TFT Display
This TFT display has three interfaces:
Main interface
Diagnostic interface
Video surveillance interface
Main Interface
When in the main interface, the following information is displayed on the screen:
Diagnostic information
Trip mileage and cumulative mileage
Indicator icons
Pressure gauge
Vehicle operating status
Under normal conditions, the TFT LCD screen displays the following information, as shown in Figure 2 (the liquid crystal display interface can be customized)

Description: This tft cluster display battery total voltage, total current, motor speed, maximum single battery voltage, minimum single battery voltage, maximum battery pack temperature, minimum battery pack temperature, battery SOC status, pure electric driving mode, total cumulative mileage, short cumulative mileage, time, alarm icons, alarm text, etc.
Diagnostic Information
In the bottom blue area of the screen, diagnostic information is displayed in plain text. An icon is displayed before the information for quick identification of the information type. Diagnostic information is displayed item by item.
Trip Mileage and Cumulative Mileage
The trip mileage can be cleared through the menu and confirm button.
Battery Voltage and Charge Status Indicator
In addition to the 2 traditional pointer-type instruments, the TFT screen can add instruments to display battery voltage, air pressure, fuel level, etc. Information is displayed in the form of a bar graph or text, with eye-catching red for easy identification of voltage and fuel level.
Indicator Icons
In addition to the 15 warning indicators on the Koster color screen instrument panel, indicator icons (customizable) are also displayed on the TFT screen, as shown in Figure 8. Examples of warning icons are shown in Table 3.
