The Dashboard (& Clock) of the Peugeot 404
So what do all those buttons and knobs do ? (R.
Ojany asked)
Here are a couple of dashboards with the proper explanations. Notice the
evolution over the years and models.
Nope, the first image is not backwards, but from
the English version of the Instruction Manual (4th edition I-64).
The
English is approximately correct but I've copied as written in the
manual.

Note : If the clock does not work here is a comment from Alastair Frizzell
"Given that most 404 - 504 etc. clocks stop after a limited number
of years I have found that often the problem is that the escapement spring
weakens and the occilation period is different from the electronic impulse.
They will go again if you readjust the dampener on the escapement spring
so that the natural escapement occilation best matches the electronic
impulse. (ie maximum occilation)."
