Life hack: dashboard of a Lada Priora car, everything you need to know

Priora has several panels, depending on the year of manufacture, plus non-standard ones made specifically for it. Everyone knows how important it is to know the instantaneous status of instruments and machine parameters.

The panel, also known as the control panel, on a Lada Priora car is, in fact, brief information about the condition of the car at the moment. It contains all the basic information, from movement speed to indicator readings on malfunctions of the main units and components of the machine. When something in it doesn’t work, it’s immediately alarming, because it’s current information. A description of all the icons and their meaning can be found below in the article. Technology is gradually developing, so the dashboard is becoming more and more technologically advanced. But since the Lada Priora is a low budget car, the panel on it is of the same quality. On the first devices, the backlight often does not light up, or is only half lit. Of course, this doesn’t look good on Priora.

The instrument panel on the Priora car changed with the restyling of the 2nd Lada car. And Lux ​​cars come with navigation. In fact, its basic functionality remains the same - all basic information is visible. Here you can monitor the operation of the engine, monitoring the speed, and understand that it is time to take the car for maintenance when one of the lights comes on. The price of a first (1) and second (2) generation part starts from 6,000 rubles and above. Tidying saves you from speeding, helps you refuel on time and prevent the Priora from boiling.

Standard instrument panel - article number and price

The original car tidy exists in three types.

  • the first is an option for a pre-restyling car;
  • the second panel is for a restyled car;
  • and the third is the “Lux” option for the restyled one, which has become faintly similar to all previous torpedoes.

Each of them contains standard elements such as a tachometer, so their functionality does not decrease. . Who wants to do tuning of the instrument panel, this option is for them.

Priora first generation

The instrument cluster for the first generation Lada Priora received catalog number 2170-3801010. Cost – about 6,000 rubles. Everything is standard with it - from left to right there are four arc scales with red arrows: odometer, speedometer, coolant temperature, fuel level. Below the speedometer there is a small on-board computer display, and above the arches are all the indicators, including the direction indicators.

Priora 2

For the Priora “Lux” variation there are two more “subtypes” - with or without a CAN bus. Different subtypes were made so that the panel could be connected to any car. Catalog number – 2170-3801010-50 without tire, 2170-3801010-60 with tire. It is distinctive in that it contains an elongated display with a screen that can highlight the navigator.

The catalog number of the combination for the “Norma” assembly is 21720-03801010-20. Cost – 6,500 rubles. Like the “Lux” version, it received a brighter speedometer and odometer, and the coolant temperature along with the fuel level indicator is hidden at the bottom of the speedometer and odometer. The base will not create a route on the display, but will show all the information in color.

Tachometer, speedometer, on-board computer indicators, light bulbs - all these components are located on the Lada instrument panel. The “tidy” is designed to display the current state of various Lada Priora systems. An experienced motorist will immediately notice that one of the components requires repair; a certain icon will inform him about this. If you are a novice driver, then it will be useful for you to study the Lada Priora dashboard. This material provides a detailed description of each element of the tidy.

Icons on the factory dashboard

All indicators should light up like a Christmas tree for three seconds when the engine starts. If some icon remains, it means the system is signaling a breakdown. To make it easier to understand all the indicators, here is a schematic picture:

1,5,9,10 are already known scales that display the main parameters that can change. 19 – on-board computer display. Further:

  • 2 – Icon indicating the operation of the braking system.
  • 3 – Battery condition. If the light remains on, the battery is discharged or the charge level is too low.
  • 4.7 – Doublers for direction indicators (“turn signals”).
  • 6 – Oil level (indicates low level).
  • 8 – Handbrake. Lights yellow when the lever is tightened.
  • 11 – “Gasoline light bulb.” Lights up when there are only 10 liters left.
  • 12 – Button for switching on-board computer modes.
  • 13 – “Emergency”.
  • 14 – Electric power steering (indicates a breakdown).
  • 15 – High beam on.
  • 16 – Side lights/low beam.
  • 17 – Airbag condition (malfunction).
  • 18 – Immobilizer (if you hear a beep and the icon itself blinks, the immobilizer is faulty).
  • 20 – Seat belts not fastened.
  • 21 – Unsatisfactory condition of the service brake system.
  • 22 – Disabling the airbag.
  • 23 – ABS malfunction.
  • 24 – “Check”, “Check Engine” - engine failure.

