,Instrument Cluster组合仪表,Unit 13,All the signals that appear in our dashboard go through the instrument cluster first.The central control of all the output devices as well as the data sources.Configuration:Tachometer,Speedometer,odometer,fuel,temperature gauges,et al.,Introduction,Tachometer,Also called revolution-counter,rev-counter,or RPM gauge,which measures the engine speed.The speed information is very useful if our car has a manual transmission and we want to shift at the optimum RPM for best fuel economy or best acceleration.,Never race your car so fast that the tach moves into the red zone as this can cause engine damage.Some engines are protected by the engine computer from going into the red zone.,Speedometer,Displays the driving speed.,In the past,the speedometer was usually driven by a cable that spins inside a flexible tube.The cable is connected on one side to the speedometer,and on the other side to the speedometer gear inside the transmission.Today,just about all vehicles use an electronic sensor to measure the wheel speed and send the signal to a electronical driven speedometer.,Odometer,Odometer/Mileometer/Milometer.Indicates the distance traveled by a car.It is usually integrated with the speedometer.,Normally,the total travel distance number is shown in upper line and we cannot modify it.In the lower line,one travel or more travel distance can be measured and shown.We can press the reset button to return its number to zero.,EPC Indicator,EPC stands for Electronic Power Control.It means that there is something wrong with our cars electronic systems.,http:/,This could be a serious problem with one of our cars systems or could be as simple as bad wiring.(Especially if our cars have any added after-market components),Charging system warning,The lights come on every time we turn the ignition key to“ON”.After the engine starts and the alternator begins to charge,the light will go off.If the light stays on or comes on when the engine is running,have this system checked as soon as possible.,Slip indicator light,When the anti slip regulation is limiting wheel spin on a slippery road surface,the slip indicator should blink.,The slip indicator light should otherwise only come on for a couple of seconds as the computer goes through the system check during the startup sequence when we first turn the ignition switch to the“ON”position.If the slip indicator light does not come on for a couple of seconds or it stays on after startup,then something is wrong with the anti slip regulation and we should take it to our dealer for repair.,SRS airbag warning light,This light should never come on unless there is a fault in our vehicles air bag system.,Like the engine computer and ABS computer,the air bag control module runs a self-check every time the vehicle is driven.If it finds a fault in a crash sensor or the wiring,it will set a code and turn on the warning light and disable itself.We can drive the vehicle but the air bags will not deploy when we are involved in an accident.So we should have the problem diagnosed and repaired at our earliest convenience.,http:/,New words,Speedometer 速度计 Accessible 可达到的 Gauge 仪表 Odometer 里程表 Milometer 里程表 Mileometer 计程表 Tach 转速表 Charge 充电 Slippery 滑的，光滑的 Dealer 经销商,Correspond 符合，相应 Panic 惊慌 Adaptive 适应的 Navigation 导航 Buzzer 蜂鸣器 Illuminate 照明，照亮 Emission 排放（物）Headlight 前灯 Aerodynamic 空气动力学的 Tap 轻敲，轻打,Parking brake system indicator,Monitors the electro-mechanical parking brake.,The light comes on when the parking brake is set,and it comes on briefly when we turn the ignition key to“ON”.It normally goes off shortly after the engine starts and we release the parking brake.If the light stays flashing after the parking brake is set,it indicates the parking brake force is not enough to protect the vehicle from moving itself.,Exclamation Mark,Brake system warning light,It comes on for one of two follow reasons:We forgot to release the parking brakeThe brake system has a potentially serious hydraulic problem that may make the vehicle unsafe to drive.,http:/,ABS warning light,This warning light means the ABS has detected a fault in itself.,In this case,it temporarily disables the ABS.The vehicle should still brake and stop normally,but it will not has anti lock braking when making a sudden panic stop or braking on wet or slippery road surface.We should have the problem diagnosed and repaired at our earliest convenience.,CCS indicator,Cruise control system.The light comes on when we set the cruise control.,When we tap the brake or clutch pedal,or press the“SET”and“RESUME”buttons at the same time,the light on the instrument panel will go out and the car will begin to slow down.We can use the accelerator pedal in the normal way.,http:/,Low fuel level warning,Indicates the level of fuel contained in a tank is low and need to be added.Two main parts:the sender,which measures the level of fuel in the tank,and the gauge,which displays that level to the driver.The needle points to“F”indicating a full tank,while“E”indicating a empty tank.,http:/,Engine coolant temperature gauge,Measures the coolant temperature.It is very important to monitor the temperature to be sure that our engine is not overheating.If we notice the gauge is reading much hotter than the usual,have the cooling system checked as soon as possible.,Turn signal indicator,When we push the turn signal lever up before making a right turn,the right side arrow on the instrument panel flashes.Usually,it can turn off automatically after we turn our car.If the turn signal lights continue to flash after we have completed the turn,pull the level back to“OFF”.,Safety belt reminder light,As the ignition switch is turned to“ON”,the safety belt reminder light comes on for a few seconds,which reminds us of seat belt whether fastened or not.If not,the buzzer will sound and light stays on until we do it.,New words,Instrument cluster 仪表板 After market 售后市场 Wheel speed 轮速 Parking brake system indicator 驻车制动指示灯 Trip odometer 单里程表 Turn signal indicator 转向信号灯 Safety belt reminder

Engineering,Homework,Review the new words and expressions,Practice 1-10,西华大学,XIHUA UNIVERSITY,交通与汽车工程学院,Faculty of Transportation and Automotive Engineering,Thanks,Adaptive cruise control indicator,No car in front:means the ACCI is running as desired.A car in front:means the ACCI can keep the distance with the front one through acceleration or reduction automatically.Driver must take steps according to the condition:means the ACCI cannot meet the needs of the distance by braking force,so the driver should step the brake pedal to reduce auto speed.When the red indicator flashes,an alarm sound occurs.,
