Control panel vaz 2114 description of the buttons. Buttons, bulbs, icons, indicators

Although domestic VAZs do not reach modern foreign cars in terms of the complexity of the design of components and assemblies, they still have their own indicators that can signal a particular malfunction. We will analyze in order what they mean and how to decipher the icons on the dashboard of a VAZ 2114 car.

Dial indicators

To begin with, we will analyze the indicators with arrows, as we see there are four of them on the dashboard.
Indicator No. 1 shows the temperature of the coolant in the car engine. If the arrow is in the red sector, it is recommended to check the level or other elements of the cooling system (radiator, pump, thermostat).
Indicator No. 2 is a tachometer and indicates the speed of the crankshaft of the power unit. Do not spin the engine to its maximum power when the arrow goes into the red sector, this may adversely affect its durability.
Indicator number 5 - speedometer. Shows the actual speed of the vehicle at which it is moving. Also in this scale there is an electronic scoreboard No. 12 - a mileage counter, where the upper numbers are the total mileage, the lower ones are the daily mileage.
Well, the last pointer indicator No. 6 shows the amount of fuel in the tank. It has a backup indicator number 7 with the image of a gas station, it lights up when the gas runs out.

Light indicators on the dashboard VAZ 2114

The icons on the dashboard under #3 and #4 indicate that the left and right turn signals are on, respectively.
Badge number 8 tells the driver that the side lights and or outdoor lighting are on.
If the icon under No. 9 lights up, on which an exclamation mark is drawn, therefore, there is a problem in the operation of the car's brake system. In most cases, this may be a low level of brake fluid, add fluid to the reservoir.
Icon number 10 on which the headlight is drawn indicates that the high beam headlights are on.
Button No. 11 next to the liquid crystal display is used to reset the daily and set the hours.
Icon #13 lights up when the alarm is on.
Indicator No. 14 “ ” with the engine running informs the driver that there is a malfunction in the car engine.
Liquid crystal display No. 15 - shows the current time and temperature outside the car.
Indicator No. 16, which shows the battery, lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out after the engine is started. If there is a problem with, the generator does not work - it may light up or flash.
Icon No. 17 P in a red circle indicates that the parking brake (handbrake) is on.
Indicator No. 18, which shows a red tap, indicates insufficient oil pressure in the engine lubrication system. Low oil pressure can also result in a low oil level.
Indicator No. 19, indicates the position of the air damper, if installed on the VAZ 2114

When buying a new or used car, the first thing the owner must figure out is how to operate the car and all its systems. To do this, you should know the pinout of the instrument panel on the VAZ 2114, since it is this car that we are talking about today.

We bring to your attention a detailed description of the buttons on the dashboard of the VAZ 2114, icons, bulbs and other devices and indicators.

Basic devices and their decoding

Of course, the most significant instruments on the dashboard are:

• Speedometer;
• Tachometer;
• coolant temperature gauge;
• Fuel gauge in the tank.

Let's study them in more detail.

1. Speedometer. The VAZ 2114 provides for the installation of an induction speedometer, which receives speed data thanks to a sensor located on the gearbox. The speedometer shows the current vehicle speed. The scale is divided from 0 to 200 kilometers per hour in increments of 10 kilometers per hour. Such devices have an error of at least 5 kilometers per hour. At the bottom center of the speedometer is a two-line display. She reports the current mileage, and the second - the total mileage made on this car.
2. Tachometer. It is located to the left of the speedometer. The tachometer is an electronic device that receives signals from the on-board computer and reflects the current speed of the crankshaft. The scale is made with a division of 5 units. Digitization - every 10 units of the scale. The maximum scale of the tachometer is 80. Multiplying this number by 100, we get the number of revolutions. For example, if the scale is 40, then the crankshaft is spinning at 4000 rpm. The range from 55 to 60 has a red shading, while 80 is completely red. These are critical speeds, when the arrow reaches which the engine operates under extreme loads and may fail. At the bottom of the tachometer in the middle, the time and air temperature are displayed.
3. Coolant temperature gauge. The temperature of the coolant should be constantly monitored, therefore, a corresponding indicator is provided on the dashboard for this. It is located to the left of the tachometer and reports the current temperature of the coolant. The data comes from the corresponding sensor. The division is made in increments of 20 degrees. Digitization starts at 50, then goes to 90 and 130. The danger zone starts at 105 degrees. If the arrow is in this zone, the engine must be stopped immediately, otherwise overheating and breakdown will occur.
4. Fuel gauge. It is located to the right of the speedometer. The scale shows numbers and images that mean:
   1. 0 - the tank is empty;
   2. 1/2 - the tank is half full;
   3. the tank is full;
   4. The image of the gas station at the top - the tank is filled to the maximum;
   5. Image of a gas station on the bottom right with orange backlight - less than 6 liters of fuel left in the tank.

