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 -40C to +45C. 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 + 25C. 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.

Engine Start
Notes For Starting Injection Engines
1. Depress the clutch pedal and shift the gearchange lever into neutral position. 2. Insert the key in the ignition switch and activate the starter motor. If the first attempt to start the engine fails, switch ignition off, and in 20-30 seconds reactivate the starter motor. It is not recommended to keep the starter motor running for more than 10-15 seconds. Do not depress the accelerator pedal while starting the engine. When the engine is difficult to start (the combustion chambers are flooded with fuel) push the accelerator pedal all way down and turn ON the starter for 10-15 seconds to purge the cylinders, then release the accelerator pedal and start the engine following the normal procedure. May have feature of automatic starter motor switch-off after 20 seconds of continuous running (overheat protection). After the engine start-up, release the ignition key, which will return to position I automatically (Fig. 19). As soon as the engine runs steadily, smoothly release the clutch pedal. When the ambient temperature goes below -25C, or during heavy snow we recommend to cover the grill in the bumper with an apron to improve engine warm-up and maintain its thermal balance.

Cold Start
Recommendations presented below ensure reliable start-up of a fully opera-

tional vehicle with the battery charged to at least 75%. 1. Motor oil must be adequate for the ambient temperature (see Appendix 1). 2. Use winter gasoline. 3. Spark plug gap should be reduced to the minimum level of 1 mm. 4. If you intend to park your vehicle for a long period burn the spark plugs before switching the engine off. To do that increase engine speed to 3000 rpm for one minute and then turn the engine off. 5. Switch ignition on and wait a few seconds before starting the engine to allow the fuel pump to build up pressure in the fuel rail. 6. Before and during starting depress the clutch pedal without depressing the accelerator pedal. 7. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, stop the starter motor. Try to start the engine again after 40 seconds. 8. If the engine fails to start at the second attempt, try again with the accelerator pedal fully depressed (purging). After 6 - 8 seconds of purging gradually release the accelerator pedal with a stop in a position where the engine fires. 9. If the third attempt to start the engine fails, this is an indication that either the ambient temperature is below the specified minimum ( 25 is the minimum threshold for cold starting without starting aids), the engine is faulty or the above instructions were not observed. Engine equipped with fuel injection system with catalyst converter and oxygen sensor can only work properly if unleaded gasoline is used. Leaded gasoline will lead to quick failure of these components, smoky emission, 17

much higher fuel consumption and worse car dynamic. ATTENTION! Catalyst converter is an expensive unit providing for environment protection. The catalyst may fail in case of misfiring (irregular engine operation and jerks of car when driving), as in such case the fuel will start to burn in the catalyst converter and its temperature will sharply increase. Engine management ECUs have a function to protect catalysts against misfiring. If misfiring occurs in one or two cylinders, "Check Engine" LED starts flashing, fuel supply to the cylinders, in which misfiring is detected, is stopped; after that the signal LED lights steady. If misfiring is detected, urgent measures to fix this failure should be taken. Vehicles equipped with catalyst converters can only be started by way of towing with their engines cold. It is preferable to start such engine from other vehicle's battery using additional connection cables. Never use starter to move your car.

immobilizer sends a signal to the engine ECM enabling fuel injection pulses. The immobilizer is protected against picking up keys or unauthorized reading of the key fob code. The key fob has an encripting unit, which continuously scrambles the code.

Instructions On Using VTD System

The VTD system package includes two black key fobs for daily use and one red (programming) key fob. The red key fob is used to activate the immobilizer system and program the OE black key fobs, as well as for programming the replacement key fobs in case the OE key fobs are lost, and programming the system after replacement of faulty ECM or Immobilizer module. All key fobs bear the marking -4. The VTD system is activated during the predelivery inspection. Check to see that the Immobilizer system has been connected and is fully functional. To do that close the vehicle doors except the drivers door, get in the car, and close the drivers door. The key reader LED 1 (Fig. 20) should start flashing twice a second. Put a black key fob (3) in front of the key reader (2). The key reader LED will go off and two beeps will be heard. Now you may switch ignition on and start the engine. The fuel injection pulses will be enabled. IMPORTANT! If the engine can be started without using the black key fob, the VTD system has not been activated. Do not hesitate to request your dealer to program and activate the system during the PDI.

