How to activate the cruise control indication on Lada vesta

Cruise control system

Controlling cruise control from the steering wheel

Many Lada Vesta car owners will be interested in this option. Cruise control allows the vehicle to move, including descents and ascents, without the driver pressing the pedal. A person just needs to set the electronic system to a certain speed. This option is well suited for relatively empty tracks and roads. Lada Vesta with cruise control allows you to significantly save human resources on long journeys.

On a note!
Owners can boast of this advantage only when purchasing the Lada Vesta Luxe and Comfort configuration (with the Multimedia option package). Luxury cars are equipped with a base platform on which steering wheel buttons are installed. For Classic it is possible to mount a multi-function steering wheel.

Activation via phone

This simple method of activating cruise control on Vesta via an ELM327 adapter was shared by pavel-kor.
The method was tested on the instrument panels of the old (white) and new samples (orange).

Instructions

For an Android smartphone, download and install the ECU Tweaker application. We copy the ecu.zip archive to the root of the internal or external memory without unpacking it.
Connect the ELM327 V1.5 adapter to the OBDII port of the car.
Turn on the ignition.
Launch the “ECU Tweaker” application on your smartphone
In the search, select “Clio V”
Then "Meter Cluster"
Then “Cluster C1A_CMFB15-40ph2_V2.20”
(or “C1A_CMFB15-40ph2_V2.14”)
Then "Configuration"
Then "Configuration1"
Then find the parameter “Language_CF”
Set to Arabic
Save the value "SCR OK"
(next to the SCROKMsg_CF line)

If the error RequestCorrectlyReceived-ResponsePending (7F2E78) appears after saving, the parameter should still be written. You can check this by refreshing the page, the parameter with the value “Arabic” should be saved, or start testing the instrument cluster (the cruise control and speed limiter indicators should be on).

Choosing equipment for AMT (robot)

So, AvtoVAZ offers 3 configurations for the robot:

Classic
Comfort
Luxe

And also 3 packages of options

, the last of which is unique:

Several modern components will be added:

Rear View Camera
Cruise control and speed limiter
Multifunction steering wheel
Multimedia system with navigation (7" color display with TouchScreen, FM/AM with RDS function, USB, SD card, AUX, Bluetooth, Hands free), 6 speakers

Good equipment, but also costs an order of magnitude more than the Classic. AvtoVAZ has another rare configuration, which will be discussed further.

Luxe package (Lux) + XV line option package = RUB 663,000

The top-end equipment of Vesta!

We now have unique features that set us apart from others:

Pads on the pedals
Textile rugs
Spoiler
Decorative exhaust pipe nozzle

This set looks really cool! As they say, the overall impression is made up of the little things that complement this package.

This is where our choice ends.

But we also need to mention the unique Lime color, for which the dealer will ask you for an additional 14 thousand rubles. By the way, only Luxury trim levels are painted in this color.

Preparation

What is cruise control and how does it work
? In my timid attempt to find out whether the highly respected official dealer would deign to install such a small thing on my car, and for what earthly goods in ruble equivalent, they waved me aside like a midnight ghost.

Thinking that I had become completely lazy after almost four and a half years of owning a foreign car, and that I would soon forget how to hold a screwdriver in my hands, I decided to do everything myself.

The cruise control kit consists of three parts:

— an electronic module that makes the decision to press the gas or release it;

— a vacuum servo drive, which, under the guidance of the mentioned unit, succumbing to the power of the mighty vacuum and atmospheric pressure, pulls the throttle valve;

- and a block of buttons that controls this entire structure.

There is also an inductive speed sensor, which is needed if the car does not transmit a speed signal. And also a bundle of wires connecting it all, and a bunch of all sorts of screws, dowels, pieces of iron and other trinkets necessary for installation.

All this gimmick is supplied with instructions in a bunch of non-Russian languages. Fortunately, my knowledge of English was sufficient.

The electrical connection to the car consists of screwing five wires into the required places:

- constant plus from the battery,

- wire going from the switch to the brake lamps,

— power supply, up to 3 amperes, connected to the ignition,

— mass (minus),

- and the wire to which the speed pulses should be sent.

