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.

Precautions for Children or Elderly Car Passengers

z

Do not leave infants, children or old people alone in the vehicle. An accident can take place if they misuse some devices in the vehicle. In addition, the temperature inside the car can rise when doors or windows are closed during summer, placing passengers at risk for suffocation.

z

Do not let children, infants, old people, or a pregnant woman sit in the front passenger seat with the airbag. The degree of shock of the airbag’s expansion can be fatal or inflict serious injuries to such passengers.

z

Keep devices such as the ignition key out of children’s reach to avoid damaging the vehicle or prevent accidents.

Do Not Stick Any Part of Your Body Out of the Window

Do not stick any part of your body out of the window and sunroof while the car is running or while you are maneuvering to park. You might be hurt by the passing vehicles or other unseen obstacles.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (V)

When Sleeping in Your Vehicle

z

Do not sleep in a parked car with closed windows. In particular, if you stay or sleep in the car with the engine running and the air-conditioner or heater turned on, you can suffocate to death.

z

Sleeping in a closed space with the engine running puts you at high risk of suffocation from the exhausts.

z

While sleeping, you may accidentally touch the gear shift lever or accelerator and thereby cause an accident.

z

While sleeping in the car with the engine running, you may accidentally step on the accelerator, thereby overheating the engine and exhaust pipe and causing a fire.

No Alchohol and Drugs! Take A Rest!

z

Avoid driving for an extended period of time. Driving continuously without rest makes you prone to dozing off and thus causes an accident. For your safety, take a rest every 2 hours.

z

Driving under the influence of alchohol or drugs is prohibited. It impairs judgment, making driving highly risky. Drunk driving is also a legal offense.

Do not drive with Trunk or Doors Open

z

Do not drive with the trunk open. Otherwise, you can be suffocated by the exhaust gas.

z

If you drive your vehicle with the trunk open, loose objects inside the vehicle may cause an accident.

z

Driving the vehicle with the doors open puts the passenger at risk of being thrown out, which can cause serious injury.

z

Always drive the vehicle with the doors and trunk closed. Doors can be accidentally opened and doors are opened by children touching knobs. Those may cause a serious accident.

Check for any Passing Vehicle when Getting Off

When getting off, check the rear and side of the car for passing vehicles or pedestrians. Vehicles or motorcycles coming from the rear, if unchecked, might stumble on you when you open the door.

Use Only Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop

Have your vehicle checked or repaired at the Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop. Repairing your vehicle by other service stations will not be covered under the terms of our warranty. And the warranty is also not liable for the problems caused by such repair.

VEHICLE CARE

RUNNING-IN PERIOD

There are no particular running-in rules for your new vehicle. However, following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km can add to good future performance, fuel economy and long life of your vehicle.

z

Allow the engine to warm up after starting.

z

Avoid harsh operations such as abrupt fast starts, sudden acceleration and prolonged high speed driving.

z

Do not race the engine.

z

Drive at proper speeds, trying not to “strain” the engine.

z

Avoid overload when climbing.

Bumper Washing

1. Remove the dirt or dust first with water and a sponge.

2. If the bumper is contaminated by engine oil or any lubricants, wipe it off using mild soapy water.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive wax and strong cleaning materials such as steel wool which will scratch the vehicle body and bumper.

Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield

If your windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax or another material may be on the blade or windshield, clean the outside of the windshield with cleaning powder or an equivalent non abrasive cleaner. Your windshield is clean if beads do not form when rinsing with water.

CAUTION

Do not clean the windshield with oily or waxy cloth. It may cause noise or vibration while operating the wipers, poor front view, and light reflection at night time. In addition, the windshield may not be wiped off completely when it rains.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cleaning Aluminum Wheels, Alloy Wheels, and Wheel Covers

Preserve the original appearance of wheels or wheel covers by keeping them clean and free from build-up of road dirt and/ or road salt. Wash the parts regularly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning brushes, as they could damage the finish.

All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. To remove heavy soil, select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush or metal polishes. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheels’ protective finish.

Clean the wheels after driving on a coastal road or on a road where the snow removal chemicals (calcium chloride etc.) has been spreaded.

CAUTION

Never clean the aluminum wheel or alloy wheel with acidic or alkalic detergents. Otherwise, wheel’s protective finish could be damaged.

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.

CAUTION

z

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.

Fade?

Reduction or loss in braking force due to loss of friction between brake pads and disc.

Vapor Lock?

When the brake system is overheated, the fluid in the brake lines will boil and form bubbles. Only the bubbles will be compressed when the brake pedal is depressed. So the brakes cannot work properly due to loss of braking force.

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 experiments and tests. These parts are deeply and systematically interwoven. Therefore, if any part is modified or altered 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 engine 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 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION & ALTERATION (II)

Do not use the nonstandard tires, wheels, and other related parts.

Installing nonstandard tires such as tires with greater width than prescribed can wear out the power delivery system or friction-damage related parts. In addition, other problems such as increase of fuel consumption and braking 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 original 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 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.