Light bulbs, indicators icons

Having a photo of the icons in front of you, it will be much easier to figure out their designation on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114.

The badges are made in strict accordance with the norms and requirements, which allows you to understand their designation, regardless of the model, manufacturer. All car companies must unify designations. This allows each driver to understand their essence.

On the VAZ 2114 with an injection engine of the latest versions, the designations are located at the bottom of the dashboard.We offer the corresponding table with transcripts.

Image	Designation
Liquid drop canister icon	The image informs about the decrease in the oil level in the engine crankcase below the permissible value, is highlighted in red
Wipers and fountain icon	Indicates insufficient washer fluid. If there is less than a liter of washer left, the icon will turn orange
thermometer icon	It indicates a decrease in the coolant level in the expansion tank on a cold engine below the permissible level. Lights up in orange
Car icon with open doors	Indicates that some of the doors are not closed. Illuminated in red
Crossed light bulb icon	Reports a malfunction of the dimensions or brake lights
Circle icon with strokes on the sides	Talks about a malfunction of the brakes, the development of pads
Seat belt man icon	Indicates that someone has not fastened their seat belts.
Two green arrows icon	Signal the inclusion of the left or right turn signal
Check Engine Icon	Lights up red when there is a problem with the engine
Blue light bulb icon	Talking about high beam
Green light bulb icon	He talks about turning on the low beam.
Designations provided for on the VAZ 2114 of earlier modifications
Red canister icon with liquid drop	Signals low oil, means emergency oil pressure
Letter "R" icon in a circle	Indicates that the handbrake is not turned off
Battery picture	Turns on when the battery is low
Exclamation mark icon in a circle	Lights up red to indicate a low brake fluid level.

Buttons and their designation

Now we go directly to the buttons, which also have their rightful place on the dashboard of the VAZ 2114.

1. The button on the bottom right of the speedometer allows you to switch the temperature and time on the digital display. If you hold it down for 5 seconds while the car is stationary, the current mileage data will be reset.
2. Double button with two switches. The button with two headlights turns on the dimensions, and the button with one headlight turns on the dipped beam.
3. The button with the strokes painted at an angle and the headlight turns on the front fog lights.
4. A button with horizontal strokes turns on the rear fog lights.
5. The button with a rectangle turns on the heated rear window.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand all the buttons, indicators and pointers. Our description of the buttons on the dashboard of the VAZ 2114 will help you understand this. But it is best to get into the car along with the instructions and see everything clearly.

Never ignore dashboard messages. If you react in a timely manner to a signal about an empty tank, for example, you can turn to a gas station in time and not stall in the middle of the road.

An element such as the dashboard of the VAZ 2114 allows the motorist to accurately control the most important parameters of the state of the car while driving, as well as receive timely information about problems that have arisen in it. It includes components such as the instruments themselves, control icons, display panels, as well as buttons and lights.

Devices and their purpose

As mentioned above, the VAZ 2114 tidy includes several devices, namely:

1. Tachometer (with additional panel).
2. Speedometer (with additional panel).
3. The indicator of the current temperature of the coolant.
4. Fuel gauge in the tank.

The first of these instruments is a tachometer. It is located in the center left of the dashboard. This device is designed to monitor engine speed at the present time. Its scale is graduated at intervals of 5 units, and the maximum value indicated on the scale is 80 units.

As you can see, the interval from 55 units to 60 units is highlighted with red shading, and the interval from 60 to 80 units is completely red. This is a critical interval, which indicates that the motor at such speeds is operating at its limit and there is a possibility of its failure.