The first two wires are simply screwed to the wires before and after the brake light switch. If the car has a manual transmission, then a reed switch is added to the break in the wire coming after the switch, which opens the circuit when the clutch pedal is pressed. This wire is always shorted to ground through the brake lamps. If the short to ground disappears, or it is shorted to “plus”, the cruise control will turn off. For cars with diode brake lights, this can be a problem because... diode lamps prevent short-circuiting to the housing (the problem can be solved by installing some load, for example, a small light bulb, in parallel with the diode brake lights). If for any reason the wire breaks, this will also disable the cruise control, which is very good.

The most difficult thing in this whole matter turned out to be choosing places where to install the above three devices. After lying down for a couple of hours in deep thought, armed with a diagram downloaded from the Internet for my self-propelled unit, as well as instructions for disassembling it, I set off to put all this together into a car.

Review of Vesta Comfort Multimedia

The new product from AvtoVAZ has not yet given any reason to doubt the build quality and reliability of its components. Designers and developers today receive more positive feedback and constructive criticism than the irrational and stupid statements of some ignorant people.

Engine, transmission and chassis features

Technical characteristics of Lada Vesta

The new configuration has a basic body with the same characteristics as a regular base class B sedan. You should take a closer look at the dynamic characteristics and find out exactly what is mounted under the hood of this model:

a 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 106 horsepower and a volume of 1.6 liters is installed;
maximum torque is 148 N/m;
the engine complies with Euro5 toxicity standards;
recommended fuel type for the car is AI-92;
the designers connected a high-quality 5-speed gearbox to the local engine;
The installed drive type for “Comfort Multimedia” is front;
the multimedia sedan reaches a top speed of 178 km/h and accelerates to 100 in 11.8 seconds;
in an urban environment, the car consumes about 9.5 liters of fuel, on the highway this figure stops at around 7 liters;
the suspension design does not differ from that of other trim levels - MacPherson-type spring struts with stabilization of lateral stability are mounted in front, the rear suspension is independent and also spring;
the front and rear brakes of the Lada Vesta are disc specific;
The car fits 15-inch steel wheels and tires of the same diameter.

Assistance and safety system

What awaits the consumer in the salon and when viewed from the outside?

Interior

Lada Vesta Comfort multimedia boasts modern advances in electronics and sufficient freedom of action inside, as well as a stylish exterior design:

the car is naturally equipped with an on-board computer;
a multifunction steering wheel, which can be mechanically adjusted in height and reach, and the transmission lever is covered in plastic, the seats are upholstered in fabric;
the version provides mechanical seat height adjustment, as well as lumbar support adjustment;
heating is installed only in the front seats;
the advantage of the rear seats is spaciousness and three headrests, this can be understood if you look at the photo of the Lada Vesta Comfort interior;
the steering wheel is equipped with a hydraulic booster, there are keys for controlling car functions, and it is also possible to control the audio system;
the Lada Vesta Comfort multimedia system has a 7-inch color touchscreen display; the Lada Vesta “Comfort” music console has 6 speakers, MP3, USB and radio;
The modification includes daytime running lights, halogen optics;
There are front electric windows, light tinting, adjustment and heated side mirrors.

Installing a multifunction steering wheel on Vesta in Comfort and Luxe configurations

Vesta and Vesta Cross differences: what is the difference between Lada Vesta and Vesta Cross: comparison, which is better

The multi-steering wheel on Vesta is only available in the Multimedia option package of the Comfort and Luxe trim levels. Owners of luxury cars are luckier, because... on these versions of cars there is partial preparation for connecting steering wheel buttons. The Lada.Online website was the first to compile detailed instructions for installing a multi-function steering wheel on Vesta in more affordable trim levels (Classic and Comfort).

We check that the steering column switch (volatile) has a connector for connecting the block with wires (photo No. 2 below), as well as the presence of a gray bundle of wires going into the steering wheel (photo No. 3 below). To do this, you need to remove the upper part of the plastic steering wheel cover (photo No. 1 below) by removing the two Torx screws from the bottom. And then, looking for gray wires, look between the steering wheel and the casing (or remove the airbag):

If there are gray wires for the buttons on the steering wheel (they should be on the “Lux” configuration), then modification will not be difficult (there are separate instructions).
If there are no wires (they were not found on the “Classic” and “Comfort” versions), then the modification will be a little more difficult (more on this later in the article).

