WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

" Just what I needed for my 1962 Thunderbird! Before installing this, I would get leg cramps holding the throttle constant while cruising, I swear the throttle return spring was originally a bed spring. Installed this beauty before taking my trip down RT 66 in 2015. Finally, 7500 miles in comfort! "

Jim H. - United States

250-1223 Universal Electronic Cruise Control

" This is great. It installed pretty easily. I put it on my F-350 so I can park easier since my front camera is obstructed my LED lights and a light bar. I easily installed the sensors in the air dam below the bumper. "

Schawn D. - United States

Forward-Facing Parking Sensor System

" This installed very easily. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs this feature to make their car seat more comfortable. But this does require a high level of car handy skills, as you need to significantly disassemble a car seat. "

Sam G. - United States

Universal Lumbar Support System

" I installed this in a 2018 RZR RS one. I ride in the winter and have only a windshield. I installed the seat heater and it keeps me very warm. "

Ron B. - United States

Universal Seat Heater

" Once installed, the Jeep is more noticeable as one would expect. This is a very good safety upgrade--I was surprised DRL's were not standard on Wranglers. I have had compliments from other Wrangler owners. "

Chevy Cruze: How to Use Cruise Control

Cruise control is a cool way to put your vehicle on autopilot, so to speak. In this setting, the vehicle can maintain speeds of 25mph or more without having to press the accelerator. However, it will not set at below 25mph. In addition, the feature disconnects when the brake is applied.

While this is a wonderful feature, be aware that cruise control can be dangerous on winding roads, in traffic, and on wet, slippery, or icy roads. With that being said, here are the steps to follow to set your Cruise Control.

Cruise Control Icons

Cancel cruise control, the safety of cruise control, enable cruise control.

• Press the middle RES/+ button down to set your speed. The white icon will now turn Green  indicating Cruise Control is Set and Active .
• You can now take your foot off of the accelerator and ride.
• Pressing the far left icon with an X or the brake will disengage the speed and will save the previous set speed.
• To resume the previous speed, press RES/+ UP.
• Press the bottom of the button to the right to turn the system OFF .
• Dash-looking clock with an arrow (On/Off) – Press to turn the system On/Off; Be sure the system is off when not using it, as if RES/+ or -SET is active, you could accidentally hit either, which will cause your vehicle to enter cruise control mode
• SET/− (Set/Coast) – Used to set or decrease your desired speed
• RES/+  – To maintain the desired speed or to accelerate the set speed. To increase the speed, press this button. Each press will increase the speed to 1 mph faster.

There are five ways to end cruise control:

• Step on the brake.
• Press the X icon on the steering wheel.
• Press the clutch pedal for several seconds or shift to Neutral (manual transmissions).
• Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).

When used correctly and in appropriate driving conditions, cruise control can be a safe driving aid that can reduce driver fatigue and help maintain a consistent speed, which can help prevent speeding and potential accidents caused by abrupt speed changes. However, like any driving aid, cruise control has its limitations, and it is not a substitute for attentive and safe driving.

Here are a few tips for safe use of cruise control:

• Use it on appropriate road conditions: Cruise control is generally not recommended for use in areas with heavy traffic, hilly or winding roads, or inclement weather conditions.
• Avoid distractions: Avoid distractions such as texting, eating, or changing the radio station, as this can impair your ability to react quickly to changing road conditions.
• Always keep your foot near the brake pedal: Be ready to slow down or stop the vehicle if needed.
• Follow recommended speed limits: Cruise control should never be used to exceed posted speed limits, and drivers should always adjust their speed manually when entering areas with different speed limits.

** If you are unable to activate this feature on the first try, repeat the steps. If you are still unsuccessful, contact the dealership for assistance or consult your vehicle user’s manual.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Overview

Is the 2016 chevrolet cruze a good used car.

A used 2016 Chevy Cruze is an excellent choice for compact car shoppers. It has a smooth ride, a powerful engine, and some of the highest fuel economy estimates in the segment. Additionally, the Cruze has an upscale interior with roomy, supportive front seats. However, it has a below-average reliability rating, and tall passengers won’t be happy with its poor back-seat headroom.