Directly below the tachometer is an indication panel that displays the ambient temperature and the current time.

To the right of the tachometer, also in the middle of the dashboard, is an induction-type speedometer. It allows you to instantly control any changes in the speed of the machine. The scale of this instrument is calibrated in increments of 10 km/h, and the maximum speed marked on the speedometer is 200 km/h.

Directly under the speedometer there is an indication panel that displays the current (from the moment of resetting to the present) and the total (for all time) mileage of the car.

Guided by the readings of the induction speedometer, it should be remembered that the minimum error of such devices is at least 5 km / h, and the maximum can reach up to 10-15 km / h.

From the very left edge (to the left of the tachometer), the VAZ 2114 panel contains an indicator of the current coolant temperature. Indications for it come from an electronic temperature sensor. The division interval on the instrument scale is 20 degrees C, and the maximum possible point is 130 C. It should be noted that the interval from 105 C to the upper limit of the scale is highlighted in red, which indicates the danger of further movement.

If the arrow of the device has entered the specified interval, you should immediately stop the car, turn off the engine and let it cool down. Otherwise (when driving continues), the engine may fail due to overheating.

In the extreme right part of the panel, to the right of the speedometer, there is a device that indicates the current amount of fuel in the tank.

Its scale is graduated through 1/4 of the total volume of the tank, and has additional numbers and designations:

1. 0 - no fuel in the tank.
2. The lower image of the orange gas station is highlighted - there is less than 6 liters of fuel left.
3. 1/2 - The volume of fuel in the tank is half of the total volume of the tank.
4. 1 - the tank is full.
5. The top icon of the gas station - the tank is filled to the limit.

It is worth noting that it is highly undesirable to operate a car on which one or more of the main instruments do not work, since this can lead to driving errors and possible serious damage to the car's components (and driving with a non-working speedometer, on top of that, is illegal).

Additional control elements - icons and light bulbs

After looking on the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114, you can see that in addition to the main instruments, there are additional bulbs and illuminated icons on it. They play a very important role and inform the motorist either about turning on / off any functions or about the critical state of certain components and assemblies of the car.

It is worth noting that the badges on all makes and models of cars are unified according to the international standard. This is done so that the car owner can always accurately and accurately determine their value.

Consider these icons and their purpose in more detail:

• oiler with a drop of oil at the spout (highlighted in red) - oil in the crankcase is below a critical level;
• wipers and washer fountain (highlighted in orange) - the amount of washer fluid is less than 1 liter;
• thermometer (highlighted in orange) - the amount of coolant with the engine off is below a critical level;
• car with open doors (highlighted in red) - one of the doors (or doors) is not closed (not closed);
• crossed out light bulb - side lights or brake light are out of order;
• a circle with strokes on the sides - the brakes are faulty, the critical wear of the pads;
• a person fastened with a seat belt - one or more passengers are not fastened;
• two green arrows pointing in different directions - one of the turn signals is on;
• Check Engine - an engine problem has occurred, diagnostics are required;
• blue light - high beam is on;
• green light - dipped beam is on.

In addition, the instrument panel of the VAZ 2114 of earlier releases had several additional designations, which were located in its lower left part, namely:

• the letter P inside the circle - the handbrake is on;
• battery icon - low battery;
• exclamation point in a circle - too low brake fluid level.

In the same row with these badges, there was also a low oil level badge in red, made in the form of an oil can.

Thus, the icons on the tidy cover almost all the main parameters that indicate the condition of the car, and allow the driver to immediately take measures to eliminate the problems that have arisen.

Buttons

In addition to the main devices, lights and icons, the panel itself also has a number of buttons responsible for turning on / off certain useful functions.

They look like this:

1. The button located at the bottom right under the speedometer allows you to set the time and temperature on the digital display panel, as well as reset the current run distance (to do this, press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds - until the indicators are reset).
2. A double button with a pair of switches is responsible for lighting. The button on which two headlights are drawn is used to turn on the parking lights, and the button on which one headlight is shown turns on the dipped beam.
3. The button with the headlight depicted on it and strokes applied at an angle, as well as a wavy line, is responsible for turning on the front fog lights.
4. A similar button, on which the strokes are not at an angle, but horizontally, is responsible for turning on the rear fog lights.
5. The button with a rectangle depicted on it, in the lower part of which there are wavy vertical lines, serves to turn on the rear window heating.

