[INTRO & MUSIC]
Hi there smart drivers. Rick with Smart Drive Test
talking to you today about the
instrument panel on the vehicle. This is
for new drivers working towards getting
their license and starting driving. Now
just before we get started here: if
you're working towards the license or
starting a career as a truck or bus
driver, lots of great information here on
the channel. Make sure you hit that
subscribe button to get first notice to
all of the new videos as they come out.
Now instrument panel on the vehicle. This
is a new 2017 Nissan Murano. I rented
this car because I'm on a trip to
Toronto--actually I came down for a YouTube
conference. So I thought this is a great
opportunity to go over the instrument
panel because it's a newer vehicle and
this is what you're going to encounter
if you have a new vehicle or your
parents have a new vehicle or whoever's
vehicle that you're using. So this will
be a better representation of what most
of you are going to be driving. Now if I
miss anything or I don't go over enough
detail, leave a comment down in the
comment section there and I'll do
another video to provide detail or explanation
of one of the features on the vehicle
and give you more explanation of that
feature. So by all means, leave me a
comment and I'll be more than happy to
go over that for you and give you more
detail about certain features on the
vehicle. But today, basically what we're
going to do is we're going to go over
the controls that you need to know for
the purposes of driving the vehicle. In
other words, how to adjust the seat, how
to turn the lights on, how to turn the
windshield wipers on, how to operate the
controls. What's on the steering wheel,
the windows, the door locks, not so much
with the radio controls and the
telematics and the navigation system
that's here in the center of the screen.
That doesn't really--isn't really needed
for the purposes of learning how to
drive and preparing for a road test. So
we're not going to go over a great deal
of that. We will go over the heater controls
because if you're learning how to drive
when it's fall or spring or it's in the
wintertime, you're going
to need to work those controls because the heater
controls and the defrost controls to
keep the windows clear. Because one of
the major components of a road test is
observation. You're going to need to be able to
see. As well. we'll go over the
gear selector and show you how to work
that. The heated seats, how to start the
vehicle and those types of things. And
some of the airbag features and safety
features of the vehicle. And the glovebox
and whatnot, but for the most part it's
the controls that you need to know and
need to know how to operate for
the purposes of learning how to drive
and preparing for your road test. So
stick around, we'll be right back with
that information.
[INTRO & MUSIC]
Hi there smart drivers, welcome back. Rick
with Smart Drive Test talking to you
today about the control panel and the
features that you need to know for the
purposes of learning how to drive and to
prepare for a road test in a vehicle. As
I said at the beginning here, I am in
Ontario, Canada at my Mom's visiting. I rented a
car.
It's a 2017 Nissan Murano--actually it
was a happy day for me because the
rental company upgraded me from a
midsize to a full-sized vehicle. So this
is a full-size SUV and it's a brand new
vehicle. It's got all of the telematics
and new controls and features - and
intelligent key fob. You know it's a
keyless entry, as most of the new
vehicles are. They don't have keys.
One of the cons that I would
say is, they really need some place - a
specific place to set the key, because in
the old cars that actually had keys and
you turn the key in the ignition, the key
goes somewhere. Whereas in the newer cars
the keys don't go somewhere and
unfortunately the key fob is something
easy to lose. So the first thing - we're
going to start with - we'll start with the
driver's door. And the controls that are
on the door, these are fairly
straightforward Most new vehicles are
going to have electric windows. And
there'll be a switch for right and left
mirror. So you just move the switch to
the right or to the left,
whichever mirror you want to adjust. And
then it's a four-way control that will
adjust the mirror up-down left-right. And
again, I'll leave a video up here for you
for the 8 steps that you need to adjust
a new vehicle when you get into a new
vehicle. How to set it up for you so
you're comfortable to drive. And I'll
leave a card up here in the corner, so
make sure you check that out
for learning how to drive. Just turn the
key to the off position here because
it's beeping at me, as they do on a
regular occasion. So you've got the power
mirror control, you've got the door lock
on the door here, which most the time its
power and it's going to work off the key fob.
