SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-3

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

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 high-quality fuels.

Diesel Engine

Use diesel fuel at 50 cetane rating or higher.

Gasoline Engine

Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pre-ignition

(detonation). Ssangyong can not be held liable for resultant

damage.

Do not Use Methanol

Fuels containing methanol (wood alcohol) should not be

used in your vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce vehicle

performance and damage components of the fuel system.

For correct octane rating setting and other use of gasoline (ex.

Leaded), consult your Ssangyong Dealer.

CAUTION

Engine and exhaust system will be damaged.

• Do not use leaded fuel to the vehicle for unleaded fuel.

• Use the fuel with specified or higher Research Octane Number

recommended for your country by Ssangyong.

It is not covered by warranty.

CAUTION

The warranty policy will not cover damage of the fuel sys-

tem 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 vehicle 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 Con-

tainers

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 inte-

grally earthed hoses be used, and that storage containers

be properly earthed during all noncommercial fueling

operations.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (I)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Ignition Key/Remote Control Key

1. Never use any duplicated key not provided by

Ssangyong. It may cause a fire due to an overload in

the electric circuit.

2. If you lose your keys, you have to replace the whole key

set to prevent from theft.

3. Avoid shock to the transmitter in the remote control key

and do not get it wet.

4. Only use the batteries with the same specifications to

replace the discharged battery. Do not reverse the

polarity.

Turbocharger System

If the oil supply for the bearing assembly of the fast rotat-

ing turbo charger stops, the stop will cause the turbo-

charger to seize. Therefore, the following cares are nec-

essary to prevent the seizure.

1. After starting the engine, let it run for approx. 2 minutes

at idle speed (Avoid acceleration or driving off the

vehicle).

2. After changing the engine oil and oil filter, start the en-

gine and let it run for approx. 2 minutes at idle speed

(Avoid acceleration or driving off the vehicle).

3. Do not stop the engine immediately after coming back

from high load driving (such as high speed driving or

driving on long slope). Let the engine run for approx. 2

minutes at idle speed to cool it down.

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 af-

ter 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 Ser-

vice 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 chil-

dren 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 compo-

nents 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (II)

Hazardous Materials

Do not store any flammable items or disposable lighters

in the console box or other spaces. In hot weather, they

can explode and cause a fire.

Genuine Parts

Always use only Ssangyong genuine parts for

replacement. Ssangyong is not liable for any damage

caused by the use of non-Ssangyong genuine parts and

accessories.

Tire

1. Be sure to use the same size and type of tires from the

same manufacturer on all wheels. Otherwise, damage

can be caused to the powertrain.

2. Keep the specified tire inflation pressure.

3. Make sure that the spare tire is ready for use at any

time. After installing the spare tire on a wheel, do not

drive for a long distance. Instead, visit a nearby dealer

or tire shop to replace the spare tire with a regular tire

for driving.

4. Always check the tire surface for damage and uneven

wear before driving and replace it if needed.

5. Using tires of different specifications may cause high

fuel consumption, long stopping distance, vehicle body

vibration, heavy steering operation, and poor ABS

operation.

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 condi-

tions before operation.

Glass Care

1. Be careful not to damage the rear heated wire and di-

versity antenna when cleaning the rear glass.

2. Do not install any sunshield on the windshield glass

and rear glass. It may adversely affect the rear heated

wire and receiving sensitivity of the antenna.

3. The rain and automatic light sensors are installed on

the upper middle front of the windshield (if equipped).

If these sensors are contaminated or covered with vari-

ous coating sprays, the automatic rain sensing wipers

and lights may not work properly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (III)

Child Restraint

When transporting infants or small children, an appropri-

ate child restraint system should always be used. The child

restraint system should be appropriate for your child’s

weight and height and properly fit the car’s seat. Accident

statistics indicate that children are safer when properly re-

strained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.

• Infants and small children should always be restrained in an

infant or child restraint.

• NEVER INSTALL A REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT IN THE

FRONT SEAT WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG.

• A child in a rear-facing child restraint installed in the front seat

can be seriously injured if the front passenger air bag inflates.

Secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat.

• A front-facing child restraint should be secured in the rear

seat whenever possible. If installed in the front passenger

seat, adjust the seat as far back as it will go.

• When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

• When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured

with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

• 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.

WARNING

• 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.

Warming Up the Engine

1. Do not drive without warming up the engine. Driving im-

mediately after starting the engine may decrease the

engine’s life expectancy. Warm up the engine before

moving your vehicle.

2. Do not warm up the engine excessively. Warm up the en-

gine just until the coolant temperature gauge begins to move.

3. Excessive engine warming increases the fuel con-

sumption 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 se-

lection 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 indi-

cator 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 depress the brake pedal when you

need to stop on such a hill.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (V)

Cautions While Driving

1. Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is in motion.

The power steering function and the brake assist func-

tion will be deactivated.

2. Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat, rear view

mirrors, or steering wheel while driving. Adjustments

should be done before driving.

3. While driving, do not depress the brake pedal when the

accelerator pedal is depressed. Otherwise, the re-

sponse from the accelerator pedal may be delayed.

This symptom is the safety function to protect the

vehicle’s drive system. This symptom can be elimi-

nated if you depress and release the accelerator pedal

once when the brake pedal is not depressed.

4. Do not operate the steering wheel abruptly. This will

cause unstable driving situations and can end with an

unexpected accident.

Abrupt Start, Acceleration and Stop

1. Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops. It may cause

high fuel consumption or an accident.

2. Gently accelerate and decelerate the engine.

Fade

Reduction or loss in braking force due to loss of friction be-

tween the brake pads and disc, caused by heat buildup through

repeated or prolonged brake application.

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 accord-

ing 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 ve-

hicle 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 park-

ing 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 sur-

face of the fire extinguisher.

Direct Injection (DI) Type Diesel Engine

Compared to Indirect Injection (IDI) Type Diesel Engine that

uses a mechanical fuel injection system, a Direct Injection (DI)

Type Diesel Engine controls the amount of injected fuel and

the fuel injection timing electronically. This advanced engine

enhances the output power and reduces the noxious exhaust

gas (CO, HC, NOx....). Because the Direct Injection Diesel En-

gine is operated by high pressure (1,600 bars), any removal,

modification or service of the engine may contaminate the in-

side of the system and cause the system to malfunction. In

that case, the malfunction and any related systems are not

under warranty of this company.

Warning for Using Low Quality Fuel

The fuel system in a DI engine equipped vehicle has many

precisely machined components. Using low quality fuel could

result in serious damage to the engine due to the water or

impurities in the fuel.

Never use the low quality fuel.

System Safety Mode

When the vehicle has a system error, the vehicle operates in

safety mode to maintain minimum driving conditions and to

prevent the system from being damaged. In this mode, the

engine driving force may be decreased or the engine may stall.

When this happens, have the system checked at a Ssangyong

Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.

DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE

CAUTIONS FOR DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE (I)

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)

This supplementary heater is an electrical air heat-

ing 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 stop-

ping the engine during its operation.

Therefore, a certain period of FFH operation after stop-

ping 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.

Water Separator Warning Light

1. When completely consumed the

fuel

2. After draining the water from the

fuel filter

3. After replacing the fuel filter

- If this happens, pump fuel until the

priming pump is fully filled. Then,

start the engine.

The Engine check indicator on the in-

strument cluster comes on when the

fuel or major electronic systems of the

engine are not working properly. As a

result, the engine’s power output may

decrease or the engine may stall. If this

happens, please visit the nearest

Ssangyong dealer or authorized service

operator.

When the water level inside of the wa-

ter drain in the fuel filter exceeds a cer-

tain level, this warning light and an

alarming sound are activated. In

addition, the driving force of the vehicle

decreases. If this happens, immediately

drain the water from the fuel filter.

Please refer to Chapter 5 “How to drain

the water from the fuel filter” in this

manual.

Priming Pump

• When engine check warning light comes on, immediately stop driving and have the en-

gine system checked at a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.

• Drain the water from fuel filter & water separator immediately after the water separator

warning light comes on.

