2. Tachometer, shows the speed of the engine crankshaft, the red scale zone indicates a dangerous operating mode for the engine
3. Liquid crystal display of the on-board computer, displays information from the BC
Briefly about the panel features
The combination of instruments under consideration has its own characteristics; 39 instruments “get along” with sufficient brevity, which is quite reasonable. All components will delight you with an excellent appearance. The instructions clearly show this. The car’s belonging to the domestic industry is indicated by the logo in the center of the steering wheel.
Traditionally, the main instruments are positioned as a pair: speedometer and tachometer. Due to the large numbers, it is convenient to read the data without being distracted for long from the road situation. At night, the dials will be illuminated with a gentle green backlight, which will not strain the “pilot’s” eyesight. Among the designated main instruments, the trip computer display for LADA Granta has found its niche. It allows you to quickly track fuel consumption and specific mileage.
There are 4 air ducts located along the edges of the panel perimeter: a pair is concentrated in the center, and the manufacturer placed the remaining two elements at the edges.
The basic equipment will delight you with the presence of a current element of the safety system - the airbag of the same name. The instrument panel displays all this.
The central part attracts the eye with a harmoniously placed radio tape recorder. For the “Standard” and “Norma” equipment versions of the Lada Granta, there is a niche cover at the location of the device.
Its dismantling is not capable of generating difficulties for LADA Granta owners. The constructive idea is implemented in such a way that any average person can figure out the algorithm for removing it for subsequent installation of the device.

Brief characteristics of the dashboard and dashboard
In general, 39 devices are conveniently and concisely placed on this panel, which is not so much. Everything looks very good. If it were not for the branded Lada badge on the steering wheel, one would get the impression that this is not a domestic car at all. By the way, the steering wheel of the car is adjustable in one or two options (this depends on the configuration of the Lada Granta).
The main instruments that the driver pays the most attention to are the speedometer and tachometer. In this version they are designed very simply and concisely. Thanks to large numbers, the data is easy and convenient to read. During night driving, a pleasant green backlight turns on, the brightness of which is not distracting at all. Soft light is another plus of this brand.
Between the two main instruments: the tachometer and the speedometer, the on-board computer display is conveniently located.
It can be used to track fuel consumption and distance traveled. The dashboard of the Lada Granta includes 4 air blowers. Their arrangement is as follows. One air duct is located on the driver and passenger sides. Two more are located in the central part of the shield.
As standard, not to mention the Lada Granta Lux, there is an airbag in the steering wheel.
There is also a multifunctional radio in the central part of the dashboard. If we talk about the Standard and Norma configurations, they also have a special compartment lid for the tape recorder.
Car owners should not have any questions about how to remove it. Everything is done in such a way that everyone can figure out how to detach the part and then install the audio system.