And it's just a lock and unlock symbol
on the key fob will lock and unlock the
doors. So most of the time, you're not
going to work this [POINTING TO THE LOCK NEAR THE DOOR HANDLE]. As well, on these
newer vehicles as soon as you
get over 10 kilometers now or 20
kilometers (10-15mph) an hour the doors will lock
automatically. And there's a couple
reasons for that: 1) one is to keep thieves
out; 2) and the other reason is that if you
can keep the doors closed in the event
of a rollover it maintains the integrity
of the vehicle. In other words, the
vehicle is stronger with the doors
closed then when they're open if the
vehicle is rolling over. And it's going
to better protect you in the event of a
crash. You can lock out the window
control. So the windows don't go up and
down. This is for the rear, if you've got
kids in the back, they can't have the
windows going up and down. So you can
lock that with that control. All four
windows: so on the driver side you'll be
able to roll up and roll down all four
windows. The one
other feature on this and most newer
vehicles will have this, is it has seat
adjustment presets. So what you can do is
adjust the seat to your liking. And
there's three controls on the side of the seat. This
is an electric seat.
So there's back, forward, tilt up and down.
So the seat will tilt up and up and down
like this, and then the back will go back
and forward. And then there's a lumbar
support on this seat as well, which is a
piece on the back of the seat that comes
out and supports the lower back if
you've got lower back pain. So you can
set all that up and then you can have
presets for two separate drivers. So
after you get it all set up, you push the
button and it'll automatically preset
for that person. If you need more
information about that, you can find that
in the owners manual. And there you can find more
information about that. That's what I was
trying to say... I got distracted there
because when I hit the button for the seat and it
started moving on me. The next one is the
windshield wiper....no, not the...
sorry, the headlights. So you've got OFF,
AUTO--the lights will come on
automatically, because there's a photo
sensor in the headlights. And so you turn
it to AUTO and you can just leave it and
the lights will go on and off by
themselves. You have the PARK lights. So
if you're sitting somewhere and your
parked, the two orange lights on the
front and the tail lights will be on - the
parking lights on the back. So that's
your parking lights. And then full lights,
and that's how you work that. There's
another switch on here for the fog
lights on the front. And that's separate -
that's located inside on the switch. And then once you have the
headlights on, you have high beams. You
push it away from you and then pull it
back for low beams - high beams, low beams. And at night
you need high beams, low beams. Now the
other thing you can do is you can flash
the high beams. You just pull it towards
you and you can flash the high
beams. And that's good for talking to
other vehicles if you want to move them
back and those types of things -
trucks and whatnot. So that's another
video. So that's the headlights. On the
other side of the steering wheel--and it
will vary. These will be on different
sides of the steering wheel
depending on whether you're in Europe
with you in North America. The other
thing on the headlights, which is the
turn signals. Down is left, and up is right. So
that way for the right, down is to the
left on this vehicle. And then on the
other side you have another switch. You
have this for the rear and forward front
windshield wipers. The outside of this switch
switch specifically is INTERMITTENT. So it
activates the wipers once in a while it goes on. And then ON
is full on for the rear windshield wiper
on the back. And then you pull it towards
you to spray windshield washer fluid on
the back. You push it away from you to
spray windshield washer on the front. And
then the front has the same, OFF,
INTERMITTENT, LOW and a HIGH setting. And
you simply--just instead of turning this
for the windscreen wipers on the front, you
push it down for INTERMITTENT, twice down
is on LOW, and then all the way down is
HIGH. And of course it'd better be
raining pretty hard if you're going to
need the wipers on a high [CHUCKLING]. Most of the time you're
not going to need it on a HIGH. All newer
vehicles are going to have a tachometer.
The tachometer indicates revolutions per
minute of the motor - how fast you're
actually revving the motor. So it's in
one, two, three, four. And all of those numbers are
times a thousand. So it's 1,000, 2,000,
3,000, 4,000. Now all tachometers are
going to have a red line on them. You do
not want to redline the motor okay. You
simply want to have it up 5,000, 6,000
rpm. If you are redlining it--which is the
top sort of 2,000 rpm--you don't want to
be doing that. So the other one is the
speedometer. Most vehicles are going to
be in miles per hour and kilometers an
hour. Now obviously in Canada, we're in
kilometers per hour. I believe in Europe
they're in kilometers per hour, and in
Australia. In North America, they're going
to be miles per hour. Now as well, you
have a temperature gauge for the motor. And you have
the fuel gauge. And also, most of the
newer vehicles are all going to have
warning lights on them - that if you run it
down below a quarter of a tank, there's
going to be a light that comes on that
tells you that it is down and the fuel
is low. And you should really put some
fuel on it. Now down here on the left
side, there's some more controls down
here as you can see in the image here.
