On the right central pillar, at the bottom, there is a double plate with information about the car:

Decoding the symbols on the bottom plate: 1 – AVTOVAZ - manufacturer; 2 – vehicle type number; 3 – identification number (VIN number); 4 – permitted maximum weight; 5 – the permitted maximum weight of a vehicle with a trailer equipped with a braking system; 6 – maximum permissible load on the front axle, kg; 7 – maximum permissible load on the rear axle, kg

9 - Spare parts number. 10 - Engine designation. 11 - Commercial designation of the vehicle.

Decoding VIN number

The first three letters, according to international standards, indicate the manufacturer's code; the next six characters are the car model; latin letter (or number) - model year of the car; the last seven digits are the chassis number, which for a passenger car corresponds to the body number. In accordance with the Technical Regulations "On the safety of wheeled vehicles", the model year is defined as a conventional year specified by the manufacturer (usually following the actual year of manufacture of the vehicle). At AVTOVAZ, the start of the model year is set for July 1 of the calendar year. Thus, from January 1 to June 30, the model year corresponds to the actual year of production of the car, and from July 1 to December 31, it corresponds to the year following the actual year of production of the car.

The VIN number is also located (duplicated) under the front passenger seat, on the body crossbar.

Attention! Car enthusiasts note the fact that the location and method of applying the number in this place is unfortunate. For 100 thousand km of mileage (in Russian conditions) due to corrosion, this number becomes completely illegible. This may create problems when re-registering the vehicle. It is recommended that steps be taken to protect this plate.
