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.

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.
