The Vesta instrument cluster has a built-in trip computer (MK), which has a number of useful functions that are not found in the on-board computers (BC) of many cars (including those of competitors). For example, you can find out the voltage of the on-board network or the speed limiter. Read the instructions for using the bookmaker.
Setting the clock on the Lada Vesta on-board computer
In order to enter the clock setting mode, you need to use the top button of the on-board computer (), by long pressing this key you will get to the mode you need, how can you determine that you are already there? This is very simple, if you are on the right track, then the on-board computer should leave on its display only the numbers responsible for the current time, and one of these numbers (the first from the left) will flicker continuously. Each time digit is adjusted separately and does not depend on each other; in order to adjust the first digit, use the on-board computer buttons (,↓) with short presses. As soon as you set the first digit, move on to the next one; this can be done by long pressing the top button of the on-board computer (). Do these steps with each digit, then leave the time setting mode.
Final nuances and completion of work
Using the same scheme, we change the values of tens of minutes and minutes.
The current time has been set, all that remains is to record it . To do this, it is important to correctly exit the editing mode without resetting the device readings again. You need to hold the arrow up not for a short time, but for a long time. Everything is ready, the time is set, the clock is set.
According to its principle, the procedure for setting the clock on the Lada Vesta is not very difficult. If you have basic skills in using “antediluvian” electronic watches from the end of the last century, then everything will work out great. You don’t have to turn to specialists, but set it up as needed with your own hands.
Direct time setting
The time is set according to this scheme.
You need to enter edit mode . To do this, you need to press and hold the “up” arrow for about three seconds. At this moment, only the numbers “0.0 km” in the second line from the left of the display will start flashing on the screen. While in edit mode, you need to press the same arrow once. The clock indicator on the screen will blink, for example, “08:35”.
You will need to hold down the top key again for a few seconds to start changing the clock.
Only the first digit “0” from “08:35” will begin to pulsate. Now you can use the arrows to change the readings of tens, of which we only have two. To go to the hour units, hold down the “up” button again for a couple of seconds, after which “8” will begin to pulsate. Using the joystick we set the numbers we need from “0” to “9”.
Turn off the seat belt buzzer
On LADA cars, daytime running lights light up automatically after the engine is started. In some situations, there is no need for DRLs to operate (for example, during auto start at night).
To disable the DRL on LADA cars (Granta, Kalina and Priora), in which the light is controlled using the MUS (lighting control module), you should set the block knob to the middle position between the “circle” and “dimensions”.
To turn off the DRL on LADA cars (XRAY, Vesta and Largus), in which the light is controlled using the left steering column switch, you should similarly set the position of the regulator to an intermediate position.
On Lada Granta, Lada Kalina, Lada Priora and Lada 4×4 cars it is possible to turn off the sound signal of an unfastened seat belt programmatically. To do this, you need to press and hold the daily mileage reset button on the instrument panel, and within 10 seconds fasten and unfasten the belt 2 times. To turn it on: the same procedure, only you need to fasten and unbuckle the belt 3 times.
Attention! Always wear your seat belts!

Maintenance regulations for Lada Vesta: features
Each car owner operates his car at his own individual rhythm, so it is impossible to determine a single annual mileage rate for all drivers. AvtoVAZ has set the frequency of maintenance of its cars in such a way as to take into account the interests of both those who spend most of their lives behind the wheel and those who get into the car a couple of times a week.

Therefore, the moment when it is time to go to the service for the next maintenance of the Lada Vesta was established in two ways:
- every 15 thousand kilometers;
- no later than 12 months after the previous repair.
You need to base it on what happens first.
Options for replacing the standard BC
There are many models from different manufacturers on the car computer market. Unfortunately, most of them cannot be used for Lada Vesta due to incompatibility. But there are BC models that are adapted to various AvtoVAZ models and have proven themselves well. Such brands include Multitronics. The company produces on-board computers for a wide range of cars, with advanced diagnostic functions, navigation, audio and TV systems.
The models produced have various mounting options, and at the owner’s request they can be placed on a dashboard or secured in other convenient places. Below are Multitronics BC models with different types of mounting.
In addition to the above functions of a standard computer, Multitronics has very useful additional ones:
- Displays information about vehicle malfunctions, errors, their codes, and also duplicates this message in voice mode.
- Sends a voice notification to the driver about the need to refuel the car.
- Conducts quality control of the filled fuel and displays an alert on the screen.
- Reminds the driver to turn off the lights or low beams.
- It is a full-fledged navigator.
- Allows you to use multi-channel television.
- Automatically maintains the set temperature in the cabin.
Deactivating daytime running lights
Daytime running lights on the Lada Vesta turn on automatically - you just need to turn the ignition switch to two extreme positions. DRLs were invented in order to increase traffic safety on the road, but we must admit that even, for example, at night they shine quite brightly and are sometimes completely inappropriate.
An example of this is an alarm system with auto start. If the owner activates this mode, then at night those around him will already know that the car’s engine is running - this increases the risk of vandalism or even theft. Therefore, some owners of domestic compact cars decided to turn off the DRLs.
This is done very simply. You just need to set the steering column lever to an intermediate position between 0 and the “dimensions” label. That's it, daytime running lights will not work for us when the ignition is activated.

