Description

The role of the control panel is to display vehicle operating parameters and to notify the driver of any possible faults in the on-board electronic systems.The main functions performed by the instrument panel are listed below:
  • electronic speedometer and basic version speedometer repetition unit with a speedometer output.
  • mileometer/trip counter
  • electronic rev counter
  • engine coolant temperature gauge with overheating warning light;
  • fuel level gauge with reserve warning light and signal repetition unit
  • various warning lights (fault, activation etc.)

  • panel lighting and fixed graphics with lights on
  • automatic transmission failure and speed engaged warning light for vehicles with automatic transmission
  • clock function with hour and minute regulation
  • engine oil level (only for optional versions)
  • services.
The control panel is lit by high-efficiency leds and is activated when it receives a side-light on signal. No other lighting control strategy is active on the panel while the mileometer display is automatically back-lit when the key is turned on.The servicing function lets the user know when the vehicle is ready for service when the distance or time parameters approach the deadline set for the engine and application type.The instrument panel control unit turns the warning lights on or off by means of commands downloaded directly from sensors of components connected to the control unit.When a fault occurs, the warning lights come on in accordance with a planned strategy. Some warning lights also come on with the key ON for a period no longer than four seconds to indicate the check status of the system to which they are connected.The control panel is also equipped with some smart warning lights that are used for the air bag system fault warning light and ABS warning lightThe direct battery power supply is supplied from the control panel. The entire system is protected by dedicated fuses housed in the engine bay and under-facia junction units.
