BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR

1–2 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR

RUNNING-IN PERIOD

There are no particular brake-in rules for your new Rexton. However, following a few simple precautions for the first few hundred kilometers can add to the good future performance, economy and long life of your Rexton.

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, keep your engine speed (RPM) below the red zone.

• Avoid full-throttle starts.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies. This will allow the breaks to bed in properly.

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

• Refrain from towing a trailer or an other vehicle.

• Avoid harsh operations such as abrupt start, sudden acceleration and prolonged high speed driving. These operations not only have a detrimental effect on the engine but also cause excessive fuel and oil consumption, which could result in the malfunction of the engine components. Especially, avoid full-throttle acceleration in low gear.

BEFORE ENTERING THE CAR

• Ensure that windows, outside rear view mirrors and lights are clean, undamaged and unobstructed.

• Visually note inflation condition of tyres.

• Check that all lights, switches and controls work properly.

• Check the area behind the vehicle if you are about to reverse.

• Check under the vehicle for leaks.

• Check the engine oil level and other fluid/ oil levels in engine compartment.

BEFORE DRIVING OFF

• Be sure you understand your car and its equipment and how to operate it safely.

• Adjust your seating position.

• Adjust inside and outside mirrors.

• Ensure that all occupants of the car have fastened their seat belts.

• Check the operation of the warning lights when the ignition key is turned to “ON” position.

• Check all gauges.

• Release the parking brake and ensure that the brake warning light goes out.

STARTING AND OPERATING

2–2 STARTING AND OPERATING

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 Rexton. 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 Rexton 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.

CAUTION

• Do not use WINTER mode on normal driving condition.

• When started off with WINTER mode, stop the WINTER mode after the vehicle speed is reached at a certain level.

4-speed

Winter Mode

Power Mode

For increased power, improved acceleration or driving up long slopes, press the “P” portion of the mode switch. The transmission will shift into the power driving pattern. The transmission will shift at higher engine revolutions, allowing more powerful acceleration.

NORMAL

Use this mode for your normal driving. This driving mode can be selected when both “W” and “P” portions are not pressed.

KICKDOWN FUNCTION

Kickdown switch is located under the accelerator pedal. Use it for rapid or uphill acceleration. When the accelerator pedal is depressed fully, there will be contacting sound or feeling and kickdown function starts. When the kickdown switch is operated, the POWER light in the meter cluster comes ON.

NOTE

Kickdown? If you need to accelerate rapidly, depress the accelerator pedal completely to the floor to push the kickdown switch on the floor. Then, the kickdown will be operated and the transmission shift to a lower gear automatically.

5-speed automatic transmission

The electronic pedal installed on 5-speed automatic transmission provides kick-down function according to the level of accelerator pedal movement without kick-down switch.

STARTING AND OPERATING 2–13

SAFETY MODE (5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)

When the transmission has electric or mechanical fault, the transmission operates in safety mode to maintain minimum driving cinditions and to prevent the transmission from being damaged. When the transmission is defective, the symptoms that can be occurred are as follows:

• Heavy shock when moving the selector lever

• Decreased driving force while driving at high speed

• Fixed gear position during driving

• Fixed at 3rd gear

• Fixed at a gear other than 3rd gear when the 3rd gear is defective

2–14 STARTING AND OPERATING

If the shifting is not available, reset the safety mode.

• How to reset the safety mode

1. Park the vehicle and place the selector lever to “P” position.

2. Stop the engine and wait for over 10 seconds.

3. Start the engine.

• Symptoms after resetting the safety mode

- If the vehicle is normally operational after resetting, the troubles are corrected.

- The gear may be fixed at 2nd forward gear in “D” position or 2nd reverse gear in “R” position.

CAUTION

• If you find any symptom caused by mechanical or electrical defective in transmission, stop the vehicle immediately and reset the safety mode.

• If abnormal operation of the transmission (fixed at 2nd forward gear in “D” position or 2nd reverse gear in “R” position) is still present, have the transmission checked as soon as possible at the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EMERGENCY SHIFTING PROCEDURE

Your vehicle has a shift lever lock control system. Before you can shift from park (P), the ignition must be ON and you must depress the brake pedal. If you cannot shift out of P with the ignition ON and the brake pedal depressed:

1. Turn ignition off.

2. Push the shift lock release lever by inserting a proper stick. Then, with the brake pedal depressed, move the selector lever to N (neutral).

