WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-8

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-9

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.

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.

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.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-10

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.

DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE

CAUTIONS FOR DIRECT INJECTION TYPE DIESEL ENGINE

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-11

Engine Check Indicator

This warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to ON and goes out if the engine is in normal condition.

When this warning light comes on, the engine driving force may be decreased or the engine may stall in some severe cases. These are indication of activating the safety mode to protect engine system. When this happens, have the system checked at the Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.

Water Separation Interval

- at every 10,000 km

- when changing the engine oil

Priming Pump Operating Conditions

1. when completely consumed the fuel

2. after draining the water from the fuel filter

3. after replacing the fuel filter

- Before starting the engine, perform

the pumping operation of priming pump until it becomes rigid to fill up the fuel pump with fuel.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH*

CRUISE CONTROL*

Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that maintains a desired driving speed without using the accelerator pedal.

The vehicle speed must be greater than 36 km/h to engage cruise control. This feature is especially useful for motorway driving.

Setting a Desired Speed

1. To operate the cruise control, accelerate to your desired speed using the acceleration pedal more over 36 km/h.

2. When the desired speed is reached, push up the ACCEL.SET. switch of a cruise control lever or push down the DECEL.SET. switch for 1 second per one switching and then release the acceleration pedal, slowly.

3. Now, the vehicle is cruised by this system with set speed.

4. And you can set to other vehicle speed again with above steps after acceleration pedal intervention during cruise control running.

Improper use of cruise control could be dangerous.

• Do not use on winding roads.

• Do not use in heavy traffic.

• Do not use on slippery, wet roads. This could result in a loss of control, collision, and/or personal injuries.

CAUTION

INTERIOR SWITCHES

Decelerating with Cruise Control System

• While Cruise control system is running

1. Push down the DECEL.SET. Switch of a cruise control lever and hold it until the desired speed is reached without a brake pedal intervention. But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at less than 34 km/h.

2. When the desired speed is reached, release the lever.

• When Cruise control system is not running

1. Push down the DECEL.SET. Switch of a cruise control lever and hold it.

2. And then release the acceleration pedal, slowly.

3. When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at less than 34 km/h.

• Tap down while cruise control system is running

1. Push down the DECEL.SET. Switch of a cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while the cruise control system is running. This is a tap down switching.

2. When you operate a tap-down switching, the vehicle is decelerated for 1 km/h below the previous set speed.

3. If you want to decelerate for 10 km/h, operate the tap-down switching ten times without brake pedal intervention.

Accelerating with Cruise Control System

• While cruise control system is running

1. Push up the ACCEL.SET. switch of a cruise control lever and hold it until the desired speed is reached without an acceleration pedal intervention.

2. When the desired speed is reached, release the lever.

• While cruise control system is not running

1. Accelerate using the acceleration pedal more over 36 km/h.

2. Push up the ACCEL.SET switch of a cruise control lever and hold it.

3. And then release the acceleration pedal, slowly.

4. When the desired speed is reached, release the lever.

• Tap up while cruise control system is running

1. Push up the ACCEL.SET. switch of a cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while the cruise control system is running. This is a tap up switching.

2. When you operate a tap-up switching, the vehicle is accelerated for 1.3 km/h over the previous set speed.

3. If you want to accelerate for 13 km/h, operate the tap-up switching ten times without accelerating with cruise control system.

INTERIOR SWITCHES

Recovery of Set Speed

Even if the cruise control is canceled, the previous set cruise speed can be recovered by pushing toward the RSM (resume) switch of a cruise control lever when the current vehicle speed is higher than 36 km/h without acceleration intervention. But if you turn off the ignition switch, the memorized set speed is cleared and you cannot recover the previous set speed.

Normal Cancellation of Cruise Control

The cruise control system will be canceled when one or more items of the following conditions is applied;

1. When the brake pedal is depressed.

2. When the cruising speed is downed less than 34 km/h.

3. When the off switch is operated by pulling rearward the cruise control lever.

4. When ABD is activated.

And the cruise control system can be operated again in driving state.

Keep the main cruise control switch as neutral position when not using the cruise control.

CAUTION

CAUTION

INTERIOR SWITCHES

4-12

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.

Abnormal Cancellation of Cruise Control

1. When the rapid deceleration is applied without braking.

2. When the rapid acceleration is applied without acceleration pedal intervention.

3. When the cruise control lever is failed.

4. When the brake switch and brake light switch input signal is unplausible.

During the diagnosis, brake pedal vibration and noise may be apparent when the driving motors discharges the hydraulic pressure from the internal hydraulic device. This means the ABS is properly functioning.

CAUTION

• If this light doesn’t come on when the ignition is switched on or if this light doesn’t go out, contact your nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation. If this light illuminates while driving, a malfunction of ABS is indicated. In this case the brake system performs its regular function but without the antilocking capability. Have the system checked by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation as soon as possible if this condition occurs.

• 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.
