instrument panel - an essential element in every car.They are supplied with all machines from cars small car and ending the huge tractors and dump trucks.They are united by only one thing - function.A valid instrument panel all the same.Of course, there are some differences between them, and they mainly deal with the design.If you look at the instrument panel "Zaporozhets" and "Fiat Doblo", you can see the many differences between them.But we will not go into details.
As we have seen, the main purpose of this part is to give the driver information about the current status of the vehicle.Currently there are three main direction, which are present in every car: it is the scale of the speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge the level in the tank.
Besides all this, the instrument panel can be used to display the status of aggregates, that is to serve as the on-board computer.Unfortunately, the domestic auto industry is still far from that.However, such items can be seen on "smart" Japanese and Korean cars.Also worth noting is very popular today digital scale.They are not staffed every car, and again, "Japanese" here in the championship.These scales did not have any arrows.
All that is required for the driver - it's a small LCD screen that can display all the information on the fuel level, speed, and so on.The main advantages of digital tools - this functionality.On one screen, the driver can vary the readings.This means that a motorist can choose at any time what he needs: to expose the sensor, which will show the average fuel consumption per unit of time or mileage, or start the stopwatch, which will pinpoint the time behind the wheel.In addition, the digital dashboard can provide temperature data, and they can measure the degrees inside the car, and "behind."
The only drawback of such tools is their unreliability.Due to the fact that to this dashboard you need to connect a plurality of sensors, wires and ropes, they can serve only in the workshop, and then for the repair of such instruments would have to shell out a tidy sum.Another thing - dial instrument panel.GAZ 3110 and many domestic cars are equipped with just such devices.Their main advantage over digital counterparts is their unpretentiousness and reliability.Electronics such an instrument panel (2109 included) has practically no.This means that to change, for example, you can own the speedometer cable.By the way, the cost of the items on the instrument panel switches several times cheaper than digital equivalents.It turns out that it is cheaper to use the classic version, the test of time.Confirmation of this - the widespread use of scales switches on modern cars are imported.
So, we found out why there is a dashboard, and what functions it performs.
