1, basic vehicle condition warning sign
The most common and commonly used icons are: door prompt, handbrake prompt, seat belt prompt, engine self-check, lubricating oil condition check, ABS system check, airbag check, battery prompt and fuel quantity prompt.
In addition, there are some signs produced by the design of the dashboard of related vehicles, such as the water temperature display sign. On vehicles without water temperature meters, such as Beijing Hyundai Elantra, Dongfeng Nissan Converse and Great Wall Cool Bear (or M2), these signs play a role in showing whether the water temperature of vehicles is normal. Generally, blue and green indicate that the water temperature is low, red indicates that the water temperature is high, and no color indicates that the water temperature is suitable.
Just now, when talking about common signs, I mentioned that seat belts are not marked. Some models with high safety requirements, such as Dongfeng Peugeot 408, will remind people in the main and co-pilot positions whether their seat belts are fastened.
The basic information of the vehicle shows that the abnormal lighting of the sign may represent the fault sign and possible fault conditions. The handbrake indicates that the handbrake has not been put down; Brake pads/discs are worn to the limit. Engine self-check fuel system failure; Ignition system failure; Discharge system fault lubricating oil inspection lubrication system fault ABS system detection ABS sensor fault airbag detection airbag sensor fault battery detection battery dead; The battery system fault water thermometer shows red indicating that the water temperature is too high; Power assist system The steering power assist system is out of order because the blue-green water temperature is too low.
2, lighting information prompt signs
In the dashboard, besides some signs about vehicle safety just now, there is another part that is very important. Its existence is related to the safety of our driving, that is, the light warning sign. However, we also need to remind you that if you see the lights on the dashboard are on, the corresponding lights may not be on for some reason. Therefore, it is necessary for riders to check whether the lights are normal during the use of the vehicle, especially when driving at night. Incorrect use of lighting will have hidden dangers of traffic accidents.
Speaking of this, please also ask your car owners to use the vehicle lights correctly at the right time, such as driving the lights at night; Try not to turn on the high beam for a long time, especially when there is a car! Improper use of car lights will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself and others.
3, gearbox/vehicle driving status signs
Nowadays, in order to enable the owners to control the vehicle better, the automatic transmission models have also designed different modes to meet the needs of different users. The following signs are representative.
General automatic transmission models will have some tips on the dashboard, such as the unique shift reminder sign of the public, the snow mode of the gearbox and so on.
In addition, for some sports-oriented models, there will be some driving mode choices, such as Audi, BMW and Subaru. You can know what driving mode the vehicle is in by the icon on the dashboard. Generally, this logo directly displays related patterns in English. To sum up, there are mainly "sports, comfort, ecological economy, etc."
