2751528 - E4010 INSTRUMENT PANEL - Description
Description
The instrument panel displays the car's
operating parameters, and informs the driver of possible faults
to the on-board electronic systems.The main functions carried out by
the instrument panel may be listed below:
- electronic speedometer
- electronic rev counter
- fuel level (with low fuel level warning light)
- coolant temperature (with overheating warning light)
- various visual indications (faults, devices switched on,
etc.)
The instrument panel comprises an
LCD display for displaying the following information:
- date
- trip computer data (processed by the instrument panel);
- set-up menu with relevant messages for settings/adjustments;
- messages on activation of functions / service / fault
/ warning;

The planned maintenance function which signals
the need to have the vehicle serviced when the distance or time
parameters are approaching the recommended interval for the type
of engine and type of use. The instrument panel is lit up by using
high-performance LEDs, and is activated when it receives the side
lights on signal. No other illumination control logic is active
on the panel, while the background of the odometer display is automatically
lit when the ignition is switched on.The instrument panel control unit switches
the warning lights on or off via the commands taken directly from
the sensors or components connected to the control unit via the
CAN network.If a fault arises, the warning lights come
on in accordance with the envisaged logics; some warning lights
come on even when the ignition is on for a period not over four
seconds, to indicate the check status of the systems connected to
them.The instrument panel also has some intelligent
warning lights which are used for the Air Bag system failure warning
light and for signalling an engine system failure.
The direct battery supply and ignition-dependent
supply is provided by the engine compartment junction unit and the
junction unit under the dashboard