Why You Can Trust Us

Our used car rankings and reviews are based on our analysis of professional automotive reviews, as well as data like crash test scores, reliability ratings, and ownership expenses. We researched 23 Chevy Cruze reviews to help you decide if it’s the right used car for you.

The U.S. News Best Cars team has been ranking cars, trucks, and SUVs since 2007, and our staff has a combined 75 years of automotive industry experience. To ensure our impartiality, our staff never takes expensive gifts or trips from car companies, and an outside team handles the advertising on our site.

How Much is a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze?

Based on more than 4,800 listings, the average price for a used 2016 Chevy Cruze ranges from about $11,000 to $16,000. The average price paid for a used 2016 Cruze is about $13,300. However, your pricing will vary depending on the car’s condition, mileage, location, and features.

See the Best Used Car Deals »

How Much Does the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Cost to Own?

The 2016 Cruze has estimated five-year ownership costs of more than $23,000, including gas, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. Some competing compact cars are less expensive over time, including the 2016 Mazda3 , which has five-year ownership costs of just over $20,350.

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Cruze?

A new 2018 Chevrolet Cruze will typically cost you about $19,200, while a used 2016 Cruze has an average price of nearly $13,300. Purchasing a used model could save you nearly $6,000 over a new model. For the additional cost, the 2018 model gets you a slight bump in fuel economy, and it comes standard with Chevy’s Teen Driver Safety monitoring system, which limits the car’s maximum speed limit and stereo volume for others driving your car. The 2018 model is also available in a hatchback body style or with a diesel engine, neither of which the 2016 model offers. However, if you’re not interested in a hatchback and can do without the diesel engine and minor feature updates, the 2016 model is the better value.

Read about the new Chevrolet Cruze »

If you’d prefer a new 2018 compact car, know that it will cost you more than a used 2016 Cruze. There are few compact cars that are cheaper than a 2016 Cruze. In fact, many top-ranked 2018 subcompact cars are also more expensive.

How Reliable Is the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze?

The 2016 Cruze has a reliability rating of three out of five from J.D. Power. This is an average score across the automotive market, but it’s a bit below average for the class. Rivals like the Kia Forte and Toyota Corolla have slightly higher reliability scores of 3.5.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Recalls

As of this writing, the 2016 Cruze has three safety recalls. One relates to the electronic park lock lever allowing the driver to remove the key from the ignition without putting the car in park. That increases the risk that the car will roll away. Another recall reports misaligned headlights, which could reduce nighttime visibility. The third recall involves the increased risk of injury during a crash; the front seatbacks can break due to incorrect welding.

Which Model Year of the Chevrolet Cruze Is Best?

The Cruze was fully redesigned for 2016, so it’s a great used model to consider to get many of the car’s latest features. The 2016 model received a lighter frame for better handling and an all-new turbocharged four-cylinder engine that increased fuel economy over previous models. The 2016 Cruze comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and it’s available with safety features like side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, lane keep assist, and forward collision warning. Aside from the addition of the Teen Driver safety system, a diesel engine, and a hatchback model, the 2017 Cruze is largely the same as the previous model year. Therefore, you may want to consider a nearly identical 2016 Cruze to save money.

Compare the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Cruze »

Which Used Chevrolet Cruze Model Is Right for Me?

The 2016 Chevy Cruze sedan is available in four trims: L, LS, LT, and Premier. The Cruze L comes with a vast standard features list that includes a 7-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and remote keyless entry. Few rivals come with as much standard technology. The Cruze LS trim has an available automatic transmission. The Cruze LT comes with cruise control and satellite radio, while the Cruze Premier adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, proximity keyless entry, and a remote car starter.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Safety

Score: 9.3/10.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze the highest rating of Good in its side and moderate front overlap crash tests. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Cruze a perfect five-star rating in front crash testing, and four out of five stars in its overall, side, and rollover safety evaluations.

The Cruze comes standard with a rearview camera. There are many available active safety features, including rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, and blind spot monitoring. These features are part of the Driver Confidence package, which is available only in LT and Premier models. The Driver Confidence II package, available only in the Premier trim, adds forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Versus the Competition

Which is better: 2016 chevrolet cruze or 2016 ford focus.

