Instrument cluster

1、Instrument cluster 仪 表 板 ngauge 仪表 nindicator lights 指示灯 nspeedometer 车速表 nodometer 里程表 ntachometer 发动机转速表 nheadlight 前灯 nAlso called instrument panel/ dashboard; nA panel on which there are gauges and indicator lights to keep the driver informed about the operating condition of the vehicle. nIf an

2、abnormal condition occurs, the driver is informed by the indicator lights and the driver can seek service before damage occurs. nA typical instrument cluster mainly has a tachometer（发动机转速表）, speedometer（车速表）, fuel gauge （燃油量表） and temperature gauge （温度表）. nTachometer（发动机转速表）: measure the speed of ro

3、tation of the engine, in revolutions per minute （rpm). 驾驶员可以通过该表了解 发动机的运转情况，并据 此决定挡位和油门的配合， 使车辆处于最佳运行状态， 减少油耗，延长发动机寿 命。 nSpeedometer （车速表）: measure the instantaneous speed of a car (瞬 时车速）. nOdometer （里程表）: record the distance travelled by a car on each tank of fuel; it is usually integrated with th

4、e speedometer 两个滚轮计数器，分别 累计本次里程(reset to zero) 和 总里程;它能帮 助车主掌握某段路程的 长短以及计算油耗等 trip meter 单 里程表 nFuel gauge （燃油表）: indicate the fuel level contained in a tank 1/1、1/2和 “0”分别表示满 油、半箱油和无 油，也有车型用 “F”表示满油； “E”表示无油 nEngine coolant temperature gauge （发动机冷却液温度表） measure the temperature of the engine coolant

5、 in degrees to monitor that the engine is not overheating. n显示冷却液温度的仪表，单位是摄氏度由于以 前汽车发动机都是用水来充当冷却液，所以又 称为水温表。现代汽车基本上都已用上了专门 的冷却液 Indicator lamps/lights 指示灯 Engine coolant temperature indicator light Low fuel level warning 低油位警 报灯 SRS airbag warning light ABS warning light 防抱 死制动系统警报灯 Anti-lock brakin

6、g system : prevent wheel lockup under heavy braking conditions on any type of road surface 防止车辆在路面 上因制动力过大而造成 的抱死现象. Safety belt reminder light Turn signal indicators Headlight high beam indicator Check engine warning light Charging system warning light 充电系统指示灯-显示蓄电池工作 状态的指示灯。接通电门后亮起， 发动机启动后熄灭。如果不亮或

7、 长亮不灭应立即检查发电机及电 路。 Homework n1. The heart of the air conditioning system is _. n A. compressor B. condensor C. evaporator D. accumulator n2.
