Lada VAZ2121 User Manual
This Manual contains a description of the Lada Niva car, description of its’ parts, driving tips
and specifications. This Manual was scanned from an original Manual supplied with a 1989
Niva 1600. Some details may have changed for subsequent Niva models, notably the Niva
1700 Bushmaster. This Manual complements the Niva Maintenance Manual which I
produced in early 1998. This Manual provides information useful for everyday drivers of the
Niva such as descriptions of buttons, gauges, switches etc. There is also a good description of
the car s appointments for the prospective driver.

The Manual is intended to provide a replacement Manual for owners of Lada Nivas who were
not provided with a Manual when purchasing their car. It is not an extra Manual and does not
contain any information other than what is contained in the original driver s Manual (except
for a few comments I have added and the table of contents). It has been designed to print
double sided - hence the arrangements of the wider inner margins.
