Dashboard Toyota Corolla

DASHBOARD

The following controls and instrumentation are located on the instrument panel. For ease of use, the handles, buttons and control devices located on the instrument panel are marked with symbols of their functional purpose.

1 - nozzles of the ventilation and interior heating system are designed to adjust the air flow from the heater, air conditioner or ventilation system. The direction of air flow is regulated by turning the deflectors in the appropriate direction.

At the bottom of the nozzles there is a handle for adjusting the amount of air supplied through them.

When the handle is turned all the way to the right, the damper opens completely (maximum air flow). When the handle is turned all the way to the left, the damper closes completely, blocking the air flow. By setting the handle to intermediate positions, adjust the amount of air flow.

2 - lever switch for outdoor lighting and direction indicators. The lever switches the following modes of operation of the switch:

​

– turning on direction indicators.

Move the lever up or down until the direction indicators turn on. When the lever is moved up or down, the indicator 10 or 7 flashes in the instrument cluster, respectively. When the steering wheel returns to the straight-ahead position, the lever automatically returns to its original position. When changing lanes, to turn on the direction indicator, it is enough to press the lever in the up or down direction only until there is a noticeable resistance, without fixing the lever. When released, the lever will return to its original position;

NOTE

The turn signal only works when the ignition is on.

– headlights on mode. 

To turn on the headlights, turn the handle A of the switch lever around its axis. In the headlights on mode, the switch can take two positions:

- everything is off;

– marker lights are switched on in the front and rear lights, as well as the illumination of the instrument cluster;

– the dipped beam is on. To switch the headlights from low to high, move the lever away from you. When the high beam headlights are switched on, the warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster  .

To signal high beam headlights, move the switch lever one position towards the steering wheel (the exterior light switch knob must be in position) and release.
