the cooling system for signs of leaks, if necessary, make appropriate corrections / top up the coolant. If you identify the cause of the overheating alone fails, the car should be driven away to the service station for a more detailed inspection and reconditioning.

Warning lights and indicator lights

The assembly dash car built a whole complex of control lamps and light indicators (see. Illustration Arrangement of the controls on the dashboard and center console), with which the driver receives important information about serviceability / infringement of functioning of the basic units and car systems.

Some warning lights are integrated in the corresponding switch on the dashboard and center console of the car.

When the ignition is compulsorily activated, confirming serviceability of its state oil pressure warning lamp, charge, "Buckle up", the braking system, MIL (?�Check up the engine?�), ABS and SRS, and the last two are extinguished after a few seconds. Other bulbs / lamps are activated only when the corresponding locking system of the car under control of its critical parameter.

After the engine is started when shutting down an additional system in the instrument cluster will illuminate a warning lamp "Buckle up" (as long as the driver's seat belt is not fastened) and the braking system (if cocked the parking brake or the brake fluid level in the reservoir GTZ down below the critical level).

Failure of any of the above lamp off from a malfunction in the respective controlled system (grease charge braking, ABS, motor control).

Below is a list and description embedded in the instrument cluster warning lights and indicator lights.

- Light indicators of indexes of turns and the alarm system.

Doubling the frequency response indicators usually indicates a failure of one or more lamps from the turn signal.

- The indicator light activation Tempostat. Used models appropriate configuration is activated when the speed control system and goes out when it is turned off in any way (see. Some of Receptions of operation and auxiliary systems).

- The indicator light activation of all-wheel drive (4WD) mode - confirms input in gearing transfer case. Lights up when 4H and 4L modes of transfer case and off when you return the handle switch to "2H".

- Indicator light anti-lock braking system (ABS). Momentarily activated when the ignition switch and extinguished after a few seconds after the engine starts. Refusal of a lamp of the trip, as well as its activation during movement testifies to infringement of serviceability of functioning ABS, - the car should immediately drive away in the workshop of the company KIA for diagnosis and performing necessary reconditioning.

When the warning lamp anti-lock brakes will not operate, the brake system continues to function normally.

- This indicator light is only available on models with AT and serves to confirm the switching of transmission on hold (HOLD) (see. Some of Receptions of operation and auxiliary systems).

- Indicator activate Sport mode AT.

Activation of HOLD mode leads to an automatic transmission output from the sports mode to disconnect the corresponding indicator.

- The control lamp of pressure of motor oil. The refusal of the lamp from the last shutdown of the engine start, as well as its activation during movement demonstrate the dangerous pressure drop of motor oil. You should immediately stop moving and stop the engine. Check motor oil level, if necessary, make appropriate adjustment. If the warning light is activated when the oil level is normal, the car should be driven away to the service station for a more detailed diagnosis and performing necessary reconditioning.

- Charge indicator lamp. It is activated when the ignition switch and extinguished after a few seconds after the engine starts. Failure of the lamp off and activating it during movement ?� indicate the presence of a fault in the system charge - check the tension of the drive belt of the generator, if necessary, make appropriate adjustment. If the belt in order to drive away the car should be in the workshop to identify and eliminate the cause of failure.

By means of the generator drive belt and water pump, which is why it is associated with the weakening of the danger of overheating the motor!

- The indicator lamp "Buckle Up" reminds the driver to fasten the seat belt. The lamp is activated when the ignition is switched on and stays on as long as there is no seat belt buckle latched driver's seat.

During the first few seconds after the ignition is switched on the need to fasten the seat belts will be further reminded the gong.

- Indicator light low brake fluid level and the brake system failures / cocking indicator of the parking brake. It is activated when the ignition should be extinguished after the engine is started under the condition that the parking brake is released. In case of refusal from the lamp off and when activated it while driving should stop and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir of GTZ, and carefully inspect the components of a hydraulic path of brake system for leaks. If necessary, eliminate the causes of leaks and top up with fresh liquid to the reservoir.

The movement of a car with a faulty braking system in any case is not admissible!

- Indicator light of the minimum fuel reserve. Indicates a decreased level of fuel in the tank to a minimum (less than 10 L) and recalls the need for refueling.

- The indicator lamp leaky closing of doors. Activated in any position of the ignition switch, as well as in the key is removed and serves to prevent a leaky closing one or more of the vehicle doors.

- This indicator light is used to confirm the activation of main beam.

- Shift lever indicator AT (?�P?�, ?�R?�, ?�N?�, ?�D?�, ?�2?� or ?�L?�) are used only on models with AT and built into the lower part of the dial indicator fuel and engine temperature.

- Indicator activate the rear window defogger.

Heated glass automatically turns off the timer signal after about 15 minutes of continuous operation of the heating element, and when the key is removed from the ignition.

- The control lamp of refusals (MIL / ?�Check engine") is activated when the ignition switch and extinguished after a few seconds after the engine starts. Refusal of a lamp of the trip, as well as its activation during movement testifies to infringement of serviceability of functioning of the engine management system with a record of the relevant DTC is in the memory of the processor system board self-diagnostics (OBD).

Clearing memory OBD can be performed by disconnecting the negative cable from the battery for at least 30 seconds - the lamp should go out.

- The indicator lamp systems of additional safety (SRS). Momentarily activated when the ignition switch and extinguished immediately after the engine starts. Refusal of a lamp of the trip, as well as its activation during movement testifies to infringement of serviceability status of any of the components of the SRS. Serviceability deployment of the airbags and belt tensioners emergency in an emergency When the control lamp can not be guaranteed, - the car should be at the first opportunity to drive away in the workshop for the necessary diagnosis of the corresponding regenerative repair.

Audible

Sound indicator used (alarm gong) in the following cases:

• If you are not wearing a seat belt driver's seat - when the ignition is activated gong for about 6 seconds;
• When you open the driver's door if the key is left in the ignition;
• When you open the driver's door if left on the outside lighting.