Vehicle Theft Deterrent System (Immobilizer)

Some vehicles are fitted with electronic Theft Deterrent System -4 (APS-4), which allows the engine startup only after a valid black key fob code has been read, thus providing additional protection against unauthorized access to the vehicle. The main component of the VTD system is the electronic control module (immobilizer). After reading the black key fob the 18

After the Reading Mode has been activated place a black key fob in front of the key reader. The LED will go off and two beep sounds will be heard. You may now switch ignition on and start the engine. IMPORTANT! Never use a red key fob to disarm the VTD system for it can disable fuel injection pulses. Take the red key fob home for safekeeping. In case the red key fob is lost after the VTD system has been activated, the manufacturer disclaims warranty obligations related to the VTD system and the ECM.

Fig. 20. Instrument panel (detail)

The immobilizer will be automatically armed after ignition switch-off depending on the following: 1) if the drivers door has not been opened or it has been opened and not closed, the system will be armed in 5 minutes, 2) if the drivers door has been opened and then closed, the system will be armed within 30 seconds after the door closing. In both cases a beep sound of a rising pitch will be heard, which starts 15 seconds before the system is armed. If you do not wish to arm the system, switch ignition on.

Emergencies
1. Black key fob is lost. If a black key fob has been lost, we recommend that you reprogram the remaining black key fob. This will make the lost key fob invalid. Then buy a new black key fob and program both black key fobs that you now have. Apply to a service outlet to perform programming procedure of the OE and the new key fob, or of two new key fobs. 2. Red key fob is lost. If the red key fob is lost, it will be impossible to program the black key fobs. This means that you can continue using the vehicle with remaining black key fobs. However, should you lose these key fobs or should the immobilizer module become faulty, it will be necessary to replace both the immobilizer module and the ECM for the new ones. In this case use a new red key fob to activate the immobilizer system (to be performed at a service outlet). 19

Immobilizer System Disarming

To disarm the Immobilizer system activate the Reading Mode, which is indicated by the key reader LED (1) (Fig. 20) flashing twice a second, using one of the following procedures: Open or close the drivers door. This will activate the Reading Mode for 1.5 minutes. Cycle ignition ON/OFF. This will activate the Reading Mode for 10 seconds.

3. Replacement of a faulty immobilizer module. After replacement of a faulty immobilizer module program the system (to be performed at a service outlet). 4. Replacement of a faulty ECM. A faulty ECM may be replaced for a new one (i.e. not programmed). After replacement, the new ECM will allow engine start-up without the fuel enable signal from the immobilizer. To activate immobilization program the system (to be performed at a service outlet). 5. Diagnostics of antitheft system If after disarming antitheft system and turning on ignition the LED blinks 1 or 2 times and goes out, it means that antitheft system works properly. If after disarming antitheft system and turning on ignition the LED of system status indicator blinks with frequency of 1 time per second and the engine can't be started, it means that antitheft system is out of work. It's necessary to address a certified sales and service network enterprise to default.

position I while the courtesy light illuminates, the latter will go down immediately. If you reopen the door while the courtesy light is still on or is fading, the courtesy light will reilluminate and stay on while the door is open, then it will operate as described above.

Using Ignition Key And Key Fobs

Use the following procedure to start a vehicle, fitted with the VTD system: 1. After opening a vehicles door or a brief switch-on of ignition (if the courtesy light switch in the drivers door is faulty) the immobilizer Reading Mode will be activated for 30 seconds the key reader (2) LED (1) (Fig. 20) will flash at a double rate. 2. During this period place a black key fob (3) within 13 mm from the key reader. The key reader LED should illuminate for 2 seconds and then go off, indicating that the immobilizer has read and accepted the key fob code. After that the immobilizer module will send a signal to the ECM enabling the fuel injection pulses. To start the engine turn the ignition key from position I (Ignition) to position II (Starter Engine Cranking). The ignition switch has a blocking device, which inhibits starter activation if the engine is running. If the first attempt to start up the engine fails, try again by switching from position I to position 0 (OFF) and then activating the starter motor. To remove the ignition key put it into position 0. Removing the key will engage the steering wheel lock.
Never leave the key in the ignition switch to avoid driving-away.