The exclamation mark is on - what to do?

We have noticed that new topics often appear on car forums where drivers ask about the exclamation marks that are displayed on the Lada Priora panel. They rarely specify where it is lit and what is depicted on the icon. In this section we have collected a small FAQ Below are all the exclamation marks that can light up on the instrument panel of a VAZ 2170 car. The designations of these icons are as follows:

  • The red exclamation mark in the circle (bottom) is lit. The indicator indicates that there is a problem with the vehicle's brake system. This is usually a low brake fluid level. Add it to the tank and, most likely, the sign will stop lighting. If this does not happen, then it is worth checking the system for damaged components. When igniting, the indicator lights up for 4 seconds and then goes off.
  • The red exclamation mark in the triangle/circle (above) is lit. Modern versions use a triangle instead of a circle. The indicator tells us about defects in the operation of the brake force distributor. Use extreme caution if the light comes on while driving.
  • Exclamation mark next to the steering wheel icon. When illuminated for a long time, it indicates a malfunction in the electric power steering (EPS). Like other icons, it lights up when ignited and goes out after a few seconds if the system is working properly.

Sometimes the indication is caused by faults in the electronics. Terminals are coming off, contacts are oxidized, defects in the on-board computer are a few reasons for the random appearance of icons. To avoid damaging one of the systems, check the electronics first. To do this, it is enough to dismantle the device on the Lada Priora and see if the terminals are securely seated in the sockets. If the brake system indicator lights up, first check the fluid level in the reservoir, and only then fill in new antifreeze.

Possible faults

The instrument cluster does not always tell the truth, and sometimes its readings can mislead the driver - they may seem absurd. For each common malfunction, a brief commentary will be given on the possibility of eliminating them:

  1. The fault lamp does not light up (check the lamp);
  2. the lamp is on - check the sensor, reset the error via the diagnostic connector.

If none of the above measures help resolve the problem, carefully inspect the wiring - damage to it may cause the light bulb to activate or deactivate.

Tuning and replacement of the instrument panel

If you want to tune or replace the instrument panel, then you will probably find the instructions for removing and disassembling the panel useful. The tuning procedure involves removing and disassembling the shield, we will discuss this in detail below.


Tuned tidy of a Priora car

So, to tune and replace the device, follow these steps:

  1. First of all, to carry out replacement or tuning, it is necessary to dismantle the tidy, having first removed the lining and disconnected all the fasteners. You also need to disconnect all wiring harnesses. If you are installing a new dashboard, then simply replace it.
  2. To carry out tuning, you need to remove the arrows, first disassembling the device. To prevent the panel from scratching, place thin cardboard or a plastic card under the arrows.
  3. The next stage of tuning will be to dismantle the panel cover; to do this, it needs to be separated from the glass base.
  4. So, let's proceed directly to tuning. If you want to tune the backlight, then the green coating must be removed; for this, use a stationery knife. Then you can take a plastic bag of any color, cut a small piece out of it and place it on the back of the trim. For proper tuning, cellophane must be glued.
  5. Simple lamps are not suitable for good illumination; it is better to use LED indicators. If you decide to install tape, then it should be glued along the entire perimeter of the scale. The pieces glued to the instrument cluster must be connected to each other with thin wires, after which the power wire is removed.
  6. Another step is to disassemble the display. It is necessary to remove the light filter from this element or replace it with another one. The filter can be of absolutely any color, depending on what kind of tidy light you want to get.
  7. The final stage will be the installation of all arrows and components on the control panel with further connection to all the necessary wires (video author - Kirill Zhukov).

  1. If necessary, reset the error: hold the button for three seconds.
  2. Release the button. Click again. All indicators should light up.
  3. Leave all the buttons. After 30 seconds, the self-test will automatically complete.

Instrument cluster

First, let's look at the description and pinout designation of the icons of the new instrument panel on the Lada Priora car.