3. Start engine and shift into the gear you want.

4. Have your vehicle repaired by Ssangyong dealer or authorized service operation as soon as possible.

DRIVING TIPS FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION*

Starting the Car

After starting the engine and before shifting into a drive range, depress the brake pedal since the vehicle will otherwise start to “creep”. Never use accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously. For normal driving conditions the “D” should be selected. If the accelerator pedal is depressed gently and evenly the transmission will shift into the fuel-saving higher gears at an early stage. The drive range needs to be changed manually only in exceptional cases. Select “3”, “2” and “1” only when automatic shifting up is to be avoided or if additional use is to be made of the engine braking effect. Return to “D” as soon as conditions permit.

Engine Braking

In order to utilize the engine braking effect when driving downhill, select drive range “3”, “2” or, if necessary, “1”.

The braking action is most effective in drive range “1”. If drive range “1” is selected at too high a speed, the transmission remains in second gear until the shift point for first gear is reached, e.g. as a result of deceleration.

Stopping the Car

The selector lever can be left in the chosen drive range with the engine running. When stopping on gradients engage the parking brake or depress the brake pedal. Do not increase the engine revolutions to ensure smooth idling while standing if a drive range has been selected.

Before leaving the vehicle, apply parking brake, then place selector lever in position “P” and remove ignition key.

STARTING AND OPERATING 2–15

Maneuvering the Car

To maneuver the car back and forth during attempts to park or in garage entrances utilize the creeping effect. Regulate your speed by lightly releasing the brake pedal. Never press the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously.

NOTE

•

CREEP effect The vehicle will move slowly without acceleration when the engine is running if you select “R”, “D”, “3”, “2”, “1” positions and it is called “CREEP” effect. It is very unique characteristics of automatic transmission system in which weak power is continuously delivered to the transmission in order to rotate the torque converter.

2–18 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTIONS IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION

• Changing from high speed modes (2H, 4H) to low speed mode (4L) during driving is very dangerous, so the self control system controls not to happen (available when the vehicle speed is less than 3km/h).

• When the 4H or 4L mode is selected, the relevant indicator in the instrument panel will come on (4L only for TOD). If the indicator continues to blink or two indicators are come on simultaneously, there might be malfunction in 4-wheel drive system to be inspected.

• If you operate the switch, there could be mechanical noises and shocks in shift, however it is normal conditions occurring in mode changes.

• Select the proper 4-wheel drive mode according to road conditions (slippery, steep hills, roughness, etc.)

• Never use 4-wheel drive operations as engine brake while descending hills.

• 4-Wheel Drive doesn’t mean the perfect protection for any conditions. Please rely on safety driving habits other than system.

ESP OFF SWITCH*

If you press the ESP OFF switch, the ESP function stops and the indicator lamp in instrument panel comes on. Press this switch again to resume the ESP function. At this time, the indicator lamp goes out. If the ESP function operates while driving, the indicator lamp flickers and the alarm sounds.

ESP SYSTEM*

The ESP system is an electronic vehicle stability control system and driving safety supplementary system that helps to avoid dangerous situations by applying brakes on the wheels or the engine torque to compensate vehicle stability when it is extremely unstable under conditions such as sharp cornering. This system also includes brake assist function for the handicapped persons because they depress the brake pedal softly even when hard braking is required. If the system recognizes that it is an emergency case requires hard braking, it delivers high braking pressure to the wheels. The ESP function works when vehicle stability is very unstable. The ESP system does not work under normal driving conditions.

STARTING AND OPERATING 2–19

Stopping ESP Function With ESP OFF Switch*

If the driving wheels are slipping on the snowy or icy road, the engine rpm may not be increased even when you depress the accelerator pedal, and accordingly, you may not start off your vehicle. In this case, stop the ESP function by pressing the ESP OFF switch. When the ESP switch is pressed, the ESP function stops and the vehicle is driven independently from the sensor outputs.

Driving impression when ESP is working

The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to the driver due to the pressure changes caused by the motor and valve operations in a very short period of time. Extreme cornering will trigger the ESP operation and this will make the driver feel noise and vibration due to strong braking operation. Also, the ESP system controls the engine output. So, the driver may notice the engine output decrease even when the accelerator pedal is being depressed.

ESP & ABS*

The ESP system is activated unless you press the ESP OFF switch. However, the ABS system operates only when the tyres are slipping on the road surface due to sudden braking. Basically, the ESP system is advanced vehicle control system that integrates the ABS system and vehicle stability control system.

