Egnition lock
There are four fixed key positions in the ignition lock:
- 0: In this position, you can insert or remove the key from the ignition switch. When the key is removed, the steering wheel is locked.
- I: In this position, you can use the following electrical appliances: radio, cigarette lighter and control side mirrors.
- II: The engine is running in this position. When the engine is started, indicators of various vehicle systems light up.
- III: In this position, the engine is started.
Engine starting
Attention: do not allow the engine to run for a long time at high speeds and sudden accelerations in a cold state.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and accessories.
3. Install the automatic transmission selector (variator).
- A) Set the selector to position "R". When restarted, (stalled engine) set selector to position "N".
- b) Press the brake pedal and hold it until you start moving.
4. Fully depress the clutch pedal and place the manual transmission lever in the neutral position.
5. Engine start.
Set the ignition key to position "II". Without depressing the accelerator pedal, turn the engine crankshaft by turning the ignition key to position "III". Release the ignition key when the engine starts.
Caution: Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. This can cause the starter motor and electrical circuit connections to overheat. If the engine does not start within 15 seconds, then take a break of about one minute before the next attempt.
6. After the automatic reduction of the increased engine warm-up speed, the car is ready to move.
Note: If the weather is freezing, leave the engine to warm up for a few more minutes before driving off. But if necessary, you can start driving immediately after reducing the increased engine warm-up speed.
If the engine won't start...
1. Before performing checks, make sure that the start-up procedure has been carried out correctly (see relevant section) and that there is enough fuel in the tank.
2. If the engine crankshaft does not turn or turns too slowly:
- A) Make sure the battery terminals are secure and clean.
- b) If the battery terminals are OK, then turn on the interior lighting. If the lighting is absent, dim, or goes out when the engine is cranked over by the starter, the battery is discharged.
- V) If the lighting is normal, but the engine does not start, then it is faulty.
3. If the engine cranks normally but the engine does not start:
- A) Check the tightness of the connectors (e.g. spark plug connections, ignition coils).
- b) If the connectors are OK, then the spark plugs may be "flooded" due to repeated cranking of the engine crankshaft.
Engine starting (if spark plugs "flooded")
1. Press the accelerator pedal, turn the engine crankshaft by turning the ignition key to the position "III" approximately, within 15 seconds. Don't rock the pedal, just keep it pressed down.
2. Release the ignition key and the accelerator pedal. Then try to start the engine without pressing the accelerator pedal.
3. If the engine does not start within 15 seconds of cranking, then release the ignition key and wait a few minutes.
4. Try to start the engine. If the engine does not start, then:
- A) Remove spark plugs and dry wet electrodes.
- b) Turn the ignition key to position "III" for approximately 15 seconds while keeping the accelerator pedal depressed.
- V) Install spark plugs.
5. Try to start the engine without depressing the accelerator pedal.
If the engine still does not start, it is faulty and needs to be adjusted or repaired.
Caution: Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. This can cause the starter motor and electrical circuit connections to overheat.
Starting with a booster battery
Caution: Boot battery voltage must be 12V. Do not start with booster batteries unless you are sure they are the right size.
1. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories and make sure the vehicles are not touching.
2. If necessary, remove all vent plugs from booster and dead batteries. Lay the fabric over; open vents on batteries (this helps to reduce the risk of explosion).
3. If the booster battery vehicle does not run, start it and let it run for a few minutes. When starting with a booster battery, the engine should be running at approximately 2000 rpm.
4. Connecting cables.
A) Connect the cables in the sequence shown in the figure.
Note: To avoid serious injury when making connections, do not lean over the battery or allow cables or clamps to accidentally touch anything other than the appropriate battery terminals or vehicle ground.
6) Connect the clamp on the other end of the negative booster battery cable to a rigid, fixed, unpainted metal part of the vehicle's engine with the dead battery.
Attention: do not connect the cable near any part that can move when the engine is cranked.
5. Start the engine in the usual way. Once started, it should run at 2000 rpm for a few minutes.
6. Carefully disconnect the cables: negative first, then positive.
7. Carefully remove fabrics covering batteries as they may contain sulfuric acid.
8. If the vent plugs have been removed, reinstall them.
