Alarm hands of indexes of turns / alarm system
At inclusion of indexes of turns the alarm hand will work in unison with external indexes of turns. At turning on of the alarm system both alarm hands will begin to blink.

Alarm lamp of turning on of high beam headlamps
The blue lamp is lit when high beam headlamps turn on.

The indicator of the included transfer of the automatic transmission (for models with the automatic transmission)
At turn of a key in the ignition lock in situation the ON lighting lamp of the indicator lights up, and the indicator shows what transfer is included on an automatic box.

The alarm bulb warning about an open door
This alarm lamp is lit if any of doors it is open or closed leaky.
Before a trip check that this alarm lamp was switched off.

Alarm lamp of the brake system
This alarm lamp lights up when the key in the lock of ignition is turned in position of ON (the engine is switched off).
After start of the engine the lamp has to go out. If to put the car on the parking brake or if the level of brake fluid falls below a certain level, the lamp will light up.

Before starting, remove the car from the parking brake and check that the alarm lamp went out. If the alarm lamp does not die away after the car was removed from the parking brake, it testifies to malfunction of the switch of a lamp or that the level of brake fluid fell in a tank below a certain level.

Check the level of brake fluid in a tank. If it is too low, it is necessary to find and remove the cause of lowering of the level of brake fluid. Before it is dangerous to drive the car.

Prevention
If to kill the engine after removal of the car from the parking brake, the alarm lamp will light up, it is the normal phenomenon. the lamp will go out after start of the engine.

Alarm lamp of system of anti-blocking of brakes (if it is established)
The alarm lamp lights up in case of malfunction in system of anti-blocking of brakes. It also lights up at turn of a key in the ignition lock in position of ON, after start of the engine it has to go out.

Always check that the lamp went out before going to a trip.

If the lamp lights up when driving, stop the car and kill the engine. Check the ABS system, having started the engine and having passed on the car with a speed about 10 km/h and above during 20 with or longer. If the alarm lamp goes out, everything is all right. If the lamp does not go out or will light up again, means in system of anti-blocking of brakes there is a malfunction and only the ordinary brake system functions.

In this case address experts for check and repair of the ABS system.

Prevention
If the lamp does not die away after start of the engine, it means that only the ordinary brake system, without the ABS system functions (see subsection 11.16).

The alarm lamp and sound signal warning about need to be fastened by a seat belt
At turn of a key in the ignition lock in position of ON the alarm lamp will light up on 4–8 with even if the driver was fastened.
If the driver was not fastened at turn of a key in the ignition lock in position of ON, the sound signal will sound approximately during 4–8 with for a reminder to the driver that it is necessary to fasten a seat belt.
If to be fastened during this period of time, the sound signal will stop.

The alarm lamp warning about the low level of fuel
The alarm lamp lights up if fuel level in the fuel tank decreases approximately to 11 l.
It is recommended to fill the fuel tank as soon as possible after the alarm lamp lights up.

Prevention
Do not drive the car with very low level of fuel: if you terminate fuel, catalytic converter can be damaged.

System indicator cruise control
This indicator will light up at inclusion of system a cruise control.

The indicator of an operating mode of the transmission (if it is established)
If to turn a key in the lock of ignition in position of ON, one of PWR or HOLD indicators will light up.
At inclusion of a normal operating mode of the transmission both indicators have to go out.

The indicator of switching off of an overgear (model with the automatic transmission)
This indicator will light up when the switch of the raising transfer is transferred to position of OFF (Is switched off).

Alarm lamp of an overheat of liquid of the automatic transmission (model with the automatic transmission)
The alarm lamp of an overheat of liquid of the automatic transmission lights up when temperature of liquid of the automatic transmission rises too strongly.
Excessive temperature increase of liquid of the automatic transmission is usually caused by severe conditions of operation of the engine and transmission. Usually reduction of speed of operation of the engine and quieter driving with a smaller speed of dispersal allow cooling liquid to return to the normal temperature then the alarm lamp has to go out. If it does not die away, lower turns of the engine and stop the car. Then include parking transfer and leave the engine to work in the idling mode. Wait, the alarm lamp will not go out yet. When the alarm lamp goes out, it will be possible to go further. If the alarm lamp does not die away, address experts for check of the engine and the transmission.

Prevention
If the level of transmission liquid is lowered, it can promote an overheat of the transmission and its premature wear.
On cars on which the automatic transmission with a possibility of switching of the modes of its work is installed the alarm lamp of an overheat of cooling liquid can begin to blink if in a control system of the transmission there is a malfunction. When the alarm lamp blinks, the safety mechanism which keeps the constant speed of the movement turns on, but does not allow the engine to work at full capacity at dispersal or on rise. If the alarm lamp of an overheat blinks, it is necessary will address experts for check of the transmission and the engine (cm. subsection 1.16.8).

Control lamp of work the engine / lamp warning about emergence of malfunction
This alarm lamp lights up if fails the control system of exhausts, any of elements, the system does not work normally and the SO level is higher than norm.
This alarm lamp also lights up at turn of a key in the ignition lock in position of ON and then dies away in several seconds.
If it lights up when driving or does not light up at turn of a key in the ignition lock in position of ON, address experts for check of the control system of exhausts.

The lamp warning about need of maintenance
In order that the system of decrease in toxicity of an exhaust worked regularly, it needs to be checked periodically. The alarm lamp lights up after 80 000 km of a run, 130 000 km of a run and 160 000 km of a run, warning that it is necessary to carry out an inspection of system of decrease in toxicity of an exhaust.
If the alarm lamp lights up, address experts for check and service of system of decrease in toxicity of an exhaust.

Prevention
If you continue to drive the car at the burning alarm lamp, it can have an adverse effect on work of system of decrease in toxicity of an exhaust.

For obtaining more detailed information on intervals of maintenance of the car you watch subsection 2.1.

Alarm lamp of low pressure of oil (if it is established)
The alarm lamp lights up when pressure of oil falls below normal level.
If the lamp lights up when driving, stop and kill the engine as soon as possible and do not drive the car until the cause of pressure decline of oil is removed. The alarm lamp does not show oil level in an engine case. Level of oil needs to be checked by means of the probe for measurement of level of oil at the idle engine.

Prevention
If the level of oil is strongly lowered, it can lead to damage of the engine.

Alarm lamp of system of accumulator charging
The alarm lamp lights up at turn of a key in the ignition lock in position of ON (the engine is switched off). After start of the engine the lamp has to go out. If it continues to burn after start of the engine probably at system of accumulator charging there is a malfunction. In this case address experts for check of system.