Courtesy Light
The courtesy light goes off with a delay after the door is closed providing illumination for the driver during dark hours. To activate courtesy light put the interior lighting switch in the OFF position. The courtesy light illuminates with the drivers door opening and stays on while the door remains open. If ignition is switched off, the courtesy light will illuminate for another 12 seconds after the drivers door closing and then fade within 4 seconds. If the door is closed with ignition ON, the courtesy light will die out immediately after the door closing. If the ignition key is turned into 20

Fig. 22. Gear selection pattern

Driving the vehicle

Before starting off check the transfer case levers, which should be shifted in the position adequate for the driving conditions.

Positions Of Transfer Case Levers

Fig. 21. The interaxial differential lock lever has the following positions: U differential unlocked; L differential locked. When the lever is shifted to position L, the tell-tale light in the instrument cluster is lit up, indicating that the differential has been locked up. The gear lever positions in the transfer case are as follows: H low gear, N neutral, B high gear.
Release the clutch before changing gears or locking the differential.

reverse gear only when the vehicle has come to a complete stop. When travelling steep uphill or driving on weak soil and in order to ensure the minimum steady speed on hard surfaces, timely shift down to low gear in the transfer case. It is recommended to select low gear in the transfer case after your vehicle has come to a complete standstill. The differential should be timely locked to drive through heavy sections of cross-country roads.
Never lock the differential when both wheels on one of the driving axles are slipping. Never forget to unlock the differential after you have passed such passages driving on good roads with locked differential reduces the life of the power train, adds to tyre wear and fuel consumption and can result in skidding during braking.

Start driving in first gear and following the increase in the car speed, timely move the gear lever into a higher gear. See the gear selection pattern in Fig. 22. For backward motion, push the gear lever fully in and into reverse gear. Engage

After fording, vehicle wash or long driving on wet roads, when water is likely to get into the wheel brake mechanisms, apply the brakes gently on the move in order to dry up the discs, drums and linings. The vehicle can cross fords up to 0.5 m deep. Where possible, drive at moderate steady speeds, without rapid accelera21

tion or braking which affects fuel consumption. Low fuel economy may also be caused by low tyre pressure, foul or worn spark plugs and wrong engine oils (of higher viscosity than recommended). Check the operation of vehicle systems by respective instruments and tell-tales. Under normal conditions no red LEDs should light up, otherwise check a suspect system for possible failure.

Do not overtake in rainy weather if the overtake area is completely out of view due to a water cloud out from the wheels of a vehicle before you. Increase the distance and slow down the engine to avoid moving in water plume from the vehicles in front. When moving along the pavements in rain or after it, slow down crossing a puddle so the pedestrians aren't showered with splashes out from the wheels of your vehicle.

Ford and puddle passing

It's necessary to be very careful passing water barriers, because probably there are hidden holes or submerged obstacles that can damage wheel trims or parts of suspension. Do not pass submerged obstacles with the depth more than 0.5 m. Be careful while moving into water and wading, avoid making wave in front of radiator grille, because in this case water can go into the air intake of air filter in the engine. It necessarily leads to the engine trouble. Be especially careful and attentive during the first minutes after rain started, because wet dust on the road makes slippery film, which significantly reduces tire grip on the road. When driving, regularly break the vehicle slightly to dry the breaks, because the efficiency of wet breaks is significantly lower. When overtaking, switch on windscreen wiper at maximum to avoid loss of visibility due to possible water kick out of the wheels of the overtaking vehicles. The same measures should be taken also in case when a vehicle overtakes you. 22

Braking and parking

The design of the brakes ensures efficient braking. Nevertheless, always try to brake gently, avoiding hard braking.
Never switch off ignition or take the key out of the ignition switch while driving. When the engine is off, a higher force is required on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Moreover, if the ignition key is removed, the steering wheel will be locked and you lose steering control.

In the event of break or fault developing in one brake circuit, the other circuit ensures an effective stop of the vehicle. When this happens, the pedal travel increases and braking performance fades, which at the first instant can be interpreted as a complete braking system failure. Should this be the case, do not release the pedal and do not depress it repeatedly it only results in a longer braking path. Instead, hold the pedal down for maximum braking efficiency. If you happened to stop on an upward or downward slope, apply the handbrake and engage first or reverse gear, respectively. To prevent brake pad-to-drum binding as a result of wet road driving at

sharp temperature alterations, never leave the vehicle in the open with the handbrake applied you should first dry off the brakes by smooth brake application on your way to the parking lot.

