IMPORTANT NOTICE !
You are now the owner of a comfortable passenger car that is distinguished for its
improved dynamics and speed characteristics. Regardless of your overall driving experience
we recommend you to be particularly careful during the initial period of vehicle operation
until you become familiar with your new Lada.
It is important, that you read this operating manual thoroughly before driving the vehicle.
The vehicle can be used on any type of roads except deeply rutted dirt roads.
The performance and reliability of your vehicle depend to a large extent on its correct use
and timely and thorough execution of servicing operations described in the Service Book.
In case your vehicle needs servicing or repair, we recommend that you take it to your
dealer’s station, which has necessary equipment and tools and can ensure professional stan-
dard of workmanship.
Use materials listed in Appendix #1 while operating or servicing the vehicle. Always
remember that a fuel injection engine with a catalytic converter requires only unleaded
fuel.
Never wash the vehicle with the engine running to avoid water coming into cylinders and thus
damaging the engine.
The design of the vehicle is subject to continuing improvement, therefore, some of the
component parts may differ from the descriptions, provided in the present manual.

VEHICLE KEYS
Each car has two sets of keys. Each
set (Fig. 1) has two keys: one with plas-
tic grip is the ignition key, one with
metal grip — door and boot key. The
number of the ignition key is shown on
the key ring tag. Cutting off the ring tag,
or replacing the ring will help you keep
the number of your key private.

from outside, with button 1 fully up. We
recommend you to use the lock in this
manner when there are children on the
rear seat.
The rear door window can go only
part way down when you use window
winder 3.
Some vehicle options include central
door locking system, which may be
engaged by locking the driver’s door
with a key or by depressing its lock
knob. The doors can be unlocked indi-
vidually by pulling up respective but-
tons.
It is not recommended to interlock
the doors while driving the car to
ensure the doors can be opened from

a torque limiter, intended to ensure a
reliable cap-to-filler neck sealing.
The cap should be tightened until
the torque limiter starts to click.
Some vehicles feature fuel tank
caps connected to vehicle body by
means of a flexible cable. This ensures
that the cap does not get lost while fill-
ing in, it also does not allow you to
close flap 2 when the filler neck is not
closed with the cap.
Vehicles with a catalytic converter
feature filler neck 2 (Fig. 10) with built-
in valve 3, which makes it possible to
use a smaller size fuelling nozzle to fill
in unleaded gasoline.
SEATS

pant, sitting in the middle of the rear
seat, has a lap belt only.
Do not use the belt to restrain a child
sitting on the passenger’s lap.
If the belts are dirty, clean them with
soft soapy water. Never iron the seat
belts. The seat belt is subject to
mandatory replacement if it was sub-
jected to critical loads in a road acci-
dent or is chafed, torn or otherwise
damaged.
Some models are available with an
airbag in the steering wheel being rec-
ognized by an inscription «AIRBAG»
on the steering wheel cover plate. The
airbag is designed as an additional pro-
tection, along with the seat belt, to the
driver’s safety during an accident. The
airbag is triggered at the head-on colli-
sion.
The airbag is a reliable mainte-
nance-free, self-contained unit of dis-
posable type. In order to ensure maxi-
mum protection and reduce possible
injuries during an accident, do not stick
any labels or fit any accessories to the
steering wheel. During inflation of the
airbag a small amount of powdery sub-
stance is emitted. This powder,
although harmless to health, may
cause skin or eye irritation. In case of
exposure to such powder wash the
eyes with water and clean the skin with
neutral soap. After the airbag trigger-
ing, do not touch the centre of the
wheel or cut off the airbag to avoid cuts
and burns. Replacement of the airbag
should be entrusted to your dealer. The
seat belts, exposed to critical loads,
must be replaced along with the airbag.
MIRRORS AND INTERIOR
Use knob 2 to adjust exterior
rearview mirror 1 position (Fig. 16).
Some vehicles are equipped with elec-
trically-operated door mirrors.
Interior rearview mirror 2 (Fig. 17) is
adjusted by rotation on the pivot ball. To
avoid dazzling by the lights of upcom-
ing traffic change the mirror angle using
lever 1.
Some vehicles are equipped with an
antidazzle mirror, which does not have
a lever and cannot be adjusted.

optionally feature a vanity mirror.
The interior light (4) goes on auto-
matically as the vehicle door opens
(courtesy light) and goes off 10 sec-
onds after the door closing or after the
ignition key is switched to the «Ignition»
position.
When the doors are closed the inte-
rior light can be switched on/off by
pushing its lens at the side.