So, the shield includes the following elements:

  1. A tachometer device designed to demonstrate engine speed. Red arrows on the combination indicate speeds that are not recommended to be exceeded. Lada Priora allows you to accelerate the engine to six thousand revolutions.
  2. Pinout icons for light alarms or turn signals. A green arrow pointing to the left lights up on the dashboard when the left turn is engaged. It not only lights up, but also blinks, the same applies to the right turn signal. In addition to the fact that the icon turns on, at this moment the sound signal also works; its shield turns on along with the turn signal.
  3. The speedometer shows the speed level at which you are traveling.
  4. Refrigerant temperature level sensor in the system. If, as a result of any malfunctions, the coolant temperature increases to 115 degrees, an audible signal will tell the car owner about this. This will happen for five seconds until the temperature drops to 110 degrees. To prevent the engine from overheating, you should turn it off and get rid of the problem of antifreeze boiling.
  5. The designation of the arrow for the level of gasoline in the tank is known to everyone. If the arrow on the Lada Priora instrument cluster has approached the red zone, this indicates that the tank needs to be refilled as quickly as possible, since there are about five liters left in it. Please note that sediments present in the fuel collect at the bottom of the gas tank, so it is not recommended to use gasoline completely.
  6. A pinout icon indicating that the gasoline reserve is turned on; this symbol is made in the form of a gas station. When it lights up orange and stays on continuously, it means refueling is needed.
  7. There is a button on the speedometer designed to reset the daily mileage; when you press it, the daily mileage will be reset to zero.
  8. Alarm. When this function works, red icons are activated on the Lada Priora instrument cluster. The vehicle's parking lights begin to flash, indicating a breakdown.
  9. An icon indicating the operation of the electric power steering. When the ignition is turned on, this icon works and passes the test, but after the engine starts, the backlight disappears.
  10. Icon with blue highlight. On the Lada Priora combination diagram, when you turn on the high beam headlights, you will be able to see the corresponding icon with a blue backlight, but it will be practically invisible during the day.
  11. Handbrake icon that illuminates when the lever is activated. The backlight of this element lights up in red; it also disappears when the engine starts, after the test.
  12. Symbol for turning on external lighting, that is, side lights or low beam. The icon turns on with a green backlight.
  13. The symbol of working airbags on the Lada Priora combination diagram turns on for 3-4 seconds after turning on the ignition, during the test, it lights up in orange.
  14. Engine fluid pressure emergency icon. There is also this icon on the navigation diagram for the driver; it always lights up in red when the ignition is on and goes out after the engine starts, that is, the test. The driver must always use the navigation panel of the Lada Priora and monitor the operation of this indicator. If it does not light up when igniting, this may indicate a sensor malfunction. If the fluid pressure level is below the required level, an audible signal will tell the driver about this within five seconds. It is not recommended to operate the car when the fluid level is low, as this will harm the engine.
  15. Immobilizer icon. On the navigation diagram you can see a symbol with orange backlight - the immobilizer icon. The element demonstrates to the driver whether the Lada Priora vehicle protection system is turned on or not.
  16. The computer is another symbol that shows the full mileage of the Lada Priora per day, with indicators of the main functions located in the middle.
  17. The seat belts disconnected symbol lights up red during the test; if the seat belts are not fastened, the system will sound a corresponding buzzer.
  18. Battery symbol. Another indicator that is tested when the ignition is turned on is the battery symbol. When you turn the key, it passes the test and lights up, the indicator goes out after the engine starts. It should be noted that the operation of this component of the Lada Priora instrument cluster must always be monitored. If it does not turn on, then there is a possibility that the battery is not ready for use or the sensor has failed. If the indicator functions while the engine is running, this may indicate a low battery charge. There is also a possibility that the timing belt is loose or broken, or the generator is not working correctly (the brushes are worn out).
  19. The brake system status regulator is also located on the Priora dashboard. This symbol on the combination lights up in red when the ignition is on, like other sensors, it stops working after the engine starts. If the brake system does not pass the test, then using the Lada Priora is not recommended.
  20. The Check Engine regulator on the Lada Priora combination indicates the condition of the engine. When the ignition is turned on, it passes the test and turns off when the engine starts. If the symbol continues to light while the engine is running, this indicates a malfunction of the unit; it is recommended to carry out computer diagnostics of the engine. This is the only way to obtain the most accurate data about possible breakdowns that need to be eliminated in the near future.
  21. The ABS system icon lights up continuously when it fails.
  22. Airbag disabled icon. The driver's navigation control panel also has this icon, in particular those located on the front passenger seat.
  23. Symbol of failure of the electronic brake force distribution system (video author - Automotive Diagnostics).
