The arrangement of devices on different models may be different.
- 1 - Speedometer with digital distance meter
- 2 - Tachometer or clock
- 3 - digital clock or multifunction indicator
- 4 - Coolant temperature gauge
- 5 - Gauge of fuel level in the tank
1 - Speedometer
Pay special attention to the speedometer readings during the break-in of the car.
Distance counter. The upper dial indicates the total mileage of the car, and the lower counter - the so-called. "day" mileage. The minimum indication of the lower counter is -100 m. Counter "day run" reset by pressing the button on the speedometer. On devices with an electronic speedometer, the button must be held for more than 2 seconds.
2 - Tachometer
When the engine is running, the tachometer needle should never reach the red zone of the scale.
The area of the scale shaded with red lines, which is located in front of the red zone on some models, shows the maximum allowable short-term speed for a warm and run-in engine. However, when the arrow reaches this zone, it is recommended to shift to a higher gear or release the gas.
Timely shifting to the next gear saves fuel and reduces engine noise. Shift to a lower gear if the engine does not cope with work (that is, its speed drops when the gas pedal is fully depressed).
During engine break-in, avoid high RPMs.
2 - Clock
To set the clock hands, press the button on the lower right on the instrument panel (You can use a ballpoint pen for this):
- With a short press, you can move the clock forward by a minute.
- With a long press, there is an accelerated translation of the time.
- To set the clock to the nearest second, press the button and set the time one minute less than desired. Then briefly press the button at the moment when the second hand of the running clock has reached the required reading or a signal has sounded on the radio.
3 - Digital clock
To set the time on the instrument panel at the bottom left there are two buttons. top button (h) clock is set, lower (min) - minutes.
- Short press (you can use a ballpoint pen) you can set the clock forward one hour or one minute.
- With a long press, there is an accelerated conversion of hours and minutes.
- With the button for setting the minutes, you can set the hour to the nearest second - to do this, press the button and set the time one minute less than you need.
- Briefly press the button at the moment when the radio signal sounds.
3 - Multifunction indicator
The multifunctional indicator, along with the clock, can perform a number of additional informational functions, that is, show:
- Travel time
- Average fuel consumption
- Distance traveled
- average speed
- Engine oil temperature
- outside temperature (1)
(1) In cars with artificial microclimate installation (air conditioned) the outside temperature is shown by the instruments and not by the multifunction display.
Switching functions is carried out by briefly pressing button B on the wiper / washer control knob with the ignition on.
The symbol of the enabled function, except for the time, appears on the indicator at the top (the figure shows the average fuel consumption data).
When the button is pressed again, the additional functions of the indicator change in turn.
If button B is pressed for more than 1 second, the indicator switches to clock mode.
Multifunction indicator counters
The unit is equipped with two automatic meters (total and "daytime").
"Day" the counter counts the time of movement, the distance traveled and the fuel consumption from the moment the ignition is turned on until the ignition is turned off. Based on these data, the average speed and average fuel consumption per trip are calculated (per day).
If the movement continues (re-ignition) within two hours after turning off the engine, the new values are added to the existing ones. A pause of more than 2 hours automatically resets the counter.
The total counter collects data on all trips with a total duration of up to 100 hours at a distance of up to 10,000 km with a fuel consumption of up to 1000 liters. This data is used to calculate the average speed and fuel consumption over a long period of time.
If one of the above values is exceeded (time, mileage or fuel consumption), the counter is reset and the calculation is restarted.
Switching counters for reading data is carried out by switch A on the wiper control handle:
- 1 - "Day" counter;
- 2 - Total counter.
Reset counters. Both counters can be reset individually with the ignition on - to do this, switch A must be held in position 0 on the corresponding side for more than 1 second.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected, both counters are reset.
Indicator functions
When the ignition is switched on, the symbol appears on the indicator "MFA 1" or "MFA 2", depending on which counter is enabled.
In clock mode, the indicator does not show additional characters (The time is displayed even when the ignition is off). The exact time is set by pressing the buttons (h and min) bottom left on the instrument panel - see chapter "digital clock".
Movement time - the indicator shows a symbol of a clock with arrows.
In position 1 of switch A shows the driving time that has elapsed since the ignition was switched on or the counter was reset - see above.
In position 2 of switch A the total driving time of the vehicle is shown - see above.
The maximum reading of both counters is 99 hours 59 minutes. If this value is exceeded, the count starts again.
Average fuel consumption - the inscription is visible on the indicator "1/100 km"
Shows the average fuel consumption for the period of time counted by the meter turned on at that moment (not the instantaneous value at the time of reading).
The average fuel consumption is displayed if a distance of at least 100 m has been covered since the start of the countdown. Until this moment, dashes are visible instead of values. Update while driving (calculation) average fuel consumption occurs every 5 seconds.
The distance traveled - the inscription is visible on the indicator"km". The distance counted by the corresponding counter is shown (see above - "travel time"). The maximum mileage value can be 9999 km.
Average speed - the inscription is visible on the indicator "km/h". The average speed for the period counted by the counter turned on at this moment is shown (and not the instantaneous value of the speed at the time of reading). The calculation is made at the same frequency as the fuel consumption calculation (see above).
The engine oil temperature on the indicator shows the image of the oiler and°C. The engine oil temperature is displayed in the range from +50°С to +160°С. As long as strokes are displayed instead of values, the engine is not warmed up, and it should not be given a large load. If the temperature rises to 145°C, reduce the load on the engine (reduce the number of revolutions).
Outside temperature - the display shows the symbol of the sun and°C (1). Measurement range from -40°С to +50°С. If the vehicle is stationary or the speed is very low, the temperature reading may be higher than the true temperature due to heating of the sensitive temperature sensor from the engine.
After turning off the ignition, the last temperature readings remain in the memory for 45 minutes. If the ignition is switched on after 45 minutes, or the vehicle is moving at 30 km/h during this time, the temperature reading is updated.
Attention: If you use the readings of the outside temperature indicator to determine the condition of the road, remember that even at temperatures above 0°C there may be ice.
(1) In cars with artificial microclimate installation (air conditioned) the outside temperature is shown by the instruments and not by the multifunction display.
4 - Coolant temperature gauge
The device works with the ignition on. However, after turning on the ignition, it takes some time for the arrow to reach the desired position. When the ignition is switched on, the control lamp flashes for a few seconds (With).
Scale zone "A" - Low temperature. Avoid high speeds and do not give the engine a heavy load!
Scale zone "b" - Normal temperature. During normal driving, the arrow should be in the middle of the scale; with a heavy engine load and high external temperature, the arrow may move upward - this is safe as long as the control light does not flash (With).
"With" - Control lamp for overheating / lack of coolant. If the warning light flashes while driving, check the coolant temperature gauge.
If the needle is in the normal temperature range, add coolant as soon as possible. If the needle is in the upper zone of the scale, the coolant temperature is too high. Stop, turn off the engine and determine the cause of overheating.
Notes: Additional headlights in front of the radiator grill impair the cooling effect of the oncoming air flow. If the outside temperature is high and the load is high, the motor may overheat for this reason.
Notes: Front spoiler (cowl) also serves to properly direct the air flow to the radiator. If the spoiler is damaged or torn off, this can also lead to overheating of the engine - in this case, contact the repair service.
5 - Fuel gauge
The device works with the ignition on. However, after turning on the ignition, it takes some time for the arrow to reach the desired position. The fuel tank holds 70 liters of fuel. If the pointer arrow reaches the reserve zone (shown by the arrow in the figure), this means that there are 10 liters of fuel left.
