Hello everyone, today I want to look at how to turn on and off the low and high beam lights on a Lada Granta car. The GRANTA headlight control unit is located on the left under the air duct.
To activate the size, you need to set the switch to the middle position. The size will work whether you have the ignition on or off.
To turn on the low beam headlights on the Lada Granta, you need to move the switch to the extreme right position; it works when the ignition is on. If you turn off the ignition in this state, only the side lights will remain on.
The high beam control on the Grant is located to the left of the steering wheel; the steering column switch is responsible for this.
To turn on the high beam, you need to press yourself under the steering lever, and it is worth remembering that the high beam will turn on only if the low beam is on. To turn on the high beams, you press the switch as if it were operating on its own, regardless of whether you have the ignition on or not.
It is worth noting that after turning on the low or high beam lights, special warning icons light up on the instrument cluster. Well, that's all, we looked at turning on and off the high and low beam dimensions on a Lada Granta car. Goodbye everyone.

Adjusting the Lada Granta headlights is necessary if you do not have enough factory lighting settings. Do you need to turn the hydraulic corrector as far as possible? It's time to adjust the headlights. We’ll tell you how later.
Do-it-yourself adjustment of Lada Granta headlights
Let's look at what you need to quickly and smoothly adjust the headlights on a VAZ 2190:
- a room with a flat wall at a distance of at least five meters from the machine;
- Phillips or hex screwdriver;
- tape measure or long ruler;
- Place a weight equal to yours on the driver's seat (a person of your height or 2-3 bags of plaster - cement - nearby).
Step-by-step adjustment of low beam headlights on Grant
First, let's place the car in front of a flat wall at a distance of 5 meters from the headlight to the wall. Only on a flat surface.
Second, we measure the height from the low beam bulbs to the ground. We mark it on the wall in front of each lighthouse - this is the upper limit of the light beam.
Third: move 35 mm and make another sign. For what is shown in the picture.
Grant's Lighthouse falls into this mold. The upper edge of the beam has a bend - its upper edge should be equal to the height of the headlights from the ground. The bottom edge of the crack is at the same height minus 35 millimeters
Fourthly, we close the projector so that the light does not block the near beam. We turn on the neighbor.
Fifth: Use the lamb to adjust the light, adjust the height of the light. The goal is to have the top edge line up with the marks on the wall. See the example in the photo above.
Access to adjusting the headlights on the Grant is easy. This connector only adjusts the height of the light
Sixth: close the other beacon and configure the second one.
Seventh: if you need to correct the left-right light, use the long valves located on the headlights themselves.
Rotate these knobs to adjust the light horizontally - left/right
Side doors Lada Granta
To open the door from the inside, pull handle 1 towards you. To open or close the window, use handle number 3 Door handle number 2
To lock the door from the inside, press the lock button. To unlock the lock, pull out the button.
The rear door can be locked by pressing the lock button while the door is open and slamming it shut. The front doors cannot be locked in this way, since the lock button does not lower when the door is open. To prevent children from inadvertently opening the rear doors while driving, press down the child lock lever and slam the door. Now the door can only be opened from the outside.
When do you need to adjust headlights on a Grant?
The main reason for working with headlights is insufficient street lighting. There are many reasons for this:
- The car comes from the factory with a driver weight setting of 75 kg. This is a universal setting - if you have a different weight, you need to adjust it immediately after purchase;
- the hydraulic corrector has failed: when it fails, the headlights light up incorrectly or are not adjusted at all;
- movement over unevenness and potholes over time leads to changes in the settings of the light beam;
- I’ll buy a car second-hand - it’s not known exactly how the light was installed by the previous owner.
Hazard switch
When you press the switch button, all direction indicators and the signaling device installed in the button light up with a flashing light. When you press the button again, the alarm is turned off.
How to turn on near or far
The light switch on the Grant is located at the bottom left of the steering wheel, like the 10th family.
Switching the knob clockwise provides sidelight and low beam modes.
To turn on long range:
- turn the lantern handle to the extreme right position clockwise - the adjacent one will light up;
- move forward the switch on the left steering column (responsible for the turn signals);
- your high beam will light up - and a blue headlight icon will appear on the dash - keep an eye on it so you don't leave the car with your high beam on when you no longer need it.
This icon indicates that the far
Rear fog lights
Rear fog lamp switch. The switch on the right is responsible for turning it on and off when the low beam is on. Pressing the switch the first time turns on the fog lights; pressing it again cancels the fog lights.
Front fog light switch, only if equipped. To turn them on, press the button on the left, also with the side lights on. Pressing again turns off the front fog lights.
What is a hydraulic corrector and how does it work?
The hydrocorrector of the headlights on the Grant starts up. This device adjusts the headlights up and down depending on the vehicle's load.
You will have to configure it yourself - there is no automatic adjustment.
The corrector control is located under the light switch. Position 0 corresponds to a car with one person: the driver.
Operating principle:
- the handle controls the corrector hydraulic cylinder;
- the cylinder regulates the pressure in the hoses going to the pushers;
- buttons are installed in the headlights - the higher the pressure in the pipes, the stronger the liquid inside the pusher presses on the rod;
- The position of the deepest/furthest rod controls the adjustment of the highest/lowest headlight.
The operating principle of the hydraulic corrector is shown below:

