SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is recommended that
the seat belts be worn by all occupants
whilst the vehicle is in use. Seat belts should
be worn correctly.
Rear passengers not wearing seat belts are
a danger to the driver and front passenger
in the event of an accident.
The seat belts are designed to be used by
only one person at a time: they are not
suitable for use by children below 6 years
of age. Suitable child seats/booster
cushions should be fitted.
WARNING
It is recommended that pregnant
women should wear a lap-shoulder
belt properly if at all possible. This will
reduce the likelihood of injury to both
the woman and the unborn child. The
lap belts should be worn as low as
possible throughout the pregnancy.
NOTE
If the belt locks when being pulled out,
rewind it completely in the retractor,
then pull it out to the desired length.
WARNING
ï To help reduce the risk of personal
injury in collisions or sudden
maneuvers, use the safety belts
following these instructions on their
proper use, maintenance, and use
with child restraint systems.
ï Children small enough for child
restraints (as indicated on the label
of such restraints) should always be
transported in them. Accident
statistics indicate children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
Accordingly, a child restraint
system should be placed in the rear
seat.
ï Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems should sit in the
rear seat and be restrained with the
seat belt. If child's seating position
has a shoulder belt which is on or
very close to the face or neck,
move the child close to the center
of the vehicle, slightly inboard of the
shoulder belt, or move the child to
a position without a shoulder belt if
possible.
WARNING
ï Make sure that each seat belt
buckle is inserted into the proper
buckle catch. It is possible to cross
the buckle in the rear seat.
ï Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
ï Never wear the shoulder belt under
your arm nearest door. Make sure
that the shoulder portion of seat belt
is positioned midway over the
shoulderñnever across the neck.
ï Be sure the lap belt is fitted snugly
around the hips, not the waist.
ï Never use a belt for more than one
person at a time.
ï Never allow a child stand up or
kneel on the seat.
ï Never allow a child to be held in
somebody's arms while the vehicle
is moving.
ï Never let the belt system become
damaged by a door or seat.
1ñ11
THREE POINT SEAT BELT
WARNING
ï Never wear the belts with straps
twisted or with a buckle release
button facing downward or inward.
ï Do not put anything into the opening
where the safety belt passes
through the trim panel. This may
jam the retractor or damage the
belt.
ï The seat belt will provide
maximum protection for its wearer
if the recliner seat back is placed
in fully upright position. When the
seat back is reclined, there is
greater risk that the passenger will
slide under the belt, especially in
a forward impact accident, and
may be injured by the belt or by
striking the instrument panel or
seat backs.
ï No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
WARNING
ï Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
ï Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
ï Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after
it has been worn in a severe
impact, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
Each Daewoo vehicle is equipped with three
point seat belts with automatic retractors,
allowing freedom of body movement when
driving at even, constant speeds, although
the spring-tensioned belts are always a
snug fit.
This type of belt requires no length
adjustment. Once worn, the belt adjusts
itself to the movement of wearer, but in the
event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt
automatically locks to restrain the wearer's
body.
1ñ12
SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTOR
*
USING THE BELT
On seat belts with a height-adjustable upper
anchorage point: pull belt out, depress the
area indicated by an arrow and adjust the
height.
This is particularly important if a smaller
person has previously selected a lower
position.
Too high a position can impair comfort.
press
CAUTION
Always be sure that the belt is
positioned across the shoulder, as
close to your neck as possible and not
on your upper arm or neck. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and increase
the chance of injury.
Pull the belt evenly out of the retractor and
guide it across the body, making certain that
it is not twisted.