Cruise control "Jet-Cruise VS" on Lada Vesta

Tuning Lada Vesta SV and Lada Vesta SW cross

To control all functions of cruise control and jetter, a four-button radio key fob (included in delivery) is used.

Description of Cruise Control on Vesta

The Cruise Control system on the Lada Vesta in the modern world of cars is an integral part of comfort and safety

The presence of such a system in a car allows you to reduce fatigue when traveling long distances, and also helps reduce fuel consumption, which is very important in modern conditions.

Most foreign-made cars have been equipped with such a gadget for a long time. Domestic cars, unlike foreign cars, until now were not equipped with the Cruise device. This made them less attractive to the car enthusiast who cares about such qualities as safety and comfort.

On a Vesta car, Cruise Control allows you to activate, set and change the speed in cruise mode while driving, switch jetter operating modes (“Economy”, “Dynamic”, “Sport”) and program jetter operation for the Lada Vesta Mechanica cruise control option, in other words, for a car equipped with a manual transmission.

It is advisable to use the operating modes of the Jetter e-gas corrector as follows: “Economy” mode when parking and driving in reverse, as well as in traffic jams and in case of heavy ice. This mode is also suitable for less experienced drivers. Dynamic mode for active driving in the city. And finally, the “Sport” mode is on the track.

This device appeared on the automotive electronics market under the name JET-CRUISE VS and is intended only for cars of the Lada Vesta family.

This device allows you to maintain a constant vehicle speed set by the driver in the range from 40 to 150 km/h. We offer you to buy cruise control in our online store and improve your car at minimal cost. If you have long wanted to find cruise control for your car, then your search can be considered over.

This is becoming especially important now that stationary speed measurement systems are increasingly being installed on roads.

This function works as follows: when the cruise control is turned off, the maximum permitted speed on a given section of the road is set, and if you exceed the set speed, JET-CRUISE signals this.

The JET-CRUISE kit includes Jetter. It is installed on cars with an electronic gas pedal “E-gas” and eliminates the delay in opening the throttle valve when pressing the gas pedal.

Cruise control on E-gas is a good way to increase the level of safety of your driving.

Installation of the JET-CRUISE VS cruise control system takes no more than 20 minutes.

Vesta cruise control can be purchased in our store.

To bet or not to bet

Car enthusiasts are discussing this issue with interest on forums. Proponents and opponents of cruise control are divided into two opposing camps.

Some prove that the device is useful: the legs are rested, gasoline is saved by 1-5%, there are no fines for speeding.

Others don’t like to feel detached from control: when you don’t press the accelerator pedal, you forget to look at the speedometer, and this can let you down in a critical situation.

Adaptive CC adapts to the general traffic flow, so you often have to “drag” behind slow trucks. The “carriage” nature of the movement tires some, while others enjoy being “carried around.”

In chaotic car traffic on bad roads, additional equipment is useless, even dangerous, so you need to control the situation yourself. But on autobahns and long stretches with excellent coverage, the device is indispensable.

Forum members are unanimous in their opinion that you cannot trust the automatic system more than yourself.

How much does a multifunction steering wheel cost on a Lada Vesta?

The cost of such a mini steering wheel for Lada Vesta in different online stores may vary. You should be aware that the multifunction steering wheel, the price of which is from 5.5 to 6.5 thousand rubles, can be with or without an airbag. For this you will have to pay an extra couple of thousand rubles. If you want to reupholster the steering wheel with genuine leather, it will cost an additional 2 thousand rubles. You can buy the Lada Vesta multifunction steering wheel in many online stores, as well as in large auto markets.

If buying a multifunction steering wheel is an expensive pleasure for you, then an alternative option would be to install an overlay with buttons. Such a device is cheaper, but connecting a pseudo multifunction steering wheel to the radio will be difficult. Therefore, it is easier to buy a Vesta multifunction steering wheel than to install and connect the buttons yourself. By the way, if you decide to buy a multifunction steering wheel for Vesta, then write down the article number - 8450006832. This will make it easier to search in catalogs.

