- a) The indicator lights up if:
- parking brake engaged;
- low brake fluid level;
- the electrical circuit of the indicator is faulty.
- b) If the indicator lights up while driving, you need to slow down, pull off the road and carefully stop the car. You can slow down by braking the engine and applying the parking brake, but do not forget to press the brake pedal to turn on the brake lights to warn drivers behind you about braking. Check the parking brake, it may be on. If the parking brake is off and the indicator lights up after it is turned off, then there is a malfunction in the brake system. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If the brake fluid level is low, add fluid and check the braking efficiency of the car in a safe place. If you think that the brakes are still working effectively enough, carefully drive the car to the nearest repair shop. If the brakes do not work, then the car must be towed or evacuated for repair.
Warning: Driving a vehicle with low brake fluid is dangerous.
- If the brake fluid level is normal, then the electrical circuit of the indicator may be faulty.
2. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator.
After turning on the ignition, the indicator lights up for a few seconds and then goes out. If the indicator lights up while driving or the indicator does not light up or does not go out when the engine is turned on, there may be a malfunction in the anti-lock system.
Caution: Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly may cause the indicator to come on for a few seconds.
3. Battery charge indicator.
- a) The indicator lights up when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and should go out after the engine starts.
- b) If the indicator lights up while driving, the charging system is faulty or the alternator drive belt is loose (broken). However, the engine will continue to run until the battery is completely discharged. Turn off additional equipment (air conditioner, fan, radio, etc.) and move to the repair site.
Instrument cluster (type 4): 1 - tachometer, 2 - speedometer, 3 - coolant temperature gauge, 4 - fuel gauge, 5 - button for resetting the trip counters to zero and switching modes "ODO" - "TRIP A" - "TRIP B", 6 - odometer and trip counter.

4. Low engine oil pressure indicator.
- a) The indicator lights up when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and should go out after the engine starts.
- b) The indicator lights up if the engine oil pressure is too low.
- c) If the indicator flashes or lights up while driving, you must pull over to the side of the road and turn off the engine.

In this case, it is necessary to go to the repair shop and diagnose the engine management system.
6. Low fuel indicator. The indicator lights up when the ignition key is in the "ON" position and the amount of fuel in the tank is less than 8 liters. Depending on the vehicle's configuration, the fuel may be enough for 40-60 km on a good road. On slopes or when turning, the indicator may light up due to fluctuations in the fuel in the tank.
Warning: Do not drive with very low fuel level in the tank. Running out of fuel can damage the catalytic converter
7. The high beam indicator lights up when the high beam headlights are turned on.
8. Turn signal indicators. The indicators flash when the turn signals or hazard warning lights are on. Excessive flashing of the indicators indicates a poor connection in the turn signal circuit or a failure of the turn signal bulb.
9. Airbag system (SRS) indicator.
The indicator lights up when the ignition key is in the "ON" position. The indicator goes out after a few seconds. If the indicator does not light up or lights up/flashes while driving, there is a malfunction in the SRS components.
