Combination of devices

Control lamps

Control lamps of indexes of turn

Two control lamps in the form of arrows have a green luminescence and serve for control of serviceability of functioning of the corresponding indexes of turns. The direction of indicator arrows coincides with the chosen direction of a change of course of the car. Control lamps work in the flashing mode with frequency, the corresponding frequency of a blinking of indexes of turn. The speeded-up blinking of one of control lamps usually testifies to burn-out of a lamp of one of indexes of the corresponding turn. Follows at the first opportunity to make replacement of the burned-down lamp not to create emergencies on roads.

Turning on of the alarm system usually is followed by a simultaneous blinking of control lamps of indexes of both turns.

On some models in an instrument guard the separate control lamp of the alarm system which usually is established instead of a control lamp "is built in fasten belts". In this case a control lamp of indexes of turns at turning on of the alarm system should not blink.

Indexes

The scheme of an arrangement of indexes of a combination of devices is submitted to an illustration.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows the frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft of the engine in revolutions per minute. In order to avoid an exit of the engine it is out of operation forbidden to exceed the most admissible frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft (the arrow of a tachometer never has to come into a red zone of a scale).

Speedometer

The speedometer shows the speed of the movement of the car. As a unit of measure the km/h usually serves, in certain cases on the dial of the measuring instrument two scales can be put: km/h and miles/h. Inoda can be included in the package of the car an alarm buzzer of excess of admissible safe speed of the movement (120 km/h).

The index of level of fuel in a tank

The device registers the current amount of fuel in a tank. The error of indications of the measuring instrument is minimum when the car is on an equal horizontal platform. At the movement of the car on twisting or hilly roads the error of the device increases. At switching off of ignition of the shooter of the index turns into zero situation. Right after turn of the ignition key in position "ON" (II) of the shooter of the index turns into situation, sotvetstvuyushchy to the actual amount of fuel in a tank.

Index of temperature of the engine

The device registers temperature of cooling liquid of the engine. Normal working temperature of the engine at operation of the car in obychnykhusloviya corresponds to the average provision of an arrow of the index. In heavy uloviya of operation, for example, in very hot weather or at long rise uphill the arrow of the index can rise to the top red mark in a scale. If temperature of the engine increased so that the arrow of the index comes into limits of red range of a scale of the measuring instrument (N), it is necessary to stop immediately the movement, having moved down on a roadside, to park the car, to make check of a condition of cooling systems regarding clarification of the reasons of an overheat of the engine

Odometer

The odometer fixes the general run of the car in kilometers or miles, depending on execution option.

Counter of the current distance in kilometers run/index of temperature of external air

The counter registers the current run of the car from the moment of the last dumping of indications (in kilometers or miles, depending on execution option). Dumping of indications of the counter prizvoditsya by means of the special button which is built in in an instrument guard is more right than assembly of a speedometer. On some models the display of the counter can be used for highlighting of data on temperature of external air. Switching of the display of the measuring instrument is made by the button mentioned above. At inclusion of ignition the last chosen indicators will be brought to the display.

Some of the Honda Accord models are equipped with two counters of the current distance in kilometers switching between which is carried out by consecutive pressing of the same button. For zeroing of indications any of counters it is necessary to bring them to the measuring instrument display, then to hold the button of dumping pressed before emergence on the screen of value "O". Zeroing of indications of measuring instruments happens also at a battery detachment.

For the purpose of the prevention of the category of the battery inclusion of the warning sound signal working when opening a driver's door is provided in case illuminants are left included, and the ignition key will turn in the position "ASS" (I) or "LOCK" (0).

Short-term switching of head headlights from a passing beam on distant is also back made by procrastination of the lever of the switch on itself. For continuous inclusion of a driving beam delay the lever on yourself a doshchelchka, then release. Short-term inclusion of a driving beam is made irrespective of, in what situation there is a rotary face handle of the main switch. 5 Some of the models of cars considered in the present manual are equipped with system of automatic inclusion of running fires of light time of day (DRL). Day lighting joins and switched off automatically at turn of the ignition key in situation "ON" (II), its switching off can be made by turn of the face handle of the central switch of lighting in the first or the second fixed situation.

Inclusion of indexes of turns

Inclusion of indexes is made by means of the lever of the main switch of lighting. The lever is transferred up or down, to dependences of the chosen direction of a change of course. At transfer of the lever to extreme top / lower situation (before click) the corresponding indexes of turns will continue to function until the steering wheel is not returned in rectilinear situation.

Short-term inclusion of indexes, for example, at intention to replace a lane of the movement is made by easy procrastination of the lever up or down, respectively.

Right understeering switch

Switch of management of functioning of screenwashes

Regulator of correction of the direction of optical axes of head headlights of the car

The regulator provides possibility of correction of the direction of optical axes of radiation of head headlights in the mode of a passing beam and to achieve the best conditions of lighting of the road at various loading of the car.

2regulirovka it is made depending on number of passengers, existence and mass of freight in a luggage compartment. The regulator should be transferred to the situation corresponding (or the most approximate) the actual loading of the car:

a) Situation "O" - one driver or the driver and the passenger on a forward seat;
b) The situation "1" - the driver and four passengers on forward and back seats;
c) The situation "2" - the driver, four passengers on forward and back seats, plus freight in a luggage compartment (the full mass of the car is in limits of admissible range);
d) The situation "3" - one driver and freight in a luggage compartment (loads of forward and back axes of the car are in admissible limits, the full mass of the car does not surpass the maximum admissible value).

On modifications of a class R correction of optical axes of headlights is carried out automatically in the mode of a passing beam.

Lever of a clamp of an adjustable steering column

See information concerning the correct and safe provision of a steering column (Undressed Elements of security systems of the car).

Situation the helmsman of a column on cars of the corresponding complete set can be adjusted at the discretion of the driver. Adjustment is carried out before a start of motion.
