Salon VAZ-2114 and its features

In continuation of the series "Samara-2" in 2001, the domestic car industry introduced a hatchback with five doors VAZ-2114. Distinctive features of the model are the front part of the body (headlights, grille, bonnet, bumper) and interior decoration.

Salon and its features

Salon VAZ-2114 is equipped with a new instrument panel. There was a heater with an updated design, fog lights. The glasses are tinted. Power windows with electric drive. On the doors there are central locks.

Steering wheel from the "dozen". Steering column with adjustable. Thanks to this, the steering wheel does not interfere with a complete overview of the instruments on the panel. In addition, the driver was much more comfortable to settle, the steering wheel no longer interferes.

Due to the upholstery of light colors, the VAZ-2114 interior seems more spacious. The seats are soft, heated. The fabric is pleasant to the touch. Rear seats can optionally be folded, turning a compact-looking car into a capacious cargo carrier. In this case, the luggage compartment increases from the standard 330 liters to a full 600.

Dashboard

The car has an europanel. Consists of two liquid crystal displays. Built-in off-shore thermometer. In the central part are hidden emergency signs, which, under normal operation of the car, look like an ordinary dark stripe. Thanks to the new design of the panel, the interior ventilation has improved (the problem of air supply to the deflectors on the sides has been eliminated).

In the left corner of the panel there is a temperature sensor to prevent engine overheating. It is executed in the form of a scale on which the dangerous zone is marked in red.

Closer to the center is the engine speed scale (tachometer) in the range of 0-80. It has a yellow (increased crankshaft speed) and a red (danger in engine operation) zone.

In the central upper part - signaling devices in the form of arrows, which flash green when the turn signals are turned on in the corresponding direction.

To the right of the signalers there is a scale showing the speed of the car. Calculated for up to 200 km / h.

The upper right side indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. A little lower - signaling the inclusion of the dimensions and driving lights, as well as a signal of a breakdown in the braking system.

Interior lighting

Standard interior lighting VAZ-2114 includes a plafond on the roof of the car, LED-lamp, consisting of six diodes, and the illumination of the instrument panel. In addition, the glove compartment, the heater levers and the indicator of the hydraulic corrector of the lamps are highlighted.

Frequent cases when the illumination of the VAZ-2114 interior fails. This is evidenced by the reviews of car owners. To eliminate this problem, a whole scheme of actions has been developed, which includes several tips:

• Check if the lamp is working. The breakage of the fuse will not be indicated by a light bulb.
• If the light is on, check the contacts on the door pillars.
• Make sure that the current is coming to the contact.

Variants of tuning of salon

The VAZ-2114 interior often undergoes changes from car owners. Despite the good quality of materials, owners often compare the VAZ with foreign cars. Naturally, the domestic automotive industry is inferior.

First of all, change the lining of the cabin. It changes not only the color, but the material itself. At the same time, the upholstery of the seats is changing (the covers are worn). In some cases, the seats are completely changed.

Change the upholstery on its own will not be difficult. You can start with peaks from the sun. With removed visors, polyethylene is removed, which is laid out on the selected material from the inside. The contour of the part is traced. The margin is indented 1 cm, cut out. The cover is sewn, which, in fact, is put on the visor. Similarly, the skin of the inserts on the doors changes. Thanks to this simple method, the VAZ-2114 interior will become more presentable.

The instrument panel, which adapts to the general style of the salon , also has to be altered.

Tuning of interior lighting by own hands

Native lighting meets the desire of not all owners of VAZ-2114. Many of them independently change the installed lampshade to a lamp with a diode lamp. This is done with three main purposes:

• Possibility of brightness adjustment;
• Smooth light suppression with a delay of up to 8 seconds;
• Shutdown automatically after half an hour if one of the doors is left open.

To install a lamp of this kind in the salon VAZ-2114 with your own hands, you should perform a number of actions:

• From the standard lamp, the diffuser is removed and the wires disconnected;
• Removed the old body of the plafond (for this you need to unscrew only 4 screws);
• The diffuser is removed in the form of a plastic cover with an LED lamp;
• The electrical connection of the car is connected to the lamp plug on the LEDs;
• The new cover is fixed to the place and a diffuser is put on its case.

A few simple actions will help your "iron friend" to get even better appearance, which will surely attract the attention of friends and just passing lovers of cars.
