Do not Use Methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be
used in your Kyron. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle performance and damage components of the fuel system.
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.
NOTE
Operation in Foreign Countries
If you are going to drive your Kyron in another country, be
sure to:
• Observe all regulations regarding registration and insurance.
• Check that a suitable fuel is available.
Vehicle Fueling from Drums or Storage Containers
For safety reasons (particularly when using noncommercial
fueling systems) fuel containers, pumps and hoses must
be properly earthed.
Static electricity build up can occur under certain atmospheric
and fuel flow conditions if unearthed hoses, particularly
plastic, are fitted to the fuel dispensing pump.
It is therefore recommended that earthed pumps with integrally earthed hoses be used, and that storage containers
be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling
operations.
4. • Diesel engine equipped vehicle:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder and turn it to
the
“ON” position without depressing the accelerator
pedal. As soon as the glow indicator (
) goes out, turn
the key to the
“START” position to start the engine.
• Gasoline engine equipped vehicle:
Turn the ignition key to “ON” position and check the appropriate warning lights are operating.
5. Release the key when the engine starts. If your vehicle is
equipped with a manual transmission and is engaged
at neutral (N), it is ok to release the clutch pedal when
the engine runs.
6. Warm up the engine properly according to the ambient
temperature.
7. Make sure that there are no persons or obstacles in the
danger area around the vehicle.
8. Release the parking brake.
9. • Automatic transmission equipped vehicle
Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift into the
“D”
position. Make sure that the position indicator of “D”
comes on. Slowly release the brake pedal to begin

Air Bag
1. Never impact the air bag installations by hands or tools.
2. The air bag system serves as a supplement to the
seat belt. Make sure that you and your passengers
always fasten the seat belts properly even if the air
bags are installed in the vehicle.
3. Do not place any objects on the air bag inflation location.
You may be injured by those objects during deployment.
4. The air bag system should be inspected 10 years after installation regardless of its appearance and other
conditions.
5. Repairs to the air bag system should be done only
by a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.
6. Do not diagnose the circuit with a circuit tester. Do not
attempt to modify any air bag components including the
steering wheel, air bag mounting area, and harness.
7. Never install a child restraint in the front seat. The children on the restraint could be seriously injured by the
air bag in a collision.
8. The deployed air bag unit should be removed from
the vehicle and replaced with a new one.
9. When the air bag is deployed, the relevant components will be very hot, so do not touch them until they
have cooled down.
10. A person who is smaller than 140 cm should sit in
the rear.
Power Window
1. When you operate the rear windows from the driver’s
seat while a child sits in the rear, make sure that no
body part of the child is between the window and the
window frame.
2. When carrying children in the rear seat, press the rear
door window lock switch to make the rear door
switches inoperative.
3. Make sure that all passengers have their body parts
such as hands inside the vehicle.
4. When closing the windows, be aware of safety conditions before operation.

• Do not hold a child while riding in a vehicle.
• Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat.
• Do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the vehicle is
moving.
• 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.
• Please note that the three point seat belt is designed for a
person who is taller than 140 cm.
WARNING
Warming Up the Engine
1. It is recommended to drive off after warming up the engine.
Driving immediately after starting the engine may decrease the
engine’s life expectancy. Warm up the engine properly according to the ambient temperature.
2. Excessive engine warming increases the fuel consumption
and air pollution. An optimized warming up time is approx. 2
minutes.
Do not accelerate the engine during the warming up period.
Driving the Automatic Transmission Equipped
Vehicle
1. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift the gear selection
lever into the “D” position. Make sure that the “D” light is on
the instrument cluster.
Drive off the vehicle by releasing the brake pedal slowly.
2. To avoid any possible damage to the automatic transmission,
do not abruptly drive off or accelerate the vehicle after shifting
the gear selection lever into the
“D” position. Especially on a
hill, move the lever to the
“D” position with the brake pedal
depressed and wait for a couple of seconds until the position
indicator of
“D” is on the instrument cluster.
3. Your vehicle may move backward on a steep hill even if the shift
lever is engaged into the
“D” position. Therefore, always de-
press the brake pedal when you need to stop on such a hill.

