3234367 - 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 another signal, independent of the gauge
signal, which comes from 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. (