Brief summary

At the end of all manipulations, the owner has the opportunity to use the buttons on the steering wheel to regulate the operation of not only the cruise control system, but also multimedia, as well as the speed limiter. It is worth noting that the work of the system does not end with these functions. You can also connect the Lada Vesta rear view camera here.

Today, manual cruise control is a fairly promising and rapidly developing development, actively used in many European countries. The device is useful in that, by visually contacting the driver, it creates significant safety conditions that prevent accidents. By combining cruise control with the emergency braking function, developers achieve a greater level of safety on the roads.

Selecting cruise control

As you know, this option is offered by the manufacturer in the “luxury” configuration of not only Grants, but also Kalinas, equipped with an automatic rifle.

However, more modest modifications (for example, “norm”) are not equipped with cruise control. But still, nothing prevents you from installing this device yourself. The easiest way is to mount a standard device.

This opportunity is available to the owners of the Grant (liftback or sedan) and the second Kalina, equipped with both manual transmission and AMT.

If an automatic transmission is installed, then the standard option will not work - you will have to use universal cruise control from other manufacturers.

It is important that the car also has a TsBKE. It is better to install a standard device equipped with 2 displays

It is important to clarify when purchasing which gearbox you have on the Grant. Each case requires a different cruise control

It is better to install a standard device equipped with 2 displays

It is important to clarify when purchasing which gearbox you have on the Grant. Each case requires a different cruise control

You will also need a steering column switch mounted on the right. In principle, the left one is also suitable - it will allow you to preserve the native design style. You will also need a new instrument panel with openings for the previously mentioned displays. After this element and switch are installed, it is necessary to reconfigure the ignition key and possibly change the ECU firmware.

Lada Largus Cross – a budget multi-purpose station wagon

Installed - looked

If you do not have the proper skills to communicate with the electrical equipment of modern cars, it is better not to undertake the installation of such devices yourself. First of all, this applies to the Drivenge system: we spent more than two hours fiddling around. Jet-cruise KH was able to install in half the time.

Drivenge.

Quite a lot of fuss. Drivenge is an extensive system with many connectors that need to be connected in the depths under the front panel. You will have to drill the steering column housing to install the steering column stalk. This control looks somewhat clumsy: you can’t press it - it’s just a place for buttons! And the design is frail: the attachment to plastic cannot be any other way. And the wires in the connectors are rolled loosely - unreliably.

Jet-cruise KH.

Much easier to install. You can place the self-powered remote control on two common batteries in any convenient place - either under your left hand or under your right hand. A drill will only be needed when installing the indicator LED. You don’t have to drill anything at all if you remove the indicator through a suitable slot, which is what we did in the first experiments. It will do for a short time, but, in general, it’s a little undignified to do so.

Approximate price 8600 rub.

The device allows you to turn on cruise control both at the current and at the last set speed. Changing settings - using the gas pedal or buttons in increments of 1 km/h. Automatic shutdown - when you press the brake or clutch pedal. The operating range is from 20 to 160 km/h. The “booster pedal” function has three operating modes: “economy”, “dynamics”, “sport”. It is possible to maintain an increased crankshaft speed at idle, for example, to warm up the engine. In the “sport” mode, the pedal seems too sharp, but the “economy” mode was quite pleasant as a winter mode on snowy and slippery roads.

Approximate price 11,200 rubles.

There is an audible warning when the speed limit set by the owner is reached or exceeded. The installation step is 1 km/h. The operating range is from 40 to 150 km/h. Changing settings - using the gas pedal or buttons. Automatic shutdown - when you press the brake or clutch pedal. The self-powered jetter implements one of three modes: “speaker”, “economy” or “sport”.

How to install multifunction steering wheel on Vesta

In addition to the steering wheel itself, you will need several small elements:

A special blue mini-ISO connector labeled C3.
The contact connector for the snail is BLS.
5 pieces of wire 3 meters long with a cross-sectional diameter of 0.5 mm. But it’s better to buy a ready-made wiring harness so that connecting the multifunction steering wheel is convenient.

