Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to check the operation of all warning lights on the instrument cluster as well as the needles of all the gauges on the onboard computer. There is an easy method to perform a general check of all indicators; all warning lights will illuminate simultaneously, and all gauge needles will move to confirm proper operation.

Press and hold the two buttons located at the base of the central panel of the rev counter, directly in front of the steering wheel. All lights will illuminate, the needles will reach their maximum position, and all LEDs will light up to verify proper functioning.

They will then turn off and return to their normal state.
