DO-IT-YOURSELF OPERATION
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WHEN PERFORMING DO-IT-YOURSELF OPERATION
When performing any inspection or maintenance work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious accidental injury
to yourself or damage to the vehicle.
• Be careful not to touch any hot components such as the engine, radiator,
exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, or muffler when the engine is
just stopped. They may burn you badly. Let the engine cool down
before any service.
• When working with the battery or fuel related components, always stop
the engine and do not smoke. Also, remove all flames or sparks near
the vehicle.
• Do not connect and disconnect the battery terminals when the ignition
key is in the “ON” position.
• The polarity of the battery, i.e. the connections for the positive and
negative cables, must not be interchanged.
• The battery cables and wires transfer high voltage and current. Avoid
any short circuit.
• Make sure that the ignition key is “OFF” when performing any work in
an enclosed space such as a garage.
• Keep the used oil and coolant out of reach of children. (For a proper
disposal of them, contact a professional service.)
• When checking your vehicle, you must turn off the engine first. Then,
put the shift lever into the "P" (automatic transmission) or "Neutral"
(manual transmission) position and apply the parking brake.
• The electrical cooling fan can start to operate unexpectedly even when
the engine is stopped. Disconnect the negative battery cable before
you check the radiator, cooling fan or nearby parts.
WARNING
• Check the level of the engine oil and every fluid including coolant
daily. If you drive while the fluid levels are low, your vehicle can be
damaged and such damages will not be covered by warranty.
• Use only the genuine Ssangyong oils and fluids.
• Do not allow oils and coolant to make contact with skin or painted
surfaces during inspection or refill of them. They can also damage
paint finish. If skin contact happens, rinse affected areas immediately
with plenty of water and then consult a doctor.
• Do not overfill the oil or coolant, otherwise, the engine and transmis-
sion may be damaged. Maintain the specified level.
• The performance of oils and coolant may be deteriorated when they
are exposed to dust and moisture. Be careful not to allow contact with
dust while refilling.
• In spite of very limited driving of your vehicle, oils and other fluids
can disappear over the time. Therefore, check their levels frequently.
• Improperly disposed engine oil and/or other fluids can pollute the
environment. Dispose used fluids in accordance with local environmental
regulations.
CAUTION
• Fuel damages paintwork. If fuel spills onto paintwork, immediately wash
the affected area with cold water.
• Poor grade fuel or inappropriate additives can ruin the engine and the
exhaust system. Use the designated fuel only.
• Warranty does not cover problems caused by using unqualified fuel.
- For diesel engine: Low sulfur diesel
Using fuel with over 0.5% of sulfur could increase the amount of ex-
haust gas and obstruct oil flow on the inner cylinder wall.
