The Lada Granta instrument panel is specially designed to monitor all kinds of parameters and data while driving. Any such panel should be as informative as possible, functional, in addition, create a unique design of the car and contribute to the creation of a pleasant impression of it. The dashboard of the Lada Granta is no exception. Its goals are to reflect driving parameters, inform about the performance of systems designed to ensure maximum safety on the road, and about the technical condition of all elements of the car.
Description and location of indicators and instruments on the panel
Designation of indicators on the dashboard
First, let's look at the description; the Lada Granta instrument cluster, the diagram of which is shown above, includes the following components:
- Tachometer, this sensor allows you to find out what the crankshaft rotation speed is at the moment.
- Indicator of malfunctions in the operation of the internal combustion engine control system.
- Left turn signal.
- Engine fluid pressure sensor. If it lights up after starting the engine, you need to check the oil level in the unit; if it is too low, there may be a leakage problem.
- Anti-lock braking system indicator.
- Light bulb of the standard anti-theft system - immobilizer. This unit is designed to block the engine from starting in the event of unauthorized entry into the car.
- The antifreeze overheating indicator in the cooling system appears if the engine temperature reaches 115 degrees.
- A light that turns on if the control unit has detected an emergency condition of the brake system. As a rule, its appearance is due to a lack of brake fluid in the reservoir.
- Right turn signal.
- Low battery indicator.
- Speedometer, the needle of which corresponds to the speed limit at which the car is moving. The speed sensor, which displays this information on a scale, is mounted on the gearbox housing.
- Indicator for turning on the exchange rate control system.
- Upshift prohibition lamp (as a rule, not used).
- This indicator appears when the high beams are activated.
- Symbol for turning on the rear fog lights.
- Lamp for low beam lighting.
- Front fog light activation indicator.
- A button designed to reset the daily mileage.
- LCD screen that displays data about the last trip, in particular, mileage. Depending on the vehicle configuration, the data displayed on the screen may differ. In general, the display can display time, mileage, outside air temperature, on-board computer options, fuel volume, as well as information in the form of hints regarding gear shifting.
- Indicator of unlocked doors in the car.
- Symbol of reserve fuel remaining in the tank.
- This indicator appears when the tire pressure is insufficient.
- Signal lamp for EUR operation. If it lights up when the engine is running, then most likely there are problems with the electric power steering system.
- This symbol illuminates when the seat belts are not fastened.
- Engine fault indicator, in most cases not used.
- Airbag status symbol. It always appears after turning on the ignition, since the system is in testing mode. If it continues to light after starting the power unit, this may indicate a problem with the system, so you need to contact service. If this indicator is on, then in the event of an accident the airbag either will not deploy, or it may deploy at the wrong moment while driving, which could be even worse (author - Lada Granta Fan channel).
How to set it up
If all the above switches are successfully found, you can begin setting the time. The clock in the car of this model is adjusted in several stages, step by step. Here are the steps you will need to take:
- To begin, you should either turn the ignition on and off, or turn on the side lights. It is advisable to do this so that the liquid crystal display on the control panel begins to be better illuminated and the mileage and time indicators become more visible.
- For further actions, you will need a screen mode that displays the total mileage of the car, so before setting the time, you should make sure that the display does not show the daily mileage.
- If necessary, we reset the daily mileage by quickly pressing the corresponding button once. Check that the screen should be in the mode when the letters “ODO” (odometer or flow meter) are lit on it.
- Next, press the same button, but now it should be held for approximately two to three seconds - until the clock face on the liquid crystal display flashes. This allows you to enter directly into the time setting option.
- After this, on the right steering column switch, which controls the operation of the wipers, you need to find a push-button switch that regulates the indicators on the LCD screen. Use the switch to set the current time of day. It should not be forgotten that the “up” button is intended to adjust the hours, and the “down” button is used to set the minutes. If you accidentally skipped the number you need, you won’t be able to go back; you still need to press “forward” and scroll another circle to the required value.
- When the correct time is set, press (without holding) the daily mileage reset button again. When pressed, the LCD should exit time setting mode.
- If you turned on the side lights before setting the clock, turn them off.