Vapor Lock
When the brake is excessively applied on a downhill, some
bubbles can be formed in the brake cylinder or in brake lines.
Because of these bubbles, hydraulic braking pressure cannot
be transferred to breaking units of the vehicle despite the fully
depressed brake pedal.
Engine Brake
When driving down a long slope, use the engine brake
effect by downshifting the transmission in steps according to the driving conditions while using the service brake.
An excessive operation of the service brake could result
in a “Fade” or “Vapor Lock” effect.
Stopping and Parking the Vehicle
1. Never leave infants and children unattended in the vehicle with the doors locked. They can move the vehicle
unexpectedly. They can be suffocated in especially hot
weather.
2. When parking the vehicle on a hilly road, apply the parking brake and chock the blocks under the wheels.
Place the gear selector lever to the “P” position (automatic
transmission equipped vehicle).
3. If possible, do not stop and park the vehicle on the steep road.
Extinguisher
Keep it ready for use at any time. Be familiar with how to
use it. For more information, read the label on the surface of the fire extinguisher.
Supplementary Heating Device
- FFH (Fuel Fired Heater)
This supplementary heater is a fuel burning type and improves the heating effect by increasing the engine coolant temperature.
- PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Heater
This supplementary heater is an electrical air heating type
and installed on the heater outlet port. This device improves the heating effect by increasing the temperature of
flowing air into the passenger room.
FFH Operation
The FFH system operates up to more than 2 minutes to
burn the residual fuel inside the system when stopping
the engine during its operation.
Therefore, a certain period of FFH operation after stopping
the engine is not a malfunction.
In an initial operating stage, the fuel pump generates the
operating sound and the FFH heater produces white
smoke. These are normal states to fill the fuel into the
FFH fuel line.

In particular, modifying your vehicle into the LPG vehicle
might bring serious damage to the vehicle's performance and durability. Not only the engine but also the
transmission and wheel alignment are excluded from
the warranty.
If you install a wheel dust cover on the tires to enhance
the beauty of tire parts, the heat caused by friction in braking might bring serious problems in performance, causing Vapor Lock and Fade phenomena.
Do not modify the car’s audio system and install other
additional electronic devices such as wireless communication equipment, rear view camera, LCD TV, and remote starting device.
This vehicle’s electronic system contains electronic circuits and fuses for the installation of standard electric and
electronic devices. If you add new devices or circuits using the several existing devices and circuits at a time, electric and electronic devices can be damaged from overloading and may ignite. In addition, when you do drilling work
in installing devices such as an antenna may expose the
vehicle to rusting.
Do not equip the vehicle with bumper guards sold in the
market.
Installing bumper guard or other guard bars that are being sold in the market may cause problems in parking and
stopping due to the extended length of vehicle, and increase in fuel cost due to additional vehicle weight, and
rusting may occur in the holes for equipping the guards.
And because of the absence of shock absorber in the
bumper guard, even accidents during low-speed driving
will be much serious compared with the damage that unmodified cars might sustain.
Do not modify or replace the vehicle flooring or the seats
at your discretion.
• When replacing the interior flooring of vehicle with laminated paper
To improve the comfort of cushion and to facilitate the
cleaning of the vehicle, some drivers replace the flooring
with laminated paper after removing the seats. However,
this may cause damage to the various electronic system
control units and wiring. This also may hinder the function of the seat rail that enables for the seat to move forward and backward. In this case, the locking system to fix
the location of seats may malfunction, which might lead
to a serious accident if the loose seats tilt forward or backward during an uphill climb or downhill descent.