Optional equipment
For Vesta that is not equipped with a BC, you can buy an additional on-board computer, and the service center will connect, configure and control it in the same way as the standard one.
All described functions are supported, and some models have a function for displaying error codes. The price of an on-board computer for Lada Vesta can range from 4,500 to 9,000 rubles. The cost depends on the manufacturer and the controlled functions. When surveying Lada owners, positive feedback was received about BC. We can conclude: it is quite convenient and displays the readings necessary for the driver.
The on-board computer has now become an integral attribute of a modern car. The promising domestic model Lada Vesta is also equipped with such a useful device.
Compared to a route controller, which usually has less advanced functionality, the computer is responsible for monitoring and adjusting a number of important options and parameters. These include not only common indicators, such as speed or consumption, but also diagnostic data about the presence of malfunctions. The main thing is to understand how to configure the device.
Reviews
| № | Positive |
| 1. | Mikhail Aleksandrovich , 41 years old (drive2.ru): I have one of the first models, the dashboard lighting in bright weather is insufficient, but I have already adapted. I didn’t reflash it, I darkened the side windows a little, and readability improved. |
| 2. | Vitaly Nikolaevich , 38 years old (prom.ua): I reflashed the dashboard, the brightness of the dashboard illumination increased. Now instrument readings are visible at any time of the day. |
| 3. | Gennady , 30 years old (autotoday.com): I ordered the installation of a 2-channel PWM controller from a service station, the guys completed it in an hour and a half.

Testing the instrument cluster
To perform an autotest of the instrument panel, hold down the daily mileage reset button and turn on the ignition. The instrument panel arrows will swing a few times and all indicators will light up. The test will end automatically.
On Vesta this is done like this:
- Turn off the ignition;
- Press and hold the “up” button of the on-board computer;
- Turn on the ignition;
- All hands should make a full move, and all indicator lamps should light or flash.
Protection of the obd vesta diagnostic connector from theft
Criminals can use the diagnostic connector to steal Vesta. They break into the driver's door, connect to the OBD input, remove the vehicle's security, and start the engine without having the ignition key. To protect the car, you can block access to the 16-pin window (as you remember, it is not covered by anything).
Protection for contact with the “brains” from the interior looks like a small metal box with holes for bolts. The cover consists of two parts, one of which is removable (so that you can use the contact at any time). The protection is attached with a bracket to the internal pillars of the dashboard, and its two parts are connected to each other with turnkey bolts in the form of “secrets”. Every year, manufacturers come up with a new type of secret key to make their product even more secure.
Transformer tank vibration measurement
Vibration measurements are carried out with a portable vibration signal analyzer of the Diana-2M, ViAna-1 or Vibro Vision-2 brand, which is included in the delivery of the Vesta system. The vibration sensor is fixed on the surface of the transformer tank using a magnet. For ease of installation of the vibration sensor, an insulating rod is usually used, which is standard at the substation.
Information about the vibration of the transformer tank during the measurement process is recorded in the device’s memory. Its volume is sufficient to store information about the inspection of more than 40 transformers. Next, the data from the device is transferred to a computer, where it is accumulated and stored in the database of the Vesta expert program.
Diagnostics of the quality of pressing of windings and magnetic core of a transformer in the Vesta expert program is carried out automatically. The user only needs to select from the database two vibration measurements in different operating modes of the transformer being examined.
To quantify the quality of the compact, calculated “condition factors” of the compact are used. This makes it possible to unify diagnostic conclusions for almost all types of transformers used in practice.