Towing
Fig. 23. For towing your vehicle attach the tow-rope only to front 1 or to rear 2 towing eyes provided. On the towed vehicle turn the ignition key to 0 position and switch on the hazard warning flashers, as required by Traffic Regulations. Do not allow the rope to slack during towing. Always remember that power braking is possible only if the engine is running, therefore braking the towed vehicle will require greater effort. Towing should be done smoothly, without jerks or fast cornering.

Safety precautions
The vehicle is easy in steering, is distinguished by high performance and speed on the motorway, shows excellent off-road capability in the conditions of wet country roads, sandy or snowy terrain. Nevertheless, one should bear in mind, that the vehicle is not intended for constant operation in heavy road conditions. Do not exceed vehicle load specifications given in the present manual. Overloading may damage the front suspension, cause bending of the rear axle, tyre wear, body vibrations or loss of vehicle balance. Overall cargo weight, including cargo at the roof rack, 23

RUN-IN period
Over the first 2,000km: - when driving do not exceed speeds indicated in Table 1; - do not tow a trailer or other vehicle; - movement modes sudden take off with parking break set and turn with front wheel slip at full engine speed arent allowed because it leads to the damage of transmission units; - engine shouldn't work at the mode of overheating (limit - 115 in red range).

should not exceed 50 kg, otherwise the vehicle payload will be exceeded. In cold weather always check to see that the windscreen wipers are not frozen to the windscreen before attempting to operate them. Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the wiper blades as well as wiper motors.
Only materials recommended by Manufacturer (See Attachment 1) should be used for lubricating units and ancillaries and for fuel tank filling. Never operate the vehicle with the low oil pressure warning light on.

modes to allow engine operation close to normal. However the vehicle must be taken to a service outlet at the earliest opportunity to detect the cause of the MIL illumination. Only unleaded fuel should be used for injection vehicles, fitted with the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor, to ensure correct functioning of the engine. The use of leaded fuel will quickly ruin these components and result in smoky exhaust and poor fuel economy. ATTENTION! Do not drive when misfiring. The catalytic converter is an expensive device designed for environmental protection. It may be damaged by misfires (engine misses and car jerking), since, in this case, unburnt fuel will get into the catalyst, resulting in overheating and damage. Car electronics will protect the catalyst from the possible damage caused by misfire. In case of a misfire detected in one or two cylinders, the "Check Engine" tell-tale flashes and the fuel delivery to these cylinders is cut off. After which the "Check Engine" tell-tale illuminates continuously until the trip is over. In case of a noticeable misfire correct the cause of the misfire. Vehicles fitted with catalytic converters can be push-started only when the engine is cold. It is recommended to start the engine using other storage battery or 12 V external power supply. Never use the starter motor to drive the vehicle. The catalytic converter may also be damaged by misfires, since, in this case, unburnt fuel will get into the catalyst, resulting in overheating and ceramic cracks. Therefore, regularly carry out all maintenance operations

Never run the engine at the speed when the tachometer pointer needle is in the red area. The needle in the yellow area warns that you are reaching the maximum permissible engine speed. Be sure to always check tyre pressures, since wrong tyre pressures cause premature tyre wear, poor stability and steerability of the vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with highly efficient disk front brakes. Nevertheless, reliable and lasting operation of brakes may be ensured only by proper maintenance do not allow mud to accumulate and dry in the brakes. Always remember to wash brakes after cross-country driving. The vehicle features high power ignition system, therefore never disconnect HT leads or check HT circuits for spark with the engine running, since it may damage HT components and render the ignition system inoperative.

Notes On Using Vehicles With Injection Engines

If MIL comes on with the engine running, this doesnt mean, that the engine has to be stopped immediately, the control module has back-up 24

ground point

Remove high voltage wires from the units of ignition system only by safety cap. Do not remove by high voltage wire!

Jump Starting
When jump-starting a vehicle using a booster battery, observe the following precautions: 1. Make sure the booster battery is 12 volt. The booster battery and the discharged one in the vehicle should not differ much in capacitance. 2. The leads of sufficient cross-section should be used to connect the booster battery (at least 16 mm2). Connect the leads in the following order: first, connect one end of the jump lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery A, then the other end of the lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery B (Fig. 24). After that, connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative terminal of the booster battery and the other end of the lead to a good earthing

for the ignition system specified in the service manual. For the same reason, never start the engine by towing. Try to avoid parking the vehicle on dry grass or other flammable materials (cleaning cloths, wooden chips, etc.) which may present a fire hazard if the catalyst is at its working temperature. At an engine with fuel injection system the ECM activates the fuel pump for 2 seconds at ignition switch-on.