Setting the exact time on the Lada Granta is complete.
As can be concluded from the above, setting the clock on the VAZ-2190 is not difficult. A step-by-step description of how this is done is also in the car's operating instructions, but it is very difficult to find it there.
Possible faults
If everything is clear with the description, then let’s move on to the malfunctions. Like any other electronic component, the Lada Granta instrument panel is also susceptible to various malfunctions.
What kind of breakdowns can occur in the operation of the control panel:
- The tidy is broken. If the shield fails, there can be quite a lot of symptoms. For example, only some or all of the devices will refuse to work. If this is the case, then the problem in this case may lie either in the power supply of the device or in its board. It is better to entrust repair problems to specialists.
- The tidy is glitchy. For example, all doors are closed and the unlocked door indicator is on, or the optics are not turned on, but the corresponding light on the dashboard is flashing. As a rule, in this case the problem lies precisely in the board (of course, if the sensors are working). If the problem is in the board, then flashing the dashboard firmware can solve it, but this option does not always help. It is possible that the electrical equipment lights are on on the dashboard due to a faulty sensor, so it would be a good idea to check its functionality.
- All devices work, but there is no backlight. If all the backlight bulbs do not work at once, then most likely the problem lies in a blown fuse or a damaged wire or connector. Checking the wiring is done using a multimeter.
- Only part of the light bulbs or one of them does not work. In this case, the malfunction consists of a burnt-out lamp; to eliminate it, the instrument panel in the Lada Granta is dismantled, after which the burnt-out lamps in it are replaced.
- The equipment indicator on the dashboard does not turn on. For example, you turn on the high beams, but the corresponding light does not light up. This may be due either to a failure of the indicator itself (the lamp is changed in the same way), or to a breakdown of the sensor. It is quite possible that there is poor contact between the light bulb and the wiring.
- Speedometer failure. The cause of the malfunction may lie in the board or speed sensor installed on the device. The situation is similar with sensors - fuel level, engine temperature. If they do not work or show incorrect values, then the problem should be looked for in the controllers themselves, wiring or board. It is possible that the devices are not working simply due to poor contact.
How to set the clock?
There is a button on the dashboard behind the steering wheel to reset the daily mileage. To enter the clock settings, you need to hold it down for a few seconds. You need to hold it until the clock numbers start flashing. That's it, we went to setting the clock.
To set the correct time, press the buttons on the wiper lever (there are two buttons on the edge - they also serve to scroll through information from the display - hours/total mileage/consumption). The top button adjusts the hours, the bottom button controls the minutes. Press the button as many times as you need to set. If you have passed the desired number, you need to press until you come back to this number in a circle.

If for some reason you can’t set it up, or even enter the setup, try turning the ignition on and off.
This is a simple way to adjust the time on the Lada Granta.

Almost every car owner who has become the proud owner of a Lada Granta car has probably encountered the problem of setting the clock on the instrument panel when leaving the car dealership. The clock is displayed at the top of the LCD panel, and these numbers are noticeably larger than the others. What would you like to advise in this situation? You can refer to the vehicle's operating instructions. This information is there, but it is difficult to find it there.
Dismantling instructions
To dismantle the device, you must follow the instructions:
- First remove the cover of the fuse box located to the left of the steering wheel.
- Unscrew the three bolts securing the plastic lining of the control panel.
- Dismantle the lining itself, and then unscrew four more bolts of the tidy. Pull it towards you.
- Next, squeeze the connector with the wires and disconnect it from the control panel.
- Dismantle the unit and repair or replace it. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
1. Remove the cover from the unit.
2. Remove the tidy trim.
3. Unscrew the bolts and remove the shield.
"Multitronics" - is it a universal alternative?
Thanks to the ability to be fixed in different places on the panel, the Multitronics on-board controller is able to act as a serious competitor to the State. Having a 32-bit processor in its arsenal, this device processes and displays information with enviable speed and clarity. This allows the car to be under the watchful control of the “pilot”, since the computer has the following convenient functions:
- a large number of protocols for diagnosing systems, including in advanced mode;
- the ability to transfer and save statistical data on the movement of a car to a medium on a personal computer;
- voice option;
- parking radars, etc.
The entire specified list of functionality that a standard computer has has been added to the optional list of “Multitronics”. The latter are favorably positioned due to the simplicity of setup manipulations and the ease of “communication” with the interface. This causes a higher cost for these devices compared to the price of a standard computer.
Initially, it was only possible to buy an on-board computer for the LADA Granta in the official sales network of AvtoVAZ.” Since sales of LADA Granta started in 2011, the devices discussed here were unavailable to consumers for some time. This fact caused a slight decrease in the popularity of the AvtoVAZ model.
But now the situation is radically different, since the availability of such a thing as an on-board computer for LADA Granta is unconditional. You can purchase the device both in the dealer network and from individual trading entities that sell auto products for this purpose.