One of them is for the dash lights and
how bright the dash lights are. And if
you're driving at night--and I'll put the
video up here in the corner for you on
night driving--try and have these down as
low as you can. Because that will
reduce fatigue when you're driving at
night, because it it draws on your eyes.
when you've got bright light there on
the dash. So you want to try and turn
those lights down at night and
really help to reduce fatigue and reduce
distraction at night. So that's here on
this vehicle. Sometimes it's on the dash
itself - there's a switch. Also there's the
trip set here, which is the tripmeter
which you can tell--you can set that to
zero--and it'll tell you how far you're
going to go for a trip. And most new vehicles will
have one or two tripmeters. And one of
them, you can track your fuel mileage, the
other one you can set for how far you're
going to go if you're doing business
trips and those types of things. So
that's the tripmeter. And then the
other thing this...[CHUCKLING] this vehicle actually--
talk about decadence--this one has a
heated steering wheel and heated seats.
So I was reading in the owner's manual that
the heated steering wheel will only work
if the temperature of the steering wheel
is less than 20°C or 68°F,
so if it's less than
that than the heated steering wheel will
work, but otherwise it won't work. So just
know that. The other one is what's called
the traction control. It has a different
name on the Nissan. I can't remember it, but it
is in the owner's manual - you can look it
up. But it's essentially traction control
that if you get into wheel spin in
slippery conditions ice and snow those
types of things the traction control
reduce power to the wheels and allow it
to get traction to move now you can turn
that off and on if you're in slippery
conditions and do need to give it some
throttle and really spin the wheels to
get it going and get it out of that deep
snow or mud or whatnot and then the
other switch down here is the tailgate
which simply opens the hatch back on the
back non tailgate it's the hatchback
rather and that's a power hatchback on
this vehicle that will open and close
the tailgate automatically now farther
down from that is the fuel cap lock
switch that will unlock the fuel cap and
as well as the hood latch so both of
those are down farther and again this
one on the fuel gauge has an arrow and
most of the newer vehicles will have an
arrow on the fuel gauge that will tell
you which side the fuel cap with the
fuel filler is on the vehicle so this
one that's on this side it's on the
driver's side so when you look at the
fuel gauge excuse me look for the arrow
and that will tell you where which side
the filler cap is on the vehicle
now write down on this one the parking
brake is not a hand parking brake on
this one it is a foot pedal so you push
it down it locked and then to get it
unlocked
you have to push it in a little bit
farther it will release and then let go
and come back up so that's how you
release that now I'm not going to talk
too much about the controls that are on
the steering wheel because essentially
we have the cruise control on the
steering wheel and there's another video
I'll put a card up in the corner for you
on cruise control you can look at that
video and it will explain the buttons
that you used and how to work cruise
control more thoroughly there's some
audio controls for the phone and those
types of things and again I advocate
that if you do have a fall and hook it
into the speaker system and that way
you're using hands-free system there's a
switch to move the information that the
dash displays for the air pressure in
the tires the distance for that you have
for fuel mileage which direction you're
traveling the speedometer there's a lot
of information there and all of that can
prove distracting and then there's the
volume control for the stereo on the
steering wheel so that's all of that
information and then the newer vehicles
all have these built-in on/off switches
for your garage door opener for those of
you have automatic garage door openers
you can program this so that those are
there up here you have some switches for
interior lights all of these most of
these newer vehicles will have a
sunglasses compartment here that you can
put your sunglasses in I guess you could
put your keys into there if you were
looking for a place to keep your keys
all of these will have Sun visors most
of the new Sun visors have a mirror a
vanity mirror and they will have a light
on the vanity mirror rear view mirror
again yes
okay so rear view mirror and there's
another switch on here I'll have to look
this up for you with all in there it's
unwise ER up here we went over the seat
controls the gear selector I'm going to
do another video on the gear selector
and I'll show you how to work the gear
selector the switches for the heated
seats are here as well if there's nobody
sitting in the passenger seat on this
vehicle it will detect that and the
light will come on here telling you that
the passenger airbag has been