If you prefer spirited driving to comfortable cruising, the Ford Focus will better suit you. It has a range of powerful engines and sharp driving dynamics. Still, the Cruze is the more practical option for daily commuting. It features a more user-friendly infotainment system, a larger cabin, a better reliability rating, and more available active safety features.

Which Is Better: 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or 2016 Toyota Corolla?

Both the Cruze and Toyota Corolla have smooth, cushioned rides. In addition, these compact cars deliver great gas mileage and have easy-to-use infotainment systems. Still, the Cruze has a bit more to offer, including a livelier engine and a larger suite of standard and available technology and safety features. However, those in the back will prefer the Corolla’s roomier rear seats.

Which Is Better: 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or 2016 Kia Forte?

The Kia Forte has a few advantages over the Cruze. The Forte comes with more options, including three available engines and three body styles. It also has a spacious interior, and even tall passengers can fit comfortably in the back seats. The Kia sedan has a similar trunk capacity to the Chevy, but the Forte hatchback offers several more cubic feet of space. A Cruze hatchback is available with the 2017 model, but not the 2016. Still, the Cruze offers a more comfortable ride than the Forte, along with several additional standard and available features.

2016 Cruze Performance

How does the 2016 chevrolet cruze drive.

The front-wheel-drive 2016 Cruze is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 153 horsepower and delivers more than enough power for getting up to highway speeds. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, though most models come with the available six-speed automatic. The Chevy Cruze glides smoothly over bumps, delivering good ride comfort. It handles well around corners, though its steering could use better feedback.

Does the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Get Good Gas Mileage?

Fuel economy numbers are excellent; the Cruze can earn up to 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.

2016 Cruze Interior

How many people does the 2016 cruze seat.

The Chevrolet Cruze seats five on cloth upholstery. Those seated up front will enjoy plenty of headroom and legroom, as well as good thigh and back support. However, back-seat occupants may wish for more legroom. Heated front seats, heated rear seats, and leather upholstery are available.

How Many Car Seats Fit in the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze?

For securing child seats, there are two sets of lower anchors on the rear outboard seats and three top tether anchors behind the rear seats. The 2016 model was not rated by the IIHS, but the very similar 2017 model received a Marginal rating for its ease of use. The IIHS noted that attaching car seats can be difficult because the lower anchors are located deep in the seats.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Features

Chevy equips the Cruze with a long list of standard tech and convenience features, including a 7-inch touch screen, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth, a USB port, a rearview camera, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which integrates some smartphone functions into the infotainment system. The user-friendly touch-screen system responds quickly to inputs and has straightforward menus. The Cruze Premier is available with an 8-inch touch screen and a navigation system.

Full Edmunds Review: 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan

The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze has been completely redesigned. The previous-generation Cruze, now called the Cruze Limited, is also still on sale.

Edmunds says

Small sedans are getting better every year, and for proof you only need to check out the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Cruze. You'll like the way the Cruze sips gas and how its handsome cabin has a surprising amount of room for you and your passengers. There's plenty of the latest safety and in-car technology, too. Ready to find out if this new Cruze is right for you?

Vehicle overview

Just like the midsize Malibu sedan last year and the full-size Impala in 2014, the compact 2016 Chevrolet Cruze has been transformed. Outside, the styling is sharp and adventurous, in stark contrast to the previous Cruze's handsome but still largely anonymous sheet metal. Inside, the inspired dashboard design includes upgraded materials and fresh technology features. This redesigned Cruze could very well be a prime pick for small sedan shoppers this year.

The 2016 Cruze has a fresh look, highlighted by sleeker curves and more pronounced fender arches.

For motivation, the 2016 Cruze comes with a standard turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which Chevy has revised from the previous model year to make 15 more horsepower and 29 more pound-feet of torque. This engine has less work to do, too, as Chevrolet says the 2016 Cruze has shed about 250 pounds. Pleasingly, the redesigned Cruze is also a bit roomier, particularly for rear seat passengers. Four adults can now fit with comfort to spare.

In keeping with other 2016 GM models, the new Cruze's standard MyLink touchscreen infotainment system (it used to be optional) provides quicker response times compared to last year's version, as well as both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Other newly available interior features include a Bose audio system, wireless phone charging, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Moreover, safety-conscious shoppers can outfit the Premier trim with advanced technologies like lane-departure intervention and forward collision alert. Small-car drivers increasingly expect big feature content these days, and the 2016 Cruze is certainly poised to deliver.