CAUTION

•

The ESP system deactivates when stopping the engine. It will be resumed when the engine is started again.

•

If the vehicle is controlled by ESP during driving, the ESP OFF switch will not work.

•

The ESP system does not operate during reverse driving.

•

If the ESP function operates while driving, the indicator lamp flickers and the alarm sounds.

2–20 STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING

•

If the ESP warning light comes on, the ESP related system is defective. At this moment, the ABS works in a basic way. However, make sure to check the vehicle at the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.

•

If the ESP warning light and the ABS warning light come on simultaneously, both ESP and ABS system are not working. Do not over speed your vehicle and be sure to check or repair the vehicle at the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.

•

If the ESP warning light flickers and the alarm sounds, it means that the vehicle stability is controlled by the ESP function when vehicle stability is extremely unstable. In this situation, drive the vehicle with maximum safety.

WARNING

•

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. Keen on the safe driving.

BRAKE

• If one brake circuit should fail, the vehicle can still be stopped with the second remaining circuit. If this happens, the brake pedal must be fully depressed with greater pedal pressure. The braking distance is increased. Have the braking system checked and repaired by a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation before continuing your journey.

• After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.

• Do not coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This may be extremely hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down.

• If a tyre goes flat while driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.

WARNING

Brakes can have temporary loss of performance due to overheating.

• On descents shift to a low gear.

• Do not continually apply brakes.

WARNING

Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This could result in the brakes overheating and losing their effectiveness, wear out the brake pads.

WARNING

Brakes can have temporary loss of performance due to wet brake components.

• After checking the rear for other vehicles, lightly apply brakes for performance loss.

• Keep safe forward speed.

• Keep plenty of space ahead, to the rear and to the sides.

• Lightly apply brakes until performance is normal.

• Always apply this procedure after driving through water deep enough to wet brake components or having the vehicle washed, to help reduce the risk of personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING 2–21

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM* (ABS)

Anti-lock brake system is an advanced electronic braking system that will help prevent a braking skid. The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels from locking up during sudden braking or braking on a slippery road to help the vehicle remain steerable and stable. This system becomes operative only when it senses differences in rotational speed of the wheels, and that they are about to lock up. The system detects the wheel speed and electronically controls the pressure applied to the brake. When the ignition is switched on, the ABS warning light comes on. It goes out after about 2 seconds. If it does not go out, or if it comes on during driving, there is a defect in the ABS. In this case the brake system performs its regular function but without the anti-locking capability. In the event of a defect in ABS, the traction control system (TCS) is shut off as well. Have the ABS checked by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation as soon as possible.

2–22 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION

Driving too fast, particularly in corners, aquaplaning and driving too close to the vehicle in front increases the risk of an accident. This risk can not be reduced by the ABS system.

Braking with ABS

Don’t pump the brakes. Press the brake pedal hard down regardless of the road surface (dry, wet, slippery, etc.), hold it down and let ABS work for you. The ABS modulates the braking pressure to the respective wheels to maintain the maximum braking effect on the vehicle, reducing the loss of directional stability or steering control. Slight vibration accompanied by noise usually occurs while ABS is operating. Such vibration and noise simply indicates that the ABS is functioning normally. In an emergency, apply full force on the brake and clutch pedal simultaneously. The anti-lock brake system will be activated immediately, thus allowing you to retain full steering control of your vehicle. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this braking technique. However, avoid taking unnecessary risks.

WARNING

Stopping distances can vary greatly depending on the road surface and conditions.

• Maintain safe distance to the vehicle in front.

• Drive slowly on wet or slippery road.

WARNING

ABS cannot prevent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques.

• Drive carefully.

• Slow down when cornering.

• Press brake pedal hard and hold.

WARNING

Brake system and ABS warning light illuminating at the same time indicates a failure in the base brake system due to malfunction of ABS.

• Stop the vehicle and consult your Ssangyong Dealer.

• Have the system checked and repaired before continuing your journey.

PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake acts on the rear wheels. It engages automatically when applied. The parking brake lever is located between the front seats.

To apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and pull the lever up fully. To release, depress the brake pedal, pull the lever up slightly and push the button in the tip of the lever. Then lower the lever while holding the button in. Ensure the parking brake is fully released before driving off. See your Ssangyong Dealer if adjustment of the parking brake is required.