deactivated because there's nobody in
the seat if there's somebody in the
seats
the airbag and the passenger side
doesn't have to deploy so that's why
that will come on as soon as somebody
sits in the seat and is a certain amount
of weight the airbag will deploy the
other reason that they have that is
because there has this be a certain
amount of a pressure on the seat in
other words if there's a child sitting
on the seat the airbag will not deploy
on the passenger side so the person has
to be of a certain size and a certain
weight before the airbag on the
passenger side will deploy and that is
the reason for that now the other piece
on this is I'll just turn the key to the
on position here so on/off and you have
the controls for the heat and defrost
and essentially what you have is you
have the forward and a rear defrost on
here increase the fan on/off and you can
push Auto as well and you can have
recycle or fresh air coming through the
cabin if you're working in the
wintertime or you just need it to heat
up more quickly one of the things you
can do is push the recycle button and
that will recycle the air in the cabin
and it will heat up faster so that's one
of the ways that you can do that the
other way that you can get the cabin to
defrost quick more quickly or get
moisture off the windshield is to turn
the air conditioning on while you have
the defrost on that will draw the
moisture out of the air with the air
conditioning system so that's the other
way you can do that and if you want to
see the video on cold starts here that
will explain that more detail you I'll
put a card up here for you in the corner
now when you start the vehicle op as I
said it has a Interest key fob if you
want to start the vehicle up I'll just
turn this off for a second if you push
the start button once and you don't have
your foot on the brake pedal it will go
to accessory so if I push that it will
go to accessory and you can sit and play
the radio and those types of things now
if I push it again it will go to the on
position when it goes to the on position
all the signal lights and warning lights
it does the systems check in the system
and everything comes on so that you can
hear the defroster and those types of
things are on now I'll just turn that
off and the third time I push it it'll
go off now if I want to start the
vehicle with the keyless inch or the
keyless ignition I have to put my foot
on the brake pedal soon as I put my foot
on the brake pedal and I push the button
now it'll start the engine
so now it started the engine the
tachometer and the speedometer will
cycle through and then it goes back on
now when the ignition is off the fuel
gauge will go to zero until you start
the motor the fuel gauge won't come out
so now it comes up to a half tank as you
can see here in the image that now that
all the gauges are working the
tachometer is showing you that the
engine is turning over a little bit more
than 1000 rpms per minute it's in
revolutions per minute in terms of how
fast the temperature gauge and those
types of things all of the warning
lights have gone out so the only thing
that's on now is the parking brake sign
and the seatbelt sign and there's
another warning light on here and I'll
have to look that warning light up for
you to tell you what that is so that's
essentially what the information that
you need to know for the controls on the
vehicle for getting starting to drive
and preparing to pass a license test and
those are the main controls that you
need to know now telematics and those
types of things all of that stuff you
can look up in the owner's manual but if
you want I can do another video on
telematics just put a comment down in
the comment section there and I'll be
sure to get that done for you quick
review of the instrument panel in
preparation to learn how to drive and to
pass a road test the primary controls
and the secondary controls these are the
secondary controls that you need to know
in order to be able to drive the vehicle
now most of the controls you're not
going to be using while you're driving
some of them you will be signal lights
windshield wipers windshield washer
fluid tachometer speedometer you're
going to be monitoring those gauges and
looking at those gauges you need to have
some idea of what the warning lights are
on the dash the warning light that I saw
when I turn the vehicle on was telling
me the passenger door is open because
the cameras sitting over there and the
door is open so that's what it was
telling me I looked it up in the owners
manual well we were transitioning to the
conclusion so that's what the warning
light was telling me these new vehicles
tell you everything so told me that the
passenger door was open uh so power
mirrors windows here on this side the
power door locks the presets for the
seat if you have an electric seat in
your vehicle the controls will be down
on the left side of the vehicle
backwards forward tilt the back headrest
again
look at the eight lessons on the card up
in the corner there that will show you
how to set up the vehicle headlights on
