After the next update, the Priora began installing a restyled dashboard in the car’s interior. A large display has become located in the center, which can display not only on-board computer information, but also navigation. We'll tell you how to change the old instrument cluster on a Priora or Kalina to a new instrument panel.

Dashboard Lada Priora

The driver receives almost all information about the state of the car's systems by monitoring the arrows and indicators on the dashboard. The VAZ instrument cluster on the dashboard of different models may vary greatly, but it necessarily reflects such basic parameters as:

vehicle speed (speedometer);

engine speed (tachometer);

coolant temperature in the engine cooling system;

presence and quantity of fuel in the fuel tank;

total vehicle mileage (odometer) and daily mileage;

operation of turn signals, high and low beams and battery charging.

Over the years, the Tolyatti enterprise produced passenger cars under the brands “Zhiguli”, “Niva”, “Sputnik”, “Samara”, “Oka”, and cars supplied to some foreign countries were called “Riva”. Nowadays, the company’s own products bear the Lada logo, and a boat with the inscription “VAZ” is used as an emblem. The first “kopecks”, outwardly similar to the Italian Fiat 124, rolled off the plant’s assembly line back in March 1970, and since then the plant’s model range has only expanded. As models and modifications changed, instrumentation and instrument panels changed accordingly. In general, VAZ dashboards can be divided into several groups:

classic cars (VAZ 2101-VAZ2107)

family "Samara" (VAZ 2108, 2109,21099);

cars of the tenth series (VAZ 2110, 2111,2112, etc.);

modern modifications of Priora, Grant, Kalina.

The most interesting of the “classics” is the dashboard of the VAZ 2107, on which, in addition to the dial speedometer and tachometer, the following elements are installed:

a voltmeter showing the current voltage of the car’s electrical network;

dial gauge coolant temperature marked with white, green and red zones;

turn indicators and light signaling;

Check icon (for diagnosing engines with an injection ignition system);

light indicator of the minimum amount of fuel in the tank;

dial gauge of fuel level in the tank;

Onometer and daily mileage sensor.

A special feature of the “seven” dashboard is the presence of an econometer - a device that allows the driver to choose the optimal driving mode in terms of fuel economy.

Instrument cluster Lada . In Samaras, dashboards can be of two types: low and high. Their installation depends on the parameters of the installed torpedo and includes:

dial temperature sensor with graduation and digital designation of initial (50) and critical (130) temperatures;

voltmeter with minimum (8) and maximum (16) voltage graduations;

fuel level sensor with light indicator of the minimum gasoline level (0-1/2-1);

econometer with two-section scale (yellow-white);

odometer and trip meter;

light indicators for low battery, opening of the air damper, critical reduction in the level of brake fluid, activation of the brake brake, turn signals, high and side lighting, heated rear window.

Almost all cars of outdated models had a VAZ mechanical dashboard installed. The speedometer needle showed values ​​transmitted from the engine via a cable. The readings of the light indicators were directly connected to the sensors of the engine and other components and assemblies directly, through the electrical circuit of the car. Technical progress does not stand still and outdated mechanical-electrical panels are being replaced by more advanced and accurate electronic devices. The installation of electronic panels is primarily dictated by compatibility with many other electronic devices of a modern car, as well as the presence of on-board computers. For example, on VAZ Priora cars equipped with the latest electronic panels, you can conduct a self-test by pressing the speedometer reset lever and turning on the ignition. Thanks to this test, you can find out the correct operation of the dial indicators and liquid crystal display, and identify errors in the operation of engine sensors (indicated on the display in the form of numbers). Thus, the instrument panel turns from an element designed only to display current information into a tool for diagnosing vehicle systems. The first Lada dashboard with electronics was installed on the “ten”. The evolution also consisted in the fact that the dashboard of the Lada Priora was located entirely inside the car, although it was illuminated from the inside by lamps. All modern models and modifications of VAZ cars are equipped with electronic instrument panels with LED backlighting and LCD displays that display more than three dozen parameters.

What devices does the Priora panel show?

The instrument cluster on the Lada Priora looks like this, and it is somewhat different from the configuration of the Lada Kalina:

• tachometer;
• turn locks;
• scale of the device displaying the value of the fuel remaining in the tank;
• Priora engine temperature meter scale;
• indicators for connecting and switching off various machine systems;
• LCD display of trip computer;
• other indicators.

When a driver drives a Lada Priora (it doesn’t matter whether it’s a luxury class or an economy class), he has to look at the instrument panel under the glass from time to time to understand whether the car is working properly, when to stop to refuel, whether the turn signal is on, whether it needs repairs . In the event of a malfunction, an experienced car enthusiast will immediately notice the error on the unit, determine what exactly is not working and draw the appropriate conclusions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dashboard indicator symbols

When starting up, almost all the icons on the dashboard light up - this way the operation of the light bulbs is checked. Some drivers believe that these are messages about malfunctions of some Lada Priora systems.

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.

How to remove the instrument console in Lada Priora

If the old unit has become unusable, it becomes necessary to install a new console in the Priora. Follow the step by step instructions:

Remove 4 screws. If there is a radio, carefully dismantle it, remembering to remove the wires.

Pull out the cover and turn off the battery.

Unscrew the steering wheel with the switches.

The cover should be removed from the floor corridor by unscrewing the screws and dismantling the panel with instruments.

All that remains is to remove the nozzles and nuts, the safety console cover, the amplifier and disconnect the pads.

How to enable self-diagnosis of the instrument panel

Using the panel you can “dig into the brains” of the Priora:

1. Hold the button under the fuel gauge and turn on the ignition. The display should indicate the start of the test.
2. Press the button again. The display should show the operating system version.
3. Click again. The system should show error codes:

• (2) – High voltage level;
• (3) – DT malfunction;
• (4) – DTOZH malfunction;
• (5) – DTV malfunction;
• (6) – Motor overheating;
• (7) – Low oil level;
• (8) – Malfunction of the brake system;
• (9) – Battery discharge;
• E – Brain error, EEPROM.

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.