Tools and materials required to connect the multifunction steering wheel to the radio:

Insulating tape.
Several types of screwdrivers, nails and knitting needles. Such a tool may be required to remove the airbag.
Torx bit T50 (TORX). The multifunction steering wheel is secured with a bolt with the same type and size of head. It is difficult to unscrew the bolt with another wrench.

Installing a multifunction steering wheel on Vesta “Lux” configuration is more convenient. It has wires for connecting the cruise control system, a “snail” (a switch under the steering wheel with wires for the buttons). This is easy to check. You need to remove the top half of the steering wheel cover and see what's there.

You can install the multifunction steering wheel on Vesta only with the ignition switch turned off. In addition, it is recommended to disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Otherwise, you risk short circuiting the wiring.

Required

multifunction steering wheel (catalog number: 8450006832);
steering column switch (volatile) with wires for the steering wheel buttons (catalog numbers: 8450006923, 8450006924), or buy a cable with a large number of tracks and replace it inside the volute;
BLS pins for cochlea connector.

To control the radio:

cable of 5 wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm;
blue mini-ISO connector C3 (for Classic or Comfort configuration);

To operate cruise control and speed limiter:

cable of 3 wires;
connector for connecting wires (radio and cruise control controls) to the snail block.

Multifunction steering wheel buttons on Vesta

Additional buttons on the steering wheel of the Lada Vesta make it possible to control the music system and cruise control. The music on the steering wheel is controlled by buttons located to the left and right of the horn button. On the left there is a cruise control unit that allows you to perform the following actions:

Enable – disable cruise control.
Speed limit - on and off.
Increase or decrease cruise control speed.
Suspension of cruise control, speed limit.
Setting the stored speed.

The music unit is located on the right side of the steering wheel, and can allow manipulation, including downloading music from the steering wheel. Although this is a joke, there is no such function...

Select the playback source - music while driving.
Mute. The multifunction steering wheel buttons allow you to quickly turn off music playback, and then turn it back on at the same volume as it was.
Navigation through the music menu.
Receive a call from your phone, hang up the call.
Adjust the volume – loud music while driving is not always useful, so you can turn the volume down or up.
Switch music tracks. When music is playing, the girl driving, especially the blonde one, can easily turn on a different song.

In addition to the listed functions, the Vesta multifunction steering wheel has a built-in airbag. There is also a standard beep. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to download music while driving on Vesta. Such a function is not provided here.

How to use the system?

On the Lada X Ray, cruise control is activated in the same way as on other VAZ models. The control unit is located on the steering wheel. The buttons are located on the left side. The system can be turned on when the speed is above 40 km/h. An emergency function is provided: autospeed is turned off if the brake pedal is pressed.

The buttons perform the following functions:

1, 4 - regulate speed;
2 — temporarily disables the system or enables restrictions;
3 — turns on and off autodrive mode;
5 — return to the last set speed value;
6 - controls the speed limiter.

The Lada Largus device is turned on by performing the following sequence of actions:

Switching on is done by pressing button 3. After this, you need to remove your foot from the gas pedal.
Using the “-” and “+” buttons, we set the desired speed, which is displayed on the monitor under the speedometer. Each press of the button changes the speed by 1 km/h, increasing or decreasing it.
You can use the brake pedal to brake if necessary. In this case, the system will automatically turn off.
You can return the previous settings by pressing the Res button (5). The car gradually accelerates after turning on the cruise control. If you need to accelerate quickly, you need to switch to manual mode.
To turn off autospeed, press button 3.

The system has a pneumatic actuator that controls the throttle valve, so there is no need to step on the gas. A special cable is connected to the throttle valve. When cruise control is activated, it controls the fuel supply by replacing the accelerator pedal. The unit, thanks to information from sensors, maintains the set speed.

Knowing how to operate the system, you can make any train, even the longest one, comfortable.

How to connect the multifunction steering wheel on Vesta “Lux”

Connecting the multifunction steering wheel in the luxury version of Vesta is more convenient. This configuration is distinguished by the presence of gray wires in the existing wiring harnesses.

The multifunction steering wheel snail is connected in the following order:

There are special holes on the sides of the steering wheel. Insert the rods into them and press. In this case, the airbag unit should rise

Pull it out, being careful not to damage the elements of the block. Disconnect all wires and remove the steering wheel. To do this, unscrew the central bolt and pull the steering wheel towards you

When pulling out the steering wheel, make sure that the wires pass through the hub hole and are not damaged. Installation of the multifunction steering wheel is carried out in the reverse order of operations.