Interior Ventilation And Heating

The interior is heated or ventilated, depending on ambient temperatures.

Ventilation
Fresh air can enter the vehicle: through the windows, if the glass is lowered; through windscreen demister registers 2 (Fig. 25) if lever 8 and lever 7 are at the rightmost position; through side ventilation registers 1, if lever 8 is moved to the right and lever 7 to the left; to drivers and front passengers footwell 9 if the heater lower cover is opened by lever 10 and lever 8 is shifted to the right; through center ventilation registers 5 if the register control flaps have been opened using control knobs 3. Move lever 4 horizontally or vertically to redirect the air flow. When lever 7 is in the center position and lever 8 is in its extreme right position, the air will flow both through register 1 and register 2. At low vehicle speed the amount of airflow can be increased by turning on the heater blower using switch 12.

Fig. 26. Courtesy light

To demist the rear window, operate switch 11 to turn on the rear window heating.

Heating
For the interior heating and demisting/defrosting of the windscreen, side and rear windows: move levers 6 and 8 to the right; place lever 7 in the centre position; open the heater lower cover using lever 10; operate switch 12 to turn on the heater blower, when necessary. operate switch 11 to turn on the rear window heating; In this case, the warm air will be directed to the drivers and passengers footwells, as well as onto the windscreen and front windows. For faster windscreen defrosting, close the heater cover using lever 10 and move lever 7 rightward.

Demisting The Windscreen, Side And Rear Windows

The windscreen and side windows can be demisted by blowing them with fresh air as follows: use lever 10 to close the heater lower cover; move lever 8 to the right and lever 7 to the center position; turn on the heater blower, when applicable. To warm up the blowing air, move lever 6 rightward. 26

Interior lighting
Opening the door will automatically switch on courtesy lights 1 (Fig. 26) fitted in the centre door pillars. Use switch 2 to turn on the courtesy light, when the doors are closed.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

This section provides a brief description of servicing and maintenance operations. Check on a regular basis the rubber boots of the front axle joints, balljoints and the steering mechanism joints. A damaged boot will allow dust, water and mud into the joint reducing its service life. Replace a damaged boot or reshape a twisted one. Check oil level 10-15 minutes after refilling to ensure that all oil has come down to the sump. ATTENTION! Do not fill oil above recommended level, for in this case it will be drawn through the ventilation system into the combustion chambers and then released into the ambient with the exhaust gasses. At the injection engines fitted with a catalytic converter oil in the exhaust may destroy the catalyst.

Engine Oil Level

During the run-in period the oil consumption will be higher than regular. Therefore, regularly check oil level, especially before long journeys. Check the oil level on a cold engine, when it is off, and top up, when necessary. Oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks of oil dipstick 1 (Fig. 27). Refill the engine through the filler, closed with cap 2.

Engine Coolant Level

Coolant level in the expansion tank (Fig. 28) must be 30-40 mm above the MIN mark. Check the level and open the cap to top up the coolant only on a cold engine. After refill, firmly tighten the expansion tank cap, since at a running

reveals cracks on the surface of the hoses or bulges, wich appear during depressing the brake pedal, replace the affected hose for a new one. Refill brake fluid every three years for the following reason: the barke fluid absorbs moisture from the ambient air, resulting in its lower boiling point. Apart from that, water present in the brake fluid may corrode some of the braking system components. Note that brake fluid is poisonous! It must be stored in a tightly sealed container beyond the reach of children. Avoid spilling brake fluid on the paintwork to prevent its damage. There is inspection lamp socket 4 on the brake fluid reservoir bracket.

Brake Fluid Level

Fig. 29. The brake fluid level in translucent reservoir 1 is checked visually and must be at the lower edge of the filler neck, with cap 2 in place. When checking the brake fluid level, always check the operation of the low fluid level sender by pressing centre part 3 on the reservoir cap with ignition on, the respective light in the instrument cluster goes on. Pay special attention to elastic hoses, for they are exposed to water, mud, sand, and salt. If inspection 28

Clutch Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir

of the filler neck. If you have to top up the reservoir frequently, check the system for any leakage and sort out the problem. Refill clutch hydraulic fluid every three years, based on the same reason as for the braking system.

