You will find a few useful segment from their online help section attached. If you need more information on the dash unit please refer to http://www.racetechnology.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware/DASH2 Quick Facts about your Dash: 1. Oil Pressure is displayed on the Home screen. The reading will either be a “1” or “0”. “1” means that everything is ok. The reading comes directly from the ECU with a sensor that provides Oil Pressure. Should the Dash display “0” you should shut the engine off. 2. Fuel measurement. This is shown on the home screen in a numerical fashion. 40 is Full & 0 is empty. The numbers relate to liters of fuel in the tank. The fuel tank holds 40 liters. 3. Gear Position is shown on the right side of the Dash; 1,2,3,4,5,6 4. Shift Lights. The car is equipped with shift lights that will illuminate on the top of the Dash. Atom 3 Atom 3S a. b. c. d. a. b. c. d.

In-vehicle control of the DASH2 functions is via a logical menu structure and four buttons: MENU, SELECT, UP, and DOWN. These allow the user to alter displayed units, switch between data screens, change button functions, and set or configure many other options. When in menu system display mode the actual function of the MENU/SELECT/UP/DOWN buttons is fixed, but their function during normal display mode can be programmed, for example, to provide shortcuts to frequently used features. The MENU button is used to switch between normal display and menu system display. This is the only button whose function cannot be changed. Figure 4 illustrates the structure of the menu system. The following sections describe the details and operation of each function. Resetting the trip meter To reset the trip meter, one of the programmable buttons (UP, DOWN, or SELECT) must be configured to perform the reset function. To set up a button to do this, see the section Programming soft buttons and assign a button to the “Trip reset” function. When this button is pressed in normal display mode the bottom section of the display will then read “trip reset”. Press any button to return to normal display mode with the trip meter reading zero.

Some want to do simple maintenance on their own, while others may leave it to the experts. Regardless of how in depth you want to get into the maintenance of your Atom, knowing where to position your jack to lift it is an essential task that everyone should know. So let us show you the best spots to lift your Atom for some simple maintenance. **Make sure to use a low profile jack that will clear the Atom’s chassis** Lifting the rear of the car: Be sure to position the jack on the left hand side of the car near the transmission on the rear most tube on the chassis. We place a thick cloth or towel folded over on the chassis to prevent scuffing the finish. (Cont.) Lifting the front: To lift the front on your Atom you should acquire a spacer to make sure the jack does not interfere with the body panels such as the puck style shown below. Position the jack center of the wishbone on the chassis tube in the front. Be sure you have enough space to clear the front body panel with the jack once you begin lifting the car. Note: A taller spacer may be required to clear the body panel on the Atom 3 (pictured right) While the steps may seem basic, we hope that this helps to make the ownership of your Atom even more enjoyable and easier to care for. Contact Information If you have any questions about your Ariel Atom, please contact: Ariel North America 1201 Industrial Park Rd.
