IMPORTANT NOTICE!

You are now the owner of a comfortable, four-wheel drive vehicle. 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 4x4.

It is important, that you read this operation manual thoroughly before driving the vehicle.

This vehicle can be used on any type of roads, including dirt roads, or be driven off-road with the ambient temperature ranging from -40^ to +45^ .

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.

Performance of regular maintenance should be noted in the Service Book.

Use of materials listed in Appendix #1 while operating or servicing the vehicle is required.

Always remember that the fuel injection engine with a catalytic converter requires only unleaded fuel.

Never wash the vehicle with the engine running.

The engine is filled by manufacturer with oil grade SAE 10W-30 which is suitable for ambient temperature range from -25° to +25°C. If a new car is to be operated beyond the said temperature range, renew oil as recommended in Appendix 1 without waiting for the oil renewal time specified in a service book. In which case do not renew oil at 2,000-3,000 km.

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 DESCRIPTION

Vehicle Keys

Your LADA 4x4 has two sets of keys. Each set (Fig. 1) has two keys: the longer one is the ignition key and the shorter one is for the door locks. Each ignition key is identified by a series number engraved on the key ring tag. Cutting-off the tag will help you keep the number of your key secret.

A vehicle 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.

The doors have convenient arm-rests 5.

Rotate window winder 2 to slide window pane 1 up or down.

Tailgate

To open the tailgate, pull lever 1 (Fig. 4) to release the lock, then pull up the door by its handle 4. In the open position, the door is held by gas-filled telescopic struts 3. The luggage compartment is separated from the passenger area by parcel shelf 2 which can be used for storing small and light items.

WARNING!

Hood and boot door are sources of increased risk of injuries. Be careful closing them especially in case children are near.

Fuel Filler Cap

To access fuel filler cap 1 (Fig. 5), open flap 2 on the right-hand side of the vehicle. Cap can be opened by counter-clockwise turning. It is necessary to turn the cap clockwise off until occurrence of typical clicking sound.

Flexible lead eliminates the possibility to lose the cap while fueling the car and does not allow closing the cover if the cap is not turned off into fuel tank neck.

WARNING!

Petrol and its vapors are toxic and flammable! Observe precautions and fire regulations! Avoid contact of petrol with skin and clothes and do not breathe in petrol vapors. While fueling the car avoid contact of petrol with paint-and-lacquer coating and rubber parts.

Car refueling after automatic switch off of fueling tap or after petrol has appeared in the filler neck of a fuel tank in case of fueling with a tap not equipped with the system of automatic switch off is not allowed. Non-observance of this recommendation may lead to excess petrol outpouring when the car is at stand still.