Jetter and booster pedal

After installing such a device, the car, as a rule, begins to react differently to the gas pedal, without the characteristic delay. This immediate response creates the illusion of improved dynamics. It is clear that there is no real improvement and cannot be, since the gadget does not change the firmware of the “brains” of the motor. It only slightly changes the operating characteristics of the gas pedal: at the same accelerator position, more fuel is supplied to the engine, which is why it seems that the car drives easier and more dynamically. At the same time, the maximum speed and intensity of acceleration with the pedal pressed to the floor will not increase one iota. The same effect can be achieved without any jetters - just press the pedal harder. Note that such systems do not cause any harm to the engine - however, they do not bring any benefit.

Installing cruise control on a Lada Vesta Classic car

On Vesta cars in the classic configuration, you can install a speed control function. This is done by connecting a multifunction steering wheel, which has the necessary keys to control the program.

This additional equipment is connected in the following way:

Before starting work, disconnect the negative wire for safety reasons.
Remove the plastic steering wheel cover by screwing in two screws at the bottom and the airbag
Disconnect all wires and remove the steering wheel. It is pressed very tightly onto the cone, so it is not easy to remove
We put on a new steering wheel and connect the wires back.
We pull three cruise control wires through a special hole above the pedals and insert them into the block of the electronic control unit, which is located in the engine compartment
We connect the wires according to the diagram:

To carry out such a conversion, you need to buy several spare parts, namely:

Multifunction steering wheel or steering wheel pad with buttons
“Snail” as in the Lux package
Wires with chips to the ECU

A set of these parts can be purchased in specialized stores. The estimated price as of August 2022 is 9,000 rubles. If you want cruise control data to be displayed on the dashboard, you need to flash the control unit, which will cost about 2,000 rubles.

Luxury package

The Luxury package is the top version of Vesta 2022, and accordingly it is equipped noticeably richer than its junior versions, but it can also be equipped with a Multimedia package.

What is included in the Lux package

The Luxury has a case for glasses, illuminated entry and exit points in the doors, power windows for the rear windows, a heated windshield and rain and light sensors.

From the exterior, it is worth noting fog lights, 16-inch alloy wheels, a black lacquered radiator grille and glossy black door frames.

Technical characteristics of the Lux package

At the start of sales, the same single 1.6 liter engine is available. 106 hp, but unlike the lower trim levels, only automatic (“robot”) gearbox is available.

Package and Multimedia

An additional Multimedia package can be ordered in the suite. This package includes a 7-inch multimedia system with navigation and support for USB, AUX, Bluetooth, Hands free, there will be 6 speakers. Multimedia can be controlled using the buttons on the steering wheel. The package also includes a rear view camera and cruise control.

Package XV line Lada Vesta

! Since 2022, this package has disappeared from AvtoVAZ price lists and is not available for order.

This package gives the original Vesta an original appearance: spoiler, pedal covers, exhaust pipe tip and original wheels. The XV Line package is paired only with a robotic gearbox and costs 663 thousand rubles. Only the Lime version is more expensive.

Features of operation

Those who have driven cars equipped with standard cruisers will most likely not be attracted to such products - they are not very convenient to use and look unrespectable. But if such toys are new to someone, they may well come in handy.

Isn’t it dangerous to drive with these devices if they suddenly fail? After all, we interfered with the standard electrical equipment, breaking some of the car’s control circuits... We checked that when the power from both systems is turned off, the ability to control the car remains. Therefore, the manufacturers of both devices did not violate the old principle of “do no harm.”

I constantly want to press the new steering column “lever”, which also “breathes” along with the steering column casing.

The remote control is not backlit - on a dark country road you will have to manipulate it by touch. The indication only works at the moment of operation.

How to install standard cruise control on a Lada XRAY with a Renault-Nissan internal combustion engine

Currently, the Lada XRAY multifunction steering wheel only allows you to control the radio. And the left block of buttons, responsible for cruise control and speed limiter, is missing. AvtoVAZ promises to equip its crossover with this option in 2022, but for now you have to install cruise control yourself.

