Nissan Maxima QX

The speedometer specifies the speed of the movement of the car in km/h. below an axis of an indicator arrow the digital display which top field is allocated under indications of the odometer (the counter of a full run of the car), lower - under indications of the counter of a distance in kilometers of the current trip is located.

Near the dial of a speedometer the index of turns of the engine is located, - a tachometer. The arrow of the measuring instrument shows to the driver the frequency of rotation of a bent shaft of the engine in rpm. You watch that turns of the engine did not rise so that the arrow of the index came into limits of the measuring instrument scale range highlighted in red color.

The measuring instrument registers temperature of cooling liquid of the engine. Indications of the measuring instrument can vary depending on ambient temperature and conditions of driving. At a device arrow exit out of limits of range of admissible values of a scale, it is necessary to stop immediately the movement and to allow the engine to cool down. Long operation of the superheated engine can lead to an exit it out of operation.

The measuring instrument of fuel consumption specifies the current level of fuel in a tank. During the braking, accelerations, commission of maneuvers and the movement of the car on the inclined plane of the indication of the measuring instrument can vary slightly. The scheme of connection of the measuring instrument such is that it continues to give working value even at the switched-off ignition. When lowering level of fuel in a tank to critical value the control lamp which is built in in the measuring instrument dial works.

The control lamp of a charge has to light up at inclusion of ignition and die away right after start of the engine. Inclusion of this control lamp at the working engine warns the driver about violation of serviceability of functioning of system of a charge, i.e., the rechargeable battery passes into the category mode. It is necessary to switch off at once everything consumers of the electric power on whose functioning traffic safety does not depend and to try not to allow an engine stop as the attempt of its restart can lead to the final category of the battery. The car should be driven away at once on the nearest car repair shop for performing diagnostics of refusal and performance of necessary recovery repair.

The control lamp of pressure of motive oil has to light up at inclusion of ignition and die away right after start of the engine. The lamp blinking at the working engine demonstrates the pulsation decrease in working pressure of engine oil in the engine. Transition of the indicator to the mode of a constant luminescence says that pressure of oil fell to dangerously low level that is fraught with serious internal damages of the engine, up to its full exit out of operation. In both cases it is necessary to take urgent measures for adjustment of level of oil, identification and elimination of the reasons of pressure drop.

The control lamp quickly lights up at inclusion of ignition. Its operation in any other time testifies to possible malfunction of one of systems of electric equipment of the power unit. In the absence of visible signs of refusals of functioning of systems of the power unit and decrease in dynamics of the vehicle, fixed by inclusion of a control lamp of violation can be the reason of increase in fuel consumption or increase in toxicity of emissions. Ignoring of signals of a control lamp is fraught with serious damages of the engine, up to a unit exit out of operation. At operation of a control lamp on the run it is necessary to stop immediately the movement, to park in the safe place and to kill the engine, then, later small time, to make start, watching at the same time behavior of a control lamp. If the lamp did not return to the normal mode of functioning and continues to burn, the car should be driven away on the nearest car repair shop for performing detailed diagnostics and performance of necessary recovery repair. Before elimination of malfunction of systems of the engine try to move with a moderate speed, avoiding sharp dispersals with full squeezing of the accelerator pedal.

Even if at restart of the engine the control lamp comes back to the normal mode (i.e., dies away), follows at the first opportunity to address for consultation on car repair shop, especially if such turning on of the indicator happens not for the first time. Continuation of operation of the car with the included control lamp of a condition of the engine can lead to premature failure of the catalytic converter. Remember that guarantee certificates of manufacturer n6e extend to the refusals and damages which resulted from operation of the car with the included control lamp!

This light indicator lights up along with inclusion of driving beam of head headlights of the car (see below).

This light indicator confirms serviceability of functioning of back foggy lamps at their inclusion.

Operation of this control lamp informs the driver on critical decrease the level of hydraulic liquid in the brake system.

This control lamp continuously burns at raising of the parking brake, reminding the driver of need of his otpuskaniye before a start of motion. The movement with the cocked parking brake leads to a bystry overheat and failure of brake mechanisms of back wheels of the car and premature wear of protectors of tires of back wheels, and, besides, can become a cause of infringement of serviceability of functioning of system of anti-blocking of brakes (ABS) (see below). One of the possible reasons of gradual decrease in level of brake fluid is normal wear of frictional overlays of brake shoes. At operation of a control lamp the car should be driven away on the nearest car repair shop for assessment of a condition of blocks and check of tightness of a hydraulic path of the brake system.

Short-term operation of a control lamp happens also at inclusion of ignition (even at the released parking brake).

At the corresponding complete set of the car this control lamp lights up at inclusion of ignition and dies away right after implementation of start of the engine, confirming thereby serviceability of functioning of a contour of system of anti-blocking of brakes. Operation of a control lamp in any other situations demonstrates identification by system of self-diagnostics of violations in ABS contour. The car should be driven away immediately on the nearest car repair shop for performing detailed diagnostics of system and performance of necessary recovery repair.

At operation of a control lamp the system of anti-blocking of brakes is disconnected, however brake mechanisms of the car continue to function in the usual mode, providing to the vehicle adequate braking.

At the corresponding complete set of the car this control lamp lights up at inclusion of system of automatic control of the speed of the movement of the car (tempostat) (see below).

The luminescence of this control lamp warns the driver that not all doors of the car are densely shut.

The indicator confirms the fact and serviceability of functioning of indexes of turns of the vehicle and works in the flashing mode with a frequency, the corresponding frequency of a blinking of indexes. The speeded-up indicator blinking usually demonstrates burn-out of a lamp of one of indexes of turns. Follows at the first opportunity to make replacement of the burned-down lamp not to create emergencies on roads.

Also turning on of the alarm system usually is followed by a blinking of this indicator.

This control lamp joins when in the fuel tank there are less than 9.0 l of fuel and warns the driver about need to urgently make gas station of the car.

This control lamp joins when translating a key of the switch of the raising transfer to position of OFF.

1. The main switch of management of lighting is executed in the form of the lever which is built in in the left part of a steering column directly under a steering wheel.
