    Ammeter/voltmeter
    This gauge shows when the battery is being charged or discharged.

    Fuel gauge

    Warning light
    Most vehicles are equipped with warning lights to notify the driver of problems with certain operating systems on the vehicle. If a light is illuminated, consult your vehicle operating manual.

    Airbags
    Airbags are built into steering wheels, dashboards and in the sides of some vehicles. They launch automatically when there’s a very fast deceleration such as a crash. They give drivers and passengers extra protection, especially during head on and side impact crashes.
