SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Child Restraint

When transporting infants or small children, an appropriate 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.

WARNING

• Infants and small children should always be restrained in a infant or child restraint.

• NEVER INSTALL A REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT IN 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-7

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Starting the Engine

1. Diesel engine equipped vehicle: Turn the ignition key to “ON” position and wait until the preglow indicator goes out. After then, turn the ignition key to “START” position and hold it until the engine starts.

2. Even if the engine does not start, do not hold the ignition key at “START” position for more than 10 seconds.

3. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before trying again.

4. If failed to start the engine, turn the ignition key to “LOCK” position, then turn it to “START” position again.

5. Do not turn the ignition key to “START” position while the engine is running.

6. The engine in automatic transmission equipped vehicle can be started only when the selector lever is at “P” or “N” position. The engine in manual transmission equipped vehicle can be started only when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

7. Do not leave the ignition key at “ON” or “ACC” position when the engine is not running. This could cause battery discharge.

Warming Up the Engine

1. Warm up the engine with idle speed before driving off the vehicle. It can adversely affect the expected life span of the engine.

2. Do not warm up the engine excessively. Warm up the engine just until the coolant temperature gauge begins to move.

3. Excessive engine warming up increases the fuel consumption and air pollution. An optimized warming up time is approx. 2 minutes.

Do not accelerate the engine during warming up period.

Driving Off the Automatic Transmission Equipped Vehicle

1. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift into “-D+” position. Make sure that the shift indicator of “D” and “1” are coming. Drive off the vehicle by releasing the brake pedal slowly.

2. To avoid damage to the automatic transmission, do not drive off and accelerate the vehicle immediately after placing the gear selector lever at “-D+” position. Especially, on a hill, move the gear selector lever to “-D+” position with brake depressed and wait until the position indicators of “D” and “1” are coming before driving off.

3. The vehicle can move down the slope even if the gear selector is at “-D+” position.

1-8

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cautions While Driving

1. Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is in motion. The power steering function and the brake assist function will be deactivated. You can use only mechanical operations of the steering and brake system without assisted pressure. Thus, you need bigger force to steer and stop your vehicle. It may cause an accident.

2. Do not adjust driver’s seat, rear view mirrors, steering wheel while the vehicle is moving.

3. While driving, do not depress the brake pedal when the accelerator pedal is depressed. Otherwise, the response from 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.

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 brake pads and disc. Caused by heat buildup through repeated or prolonged brake application.

Engine Brake

When driving down the 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 “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 the hilly road, apply the parking brake and chock the blocks under the wheels. Place the gear selector lever to “P” position (automatic transmission equipped vehicle).

3. If possible, do not stop and park the vehicle on the steep road.

Vapor Lock

The abnormal condition that occurs when brake fluid contains too much moisture and is overheated, causing the moisture in the fluid to boil. Gas bubbles are formed in the fluid, which causes a spongy brake pedal or a complete loss of hydraulic pressure.

DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE

CAUTIONS FOR DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE

Direct Injection (DI) Type Diesel Engine

Compared to Indirect Injection (IDI) Type Diesel Engine that uses mechanical fuel injection system, 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 DI engine equipped vehicle has many precisely machined components. Using low quality fuel could result in a serious damage to the engine due to the water or impurities in 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 the Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.

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 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 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 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.