Do not install products that may decrease the driving
resistance such as sticker, molding, air dam, or windproofing products.
The sticker’s adhesives may damage the coated surface
of the vehicle. If parts of the car are drilled to attach molding and other functional parts, the area near the holes will
rust and other unfamiliar sound may occur while driving.
Especially if the attached parts are not fixed well, it may
damage the vehicle or even cause a fatal accident.
In using audio in the vehicle, do not use illegally copied
CD and DVD, which violates relevant laws. Such discs
can also cause malfunction of the audio head unit and
changer. In addition, such discs may also not play
properly.
When installing the vehicle with unauthorized parts or
modifying it in ways including the cases mentioned
previously, please keep in mind that the changed parts
and related problems with changed auto parts shall not
be covered by warranty.

Driving Impression when ESP is Working
When ESP is applied in a certain situation (the indicator
blinks and a warning buzzer sounds), such as during a sharp
turn, you may feel that ESP controls each wheel and different levels of needed braking force are applied to wheels.
You may hear some noise or feel some vibrations from the
brake pedal or other systems. They are caused by pressure
changes in relevant system. You may also notice the engine
output decreases even when the accelerator pedal is being
depressed.
• If the ESP warning light comes on, the ESP related system is
defective. Make sure to check the vehicle at the nearest
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.
• The ESP system does not operate during reverse driving.
• The ESP system activates when the vehicle is unstable to correct
the vehicle stability. When the ESP warning lamp and the warning
alarm turn on, reduce the speed and pay extra attention to the
road.
• The ESP system is only a supplementary device for the vehicle.
When the vehicle exceeds its physical limits, it cannot be controlled.
Do not rely on the system. Keep driving safely.
• When ESP is applied, you may feel some noise or vibration from
the brake pedal or other relevant systems. They are caused by
pressure changes in the relevant systems.

Operation of HDC
When all operational conditions are met, HDC is applied
and the green HDC indicator blinks. HDC automatically decreases the vehicle speed to 7 km/h in the 2 wheel (2H) or
4 wheel high speed mode (4H) position. HDC automatically
stops at speeds less than 7 km/h or when the slope descends slowly. It is normal to have strong vibrations and
noise from the brake system when HDC is applied.
• HDC is designed for driving on off-road steep grades.
• Unnecessary usage of HDC can cause malfunctions in the brake
system or ESP. Do not use HDC when driving on normal roads.
• If driving on a level road with HDC on and ready for use, HDC
may be applied during sharp cornering or passing over a speed
bump. Therefore, do not activate HDC while driving on normal
roads.
• If the red HDC indicator illuminates, HDC is overheated or
malfunctioning. If the indicator is on even after the system has
cooled down enough, have the nearest authorized dealer or service center check the system.
• It is normal to have strong vibrations and noise from the brake
system when HDC is applied.
• In case of a manual transmission vehicle, the gear shift is in the
forwarding “1” or “Reverse” position. If HDC is attempted in the
“2” position, the engine may turn off.

2H, 4H ⇔ 4L
• When shifting the driving mode to “4L”, this
indicator blinks until the shifting operation is
completed. After completion of the mode
change to 4L, the indicator comes on.
CAUTIONS WHEN USING 4-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE
• There could be mechanical noises and shocks during mode
changes. However, these are normal conditions due to the mode
changing operations.
• Use only the 2H mode on a normal paved surface. Do not drive
your vehicle in the “4H” or “4L” position on paved road surfaces.
Doing so will result in damages to the drive train.
• Driving in a 4 wheel mode on a normal paved surface will cause
unwanted noises, premature wear of tires, or increased fuel
consumption.
• To shift from “4L” into another mode or vice versa, stop the vehicle and depress the brake pedal before any shift.
• If the “4WD CHECK” warning light stays on, have the 4WD system checked by the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong
Authorized Service Center.
• When cornering a curved road in a 4-wheel drive mode (4L or
4H), there could be some mechanical shocks and resistances in
vehicle’s drive train. These are normal conditions due to internal
resistance in the drive train when the 4-wheel drive mode is
properly working. To avoid damages to the drive train, do not
drive your vehicle at an excessively high speed on a sharply
curved road.
• When shifting from “4L” to “4H” in an vehicle equipped with automatic transmission, move the gear selector lever from “N” to
“R” position after pushing the 4WD switch, and then move it to
the “N” position again. This helps to make the mode changes
easily.