Useful video

You can find more interesting information in the video below:

The dashboard of a car, as the main means by which the driver learns all the necessary information, determines the visual internal information content. The dashboard should always provide excellent visibility to all indicators, scales and icons that make it up.

At the same time, it should be uncomplicated in handling and give out all useful information, namely:

• the actual state of all vehicle systems that directly ensure safety while driving (car signaling equipment, braking system and passive safety system);
• indicators characterizing the movement (engine speed, speed, distance left to the object moving ahead);
• rational operation of the engine, transmission, chassis, electrical equipment and the vehicle as a whole;
• other useful information (time).

Also, the dashboard includes the necessary instrumentation, equipment controls and warning lights.

Car model overview

There are very few differences in the VAZ 2114 model from the previous VAZ 2113, but they exist. Although they are similar in bodywork, the main difference is that the first of them is a five-door, and the second is a three-door. The body was “borrowed” from models 2108/2109 and completed a few. The main thing is that this car is very practical, great for a family, and it is also very easy to learn.

A practical five-speed gearbox, a good one (you can change the space inside thanks to adjustable folding rear seats), as well as the compactness of the presented vehicle, allow you to easily get out in your own car to nature, a summer house, or quickly and pleasantly go to visit your parents. The engine of the VAZ 2114 model is similar to the unit installed on the VAZ 2113 - with a power of 80 hp. The car has a top speed of 160 km/h and accelerates to 100 km/h in just 13 seconds. In urban conditions, fuel consumption is 9.5 l/100 km.

Dashboard Troubleshooting

The car is equipped with a nice tidy from AvtoVAZ. More recently, just a few years ago, the factory nevertheless updated it, and thanks to such a seemingly insignificant change at first glance, the car acquired a more aesthetic and modern look.

However, no matter how beautiful the panel looks, there are also flaws in it, which, however, can always be safely finalized. This model is made of expensive plastic, so it rattles much less than previous models. However, there is still some rattling, and you should know how to fix it yourself.

This can be done using a "special" material called foam rubber. It is necessary to stick it on the back of the “tidy”. To completely eliminate unpleasant rattling and be completely satisfied with your work, you should completely disassemble it, disconnect all electrical wires and glue all its noisy places.

In case you are doing such a “repair” for the first time, it is better to photograph or sketch the electrical connectors so that in the future, looking at the photo or drawing, you will not get confused, and easily connect all the wires to their places during assembly.

If necessary, you can also change the standard illumination of the "tidy" to a beautiful LED. To do this, you need to have three LEDs with cartridges, as well as foil and double-sided tape. In the upper part of the tidy there are three incandescent lamps. These bulbs perform the function of illumination.

Above the lamps there is a special light filter, most often it is green. You can remove this filter and change it to another color, but you can leave this one. If a white LED shines on a green light filter, you will get a very beautiful and bright glow. In this way, you can not only eliminate rattling in the car, but also embellish the backlight of your tidy.

How to remove the "panel"?

To remove the instrument panel VAZ 2114, you must perform several correct steps:

• unscrew 3 screws using a Phillips screwdriver; they fix the left screen of the center console;
• remove the lining, and then the protrusion, which is located below, is removed from the body bracket;
• using a cross-shaped nozzle, we unscrew five self-tapping screws, which are located in the right overlay of the console; then remove the screen;
• after that, disconnect the negative wire terminal from the battery. If a radio receiver is installed, it should be removed and its block disconnected from the wiring harness, or you just need to remove the stub container from the car shield;
• then the wiring harness block must be disconnected from the cigarette lighter; you must also remove the ashtray lamp socket;
• then remove the handle from the levers; it will be easier if you pry it a little with a narrow screwdriver;
• remove the handle of the heater electric fan switch. You just need to pull it towards you;
• using a screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that are located above the instrument cluster, as well as the other two that are under it;
• prying off the plug, unscrew the screw that is behind it;
• unscrew the two screws that secure the cover from below;
• after that, remove the lining itself;
• we mark for ourselves in what order the wiring harness pads are connected to the switches (you can fix it in the photo) and disconnect them;
• next, unscrew the bolts securing the steering column bracket;
• using an 8 mm wrench, unscrew the two screws of the lower bracket mount;
• then we unscrew the self-tapping screw that secures the light guide using a Phillips screwdriver, then remove the light guide;
• unscrew the screws that secure the heating control unit; remove the lamp holders from its reverse side;
• after taking out the external parts, remove the decorative insert;
• then we unscrew the corresponding nuts of the nuts either with a 21 cm wrench or with pliers;
• remove the hydraulic corrector backlight;
• we unscrew the screws of the lower and upper fastenings of the tidy, as well as the fastening to the cross member, which is on the left;
• remove the instrument panel.

