Streszczenie treści zawartej na stronie nr. 2
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.