the lamp will go out.
Spot Lamp Switch
(Passenger’s)
The front room lamp (passenger’s)
turns on when pressing in this switch.
If you run the wheels with high speed while escaping mud or
puddle, the limited slip differential (LSD) may badly be affected.
Use other devices such as wood block while escaping depending
on the situations.
CAUTION
Limited slip differential (LSD) is integrated in the rear axle and operates when there are slippage differences between the left wheel
and right wheel. So, in any cases, never start the engine if any
wheel is jacked up.
Particularly, if you start the engine while one of rear wheels is
jacked up, the wheel on the ground will run due to operation of the
LSD, due to operation of the LSD, and make the vehicle move
abruptly, so that you can be seriously injured. You can be seriously injured.

• Because of different friction levels from individual wheels,
the vehicle may be distorted when you abruptly accelerate to escape from the spot.
• The Locking Differential becomes activated when the left
and right wheels have different rotation speeds.
Do not start the engine when one of the front wheels is being supported by a jack.
If the drive gear becomes engaged while the engine is
running, the wheel contacting the ground will be rotating. It
can be very dangerous since your vehicle will suddenly
move.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Locking Differential, never let
the wheels rotate when one of the wheels is being supported by
a jack. Otherwise, it can cause injury.
WARNING
• Do not abruptly increase the wheel rotation speed or rotate the
wheels at a high speed for an extended period of time when
one of the wheels is stuck in a puddle.
When the wheels spin for an extended period of time or the
puddle becomes too deep to escape, tow the vehicle. Otherwise,
you will damage the clutch friction plate.

This warning light comes on when
the SSPS system is defective. When
this warning light comes on, the
steering effort becomes heavy.
SSPS WARNING LIGHT
If this light comes on, have the SSPS system checked by Ssangyong
Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.
CAUTION
SSPS?*
In traditional constant power assist steering system, the
steerability gets lighter as vehicle speed rises, and this may
cause dangerous situation.
SSPS, by providing appropriate steerability to driver according to the changes of vehicle speed, gives steering stability.
In other words, the steering wheel gets lighter by adjusting
steerability in stop or low speed and provides steering stability by adjusting steering wheel to become heavier in high
speed.
• The fuel system in the engine may get serious damage if you keep driving while the warning light is on.
Prompt correction should be necessary.
• Using low quality fuel could result in serious damage
to the engine due to the water or impurities in fuel.
Never use low quality fuel.
• Before starting the engine, pump fuel until the priming pump is fully filled after draining the water.
• When the water level inside the water separator in
the fuel filter exceeds a certain level, this warning
light comes on and a buzzer sounds. Also, the driving force of the vehicle decreases. If these conditions
occur, immediately drain the water from fuel filter. If
the above conditions still exist after draining the
water, have the system checked by a Ssangyong
Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.

ABS WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition switch is turned
“ON”, this warning light comes on and
goes out if the system is normal.
• If this light doesn’t come on when the ignition is switched to
“ON” or if this light doesn’t go out, contact your nearest
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center. If
this light illuminates while driving, a malfunction of ABS is indicated.
In this case the brake system performs its regular function but
without the anti-locking capability. Have the system checked by
a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center
as soon as possible if this condition occurs.
• ABS is a device that prevents wheels from locking during braking to allow steering. However, the ABS system does not shorten
the stopping distance.
WARNING
When the engine starts and the vehicle starts to move, ABS performs self diagnosis by transferring hydraulic pressure to the braking units. This may cause some noise and vibrations. This means
ABS is properly functioning.
CAUTION
LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
This warning light indicates that the
fuel will soon be exhausted. The time
it takes to turn on, however, varies according to the vehicle operation or
road conditions. Do not wait until this
light is on to refuel the vehicle. It is recommended that fuel should be added as soon as this light
comes on.
While driving on steep hills or rough roads, this warning light may
come on if the remaining fuel level is low.

