SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

CAUTION

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.

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.

NOTE

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 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.

1. Never use any duplicated key not provided by

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

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 (Diesel Engine Equipped Vehicle)

If the oil supply for the bearing assembly of the fast rotating turbo charger stops, the stop will cause the turbocharger to seize. Therefore, the following cares are necessary 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 engine 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (I)

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 conditions before operation.

Glass Care

1. Be careful not to damage the rear heated wire and diversity 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 various coating sprays, the automatic rain sensing wipers and lights may not work properly.

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

5 6 7 8 9

• 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (III)

WARNING

• 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.

Cautions While Driving

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

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The power steering function and the brake assist function 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 response from the accelerator pedal may be delayed. This symptom is the safety function to protect the vehicle’s drive system. This symptom can be eliminated 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (V)

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 between the brake pads and disc, caused by heat buildup through repeated or prolonged brake application.

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.

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.

DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE

CAUTIONS FOR DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE (I)

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

Engine is operated by high pressure (1,600 bars), any removal, modification or service of the engine may contaminate the inside 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.

Supplementary Heating Device

- PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient)

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.

The Engine check indicator on the instrument 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.

WARNING

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

When the water level inside of the water drain in the fuel filter exceeds a certain 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.

FUNCTIONS OF IMMOBILIZER

Immobilizer Function

The immobilizer is designed to prevent the possibility of vehicle theft by allowing only authorized keys to start the engine. The same code is encrypted in the transponder inside of the key and in the Engine Control Unit (ECU). When the key is inserted and turned to the “ON” position, the ECU checks the code from the key and allows the engine to start only when the two codes are matched.

CAUTION

• The key and the immobilizer antenna coil should be avoided from any electronic or magnetic equipment which may interfere with the transponder. This may cause malfunctions of the immobilizer function of the key.

SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS OF ROOM LAMPS

The front and center room lamps come on for 30 seconds when the unlock button on the remote control is pressed and hold. The lamps immediately go off when the remote lock button is pressed.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING

If a door is not opened within 30 seconds after unlocking the door with the remote control key, all the doors will be locked automatically.