ATTENTION! Power steering system is filled with fluid Pentosin Hydraulic Fluid CHF 11S-TL VW52137. It's prohibited to use other fluids and mix it with the indicated fluid in maintenance and repair of the system. Only certified sales and service network enterprises can repair malfunctions and refill the hydraulic fluid.

Power steering fluid level

Regular checking of fluid level in tank 2 (Fig. 31) is vital for ensuring reliable operation of power steering (optional). With cold hydraulic pump and stalled engine the fluid level should be between the two marks on the indicator of cap 1. A lower fluid level indicates a hydraulic leak, which must be identified and eliminated. Note that when the steering wheel is in extreme right or left position, some noise may be heard, which does not indicate a fault. This noise may be caused by the activation of the by-pass valve. When the steering wheel is back to the straightforward driving position, the by-pass valve is deactivated and the noise subsides.

Level Of Electrolyte In The Battery

Fig. 32 The electrolyte level in the battery should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the translucent battery case. If there are no marks, the level must be at the lower edge of the filler neck. Deviation from the assigned parameters of electrolyte level can cause a malfunction of storage battery as well as an electrolyte splash that can damage body paint coating. 29

Fig. 33. Spark plug

Fig. 34. Windscreen/headlight washer container

ATTENTION! Due to the fact that electrolyte is an aggressive fluid which exposure is dangerous for your health and for vehicle parts it's recommended to maintain storage battery in a certified sales and service network enterprise. Always check that the battery terminals are tight and clean. Oxidized terminals or poor connection may cause sparking and thus damage vehicle electronics. For the same reason never disconnect the storage battery with the engine running, switched on ignition or electronics. When installing the battery ensure correct polarity of connections according to the markings (positive terminal is also bigger in size than negative). Charging the battery on the vehicle requires disconnection of its terminals. Never leave the battery discharged for a long period. This may considerably reduce its service life, especially at temperatures below zero. 30

Spark Plugs
Spark plug gap A (Fig. 33) of an electronically controlled engine with injection system should be 1.001.15 mm. Adjust the gap by bending the side electrode. To ensure reliable start-up at cold temperatures replace the spark plugs for the new ones, even if the currently installed spark plugs are in good condition. The latter can be put away for safekeeping and used during summer time.

Washer Fluids
Fill the fluid reservoirs of the rear window, windscreen and headlight washer system with a mixture of water and the appropriate washer fluid as recommended. Clean water may be used in warm weather. Windscreen and headlights washer fluid reservoir 1 (Fig. 34) is located in the engine compartment and is closed with cap 2. Remove cap 1 (Fig. 35) to top up the rear window washer reservoir.

Fig. 35. Rear window washer container

Tyres
Maintain tyre pressure at the level, specified in table 2. Pressure checks should be performed when the tyres are cold. Driving the vehicle with pres-

sure other than recommended will result in accelerated tyre wear, increased fuel consumption, poorer vehicle stability and driveability. In case of repeated pressure drops, check for air leaks through the valve. If necessary, tighten the valve core or replace it. If pressure continues to drop with the valve fully functional, repair the tyre. All work related to the wheel beading or balancing should be entrusted to a dealer. To ensure uniform wear of tyres rotate them as shown in diagram (Fig. 36). The spare wheel should not be involved. Avoid driving the vehicle with the wheels rubbing against the curbstone or driving at a high speed on a road with defected surface (with pits and

Bodywork Maintenance
Bodywork is the basic and the most expensive part of the vehicle. It is manufactured using modern materials and high quality anticorrosion components. Corrosion resistance of the body is basically secured by the manufacturer, however, much depends on proper 36