If you're shopping for a 2016 small sedan, we'd also suggest taking a look at the redesigned 2016 Honda Civic , which broadly matches the Chevy's equipment while delivering better performance with its optional turbo engine. The 2016 Kia Forte is perhaps best known for being a good value, but it also drives well and gives you plenty of standard and available niceties. The 2016 Mazda 3 has the sportiest handling of the bunch and also impresses with its fuel economy, while the 2016 Ford Focus is an oldie but goodie that's rewarding to drive and benefits from many recent refinements. But if you're looking for a well-rounded small sedan with few, if any weaknesses, the totally transformed 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is a must-drive.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze models

The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is a small sedan offered in four trim levels: L, LS, LT and Premier.

Standard equipment on the Cruze L includes 15-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, a height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, 60/40-split folding rear seatbacks, Bluetooth, a four-speaker audio system with a USB port, OnStar (with 4G LTE connectivity and WiFi hotspot), a rearview camera and the MyLink infotainment system with a 7-inch central touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The LS is similarly equipped but adds a front center armrest and carpeted floor mats. It can also be equipped with the automatic transmission and a range of dealer-installed options.

Every 2016 Cruze comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

The LT steps up to 16-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights, heated mirrors, cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted phone and audio controls, a rear center armrest with cupholders and a six-speaker audio system with satellite radio.

For the LT, the optional Convenience package adds keyless ignition and entry, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat and remote engine start (automatic transmission).

The Cruze Premier gets those features as standard plus 17-inch wheels, an upgraded rear suspension, ambient interior lighting, illuminated vanity mirrors, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery and a height-adjustable front passenger seat.

Both the LT and Premier offer an RS Appearance package (18-inch wheels, foglights, rear spoiler, sport body kit) and a Sun and Sound package that includes a sunroof, a color driver information center, a larger 8-inch center touchscreen display and a nine-speaker Bose audio system. A navigation system is additionally available for this package on the Premier.

The LT and Premier are also eligible for the Driver Confidence package, which consists of rear parking sensors and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. The Driver Confidence 2 package, offered only on the Premier, adds automatic high beam headlight control, forward collision alert and lane-departure warning and intervention.

The Premier-only Enhanced Convenience package throws in an auto-dimming rearview mirror, automatic climate control, heated rear outboard seats, wireless personal device charging and a 110-volt household-style power outlet.

Performance & mpg

The front-wheel-drive 2016 Chevrolet Cruze utilizes a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the L, LS and LT trims and a six-speed automatic is optional. The Premier comes standard with the automatic. The automatic transmission also comes bundled with an automatic engine stop-start feature to save fuel when the car isn't moving.

According to the EPA, the Cruze should return 33 mpg combined (29 city/41 highway) with the manual, 35 mpg combined (30/42) with the automatic and 34 mpg combined (30/40) in automatic-only Premier trim. These numbers put Chevy right up at the top of the class.

All 2016 Chevrolet Cruze models come with stability control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, full-length side curtain airbags, front knee airbags and front and rear side-impact airbags. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking and stolen-vehicle assistance.

Optional safety equipment is limited to the LT and Premier, consisting of the Driver Confidence 1 and 2 packages detailed above (see Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options section).

Stronger engine output and reduced weight should add up to swifter acceleration for the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze, especially compared to the old 1.8-liter base engine. We've experienced the newly standard 1.4-liter turbo in the redesigned 2016 Malibu, and can report that it's a respectably refined mill with little in the way of extraneous vibrations or noises.

Only one engine is available for the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze, but it should provide a satisfying mix of performance and fuel economy.

Drivers will also appreciate the strong torque that comes on early in the rev range, meaning downshifts likely won't be required on many hills. Check back with us soon for detailed testing results and driving impressions of the 2016 Cruze.

We liked the outgoing Cruze's overall interior look, but the 2016 model's interior is noticeably more stylish. Materials quality is significantly higher, and the curving character line that runs diagonally through the dashboard is an unusually artistic touch for this segment. These updates, along with a larger backseat, make the Cruze's interior fully competitive in terms of both appearance and construction.

