How to activate the cruise control indication on Lada Vesta

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:

1. Enable – disable cruise control.
2. Speed ​​limit - on and off.
3. Increase or decrease cruise control speed.
4. Suspension of cruise control, speed limit.
5. Setting the stored speed.

Lada Vesta is the first AvtoVAZ car to have a multifunction steering wheel installed.

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...

1. Select the playback source - music while driving.
2. 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.
3. Navigation through the music menu.
4. Receive a call from your phone, hang up the call.
5. Adjust the volume – loud music while driving is not always useful, so you can turn the volume down or up.
6. 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.

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.

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.

How to install multifunction steering wheel on Vesta

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

1. A special blue mini-ISO connector labeled C3.
2. The contact connector for the snail is BLS.
3. 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:

1. Insulating tape.
2. Several types of screwdrivers, nails and knitting needles. Such a tool may be required to remove the airbag.
3. 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

Need to buy:

• 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.

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 steering wheel of the Lada Vesta is secured with great force, so it is recommended to remove it by rocking it to the sides, being careful.

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

1. There are special holes on the sides of the steering wheel. Insert the rods into them and press.
2. In this case, the airbag unit should rise. Pull it out, being careful not to damage the elements of the block.
3. 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.
4. Installation of the multifunction steering wheel is carried out in the reverse order of operations.

How to connect the multifunction steering wheel to the radio

The connection procedure is as follows:

1. First, find the gray wires.
2. Connect them to the steering wheel connector. This will enable the cruise control system to operate.
3. Connecting the multifunction steering wheel to the radio is done by adding 5 wires to the existing connector block using BLS terminals. The second end of the harness is equipped with a mini-ISO connector. It will be inserted into the radio socket.

How to install Vesta multifunction steering wheel of other configurations

In simple configurations of the Lada Vesta, the design will have to be modified more. You will have to connect the cruise control system yourself, as this is not provided in the packages. Additionally, you will need a set of three wires with a snail.

The Lada Vesta multi-steering wheel in such cases is installed in the following order:

1. Remove the regular steering wheel from the car.
2. Install the new Vesta multifunction steering wheel, being careful.
3. Route the wiring harness.
4. Connect it to the connector. All operations are carried out by analogy, as in the “Lux” configuration.

The three-wire harness is pulled through the technological hole, which is located above the pedals. The harness is routed to the electronic control unit. The electrical connection of the multifunction steering wheel must be made according to the diagram shown below.

Contact No. 11 of the block should receive 12 volts. Check this parameter using a voltmeter or multimeter.

The second end of the wiring harness is inserted into the block to connect the multi-steering wheel snail. This end of the harness runs along with the radio wiring.

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.”

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 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.

Needed or not

You can buy a multifunction steering wheel and install it on your Lada Vesta yourself. This will make your car much more comfortable and convenient. You don't have to reach for the stereo to change the song or adjust the cruise control. The difficult part in installing the multifunction steering wheel is strict adherence to the wiring diagram.

If your Vesta is not “Lux”, but a regular package, and there are no gray wires in it, then the likelihood of mixing up the connection is greater. Therefore, be more careful when connecting the Vesta multifunction steering wheel.

How does cruise control work on Lada Vesta and how to turn it on?

A correctly configured device ensures strict adherence to the selected speed without exceeding and regardless of the weight load the vehicle is experiencing. The system perfectly regulates the position of the throttle valve (limiter), based on the readings of the corresponding indicators. The faster the information reaches the cruise control computer system, the more stable and safe it operates.

On the right side of the Lada Vesta steering wheel there is a multimedia system, and on the opposite side there is a cruise control unit, which contains the following buttons:

• turning on and off the operation of the entire system;
• correcting and regulating speed limits;
• disabling both functions for a while.

There are also buttons here that allow you to return to the last saved presets.

You need to understand that the device accelerates the car rather slowly; if this does not suit you, switch to manual control mode.

The sequence for enabling this function is:

1. When driving, the power button is pressed and the foot is removed from the gas pedal.
2. We change the speed that will be displayed on the monitor by pressing the desired adjustment key (+-). The brake will always be a priority when it comes to stopping momentum.
3. The key that turns on the cruise control function also stops it.

Activation via PC

We install the Ddt4all application on the laptop (download).

How to activate the function

:

1. Run ddt4all. Select a port. Select an adapter. Check the box and click Connect.
2. In the window that opens, click the button marked with a circle (with a magnifying glass).
3. Select search by CAN.

1. Go along the path Clio V => Cluster/TDB => Cluster C1A_CMFB15-40ph2_V2.20 => Configuration => Configuration1 => Language_CF => change to Arabic.
2. Enable Expert mode (in the menu at the top, second icon from the left).
3. Save with the “Send” button

Let us remind you that you can also activate cruise control using the Usbdm OSBDM V4.95 programmer. To do this, the instrument panel will need to be removed, disassembled and flashed.

By the way, using the ELM327 adapter you can also:

Algorithm for installing the multi-steering wheel on the Lada Vesta in the Classic configuration

Controlling cruise control from the steering wheel First, you should make sure that the switch under the steering wheel has a connector into which the wires are connected. In addition, the presence of a gray bundle of wires stretched inside the panel is necessary. To get them, you need to remove the top cover of the steering wheel by unscrewing two bolts. The gray bundle of wires should be in this area. If there is none, installing cruise control on the Lada Vesta will take a little longer.

To replace, you need to buy cruise control dop62, a steering column stalk (switch), which is equipped with wires for the keys, and BLS contacts for the connector. To install multimedia you need: a cable of five half-centimeter wires and a mini-ISO. An additional three-pin cable connects the speed limiter.

1. We stretch three wires to the electronic control unit through the gap above the pedals and connect them according to the diagram.
2. Next, we insert the wiring that controls the multimedia there. Mini-ISO must also be installed in the slot. If the Lada Vesta radio is not factory-made, then we make a specific adapter.

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.