To install it is necessary to carry out all the steps in reverse order.

Dashboard tuning

In order for the backlight of the VAZ 2114 instrument panel to look beautiful and modern, it should be tuned. The process itself does not involve complex actions, so it can be done with ease. For tuning you need:

1. Disassemble the dashboard and remove the shield.
2. Finish the necessary parts.
3. Set in place.

First you need to install bright LEDs instead of the usual, regular yellow bulbs. It is not recommended to install low-quality Chinese products - such diodes will not last long. In this situation, the more expensive, the better and more durable.

To change the color of the arrows, it is better to substitute a red diode under each of the arrows. It will be correct to put a special heat shrink on them, then the beam of light from them will go straight. The arrows will be visible even in the case of bright night illumination. The wires from the diodes must be connected to the backlight wires of the car stove.

After that, the arrows will glow with a beautiful and rich red color, and the panel itself will get a new look. You can also complement the tidy with a beautiful euro panel, or, as it is also called, an overlay. This will give it a more modern look.

VAZ 2114 is one of the first domestic cars to use an electronic instrument panel combination. The "pioneer" in this area was, of course, the "ten", after which electronics began to be used on all subsequent VAZ models. And today's article we will devote to the instrument panel device

Device and characteristics

The dashboard of the VAZ 2114, in addition to the electronic combination, is also special in its backlight arrangement. And if on the first generation of "Samara" it was organized from the outside, which complicated access to the dashboard during dismantling, then the readings on the 14th "Lada" were illuminated by lamps from the inside. But this is not all the features of this part.

On cars, the VAZ 2114 includes up to 19 designations, the main of which are, of course, the tachometer, speedometer, coolant and fuel level sensors.

coolant temperature sensor

And we will begin the review of notation from the left side. Here, the dashboard on the VAZ 2114 has an arrow. The red scale starts at 105 degrees Celsius and ends at 130. For a note, we note that if the arrow of this sensor is in this range, you should immediately stop the engine and wait until it cools down. Otherwise, boiling of the motor is inevitable.

Tachometer

Next we have a tachometer. This is the largest arrow scale on the instrument panel after the speedometer. On its designations, we see that normal should be in the region from 2 to 5.5 thousand rpm (idle does not count). Next comes the red line. The arrow falling into this range is not as dangerous as in the case of the coolant temperature sensor. However, one should not forget that the prohibitively high speed entails not only but also a significant load on all other parts of the engine.

Speedometer

The dashboard of the VAZ 2114 is certainly equipped with a speedometer. This is the most important detail in the panel board. It is on her testimony that the driver’s control over speed depends, and, accordingly, safety too. Therefore, it should display readings with a maximum accuracy of 0.1 kilometers per hour. The dashboard of the VAZ 2114 has a speedometer scale with a measurement value from 0 to 200 kilometers per hour. Interestingly, almost all domestic cars have speedometers that measure readings in excess of 170 km / h. For example, on GAZelles, the peak speed is in the region of 180-200 kilometers per hour (depending on the year of manufacture). It is strange, of course, that a small-tonnage van accelerates to these values, then at least dial a “hundred” from the mountain ...

Fuel level sensor

The last dial gauge measures the fuel level in the car's gas tank. It is located according to the standard scheme - on the right side of the dashboard. There are only 3 markings on the scale: 0, ½ and 1. Of course, it does not measure data with the same accuracy as a speedometer, but it is quite possible to find out the approximate remaining fuel.

So, we learned the features that distinguish the dashboard of the VAZ 2114, and found out its structure.