increase the risk of injury.
Be sure that the lap belt is fitted
snugly around the hips, not on the
waist.
SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME
The seat belt warning chime will sound for
about 4 to 8 seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the "II" position unless
the driver's seat belt is securely fastened.
Always keep the seat belts clean and dry.
Clean only with a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since this may
severely weaken them. Make sure that the
belt is not damaged or trapped by sharp
edged objects.
Periodically inspect all parts of the belts and
have damaged parts replaced. A belt which
has been overstretched in an accident must
be replaced by a new one.
Do not perform any alterations to your
vehicle's belt system.
WARNING
All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching harness,
should be inspected after any
collision. We recommend that all seat
belt assemblies in use during a
collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the seat belts
show no damage and continue to
operate properly. Seat belt
assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be inspected and
replaced if damage or improper
operation is noted.
1ñ14
CHILD RESTRAINT
Child restraint installation
Your vehicle has been designed to
accommodate a child restraint on the rear
seat. When using a child restraint, read the
Installation Instructions supplied with the
child restraint and follow the directions for
fitment carefully.
When installing the child restraint, use the
correct anchor bolt. (5/16" bolt)
The anchor bolt must be engaged at least
5 full threads in the anchorage.
If you have any queries regarding the
installation of a child restraint, consult a
Daewoo Dealer.
Anchorage locations
Child restraint anchor fittings have been
installed to coincide with the three rear
seating positions as follows.
Sedan Models:
Anchorages are located at either side and
center of the shelf behind the rear seat.
They are covered with the shelf carpet and
the anchor fitting nuts are welded beneath
the shelf.
Hatchback Models:
Anchorages are located at either side and
center of the lower rear tail member.
WARNING
ï Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small
children should be used. Make sure
that the system you purchase
meets applicable safety standards.
Read and follow all the directions
provided by the manufacturer.
ï A child restraint system should be
placed in the vehicle's rear seat.
ï When the child restraint system is
not in use, remove it or fasten it with
a safety belt so that it will not be
thrown forward in the case of a
sudden stop or accident.
Under all circumstances the anchor
bolt must be engaged at least 5 full
threads in the anchorage.
ï Children could be endangered in a
crash if their child restraints are not
properly secured in the vehicle.
(Continued)
1ñ15
DRIVER'S AIR BAG
*
WARNING
ï Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle.
ï If child restraint anchor bolt is
removed from the shelf, the hole
must be effectively sealed with
another suitable bolt to prevent
exhaust gases entering the vehicle
interior.
The air bag is stored in the center pad of
the steering wheel.
The air bag Supplementary Restraint
System (SRS) helps protect the driver's
head and chest against injuries in the event
of a collision.
30∞
30∞
The air bag system activates during severe
collisions which are either frontal or when
the impact angle is up to 30∞ from straight
ahead.
The air bag inflates within milliseconds
during a crash and forms a safety cushion
for the driver.
After the air bag completely inflates, it
immediately deflates so that it does not
interfere with the driver's visibility or ability
to steer and operate other controls.
The air bag inflates with considerable force
and speed. It is therefore important that the
driver's seat and seat back should be
correctly adjusted, for the air bag to be fully
effective. The driver's seat should be
adjusted so that the steering wheel can be
reached with the arms slightly angled.
When the air bag inflates, an operating
noise may be heard and a small amount of
smoke-like gas will be released. The gas is
harmless and does not indicate that there
is a fire.
1ñ16
WARNING
WARNING
ï The air bag system will not be
triggered in the event of rear
impact, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal collisions. The seat
belts must therefore always be
worn. The air bag system serves to
supplement the seat belt.
ï Never affix anything to or over the
center of the steering wheel, as it
could cause injury when the air bag
is triggered.
ï Do not perform any alterations on
the components of the air bag
system. The system can be
triggered abruptly if it is treated
improperly.
ï The steering wheel and instrument
panel must only be removed by
Daewoo Dealer or Daewoo
Authorized Service Operation.
ï The air bag can be triggered only
once. It must then be replaced by
only a Daewoo Dealer or Daewoo
Authorized Service Operation.
ï Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column and air bag system
must be carried out by only a
Daewoo Dealer or Daewoo
Authorized Service Operation.
Injuries may result if the air bag is
triggered inadvertently.
ï Do not stick anything on the
steering wheel and instrument
panel or cover them with other
materials. Clean them only with a
dry or a damp cloth. Do not use any
aggressive cleaning agents.
ï The air bag system must only be
disposed of by a Daewoo Dealer or
Daewoo Authorized Service
Operation.
ï The air bag system is designed only
as a supplement to the seat belt.
Seat belt must always be worn and
a sufficient distance kept between
the driver and the driving wheel.

STARTING AND OPERATING
2ñ1
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Commercially available high-quality fuels are
suitable. Fuel quality has a decisive
influence on the power output, driveability
and life of the engine. The additives
contained in the fuel play an important role
in this connection. You should therefore
use only highñquality fuels containing
additives.
Fuel with too low an octane number can
cause pre-ignition of detonation. Daewoo
cannot be held liable for resultant damage.
Fuel with a higher octane number may be
used.
The larger nozzle used with leaded fuel at
service stations cannot be inserted into the
fuel tank filler neck on vehicles which must
be operated on unleaded fuel only, to avoid
accidental use of leaded fuel.
Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol)
should not be used in your Daewoo. This
type of fuel can reduce vehicle
performance and damage components of
the fuel system.
CAUTION
The warranty Policy will not cover
damage of the fuel system and any
performance problems that are caused
by the use of methanol or fuel
containing methanol.
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Daewoo in
another country, be sure to:
ï Observe all regulations regarding
registration and insurance.
ï Check that a suitable fuel is available.
2ñ2

or "1" position. Be sure the vehicle is
fully stopped before attempting to shift
the selector lever into "R" or "P".
1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed
and shift into a driving gear.
2. Release the parking brake and foot
brake. Depressing the accelerator pedal
slowly will gradually set the vehicle in
motion.