STARTING AND OPERATING 2–27

SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE ECONOMICAL OPERATION

Your car’s fuel economy is mainly dependent on your style of driving. How you drive, where you drive, and when you drive has an effect on how many kilometers you can get from a liter of fuel. To obtain maximum fuel economy from your car:

• Start gradually and accelerate gently.

• Avoid excessive and unnecessary idling.

• Keep your engine properly tuned.

• Do not race the engine.

• Use the air conditioning only when necessary.

• Slow down when driving on rough roads.

• Always keep your tyres inflated to the recommended pressure for longer tyre life and optimum fuel economy.

• Keep your distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden stops. This will reduce wear on brake linings and improve economy as extra fuel is required to accelerate back up to driving speed.

• Do not carry unnecessary weight in the vehicle.

• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This can cause needless wear, possible damage to the brakes and poor fuel economy.

• Always ensure your vehicle is maintained to the manufacturer’s specification.

ENGINE EXHAUST GAS CAUTION (CARBON MONOXIDE)

• Avoid inhaling engine exhaust gases. Engine exhaust gases contains carbon monoxide, which has no color or odor. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas.

• It can cause unconsciousness and can be lethal if inhaled.

• If at any time you suspect that exhaust gases are entering the vehicle, have the vehicle inspected and repaired immediately by a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation. If it is necessary to drive under such conditions, do so only with all windows fully open.

• To protect against exhaust gases entering the vehicle, the exhaust system and body should be inspected:

- each time the vehicle is raised for an

oil change.

- whenever a change is noticed in the

sound of the exhaust system.

- whenever the exhaust system, under

body or rear of the vehicle is damaged or becomes corroded.

2–28 STARTING AND OPERATING

• Do not operate the engine in confined areas such as garages or other closed areas any more than needed to move the vehicle in or out of the area.

• When the vehicle is stopped in an unconfined area for more than a short time with the engine running, place the air intake lever to the fresh air mode to draw the outside air into the vehicle and set the fan switch to high speed.

• Never sit (or leave the children) in a parked or stopped vehicle for any extended period of time with the engine running.

• Avoid driving with tailgate open, as exhaust gases could enter the vehicle. If you must drive with the tailgate open, close all windows, place the air intake lever to the fresh air mode to draw the outside air into the vehicle, and set the fan switch to high speed.

HAZARDOUS DRIVING

When hazardous driving is encountered because of water, snow, ice, mud, sand or similar hazard, follow these suggestions.

• Drive cautiously and allow extra distance for braking.

• Avoid sudden movements in braking or steering.

• When braking depress the brake pedal with a light up-and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped.

• If stalled in snow, mud or sand, use 2nd gear for manual transmission or “WINTER” mode for automatic transmission and accelerate slowly. Accelerate slowly to avoid spinning.

• Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or other nonslip material under the rear wheels to provide traction when stalled in ice snow or mud.

3–16 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

WARNING

If the brake system warning light and ABS warning light illuminate at the same time while driving, it may indicate a failure in the base brake system due to the malfunction of ABS.

• Stop the vehicle and consult your Ssangyong Dealer.

• Have the system checked and repaired immediately before continuing your journey.

CAUTION

Even though your vehicle is equipped with ABS, your vehicle may need normal braking distances like conventional brake vehicles or could be longer according to road conditions, so keep the safety distance. ABS is auxiliary system for safety. Do not over rely on the system and keep on safety driving.

NOTE

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)? When you brake abruptly or on the slippery road, the vehicle keeps going on ahead but the wheels are locking not to rotate. At this time, your vehicle will not be steered or rotate and could be resulted in accident. ABS controls the wheels properly not to be locked and allows steering to increase the vehicle’s stability.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT*

When the ignition is switched on, this warning light illuminates and then should go out, to confirm that the air bag is operational. If it does not come on, or if it does not go out, or if it flashes or illuminates continuously while driving, it means that there is malfunction in the system. The air bag system would therefore not be triggered in the event of an accident. Have the air bag system checked without delay by a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.

BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT

This warning light comes on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition on and goes out when the parking brake is released. (But, if the parking brake is applied, this warning light still remains on until the parking brake released.)

CAUTION

• The speed that has been set may not be maintained on uphill or downhill slopes.

• The speed may drop to less than the set speed on a steep uphill grade. The accelerator must be used if you want to maintain that speed.

• The speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill grade. When the speed increases too much, turn off the cruise control.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well cruise control works on hills depends on the speed, load, and the steepness of the hill.

When going up steep hills, you may have to press the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down.

Applying the brake takes you out of cruise control.