Depending on the engine (VAZ or Renault-Nissan), various engine control units (ECUs) are installed in the Lada XRAY engine compartment.

In this regard, the installation and connection of standard cruise control on a crossover varies. Next, let's look at the instructions for a 110-horsepower French engine (Renault-Nissan H4Mk).

For the VAZ engine, instructions are here.

For TOP and TOP Prestige trim levels you will need:

Multifunction steering wheel Lada Vesta with cruise control buttons, article number 8450006832. Approximate price from 3500 to 8500 rubles.
Button for turning on cruise control and speed limiter, article number - 255500002R. Cost from 1200 rubles.
ELM327 adapter for activating the function in the ECU and instrument panel. About 1000 rubles.

For simpler versions of the car you will additionally have to buy:

Steering column switch module (popularly “snail”), article number 8450020003. Prices from 6,000 rubles.
Wires that will have to be pulled from the passenger compartment to the engine compartment.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Remove the plug between the headlight range control and mirror adjustment. Behind it there is a connector with wires, which we connect to the button (255500002R). Install a button instead of a plug.

We replace the Lada XRAY steering wheel with a steering wheel from Lada Vesta (8450006832), but leave the right block of buttons from the crossover (from Vesta it will not work). The main reason for replacing the steering wheel is the presence of wiring inside it.

To do this, we disassemble it by prying the white retainer with a flat screwdriver. +12V can be taken from the steering angle sensor (pin No. 8), which is located under the steering wheel. It can also be borrowed from the plug connector of the cruise control button between the “mirror control” and the “headlight range control” (contact No. 1)

In simpler configurations, the steering column switch (snail) may not have the necessary wires. We change it to another one (8450020003). You will also need to stretch 4 wires to the block with the ECU wires (from the passenger compartment to the engine compartment through the hole with the cable for opening the hood):

Two wires to 3 and 4 contacts of the button (255500002R). If the speed limiter turns on instead of cruise control, simply swap the wires.
Two wires up to 2 and 8 pins of the snail connector. The connection order is not important here.

As a result, the cruise control and speed limiter will be activated from a button on the panel (these buttons on the steering wheel will be inactive, since they are not fixed!), and the functions will be controlled by buttons on the steering wheel. To have all the controls only on the steering wheel, you need to use a fixed button emulator (read below).

ACTIVATING A FUNCTION IN THE ECU AND INSTRUMENT PANEL

You need an “ELM 327” adapter and a laptop with the software installed:

drivers for ELM (we register the COM port)
Python
Pyren and CLIP base

We connect the ELM 327 to the OBD-II connector of the Lada XRAY. Then:

Run pyren.bat (make sure that the COM port of your adapter is specified in the file)
Scroll (using the N button) the list down until we see “logan 2/ sandero 2”, press the numbers against this inscription and enter.
Select the block -> INSTRUMENT PANEL (P/PAN), -> Changing Configuration -> ADJUST/LIMIT. SPEED —> yes —> 2—> yes.
The instrument cluster will reboot.

Select the block -> INJECTION SYSTEM -> Configurations scenarios -> PROGRAMMERS. SPEED LIMITS—>yes.
Exit the script and disconnect the adapter from the car.

Powertrains and transmission

Vehicle power unit Today, Lada Vesta is equipped with two four-cylinder 16-valve gasoline engines:

the base 1.6-liter power unit has a capacity of 106 “horses”;
a more powerful 122-horsepower engine of 1.8 liters in volume.

Vehicle performance depends on many factors, including the selected transmission.

106 hp, 1.6 l, manual transmission	106 hp, 1.6 l, robot	122 hp, 1.8 l, robot
Acceleration 0-100 km/h (s)	11.2	14.1	12.1
Maximum speed (km/h)	175	178	186
Average fuel consumption per 100 km (l)	6.9	6.6	7.2

In 2022, it will be possible to equip more powerful 122-horsepower engines with manual transmission. The new Lada Vesta will accelerate to hundreds in 10.2 seconds, and its top speed will increase to 188. Average fuel consumption in the combined cycle will be 7.5 liters per hundred kilometers.
