3234363 - E4023 DASHBOARD CENTRE AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT() - Description

Description

The module in the centre of the dashboard includes the:

  • fuel gauge, with reserve warning light
  • engine coolant temperature gauge, with maximum temperature warning light
  • analogue clock.
The fuel level is displayed via electronic circuitry inside the module, which operates the gauge and the reserve warning light (about 7 litres) and "dampens" the signal preventing fluctuations.During starting, when the ignition is turned on, the warning light comes on for about 4 seconds as a self-test, then goes out. If it flashes and stays on, a fault has been detected in the connection or the level gauge.The coolant temperature gauge is controlled directly by a sensor on the engine. The maximum temperature warning light is controlled by a sensor on the engine with another signal, independent of the gauge, or by the engine control unit.During starting, when the ignition is turned on, the maximum temperature warning light comes on for about 4 seconds as a self-test, then goes out.The analogue clock consists of a face with hour and minute hands. It is electronic with a quartz oscillator. It is adjusted by means of a button inside the dial.The centre instrument operates when the ignition is switched ON. In the "night" position (side lights on), the brightness can be adjusted to three levels by an external button. (  See E2530  INSTRUMENT LIGHTING ).
