Iron Crowned posted:I only discovered in the last 5 or so years that the warning lights are color coded. Red is bad, yellow/amber is get it checked at some point. Blinking of either means you're hosed. all of this is vehicle/manufacturer specific and is clearly laid out in the owners manual.

Mr. Nice! posted:all of this is vehicle/manufacturer specific and is clearly laid out in the owners manual. I have never seen the color code laid out in the owners manual, and it's always a scavenger hunt to figure out what the lights mean, because they're compiled by some sort of morlock who has no comprehension as to how to organize things so a human can find it easy. Also no one reads the owner's manual.

"i just bought the most expensive thing i will ever own other than maybe a house. when used improperly it's easily capable of killing people, including myself. it has thousands of moving parts and is unquestionably more complicated than the last one of these i owned. but i think i can just figure it out on the fly" Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jan 12, 2022 |

should I read the entire manual or is it ok for me to skip the part where it tells me how to change the tilt angle of my seat. I wouldn’t want to figure things out on the fly if that’s going to be unsafe. should I practice replacing the battery on my keyless fob or is it ok to just note that there are instructions and privately resolve not to figure it out on the fly once the battery does die

Sagebrush posted:you're stupid if you don't. though it is a massive endorsement of both the intuitive design and regulations surrounding car manufacture and operation (i.e. driver's licenses) that people can really buy one and not give a single thought about any "manual" that is not related to the type of transmission also, this is what people do when they buy houses, too

my 2017 husqvarna 701 had an engine oil light, and EFI light that's it. that thing had a super basic cluster. i couldn't even see the revs. i guess it's that way with enduros though.

Sagebrush posted:I know what they mean, but honestly it is kind of amusing to me that this speedometer is always the example they give of a critical instrument. It's like the least important instrument on your dashboard. my first car was a mid-80s chevy cavalier. the two and only two gauges on the dash were the speedometer and the fuel gauge. everything else was a warning light Sagebrush posted:Apparently that's why cars don't come with ammeters these days, too, even if you have one fancy enough to still have electrical system gauges. Ammeters show the real time state of your electrical system, so they bounce all over the place when the car is starting, wiggle up and down in time with the windshield wipers, and rise and fall with engine speed. This is useful information -- and totally normal -- if you know what it means and are trying to keep an eye on how well your car's electrical system is performing, but apparently seeing the gauge move so much made less knowledgeable people angry because they thought the car was broken. yeah i remember my 96 ford tbird had an oil pressure gauge, but it didn't report the actual oil pressure, it was just pegged to middle unless the oil pressure fell below a critical threshold, then would drop to zero and light the oil pressure warning light. my 97 buick lesabre actually shows oil pressure though.

The switch to heat pumps was to gain some additional efficiency vs resistive heating, so in a sense this is a resounding success since there’s no parasitic drain on the battery from running the heat if the car doesn’t have heat.
