Turn signal lamps
When the direction indicators are turned on, the control lamp flashes.
If any of the direction indicator lamps is faulty or burned out, the control lamp starts flashing twice as often. This principle of operation of the warning lamp does not apply to trailer direction indicators.
Generator
The control lamp lights up at the same time as the ignition is switched on. After starting the engine, it should go out.
If the control lamp lights up while driving - immediately stop the car, turn off the engine, check the condition of the alternator V-belt.
If it is torn, you can safely continue driving to the nearest service station. The engine cooling system pump operates offline.
At the same time, try to turn off all unnecessary consumers of electricity, as the recharge of the battery has stopped and it may be discharged.
If the control lamp lights up, and the V-belt is not damaged, seek help from specialists, because the process of recharging the battery is disrupted for some reason.
Trailer turn signal lamps
The indicator lamp starts flashing at the same time as the trailer's direction indicators come on. Stops flashing if any of the trailer turn signal bulbs is faulty.
Engine electronics
The control lamp lights up right after inclusion of ignition. As soon as the engine starts, it turns off.
If this does not happen, or it lights up while driving, then there is a malfunction in the electronic system of the engine.
The control lamp also lights up when refueling with the wrong type of fuel or with a low octane number. It will turn off when the load on the engine is reduced.
If the lamp does not go out or lights up again, you should drive at a low speed to the service station and seek help from specialists.
Pre-glow device (diesel only)
When starting a cold engine, the control lamp lights up at the same time as the ignition is switched on.
If the lamp does not light up, then the preheater is defective. Need help from experts.
As soon as it goes out, immediately start the engine. When starting a hot engine, the control lamp does not light up - the engine can be started immediately.
ABS system
The control lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on. Goes out after starting the engine, when the generator control lamp goes out and the self-diagnosis cycle is completed.
If, for vehicles with all-wheel drive, the rear axle differential lock is on at this time, it will go out only after the lock is released.
If the control lamp does not go out or lights up while driving, when the differential lock is on, and the lock itself has not yet occurred, try pressing the system power button again.
If this time the lamp does not go out, then the ABS is faulty. The braking of the vehicle in this case can only be carried out through a conventional braking system. It is necessary to seek help from a service station as soon as possible.
High beam
The control lamp lights up at inclusion of a high beam or the light alarm system and a siren.
Oil pressure
For modifications without an auto-control system (Auto-Check-System) the lamp lights up immediately after the ignition is turned on. As soon as the engine starts, it turns off.
If this does not happen or it lights up while driving at an engine speed of 2000 rpm and at the same time appears uncharacteristic for normal operating mode inytyi - stop the car, turn off the engine, check the oil level, top up if necessary.
If after that the lamp does not go out, do not resume the movement. The engine should not run even at idle. The help of experts is required.
Note: This lamp monitors pressure, not oil level. Modifications with an auto-control system do not have this lamp.
Coolant temperature/level
The control lamp flashes for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on. Functional control mode of the system.
If the lamp does not go out after starting the engine or starts flashing while driving, which means one of two things:
- Coolant temperature too high
- Coolant level critically low
In any case, stop immediately, turn off the engine and check the coolant level. Top up if necessary.
Caution: Danger of scalding! When the engine is hot, the fluid in the cooling system is under pressure. Therefore, before unscrewing the plug of the expansion tank, wait a bit, let the engine cool down.
Do not touch the electric fan! At any time, it can spontaneously turn on, even with the ignition off.
If the coolant level is normal, the fan fuse may have blown. Check, if necessary - replace it.
If in this case the lamp does not go out, you cannot continue driving. The help of experts is required.
In the event that the alleged cause of the malfunction is in the fan, and the coolant level is normal and the control lamp goes out, you can go to the nearest service station on your own. However, due to the fact that airflow is required to cool the radiator, drive fast and avoid idling the engine.
Parking brake
The control lamp lights up at the included ignition after a tightening of a parking brake. After the brake is released, it goes out.
Alarm
Brake system
The control lamp starts flashing after the ignition is switched on. System self-diagnosis mode.
If the lamp stops flashing and stays on, this is a signal of a critically low brake fluid level. The lamp only works when the ignition is on. If it does not go out or, on the contrary, lights up while driving, this means that the level of brake fluid in the expansion tank is below normal. If, in addition, there is an unusual free play of the brake pedal, the brake cylinders may be faulty.
Battery voltage is abnormal
Contact a workshop and check the tension of the V-belt or the condition of the battery.
Fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir
Add water to the tank.
Fuel reserve
The fuel tank is running out of fuel. See section "Refueling".