• The fuel system in the engine may get seriously damaged if you keep driving while the

warning light is on.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION & ALTERATION

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION & ALTERATION (I)

Do not modify this vehicle.

If unauthorized modification is made on the vehicle, the

company is not liable for repairing the modified parts

even during the term of warranty. Other part problems

caused by modification are also not covered.

The vehicle you bought is equipped with a large number

of precision parts that have passed through countless ex-

periments and tests. These parts are deeply and system-

atically interwoven. Therefore, if any part is modified or al-

tered without authorization, said parts may be damaged

from the decrease in performance or overloading, which

can then cause critical damage to the vehicle and human

life.

Do not modify without authorization the driving gear

system, including the engine, just to upgrade the

vehicle’s performance and beauty.

• Prohibition of using unauthorized modification of the en-

gine or parts for the exhaust

Changing without authorization the preset value in the fuel

supply system and inlet, exhaust and electric systems, and

changing or adding unauthorized parts is illegal and may

cause serious problem with the vehicle’s durability.

In particular, modifying your vehicle into the LPG vehicle

might bring serious damage to the vehicle's perfor-

mance 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 brak-

ing might bring serious problems in performance, caus-

ing Vapor Lock and Fade phenomena.

Do not modify the car’s audio system and install other

additional electronic devices such as wireless commu-

nication equipment, rear view camera, LCD TV, and re-

mote starting device.

This vehicle’s electronic system contains electronic cir-

cuits and fuses for the installation of standard electric and

electronic devices. If you add new devices or circuits us-

ing the several existing devices and circuits at a time, elec-

tric and electronic devices can be damaged from overload-

ing and may ignite. In addition, when you do drilling work

in installing devices such as an antenna may expose the

vehicle to rusting.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-14

Do not use the nonstandard tires, wheels, and other re-

lated parts.

Installing nonstandard tires such as tires with greater

width than prescribed can wear out the power delivery sys-

tem or friction-damage related parts. In addition, other

problems such as increase of fuel consumption and brak-

ing distance, vehicle's shudder, and decrease of steering

power can all degrade the vehicle’s performance. The

speedometer and odometer can also become inaccurate.

The vehicle with automatic transmission may have the

shock in changing the speed.

Do not use duplicate key

A duplicate key might cause malfunction to the ignition key

cylinder and deter the ignition motor to return to the origi-

nal state. If so, electronic circuitry can be damaged and

may ignite from the ignition motor’s continuing rotation.

Do not equip the sunroof or color glasses at your

discretion.

If you install a sunroof by cutting the vehicle’s roof, rust

and leakage may occur in the cut part. Installing color

glasses to block ultraviolet rays and better appearance

may cause leakage and other many problems.

Do not equip the vehicle with bumper guards sold in the

market.

Installing bumper guard or other guard bars that are be-

ing sold in the market may cause problems in parking and

stopping due to the extended length of vehicle, and in-

crease 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 un-

modified 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 lami-

nated 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 func-

tion of the seat rail that enables for the seat to move for-

ward 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 back-

ward during an uphill climb or downhill descent.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION & ALTERATION (III)

• When exchanging the seats with new ones or equip-

ping separate seat covers.

There are several types of seat covers according to role

and function although with the same vehicle type. Replac-

ing the seats with new ones may alter the wiring system

or over-use the wires because a seat has various electric

connections and wiring diagram. As mentioned earlier, this

may damage the wiring and related equipment or cause

fire due to the overloading on the rated capacity.

In addition, replacing the seat cover may damage the elec-

tronic equipment caused by cut or pressured wire. Such

a situation may also cause ventilation problems, fire, or

noise.

Do not equip with a separate accessory or assistant de-

vice on the vehicle operational device.

Making the selection lever longer or equipping with an ac-

celerator pedal and brake pedal pad may make the driver

prone to make a mistake while driving.

Do not install products that may decrease the driving

resistance such as sticker, molding, air dam, or wind-

proofing products.

The sticker’s adhesives may damage the coated surface

of the vehicle. If parts of the car are drilled to attach mold-

ing 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.