A roomier rear seat with added legroom is a key upgrade for the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze.

Another leap forward comes in the form of the standard MyLink infotainment system, which employs either the standard 7-inch touchscreen or the optional 8-inch version (LT and Premier only). That means even the least expensive 2016 Cruze is outfitted with a high-tech interface that boasts clear graphics and a pretty intuitive menu structure. The new Cruze also has the fortune of debuting right after Chevy enhanced the performance of MyLink across the board, so owners will benefit from the noticeably quicker responses relative to earlier iterations. Moreover, the standard inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensures that every Cruze buyer can enjoy a fully integrated smartphone experience.

Chevy says that the Cruze's trunk can hold 14.8 cubic feet of cargo (13.9 in Cruze LT and Premier trims), which is a bit roomier than average for this class.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Cruise Control Issue

• Add to quote

with cruise control engaged and starting on a decline the engine will oscillate about 100 rpm in a jerky motion when going downhill. I noticed this on my 1,700 mile drive to Oklahoma. I noticed it before but didn't really pay much attention because I didn't use cruise control that much. before I contact my dealer has anyone else had this problem.  

Yeah. They all do it. Much more noticeable in the automatics, but the manuals will blip the gas even going down a hill where the car is maintaining speed just coasting.  

This may be DFCO (Deceleration Fuel Cut-Off). On your way back, switch your car to Metric and monitor the instantenous fuel economy numbers. When they go to 0 L/100KM the car is in DFCO. There is a very slight jerk in my ECO MT when it enters and exits DFCO. Entering DFCO feels like a drop in power forcing you forward in the seat and leaving DFCO feels like a small surge in power. Monitor the jerkiness and see if it correlates to the instant reading changing to and from 0 L/100 KM. Note, the Cruze can enter and exit DFCO about twice a second while the DIC only updates once a second.  

If your describing surging RPM downhill with the cruise control more than one user has experienced this randomly with no known cause. My car has done this only a few times in 70K miles. I assume there has to be some reason for this(ac on or something), but I never could figure out what triggered it. I typically don't use my AC but use my cruise control 99% of the time driving & never experience any weird behavior downhill. The RPM will drop slightly when you start downhill, and about 3-6 seconds after DFCO will engage and RPM drop about 100 more. I should also add with the cruise set and in Drive(not manual mode), if your speed exceeds your set speed by 3mph, the transmission will downshift to 5th to try and slow your roll.  

Thanks for the feedback. Yes surging is a much better word to use to describe it. well mine does it pretty much all the time I certainly noticed it on the way here as my average speed was 69 miles an hour it didn't matter what percent grade the decline was either. I'll ask the dealer anyway it doesn't seem right none of my other cars do this. or have done if I should say. I'm okay if it happens every once in awhile or at least when just starting downhill but not all the time. in fact often I was disengaging cruise control cuz I didn't want to deal with it  

Put your car in M6 while on the highway. This may help alleviate some of the surging you feel by instructing the ECU to be less aggressive compensating for speed changes.  

Will do..... report to follow. In a month..... I am gonna be bored down here anyway so I'll stop by local dealer. Lotta cruze owners here in okc  

Mine does this every day when I go down a hill with cruise control on. I always assumed it was normal because my speed never changes. I have a 2014 2LT with the 1.4. My guess is that it's the engine braking.  

I haven't noticed this in my diesel which has the 6T45 transmission as opposed to the 1.4's 6T40. Maybe the extra engine braking of the diesel prevents this?  

I use cruise control so much that my button is getting worn. I haven't noticed this in the 24k km I have so far. Oops nvm, mine is a diesel. Sorry, didn't notice on the app which section this was in Sent from the sexy electrician  

I have never had a problem with cruise control so I have never tried it in M.  

I noticed the jerkiness prior to replacing my turbo charger in my 2011 Chevy Cruze RS Turbo (71,000 miles). I am now currently experiencing my car cruising in 2,700 RPM at 70-73 MPH on the highway. To me this number seems to be high, but not sure if others are at or near this amount of RPMs.  

Normal.

