Cars equipped with the electrical system voltage of 12 V. "Mass" of the car (neutral) is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, which is basically maintenance free.

To start the engine using the starter motor with a positive switching gears. Starter switch is part of the ignition, and the closure of his contacts included pulling the starter relay. Power generator production of Bosch on all models - 120 A.

The generator is driven by a belt from the crankshaft. Electromechanical control located on the rear cover, controls the charging current.

The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster is used to determine the serviceability of the generator and the voltage regulator.
