In the summer of the same year, AvtoVAZ also introduced manual controls – they took Lada Vesta as the basis. Special version was intended for people with a violation of the functions of one or both legs: the pedals can not touch, although they are also workers, and gas and brake control are carried out using a lever located to the left of the steering wheel. Vesta with manual control is produced with bodies sedan and station wagon. Granta has a similar modification.