Selector lever positions P, R and N
P= Park, with the front wheels locked. To
be selected only with the vehicle
stationary and the parking brake on.
R= Reverse. To be engaged only with the
vehicle stationary.
N= Neutral.
Drive range D
D= The drive position for normal driving
conditions in first to fourth gear.
Fourth gear (the overdrive gear) reduces
engine speed, fuel consumption and the
engine noise level.
After the engine has been started and "D"
selected, the economy driving programme
is always operative.
Drive range 3
3= The drive position for driving conditions
in first, second and third gear.
The transmission remains in third gear even
at high speeds. Do not select "3" above the
maximum permissible speed for this range.
Drive range 2
2= The drive position for first and second
gear, e.g. on winding mountain roads: the
transmission does not shift into third and
forth gear.
Drive range 1
1= The drive position for maximum braking
effect, e.g. when driving down severe
gradients; the transmission does not shift
beyond first gear.
CAUTION
To help prevent transmission damage:
ï Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while shifting from "P" or "N"
to "R", "D", "3", "2", or "1". Always
depress the brake pedal until
shifting is completed.
ï Do not drive in "2" for more than
8 km or at speeds over 90 km/h ,
or you can damage your transaxle.
Use "D" as much as possible.
ï Never shift to "P" or "R" while the
vehicle is in motion.
ï When stopping the vehicle on an
uphill gradient, do not hold the
vehicle by depressing the
accelerator pedal. The foot brakes
should be used for this purpose.
WARNING
ï Do not use the P (Park) position in
place of the parking brake.
ï Turn off the ignition when you leave
the vehicle, even momentarily. Never
leave the vehicle unattended while
the engine is running. Unexpected
and possibly sudden vehicle
movement may occur if these
precautions are not taken.

POWER/ECONOMY MODES
DRIVING TIPS FOR 4-SPEEDEMERGENCY OPERATION
SWITCH (4-SPEED AUTO T/M)*
Power mode:
For powerful acceleration or driving up
long slopes, push the power mode switch
on selector lever.
The "PWR" indicator light will come on. The
transmission shifts into the POWER driving
pattern. The transmission will shift at higher
engine revolution obtaining powerful
acceleration when passing or climbing.
power mode

Economy mode:
For normal driving.
This is the most effective and economical
mode for routine, stop-and-go or motorway
driving. The transmission will shift
automatical in this mode.
FOR 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC T/M* AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
If the "POWER" indicator flashes
continuously, a fault has occurred in the
TCM (Transmission Control Module) or
electronic part/sensor.
In this situation automatic shifting can be
cancelled and then gear position will be
automatically landed to 2nd gear in drive
position D, 3 and 2 as follows;

Starting the car
After starting the engine and before
shifting into a drive range, depress the
brake pedal since the vehicle will otherwise
start to "creep". Never use accelerator and
brake pedals simultaneously.
For normal driving conditions the "D"
position should be selected.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed gently
and evenly the transmission will shift into
the fuel-saving higher gears at an early
stage. The drive range needs to be
changed manually only in exceptional
cases. Select "3", "2" and "1" only when
automatic shifting up is to be avoided or if
additional use is to be made of the engine
braking effect.
Return to "D" as soon as conditions permit.

2ñ8
Kickdown
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
beyond its resistance point below certain
speeds, the transmission shifts down into
a lower gear. Full use is made of the engine
power for acceleration.
depress fully
Stopping the car
The selector lever can be left in the chosen
drive range with the engine running.
When stopping on gradients engage the
parking brake or depress the brake pedal.
Do not increase the engine revolutions to
ensure smooth idling while standing if a
drive range has been selected.
Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy
period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level
crossings.
Rocking the car
If it becomes necessary to rock the car to
free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole,
move the selector lever from "D" to "R" in
a repeat pattern while simultaneously
applying light pressure to the accelerator
pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid
sudden acceleration.
This applies only to the exceptional
circumstances mentioned above.
Engine braking
In order to utilize the engine braking effect
when driving downhill, select drive range
"3", "2" or, if necessary, "1" in good time.
The braking action is most effective in drive
range "1". If drive range "1" is selected at
too high a speed, the transmission remains
in second gear until the shift point for first
gear is reached, e.g. as a result of
deceleration.
Before leaving the vehicle, apply parking
brake, then place selector lever in position
"P" and remove ignition key.
Maneuvering the car
To maneuver the car back and forth during
attempts to park or in garage entrances
utilize the above-mentioned creeping effect.
Regulate your speed by lightly releasing the
brake pedal.
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously.
