A combined ignition switch (lock) is used to switch the main circuits of the vehicle, consisting of a contact part and a mechanical anti-theft device with a lock.
Outdoor lighting and fog light switches (are installed as an option depending on the vehicle configuration) are combined into an external lighting control unit.
The vehicle's electrical equipment diagrams are provided at the end of the book.
Warnings: Carry out any work on the vehicle's electrical equipment only with the battery disconnected.
The battery can only be disconnected or connected when the ignition is off.
When checking the circuits of electrical equipment, it is prohibited to short-circuit the wires to ground (check the circuits for serviceability "for a spark"), as this may lead to failure of the electrical equipment elements. It is prohibited to use fuses that are not provided for by the design of the car or designed for a higher current, as well as to use wire instead of fuses.
When replacing fuses, do not use screwdrivers, as this may cause a short circuit in the electrical circuits.
It is prohibited to disconnect the battery while the engine is running to avoid damage to the voltage regulator and electronic components of the vehicle.
When performing electric welding work on a car, it is necessary to disconnect the wires from the terminals of the battery, generator and electronic control unit. Regularly clean the battery terminals and wire tips from oxides and dirt.
When recharging the battery using a charger, disconnect the wires from the battery terminals.