What to do if the hydraulic corrector is broken
Have both headlights or one of them stopped responding to the corrector at the same time? Most likely your pushrod is broken.
If you want to secure the pushrod, there are two ways.

Option 1 is barbaric.
No additional settings.

A set of concealer costs about 700 rubles - it may be easier to replace it
How to replace a hydraulic corrector with an electromechanical one
Do you want to replace the hydraulic corrector with an electric corrector (EMKF)? The process is simple, as there are ready-made solutions from the factory.
Replacement requires only straight arms, depending on the EMCF manufacturer:
- disassemble the old hydraulic corrector;
- instead of the cylinder, we install a new control unit from the corrector - we transfer the wiring according to the instructions;
- we pull the threads through the elastic band through which the plumbing pipes passed;
- We put the regulators in the regular places in the headlights.
Here the process is described step by step, based on personal experience.
Nozzles of the interior ventilation and heating system
The nozzles are designed to regulate the air flow from the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system. The air flow is regulated by moving the nozzle deflectors, and the direction of the air flow is by turning the deflectors in the appropriate direction.
Let's summarize
- To adjust the headlights of the Lada Granta, you need five meters of space, a machine, a Phillips screwdriver and a tape measure;
- to turn on the light in the trunk, turn on the adjacent one and open the trunk;
- You can repair the hydraulic corrector yourself, or you can buy a new one for up to a thousand rubles.

Having driven a VAZ2109 for 9 years and gotten used to its dim headlights (high beam is the same as other models), I was surprised by the quality of the Lada Granta headlights. It should probably be of this standard, but I came out of the trees recently and for me it was a nice bonus for such a good car.
Cigarette lighter Lada Granta
To use the cigarette lighter, press the button on its moving part. After heating the coil for about 10-20 s, the movable part of the cigarette lighter will automatically return to its original position with a click - the cigarette lighter can be removed for use.
Attention!!!
In a variant version of the Lada Granta, instead of the cigarette lighter, a socket can be installed to connect additional 12-volt electrical appliances with a power of no more than 120 W.
Turning on the headlights
As in foreign cars, the headlights of the Lada Granta immediately light up when the key is inserted into the ignition. Since Russia has a law against driving with headlights on everywhere, this is a nice bonus since the headlights turn on automatically when you are about to drive somewhere. It also solves the problem of forgotten headlights: when the key is removed from the ignition, the headlights go out. You've probably already seen cars abandoned by their owners with low beams on and the battery quietly discharging.
By the way, it was noticed that when the starter is moved, the headlights go out so as not to torment the battery.
To turn on the headlights yourself, switch from high to low, you need to find the switch (in the image below it is marked in yellow):

Adjusting the angle of incidence of light from the headlights
There is also a special switch for adjusting the headlight angle (marked with a red arrow in the picture). It has many positions and is very tightly adjustable (in theory, it doesn't need to be adjusted very often, once set and forgotten).
When adjusting, I set the angle as large as possible so that there is more illuminated space. While this may blind oncoming cars, other foreign cars have an even more brash attitude towards other drivers.