driving
• You should stop your vehicle and fully depress the
clutch pedal before you shift into the reverse position.
• If the clutch pedal is frequently half-depressed, the clutch
disk will be easily worn out. Use only as needed.
• Do not put your foot on the clutch pedal if not shifting
gears.
• When shifting from a high gear into a lower gear, ensure that the RPM gauge pointer does not go into the
red zone on the gauge. Especially, when shifting from
the 5th to the 4th gear, moving the gear shift lever to
the left too much may result in shifting into the 2nd
gear. This will cause a sudden increase of the engine speed and may damage the engine and the
transmission.
• When the temperature of the transmission oil is very
low on a cold day, you may have some difficulty for
shifting gears. This is a normal phenomenon.
• When you have difficulty for shifting into the 1st or
reserve gear, put the gear shift lever into the neural
position and release the clutch pedal. Then, depress
the pedal again and shift into the intended gear.
• While your vehicle is moving, do not put your hand
on the shift lever except to shift gears. Otherwise,
the gear may be disengaged from the transmission
and the internal transmission components may be
damaged.
• Do not shift into the second next higher gear from a
lower gear. Also, while the engine is rotating fast, do
not shift into a lower gear.

Parking Brake Operation When Driving
Uphill
When driving on a steep uphill, it is safer to use the
parking brake as follows: Apply the parking brake, follow steps (Vehicle with M/T: steps 1 - 3, and release
the parking brake when the vehicle starts to move.
Caution in using half clutch mode
When using the half clutch mode, there is no need to
abruptly depress the accelerator pedal because the
engine power increases. When the accelerator pedal
is continuously depressed in half clutch mode, the internal components can be worn or damaged. Frequent
use of half clutch mode is not recommended.
Shift Lock Release Button when
Locked in the “P” Position
If you cannot move the selector lever from the
“P” or “N” position, try to move the lever while
pushing down here with a sharp object such
as a ballpoint pen. For your safety, turn off
the engine and depress the brake pedal before the attempt.
Tip Switch in “M” Position
(Manual Gear Shift)
The shiftable gear can be adjusted by moving
this switch to forward and rearward when the
gear selector lever is in “M” position.
To shift into any other positions from the
“P” or “N” position after stopping the
vehicle, you have to depress the brake
pedal with the ignition switch “ON”

• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after
shifting into “D”. Otherwise the transmission will be damaged.
Especially, when you start off after stopping, wait for a while
until the “D” shift indicator comes on for several seconds with
the brake pedal depressed.
• When driving on a down hill, never shift the selector lever to
“N”. If you try to shift the lever to “D” from “N”, a sudden gear
engagement can damage the driving train.
• HDC is designed for driving down a steep hill. When HDC is
applied, do not shift to “N”. Otherwise, HDC will be deactivated.
• Even though you can start the engine with the selector lever in
both “P” or “N”, for your safety, always start the engine with
the selector lever in “P”.
• As a safety function, the gear selector lever cannot be moved
into the “P” or “R” position when the vehicle speed about 8 km/h.
• Never shift into “R” when the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION
• Do not excessively apply the brake pedal while going down a
long hill. The brake system will overheat, experience vapor lock
or the fade phenomenon, and lose the braking force.
• Be aware that the engine brake does not work when the gear
selector lever is in the “N” position.
• Avoid any abrupt engine braking on slippery roads, or the tires
may slip.
CAUTION
Engine Brake
When the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle
is in motion, the engine speed decreases. This decreased engine speed creates an extra braking force. On
a down hill, engaging a lower gear can generate a slower
engine speed and eventually slow down the vehicle
speed. By using this engine brake, you can decrease your
vehicle speed without excessively using the brake
system. The lower gear, the more braking force.
