Hello, Truck Friend!
When you drive a big truck, you see many lights, dials, and buttons. You might wonder, “What does it all mean?” Your truck dashboard is not just for show. It is your helper on the road. It keeps you safe, helps your truck run well, and lets you know what’s going on.
Мы в CLW GROUP make trucks just for you. We help you choose the right truck, build it for your needs, and help you after you buy it. If you want to know more, go see our завод специальных грузовых автомобилей.
What Do You Need From Your Dashboard?
You need to know three things:
- Is your truck safe to drive?
- Is everything working right?
- What should you do when a light comes on?
Let’s learn how your dashboard keeps you safe and your truck happy.
What You See on the Dashboard
Your dashboard shows:
- Gauges (like big clocks with needles)
- Warning lights (like little red or yellow pictures)
- Control switches (buttons or levers)
- Driver Information Display (DID) (a screen with numbers and info)
Let’s Meet the Gauges
Your dashboard shows gauges for:
- Speedometer: Shows how fast you go
- Tachometer: Shows how hard your engine is working
- Fuel Gauge: Shows how much fuel you have
- DEF Gauge: Tells you about diesel exhaust fluid
- Oil Pressure Gauge: Shows if your engine is happy
- Coolant Temperature Gauge: Tells if your engine is too hot
- Air Pressure Gauge: Very important for your brakes!
- Voltmeter: Shows if your battery and electricity are okay
- Transmission Temperature Gauge: Helps you know your gears are cool
Most trucks like those from Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, Mack, и International have these. Want to haul heavy things? See our алюминиевый грузовик бортовой options.

Driver Information Display (DID): Your Digital Helper
Modern trucks have a small screen, the DID. It shows:
- How far you drove
- How much fuel you’re using
- Messages if there is a problem
- Codes for mechanics (diagnostics и fault codes)
- Hours you have driven (Electronic Logging Device—ELD)
- Service reminders
You can flip through menus with buttons on your wheel or dash.
Cool New Things on Modern Dashboards
Today, trucks have even more clever helpers:
- ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems):
- Lane Departure Warning
- Collision Warning
- Blind Spot Monitor
- Digital Dashboards: All info on a screen
- Connected Dashboard: Shows GPS, reports, and controls for the truck
We build trucks with the latest tools, so you stay safe and smart on the job.
