Governing bodies (VAZ-21099)

Your vehicle may be equipped with one of the two panels shown in Figures 1 and 2.







In the ignition switch (see item 7) the key can occupy the following positions:

• 0 - all consumers are off. The key cannot be removed. The steering is not locked;
• I — ignition on. Key cannot be removed. Steering not locked;
• II — ignition and starter are on. The key is turned clockwise until it stops, overcoming the spring force. The steering is not locked. In this position, the key is not fixed — to operate the starter, it must be held by hand. Immediately after starting the engine, the key should be released, and under the action of the return spring, it will return to position I.

The ignition switch has a built-in interlock device that will not allow the starter to be engaged when the engine is running. You can only turn the key back to position II after you have returned the key to position 0;

• III — ignition is off. The key is removed. When the key is removed, the steering is locked. To turn off the anti-theft device, insert the key into the ignition switch and, while turning the steering wheel slightly left and right, turn the key to position 0.

Set the headlight range control knob (see item 8) to one of four positions depending on the vehicle load:

• a) driver or driver and front seat passenger;
• b) driver and four passengers;
• v) driver, four passengers and cargo in the luggage compartment;
• g) driver and a fully loaded luggage compartment.

The direction indicator and headlight switch lever (see item 13) can be set to one of the following positions:

• 1 – in this position everything is off. You can turn on the low beam headlights by moving the central switch to the second fixed position;
• 2 – by moving the lever down, you turn on the left turn signals. The indicator lamp 16 in the instrument cluster will light up green. The lever is not fixed and will return to position I when released. This is convenient when the steering wheel turns at a small angle, for example when overtaking or changing lanes;
• 3 – if you need to fix the lever in the left turn position, move it further down until it stops. After returning the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position, the lever will automatically return to position I;
• 4 – by moving the lever up, you turn on the right turn signals. The indicator lamp 16 in the instrument cluster will light up green. The lever is not fixed and will return to position I when released;
• 5 – if you want to lock the lever in the right turn position, move it up to the stop. After returning the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position, the lever will automatically return to position I;
• 6 – if you need to signal with high beam headlights ("blink"), move the lever towards you several times. In this position, the lever is not fixed;
• 7 – when you move the lever away from you, the high beam headlights are turned on. The central switch of the external lighting should be in the second fixed position. When the high beam headlights are turned on, the indicator lamp 19 in the instrument cluster will light up blue. In this position, the lever is fixed.

The windshield wiper and washer switch lever (see item 14) can be set to one of the following positions:

• 1 - in this position everything is off;
• 2 – by moving the lever up, you turn on the intermittent mode of the windshield wiper. In this case, the lever is not fixed and, when you release it, returns to position I;
• 3 – if you need to lock the lever in the intermittent wiper mode, move it further up. This mode is convenient to use in light rain or drizzle;
• 4 – by moving the lever up to the next fixed position, you turn on the low speed of the windshield wiper;
• 5 – by moving the lever even higher to the next fixed position, you turn on a higher speed of the windshield wiper;
• 6 – if you need to turn on the windshield washer, pull the lever towards you. In this position, the lever is not fixed. The windshield wiper will turn on simultaneously with the washer. If your car is equipped with headlight washers, then with the headlights on, in this position of the lever, the headlight washers will also turn on;
• 7 – if you want to turn on the rear window wiper, push the lever away from you. This position of the lever is fixed;
• 8 – if you need to turn on the rear window washer, move the lever further away from you to the non-fixed position. In this position of the lever, the rear window wiper continues to operate.

1. The glove box is designed to store small items. To open it, lift the lock handle up and lower the box lid. The open box is illuminated from the inside by a lamp that only lights up when the ignition is on.



2. To turn on the cigarette lighter, press the handle of the cigarette lighter until it locks into place. After approximately 20 seconds, the handle will return to its original position with a click.

To avoid discharging the battery, we recommend turning on the heating when the engine is running and only for the time required to clean the glass.



16. The speedometer scale shows the speed of the car in kilometers per hour. The speedometer has built-in total and daily mileage counters. The counters show the mileage in kilometers, and the last digit is in hundreds of meters. The daily mileage counter readings are reset by turning handle 25 clockwise. Resetting the readings is only done when the car is stationary.



17. The fuel gauge can be used to roughly determine the amount of petrol in the tank. The scale of the gauge has divisions: 0 – empty tank; 1 – full tank. The indicator has a built-in fuel reserve indicator light. It lights up orange if there is less than 4–6 liters of gasoline left in the tank.

21. The voltmeter determines the voltage in the vehicle's on-board network. The scale has divisions corresponding to voltages of 8 and 16 V. There are red zones at the beginning and end of the scale. The red zone at the beginning of the scale indicates a discharged battery, and at the end of the scale - an overcharged battery.



22. The economizer will help you choose the most economical engine operating mode. The economizer scale has two zones: the white zone corresponds to the economical mode, the yellow zone to the high fuel consumption mode.