Exclamation mark on Granta's dashboard is on
The symbol is presented in the only indicator indicating a malfunction in the motor electrics. The lamp lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out after the engine starts.
When an element blinks continuously or is constantly on, this indicates a breakdown. It is recommended to immediately go to a service station and have the defect repaired.
Steering wheel icon on the Granta dashboard
The pointer is responsible for indicating the operation of the power steering module. If the signal is constantly on, there is a problem with the power steering device. The steering may become “wobbly”.
The engine icon on the Grants panel came on
A yellow “check” on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the motor. If the light comes on, immediately slow down and head to the nearest service center to find the problem and repair it.
Where is the engine temperature on the Grants panel
On the newest versions of the tidy, the indicator is displayed on the BC display. The first generation panels were not equipped with such a meter and only had an engine overheating lamp.
The easiest way to display the internal combustion engine temperature on the dashboard is to install a separate meter on a spare socket in the console. Due to the fact that the designs of non-standard devices can vary significantly, they should be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The oil is burning on the Granta tidy and beeping: reasons
The car's oiler can only indicate problems inside the crankcase compartment. There is a drop in lubricant pressure here, which can cause a leak or pump failure.
Possible faults
If everything is clear with the description, then let’s move on to the malfunctions. Like any other electronic component, the Lada Granta instrument panel is also susceptible to various malfunctions.
What kind of breakdowns can occur in the operation of the control panel:
- The tidy is broken. If the shield fails, there can be quite a lot of symptoms. For example, only some or all of the devices will refuse to work. If this is the case, then the problem in this case may lie either in the power supply of the device or in its board. It is better to entrust repair problems to specialists.
- The tidy is glitchy. For example, all doors are closed and the unlocked door indicator is on, or the optics are not turned on, but the corresponding light on the dashboard is flashing. As a rule, in this case the problem lies precisely in the board (of course, if the sensors are working). If the problem is in the board, then flashing the dashboard firmware can solve it, but this option does not always help. It is possible that the electrical equipment lights are on on the dashboard due to a faulty sensor, so it would be a good idea to check its functionality.
- All devices work, but there is no backlight. If all the backlight bulbs do not work at once, then most likely the problem lies in a blown fuse or a damaged wire or connector. Checking the wiring is done using a multimeter.
- Only part of the light bulbs or one of them does not work. In this case, the malfunction consists of a burnt-out lamp; to eliminate it, the instrument panel in the Lada Granta is dismantled, after which the burnt-out lamps in it are replaced.
- The equipment indicator on the dashboard does not turn on. For example, you turn on the high beams, but the corresponding light does not light up. This may be due either to a failure of the indicator itself (the lamp is changed in the same way), or to a breakdown of the sensor. It is quite possible that there is poor contact between the light bulb and the wiring.
- Speedometer failure. The cause of the malfunction may lie in the board or speed sensor installed on the device. The situation is similar with sensors - fuel level, engine temperature. If they do not work or show incorrect values, then the problem should be looked for in the controllers themselves, wiring or board. It is possible that the devices are not working simply due to poor contact.

Features of the device Grants FL
The instrument module of the model we are considering contains a more information-rich display and has a modern design, which significantly influenced the improvement of the interior of the entire cabin. Moreover, the improved design of the radio on the display cannot leave the youth audience of users of this domestic van indifferent.
The first thing that is pleasantly surprising is the exquisite fit of the tidy elements to the central panel, namely in the form of neatly sealed joints with minimal gaps, quite high-quality plastic. At the same time, the plastic itself has a texture that is pleasant to the touch, without any squeaks or crunches either when pressed or when driving off-road.
The material does not make sounds even after prolonged use, which is not only a high-quality fit of individual elements, both the tidy and the dashboard, but also proof that the plastic does not become rougher over time.
As for the styling or design of the tidy, this is an example of the style and logistical accessibility of the functions of the object of our review.
Tidy reset
To perform the procedure, you should scroll the shield regulator until the dial is reset to zero. If you need to perform a full reset of the panel, you need to disconnect power from the battery for 15 minutes and reconnect the wires.
The Grants panel is quite advanced and easy to understand for the driver. The indicators are intuitive, making it easier for novice drivers to learn.

What are the designations for certain display modes?
The green color of the alarm means the correct operation of the systems for which these icons are responsible. Their yellow or orange glow warns of possible malfunctions, and red indicates the presence of such malfunctions that can lead to significant damage or a critical reduction in the safety of the same FL Grants.
If, after starting the engine, its icon (1) continues to light or flash, this means there is a malfunction in certain engine systems.
If the low pressure alarm of the internal combustion engine lubrication system (4) flashes even after starting the engine, this indicates the need for visual monitoring of oil leakage, and then including a bench check of the operation, starting with the oil pump and ending with the pressure reducing valve.
As for the ABS indication (5), the stabilization system is working properly if this icon goes out within a couple of seconds after the engine starts.
But the cooling system overheating lamp (7), provided that it is properly controlled, should go out after a 5-second interval after the engine starts running.
If there is an alarm about a brake fluid deficiency (8), then in addition to checking for the optimal level, you should definitely check for critical wear of the pads.
When the engine is running, the airbag status icon (26) should not light up if the active safety system is working properly and is turned on.
All this means that the Granta FL dashboard is intuitive and also as informative as possible even for novice drivers.
