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.
Avehicle fitted with the anti-theft
system (immobilizer*) also has 3 key
fobs: 2 black key fobs for daily use, and
1 red key fob for immobilizer learning
purposes.
DOORS
Press button 1 (Fig. 2) or pull handle
1 (fig. 3) or 4 (Fig. 4) to open a vehicle
door. When the lock is engaged, han-
dles will move freely without any effect
on the lock.
Front doors
Use key 2 (Fig. 2) or press button 3
(Fig. 3) to lock a door only when it is
closed.
Use handle 2 to wind the door win-
dow up or down. Some vehicles feature
power windows controlled by switches
7. Extra switch 6 on the driver’s door
armrest controls the front RH door win-
dow.
The front door features speaker bay
1 located under trimming 5 of the odds
compartment.
Rear doors
The rear doors (Fig. 4) have the
lock, which can be engaged by
depressing button 1, regardless
whether the door is open or closed.
Shift lever 2 to extreme lower posi-
tion to partly engage the lock. In this
case, the door can be opened only

es, thus providing further vehicle protection against unauthorized use.

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
outside in the event of an accident.
Do not open the doors violently or
leave them open at a parking place
exposed to strong wind to avoid their
deformation.
During cold seasons when ice or
snow may cover the windows hamper-
ing their movement, do not apply
excessive force to wind the windows for
it may damage the mechanism.
Tailgate
To open the tailgate, first unlock it
using a key, then depress button 1 (Fig.
5). The tailgate is held open by tele-
scopic struts 3. Remove parcel shelf 4
to clear access to the luggage com-
partment.
BONNET
To open the bonnet, pull handle 1
(Fig. 6), then lift the bonnet, and reach-
ing through the gap, depress hook 1

(Fig. 7). Now open the bonnet full way
and set up stay 2 as shown in the fig-
ure. If exterior illumination is on, lamp 3
will light up the engine bay. Rotate the
lamp holder to redirect the light.
When closing the bonnet, check a
reliable locking — a typical click should
be heard and the bonnet should remain
closed, when pressed upon. Before
closing the bonnet, make sure the safe-
ty hook moves freely without jamming
and always returns to its home position.
BOOT LID

ing it in this position lift boot lid 1. The
boot lid is held open by torsion springs.
When the boot lid is up and the exte-
rior lights are on, the luggage compart-
ment is illuminated with lamp 3.

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.

the front seats, pull up locking lever 1
(Fig. 11, 12). With the seat in the
desired position, release the lever, and
moving the seat slightly back and forth,
make sure, it has been reliably fixed.
