Body frame (figure 10.1) includes a base, sides, roof and frame parts connected by electric welding (point, seam and arc), and is a non-separable structure that is sufficiently rigid and capable of supporting all vehicle components, body attachments, interior components and parts, etc.
The mounted components include side doors, hood, trunk lid, front fenders, bumpers and radiator grille. The doors, hood and trunk lid are secured to the body using hinges.
The front fenders, front and rear bumpers are bolted to the body. The radiator grille is attached using plastic clips and three screws.
The windshield is triple-layered, triplex type. Door, rear and side windows are tempered. Windscreen, rear (with heating element) and the side windows are glued to the body and are part of its power structure.
The front seats are separate, with adjustable backrest angles and longitudinal movement mechanisms, with easily removable headrests that are height-adjustable. The backrests of the front seats can be adjusted to a comfortable resting position.
To increase the volume of the luggage compartment, the rear seat of the car folds in parts: the seat cushion folds forward, and the backrest - down. All seat belts of the car are of the inertia type. The car's interior is equipped with a cigarette lighter, ashtray, sun visors, heater, rear-view mirror and handrails. There is a mount for a fire extinguisher under the driver's seat, and a first aid kit under the passenger's seat. The vehicle is equipped with front and rear towing eyes.
In the variant version, the car is equipped with an air conditioning system, an electric trunk lock, and electrically heated front seats.
Depending on the configuration, the car is equipped with a heating and ventilation system or an air conditioning system. If the car is equipped with an air conditioning system, the microclimate in the cabin is controlled by the controller in automatic mode.
The body is equipped with exhaust ventilation through deflectors with valves installed on the sides of the body behind the rear bumper.
Useful tips
When parking your vehicle for a long time, do not cover the body with a cover made of thick material. A cover that gets wet from the rain creates a steam "bath" when heated in the sun, and the paintwork underneath the car body can peel off and swell. In addition, under gusts of wind the cover moves and erases the paint on the protruding parts of the body.
Do not place rubber objects on the body. After some time, the rubber leaves a residue on the surface (especially light) indelible stains.
Lubricate the door hinge pins regularly with any liquid lubricant. There have been cases where door hinges have come off the body pillars due to rusted axles.
If over time the rubber products on your car body have lost their marketable appearance, wipe them with hand cream containing glycerin or silicone lubricant, which is sold in auto parts stores.
From time to time, run a thin metal plate between the side glass and the rubber strip on the door - this will remove dust and sand and protect the glass from scratches.
After washing, be sure to remove the rubber mats and dry the interior. Moisture under the mats is the main cause of floor corrosion.
