Thus, it detects malfunctions, warns about them and thereby helps to prevent serious consequences.
The system monitors the operation constantly, and not only after the ignition is switched on.
If a red flashing symbol of a function appears and a three-time beep sounds, this is a danger warning. It is necessary to immediately stop the machine, find and eliminate the defect, if necessary, contact the specialists.
Symbols with a yellow background and a one-time beep are warning symbols and indicate that the specified System Function requires immediate maintenance.
However, if a malfunction is detected after the ignition is switched on or while driving, the warning symbol for this function will remain lit until the malfunction is corrected.
If the computer simultaneously detects several damages of a dangerous nature at once, the symbol of the malfunction that was detected first will be displayed on the display. After it is eliminated, the next character is displayed, and so on.
Symbolic signs of defects of a warning nature are displayed in turn one after another with an interval of about 1 second.
Checking system readiness for operation
Self-diagnosis mode
After turning on the ignition, with the engine off or in motion, but at a speed of not more than 5 km / h - briefly press the button indicated by the arrow in the figure - the control lamps will light up one by one on the display "Auto-Check-System".
The same button adjusts the intensity of the instrument panel backlight. The inscription is displayed first "BREMSLICHT" (Stop signal), which goes out immediately after pressing the brake pedal. On some modifications, instead of this inscription, the symbol is displayed on the display - .
If there are no faults in the checked vehicle systems, the display will show the inscription "OK" (Everything is fine).
If the word " BREMSLICHT" "Stop signal" continues to remain on the screen and is not removed - this means - you need to check:
- stop lamps,
- circuit breakers,
- brake light switches,
- wiring for this circuit.
And - the wiring of this circuit. If after pressing the brake pedal the inscription "BREMSLICHT" will disappear and the word will not appear instead "OK" or a symbol of a defect of some function - it is necessary to check the serviceability of the automatic control system itself.
If defects are detected, an acoustic signal will sound and one of the following symbols will be displayed on the display:
Brake system malfunction
This warning light comes on when the brake fluid level is critically low.
If, in addition, an unusual free play of the brake pedal is observed, one of the brake circuits may have failed.
In this case, you can carefully continue driving on your own to the nearest service station, while taking into account the need for additional physical effort on the brake pedal and the factor of increasing the stopping distance of the car.
Oil pressure
When this symbol appears, stop the machine immediately, turn off the engine, check the engine oil level, top up if necessary.
If after that the symbol does not go out, you cannot continue moving. The engine should not run even at idle. The help of experts is required.
Note: Remember that this is a symbol for oil pressure control, not oil level.
Temperature/cooling level liquids
If this symbol is displayed on the screen while driving, it means one of two things:
- coolant temperature fluid too high
- coolant level fluid critically low.
Stop immediately, turn off the engine and check the coolant level.
Attention: Do not touch the electric fan! At any time, it can spontaneously turn on, even with the ignition off.
If the symbol continues to glow, and the coolant level is normal, you cannot continue driving. The help of experts is required.
If the alleged cause of the malfunction is in the fan, and the coolant level is normal and the temperature control lamp goes out, you can continue driving 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.
Malfunction of low beam or reversing lamps
Possible malfunction:
- lamps,
- fuses,
- wiring.
Check, replace or repair.
