WILL THIS Pass????

Hi guys,

Maybe some know that i made a dashboard out of a small screen(touchpanel)

But as you all also know in need a brakefluid warning light wich has a symbol on it. Because of my layout of my dash i used leds to do this.

Because of the symbol needings and i don't think it will pass with the symbol near to it. i thought i could put some effort into it.

This is the result:
You have to imagine the thing blingking
and if driveing(speed bigger then 0) an audible warning is fired to! Hope it will pass with this!

p.s. the layout is just a BMP image from windows...so basicly if someone has a cooler design it can be build (as i'm interested in a couple of alternatives)

hmm well I like it but is it going to be classed as a warning light? they may also insist that it has to be red, not sure. I would have thought a man of your talent could have done a flashing one Rescued attachment dash.gif

SVA clearly states:

"check the hydraulic system is fitted with a red warning lamp"

and remians list as long as the failure exists (ignintion on).

your dispay is covered by the latter case.

it must be "labelled in a recognised form" - "on the illuminating surface" like you have it.

so if you screen does red, you are ok, otherwise fail.

nice idea btw - interesting non linear(?) rpm scale - 1-4-6-8-10-11-12

Would it matter that it obscures other info on the dash?

I should imagine it would be OK as long as a) it is red and b) it does not obscure the speed readout or any other mandatory display (turn signal tell-tale, high-beam warning?).

Either way it's not covered in the manual so will be up to the tester's discretion.

If you read my post i say that it blinks.....

about the log scale yupsz because i programmed every step i was able to use a log scale

If you drive and the alarm triggers i think you have something more important on your mind then a speedo reading...

anyway i can make it smaller sow the speedo keeps insight...

unfortunately the display isn't red....
but i do have an addional red light
near the display... but that light is a led and thats difficult to cover with a logo...
