Note: The indicator number in the table corresponds to the item number.
1. Indicator of the parking brake system condition and brake fluid level.
a) The indicator lights up if:
- parking brake engaged;
- low brake fluid level or brake booster leak;
- the electrical circuit of the indicator is faulty.
b) If the indicator lights up while driving, you must 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 off, there is a problem with the brake system. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
- If the brake fluid level is low, check the vehicle's braking efficiency in a safe location. If you think the brakes are still working well enough, carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest repair facility. If the brakes do not work, the vehicle must be towed or removed for repair.
Warning: Driving a vehicle with low brake fluid is dangerous.
- If the brake fluid level is normal, then the brake booster may not be working effectively or the indicator electrical circuit may be faulty.
2. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator.
After the ignition is turned on, 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 braking system. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is turned on when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h and is turned off when the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h.
Caution: Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly may cause the indicator to come on for a few seconds.
3. "check engine" engine trouble indicator.
The indicator lights up when the ignition key is turned to the "0N" position for a few seconds and then goes out, informing the driver that the engine management system is being checked. If the indicator continues to light or lights up while driving, this indicates that there are faults in the electronic engine management system.
In this case, it is necessary to go to the repair site and diagnose the engine control system.
4. 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 conditioning, fan, radio, etc.) and drive to the repair site.
5. 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 ignition.
- The indicator may flash after sudden braking or when the engine is idling. There is no malfunction if the indicator goes out with a slight increase in engine speed.
- The indicator may light when the engine oil level is too low. However, this indicator is not intended to inform about low oil level, so periodically check the level with the dipstick.

Instrument cluster. 1 - tachometer, 2 - speedometer, 3 - coolant temperature gauge, 4 - fuel level gauge, 5 - odometer toggle and reset button, 6 - odo-meter/mileage meters, 7 - high contrast backlight switch.
Table. Instrument cluster indicators.
6. CVT selector position indicators ("P", "R", "N", "D", "Ds" or "L") or automatic transmission selector position indicators ("P", "R", "N", "D" or "Ds").
When the selector is moved to any position, the indicator corresponding to the selected position of the CVT selector/automatic transmission selector lights up on the instrument cluster.
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 indicators light up when the ignition switch is in the "ON" or "ACC" position. After a few seconds, the indicators go out. If the indicators do not light up or light up while driving, there is a malfunction in the SRS components.
10. Driver's seat belt indicator.
The indicator lights up when the ignition is turned on for a few seconds and then goes out. If the driver is not wearing a seat belt, the indicator on the instrument cluster starts flashing continuously.
11. Indicator of open or not tightly closed door.
The indicator remains on until all doors are securely closed.
12. Low fuel indicator. The indicator comes on when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position and the amount of fuel in the tank is less than 8 liters. On slopes or when turning, the indicator may come on due to fluctuations in the fuel in the tank. Caution: Do not drive with a very low fuel level in the tank. Running out of fuel may damage the catalytic converter.
13. The GDI ECO mode indicator lights up when the engine is running on an ultra-lean fuel-air mixture (the most economical engine operating mode at idle, when the vehicle is moving at a constant speed, decelerating or smoothly accelerating).
14. The side light indicator lights up when the side lights are turned on.
