DASH DOOR CARD AND TRIM INFORMATION:
Items located on the dashboard at first included the steering wheel and the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster pictured to the right contains gauges
such as a speedometer, tachometer, odometer and fuel gauge, and indicators such
as gearshift position, seat belt warning light, parking-brake-engagement warning
light and an engine-malfunction light. There may also be indicators for low
fuel, low oil pressure, low battery, low tire pressure and faults in the airbag
(SRS) system. Heating and ventilation controls and vents, lighting controls,
audio equipment and automotive navigation systems are also mounted on the
dashboard.
The top of a dashboard may contain vents for the heating and air conditioning
system and speakers for an audio system. A glove compartment is communally
located on the passenger's side. There may also be an ashtray and a cigarette
lighter which can provide a power outlet for other low-voltage appliances.
Fashion in instrumentation
Stylised dashboard from a 1980s Lancia Beta
In the 1940s through the 1960s, American car manufacturers and their imitators
designed unusually-shaped instruments on a dashboard laden with chrome and
transparent plastic, which could be less readable, but was often thought to be
more stylish. Sunlight could cause a bright glare on the chrome, particularly
for a convertible.
With the coming of the LED in consumer electronics, some manufacturers used
instruments with digital readouts to make their cars appear more up to date, but
this has faded from practice. Some cars use a head-up display to project the
speed of the car onto the windscreen in imitation of fighter aircraft, but in a
far less complex display.
Manufacturers such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz have included fuel-economy gauges in
some instrument clusters, showing fuel mileage in real time. The ammeter was the
gauge of choice for monitoring the state of the charging system until the 1970s.
Later it was replaced by the voltmeter. Many vehicles have warning lights
instead of voltmeters or oil pressure gauges in their dashboard instrument
clusters.
