The models of cars considered in the present manual can be equipped with system of additional safety (SRS). Before starting performance of any works near blocks of safety cushions, a steering column or the dashboard, disconnect SRS in order to avoid receiving injuries at its casual operation (see. Onboard electric equipment). It is easy to distinguish an electrical wiring of a chain of SRS on yellow color of isolation.

Bodies of the models considered in the present manual have a frame design. The bearing frame consists of two longitudinal lateral beams executed in the form of steel pipes of rectangular section and connected among themselves by cross-pieces. Cross beams are welded to longitudinal, or fasten to them by means of rivets or bolts. Body assembly is fixed on a frame by means of the support equipped with rubber pillows and can be completely dismantled.

Some of body elements, the most vulnerable in case of accident, have bolted fixture and can be easily replaced in an individual order. Are among such removable components, bumpers, door panels, a cowl, a cover of a luggage compartment and all glasses.