then a full sway, the clock/temperature
LCD reads «test», the daily/total trip
LCD displays 10123456789 in a creep-
ing line, and the fuel reserve tell-tale
illuminates.
• In case any of the instruments
reads an input signal (e.g. the engine is
running), the instrument cluster will
complete the test as per 2.1 and
resume its normal operation.
• In case of no input signals to the
cluster, the gauge pointers sway
halfway several times, then sway full
way, the clock/temperature LCD reads
«test», the daily/total trip LCD displays
10123456789 in a creeping line, and
the fuel reserve tell-tale illuminates.
• In case of over- (16 V and higher)
or undervoltage (below 8 V) the gauge
pointers freeze until the fault is

Warning! Some vehicle modifica-
tions may have no coolant level indi-
cator.
4 — door ajar LED.
Lights up in red when a door is ajar.
5 — stoplight or side-marker
lights failure LED.
If the stoplight bulb is faulty the LED
lights up in orange when the brake
pedal is depressed. Also lights up if a
faulty side-marker bulb is activated.
6 — front brake pad wear indica-
tor.
Lights up in orange when the brake
pedal is depressed if the brake lining
thickness is reduced to 1.5 mm. Goes
off at ignition switch-off.
7 — seat belt reminder LED.
Optional. Lights up in red if the dri-
ver’s seat belt is not fastened.
Modes of control module
The control module has the follow-
ing modes:
— OFF;
— stand-by;
— start-up functional check;
— parameter check.
The module is OFF if there is no key
in the ignition switch. With the ignition
key in the «0» (OFF) position the mod-
ule enters the stand-by mode. If the dri-
ver’s door is open, «Key left in the igni-
tion lock» error is generated and an
intermittent beep sound is heard for
about 5-7 seconds. To stop beeping,
close the door, remove the key or turn
it to position «I» (Ignition). With the key
in this position, the module enters
«Start-up functional check» mode. In
this mode all the visual and sound
alarms are activated for 3-5 seconds.
Then, after a second’s pause, the mod-
ule enters «Parameter check» mode
and in the event of any failures, the
alarm is indicated as follows:
— LED of the failed parameter flash-
es for 5-7 seconds, then illuminates
continuously until the problem is fixed
or the ignition key is returned to posi-
tion «0» (OFF);
— Beep sound for 3 seconds (simul-
taneously with the LED);
— if another problem occurs at the
same time, the latest problem will have
higher priority and its LED will start
flashing and a beep will be heard, the
LED of the previous fault illuminates
continuously.
Important!
The on-board control system displays
oil level with a 10 minute delay. This
delay is activated after the engine is
stopped if the ignition key remains in the

switch. It is required to allow the oil to
drip into the sump. During the 10 minute
delay the on-board control system indi-
cates oil level as of the moment preced-
ing the engine stop. If you remove the
ignition key, the oil level reading is reset.
In this case an attempt to restart the
engine within 10 minutes may cause
false low oil level alarm, which should
not be considered as an indication of the
lubrication system failure.
TRIP COMPUTER
Fig. 22 shows a trip computer, which
may be fitted on some vehicles. It is
designed to take, store and display the
following parameters:
— fuel consumption (current, aver-
age, total);
— average speed;
— trip kilometers;
— current time;
— run time.
Depress the START button at the
beginning of a trip to reset all parame-
ters except current fuel consumption
and current time. Depress a relevant
button to display one of the following
parameters:
Current Time («H» button) — indi-
cates hours and minutes. Maximum up
to 23 h 59 m.
Depress button «h» or «m» below
the START button to adjust hours or
minutes. Depress and hold down a but-
ton to continuously increase the read-
ing by 2 hours (minutes) per second.
Depress the START button to reset
minutes and seconds to zero.
Current Fuel Consumption
(«MOM.» button) — indicates fuel con-
sumption in L/100 km at a speed high-
er than 10 km/h, or in L/h at a speed
below 10 km/h.
Average Fuel Consumption
(«L/100» button) — indicates fuel con-
sumption in L/100 km starting from the
moment when the START button was
depressed.
Total Fuel Consumption («L» but-
ton) — indicates fuel consumption in
litres starting from the moment when
the START button was depressed and
up to 624.9 L.
Trip Kilometers («KM» button) —
indicates trip kilometers starting from
the moment when the START button
was depressed and up to 999.9 km.
Average Speed («KM/H» button)
— indicates average speed starting
from the moment when the START but-
ton was depressed, less the time when
the vehicle was stopped with ignition
off.