this side auto parking lights which are
the orange lights tail lights and then
full-on high beams low beams which is to
push it forward on this vehicle for your
high beams you can flash the high beams
and then left signal right signal this
side is the windshield wipers for the
front and windshield wipers for the back
both of them have intermittent as well
you can adjust the intermittent how fast
they're working if it's not raining
fully the controls for the cruise
control again look at the card up in the
corner here for cruise control you have
your controls for your audio how loud
your audio is and again make sure you
hook your phone into your stereo system
on your vehicle you have the information
on the dash lots of information with the
compass how much pressure is in your
tires all new vehicles have to have a
tire monitoring system that will tell
you how much air pressure is in your
tires so you can just flip through that
and figure that out there be a
tachometer on the left the speedometer
will be on the right the tachometer is
in revolutions per minute a temperature
gauge will tell you how hot the engine
is running and you get used to the
vehicle if it does go into the red make
sure you get the vehicle pulled over as
soon as possible and get it to a
technician if you need to figure that
out as well the fuel gauge most new
vehicles will have a warning to tell you
if you've got low fuel in the vehicle
and as you saw in the image here you can
see that as soon as they start the
vehicle up the parking brake and the
seatbelt sign will come on to tell me
that I need to disengage the parking
brake before I leave and I need to put
my seat belt on for purposes of safety
heater controls you only know how to
work that set up your mirrors and again
that's in the 8 steps of setting up a
vehicle for you so for both for comfort
and for being able to control the
vehicle make sure you wearing your seat
belt while you're driving because in the
event of a crash or a likely crash the
seat belt will keep you in the seat
tough to control the vehicle if you're
not in the seat so wear your seatbelts
for that purpose and in the event of an
impact it will also protect you in the
event of an impact and reduce injuries
you'll have to know how to work the
heater controls particularly if you're
in the spring the fall you get a cold
day and those types of things because
you're going to have to defrost windows
because of part
of defrosting the windows because
observation is one of the keys to being
able to see up here you have interior
lights your sunglasses and those types
of things power windows and all of that
you have the hatchback traction control
presets and your lights on your dash and
again when you're driving at night lower
the lights on the dash that way it's
going to reduce fatigue and reduce the
strain on your eyes and you'll be able
to last longer at night and there isn't
as much distracted driving again have a
look at the video on night driving up
here in the corner so that's the basic
control panel of the vehicle as I said
most of them are all going to be keyless
entry so you've got to keep track of the
fob it has to be within a certain
distance of the vehicle for you to be
able to start and the starter button on
these if you push it once it'll go to
the accessory so if you're sitting
around waiting for somebody at the store
or whatnot you can turn it on accessory
and you can play the radio and those
types of things the next one will turn
it to the on position where it'll cycle
through and all the electricity will be
going to the battery and those types of
things and then if you actually touch
the brake pedal and push the button
it'll actually start the motor those are
the basic features that you need to be
able to drive the car and to operate
those controls while you're driving the
vehicle now if you're not familiar with
the newer vehicle get used to where the
controls are and those types of things
before you take off and again make sure
you look at the eight steps to setting
up the vehicle for learning how to drive
and passing a road test question from my
smart drivers was there anything in the
video here that I didn't go over that
you want more detail on leave a comment
down in the comment section there all of
that helps out the new drivers working
towards their license if you like what
you see here share subscribe and comment
down in the comment section as well if
the thumbs up button check out all the
videos here on the channel if you're
working towards a license or starting a
career as a truck or bus driver lots of
great information here as well head or
website awesome information over there
and online courses that you can purchase
later this month we're bringing out
airbrakes explained simply it's for
drivers operating commercial vehicles
that are equipped with air brakes truck
bus or RV unit step-by-step instructions
that update the 40 year old air brakes
currently in circulation in North
America as well there's no less than 100
CDL questions practice
multiple-choice questions that you be
asked on a CDL exam so look for that