The levels of specific activity of 137 Cs and the contents of mobile forms (1 M ammonium acetate extraction) of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cr, Pb) and petroleum products were studied in the upper soil horizon of urban landscapes of the city of Elektrostal under conditions of local radioactive and chemical contamination were studied. In the soils within a short radius (0–100 m) around the heavy engineering plant, the specific activity of 137 Cs and the contents of mobile forms of Pb, Cu, and Zn were increased. The lognormal distribution law of 137 Cs was found in the upper (0–10 cm) soil layer; five years after the radiation accident, the specific activity of 137 Cs varied from 6 to 4238 Bq/kg. The coefficients of variation increased with an increase in the degree of soil contamination in the following sequence: Co < Ni < petroleum products < Cr < 137 Cs < Zn < Pb < Cu ranging from 50 to 435%. Statistically significant direct correlation was found between the specific activity of 137 Cs and the contents of mobile forms of Pb, Cu, and Zn in the upper horizon of urban soils, and this fact indicated the spatial conjugacy of local spots of radioactive and polymetallic contamination in the studied area. It was shown that the specific activity of 137 Cs, as well as the content of heavy metals and petroleum products in the upper layer (0–10 cm) of the soils disturbed in the course of decontamination, earthwork and reclamation is reduced.

INTRODUCTION

Contaminants migrate and accumulate in urban ecosystems under the impact of both natural and technogenic factors. The processes of technogenic migration of 137 Cs are most pronounced in radioactively contaminated territories. It was found in urboecological studies that the intensity of sedimentation of aerosol particles containing radionuclides and heavy metals is determined by the types of the surfaces of roofs, walls, roads, lawns, and parks and by their position within the urban wind field [ 12 , 26 ]. Traffic in the cities results in significant transport of dust and associated contaminants and radionuclides [ 15 , 24 ]. During decontamination measures in the areas of Chernobyl radioactive trace, not only the decrease in the level of contamination but also the possibility of secondary radioactive contamination because of the transportation of contaminated soil particles by wind or water, or anthropogenic transfer of transferring of ground were observed [ 5 , 6 ]. Rainstorm runoff and hydrological transport of dissolved and colloidal forms of 137 Cs can result in the accumulation of this radionuclide in meso- and microdepressions, where sedimentation takes place [ 10 , 16 ]. Different spatial distribution patterns of 137 Cs in soils of particular urban landscapes were found in the city of Ozersk near the nuclear fuel cycle works [ 17 ]. Natural character of 137 Cs migration in soils of Moscow forest-parks and a decrease in its specific activity in industrial areas have been revealed [ 10 ]. Determination of the mean level and parameters of spatial variations of 137 Cs in soils is one of primary tasks of radioecological monitoring of cities, including both unpolluted (background) and contaminated territories.

Emissions and discharges from numerous sources of contamination can cause the accumulation of a wide range of toxicants in urban soils: heavy metals (HMs), oil products (OPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other chemical substances. Soil contamination by several groups of toxicants is often observed in urban landscapes [ 20 , 23 ] because of the common contamination source or close pathways of the migration of different contaminants. A comprehensive analysis of contamination of urban soils by radionuclides and heavy metals has been performed in some studies [ 21 , 25 ]. The determination of possible spatial interrelationships between radioactive and chemical contaminations in urban soils is an important problem in urban ecology.

A radiation accident took place in the Elektrostal heavy engineering works (EHEW) in April 2013: a capacious source of 137 Cs entered the smelt furnace, and emission of radioactive aerosols from the aerating duct into the urban environment took place. The activity of molten source was estimated at about 1000–7000 Ci [ 14 ]. The area of contamination in the territory of the plant reached 7500 m 2 . However, radioactive aerosols affected a much larger area around the EHEW, including Krasnaya and Pervomaiskaya streets, and reached Lenin Prospect.

Geochemical evaluation of contamination of the upper soil horizon in the city of Elektrostal was carried out in 1989–1991. This survey indicated the anomalies of concentrations of wolfram, nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and other heavy metals related to accumulation of alloying constituent and impurities of non-ferrous metals in the emissions of steelmaking works [ 19 ].

The aim of our work was to determine the levels of specific activity of 137 Cs, concentrations of mobile forms of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cr, and Pb) and oil products in the upper soil horizons in different urban landscapes of the city of Elektrostal under the conditions of local radioactive and chemical contamination.
