Control equipment



Control equipment

1 - tachometer;
2 - electronic watch with a digital display or trip computer display;
3 - coolant temperature;
4 --reserve fuel;
5 - Display selector position;
6 - speedometer;
7 - meter track with service indicator

Location of control devices depend on the particular car model and engine type.

Tachometer (1)

Tachometer needle in any case should not go into the red zone of the scale.

Starting time of the red zone on the scale is dependent on the particular engine.

The early switch to a higher gear saves fuel and reduces noise of the engine and transmission.

Switch to a lower gear should be as late as possible, shortly before the time when there will be jerks in the engine.

Electronic clock with digital display (2)

To set the current time, you should use the button located on the right beneath the tachometer.

Turn the key counter-clockwise (arrow 1) to set the stop watch. With a single button, turning a short-term rearrangement of one hour. When you turn the key and hold it in this position there is a continuous rearrangement of hours.

Turn the knob clockwise (arrow 2) until it stops set minutes. With a single button, turning a short-term rearrangement of one minute. When you turn the key and hold it in this position there is a continuous rearrangement of minutes.

With this button you can set the clock with the second accuracy:

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Rotate button to the right (arrow 2) until such time until the clock will show the time one minute less than the reference clock.
2. Use immediately turn to the right when the second hand control hours with the exact course will reach a full minute.

Trip computer display (2)

The picture shows the display with trip computer display average specific fuel consumption.

Trip computer display (multi-pointer MFA), along with an indication of the current time even gives a lot more information:

- The temperature of outside air;
- Instantaneous fuel consumption;
- Average fuel consumption;
- Distance traveled;
- Average speed;
- Travel time.

Icon shows the currently parameter appears, except this time, at the upper limit of the display field.

Alternate removal more information on the display when the ignition is carried out by briefly pressing the key balancer B, located on the handle of the windscreen wiper.

If you click on the top face of the key, the testimony of various sizes will be replaced one after another.

If you click on the bottom button, the testimony of various sizes will be replaced one by one in reverse order.

STORAGE

A, B - keys

The onboard computer is equipped with two automatic drives.

The drive to store information for individual trips (MFA 1) accumulates in itself since power until the ignition is switched off following information about the trip: the movement, the distance traveled and the amount of fuel consumed.

On the basis of these data, calculate the average speed and average fuel consumption.

If within two hours after the ignition is switched off the car traffic was resumed, new data is added to the former and are included in the calculation of averages. At the break in driving lasting more than two hours, all the data in the drive will be deleted automatically.

The drive to store information on the total mileage (MFA 2) accumulates in the car all the data for any number of journeys until a totals value of 100 hours of driving 10,000 kilometers and 1,000 liters of fuel consumed. The accumulated data is used to calculate the results obtained for all trips Our average fuel consumption and speed.

When one of these limit values is exceeded, the data on the drive is erased and the total mileage countdown begins again. This drive, as opposed to the drive of the individual trip, do not erase the data after two hours of break in driving.

To request information should contact the appropriate drive by pressing the A key on the steering column switch wiper.

In the field of the clock with digital display appears the corresponding figure for the selected drive:

- MFA 1 - drive to store information on individual travel;
- MFA 2 - Drive to store information on the total mileage.

From drives, you can call the following indicators:

- The average fuel consumption;
- Distance traveled;
- Average speed;
- Driving.

The amount of fuel used is not shown.

If you hold down the key more than two seconds And, the data in the selected drive will be erased.

When disconnecting the battery contained in both drives is erased.

INDICATIONS

When the ignition is on or the display shows the last selected index or reading the outdoor temperature with a snowflake icon (warning the possibility of ice).

No icon
Current time
Display current time is saved when you turn off the ignition.
Setting the time it is done by turning the setting button beside the tachometer on the dashboard.
FROM
Outside air temperature
Reading range from 40 ?� C to + 58 ?� C. When the vehicle is stationary or moving at a very slow speed shown by the outdoor temperature may be somewhat higher than the true value because of the influence of the thermal radiation of the engine.
When the outside temperature is between + 4 ?� C to -7 ?� C in the display in addition to the value of the outside temperature is shown in the form of a snowflake icon (warning the possibility of ice).
This icon flashes for about 5 seconds and then lit until the outdoor temperature exceeds + 4 ?� C or falls below 7 ?� C.
When warning of icy pointer switches to the displayed indicator on the outside temperature reading (warning about the possibility of ice).
A warning

When you largest outdoor temperature to draw conclusions about the possibility of icing of the road, keep in mind that the ice on the road may occur at a temperature of about + 4 ?� C


Keystrokes on the steering column switch, you can switch back to the previous index display.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
Showing fuel currently in liters per 100 kilometers.
The calculation of the instantaneous fuel consumption is made through the 30 meters run. The vehicle is stationary holds the last reading of the instantaneous fuel consumption.
If you start the engine selected indicator instantaneous fuel consumption, the first 30-40 meters of motion will be shown the value of average fuel consumption.
With instantaneous fuel consumption readings can adjust your style of driving according to the desired fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption

Lights average specific fuel consumption and the fuel consumption amount is not currently.
This indicator is displayed starts immediately after coating tridtsatimetrovoy distance from the point where data has been erased in the appropriate drive. Prior to that, instead of numbers on the display shows dashes. During the movement of the displayed figure is updated every five seconds.
When the selected drive to store information for individual trips (MFA 1) the display shows the average fuel consumption for this trip.
When storage for storing information on the total mileage (MFA 2) the display shows the average fuel consumption of all recent trips.


A warning

The amount of fuel used is not shown.


Distance traveled
When the selected drive MFA 1 on the display running after ignition, or cleaning the drive.
When the selected drive MFA 2, the display shows the mileage on all individual journeys.
The maximum value that can be indicated is 9999 km. If the mileage exceeds this value, starting from zero.

Average speed