maintenance, particular climatic conditions, environment and storage conditions. To avoid scratches, do not remove dust and dirt with a dry rag. It is best to wash the vehicle immediately after a trip with a soft sponge using a moderately strong jet of water. On a summer day wash your vehicle outdoors in a shady place. If this is impossible, wipe the paintwork dry immediately after washing to avoid stains left by water droplets drying uder direct sunshine. On a winter day wash your vehicle indoors in a warm place and wipe dry the paintwork and door weatherstrips before driving out to avoid possible negative effects of water droplets freezing: paintwork cracking or weatherstripto-body freezing. Do not use soda, alkaline solutions or waste waters for washing, since they may cause dimming of the paintwork. Before washing your vehicle, clear out drain holes in the doors and sills. Do not direct water jet on the door locks, electric and electronic components, sensors, and connectors in the engine compartment. Inspect the condition of electronic components and sensors connector boots. In case of water coming inside the connector dry it with pressurized air and apply water repellant substance to prevent oxidation of terminals. Carefully wash doors and bonnets flanged joints, engine compartment and door apertures welded joints to avoid accumulation of dirt, which may damage paintwork and cause corrosion. In case of visible signs of corrosion (corroded spots, blistering of paint, etc.) abrade the affected spot with sandpaper to reveal uncorroded metal, apply rust converter, prime and paint the spot.

Spalling and scratching of the paintfinish, spalling of the sealer in the wheel arches and the underbody may be caused by mechanical actions during vehicle operation. Corrosion of welded joints or other bodywork joints is not through corrosion, and for that reason at early stages it can be corrected by polishing. Timely correct corrosion of the paintfinish, which may appear during operation, to prevent further corrosion under the topcoat, its lamination and blistering. In order to enhance corrosion resistance of the body, the closed internal spaces of the door sills, side- and crossmembers are protected by a special anticorrosion compound. It is recommended to restore the protective coating of the closed spaces at a service outlet during the first year of vehicle operation and later every 1 year. Exposure of the vehicle underbody to gravel, sand, salt, etc. affects the sealers and the primecoat, facilitating body rusting. Carefuly monitor condition of the underbody and correct the revealed defects in due time and order. To preserve the shine of the paintwork (especially for outdoor parking) polish your vehicle on a regular basis using special creams. Polishing creams seal new microcracks of the paintwork and prevent metal corrosion underneath. Never leave the vehicle outdoors for a prolonged period or spill acids, soda solutions, breaking liquid or petroleum on the bodywork to avoid dimming of the paint. Use a clean cloth to wipe off petroleum spillage after filling up this will help to prevent staining of the body under the filler neck cap.

Use a wet cloth to wipe plastic parts. Do not use petroleum or solvents, for they may cause dimming of the plastics. Remove dust from the seat cushion/ seatback trim by vacuuming. To remove greasy spots from upholstery, use universal interior cleaners or neutral soapy water. Do not forget to thoroughly clean rubber seals and adjacent door and boot lid surfaces with a damp cloth. Clean the glasses with soft linen rags or chamois leather. Add glasscleaners to water when washing very dirty glasses (30 cm3/l). Due to unfavourable environmental situation in some regions the paintwork of the vehicle may be negatively affected. This may appear as rusty dust, local discolouration or destruction of the paintwork. Rusty dust on the bodywork is the result of airborne metal particles deposition. These particles are later attached to the body through the process of corrosion in dew water. To remove rusty deposits use a 5% solution of oxalic acid and then wash the vehicle with profuse clean water. Complete the operation with polishing of the body. If no special action is taken to remove the rusty deposits, they will gradually go away after a number of washes or rains. Local discolouration (staining) of the paintfinish or destruction of the clearcoat are caused by deposition of airborne industrial acids which undergo chemical transformations in humid air. Depending on how badly the bodywork is affected you may have to polish or repaint the body. 37

Storage
Pay special attention to vehicle storage conditions. If the vehicle runs 15 000 kilometers a year, it means that it is only 1 hour in operation out of 24. Optimum conditions for vehicle storage are: a shed with the temperature and humidity at the same level as the ambient, constant airflow and no sun or weather exposure. warm (single lot) garage with the temperature at least 5C, relative humidity 50-70% and combined supply/exhaust ventilation system. If the ventilation system of the warm (single lot) garage is inefficient, and the vehicle is operated during winter or is left for storage without drying after a wash, the destructive effect on the paintfinish will multiply.

If in winter a vehicle is kept under a shed or in unheated building, remove storage battery and keep it separately. Drain water from window washer reservoir. To prepare vehicle for long-term storage: 1. Clean the vehicle and wipe the body dry. Apply preservative on the body. 2. Charge storage battery fully. Maintain a vehicle during storage period (once per two months) in the following way: start the engine for 1 or 2 minutes assuming measures for exhaust gas freeing, check system and signaling indicator operation, power off the engine.
