2-85. Actions to ensure vehicle working condition and safe driving.
(1) To make sure of driving safety, execute the following inspections before driving.
a. Inspect fuel level, and add fuel when necessary.
b. Inspect illuminating lights, turning signal lights, braking signal lights to see if they work.
c.Check the position of rearview mirrors.
d.Check if breaking system functions well.
e.Check if glass of all the lights, windshield is clean.
(2) Regular inspection Perform the following regular inspections to ensure the vehicle work condition and
driving safety.
a. Check engine oil level. Park the vehicle on flat road; check the oil level with engine oil level indicator
at least 10 minutes after the engine is stopped. The oil level should be between the two marks. If it is
lower than "L" mark, add some oil; if it is higher than "F" mark, there is excessive oil, so release it.
Or investigate the cause of high oil level.
The volume between the lowest oil level ("L") and highest oil level ("F") is 1.4L.
b. Check engine coolant level. Check the level when the engine is cool. The coolant level should be between
LOW and FULL. If it is lower than "LOW", add coolant. If the coolant is much lower than Min (every
coolant fill is more than 1L) or the vehicle requires frequent fills,investigate if there is any problem with
the cooling system.
To keep the function of coolant, replace coolant every two years at the beginning of cold winter.
c. Check brake and clutch fluid level (sharing a reservoir). Brake fluid level should between the Max and
Min marks. And it is better to keep it close to the Max mark. Add fluid in time when there is not enough
fluid.
d. Check power steering fluid tank. The level should be between Max and Min marks. Refill when there
is not enough steering fluid to avoid pump stuck. It is strictly prohibited to run the vehicle without
steering fluid in any circumstances.
e. Check the charging status of battery and if the connection of battery wires is good.
f. Check tire status and pressure
g. Check the status of wipers.
(3) Observe warning lights and indicators on instrument panel.
a. There are various warning lights and indicators on the instrument panel of MK-1 sedans to indicate and
warn abnormal operations of engine, braking, and charging systems.
b. Pay attention to these lights when driving.When the warning lights or indicators are on,stop the vehicle,
check the vehicle and resolve the causes to make sure the vehicle works well or drives safely.
6. Correct ways to use new cars
Reliability and stability of components in new cars and recently repaired cars still need to be confirmed, and
relative parts are not broken-in, so they must be used carefully to ensure driving safety, to avoid abnormal damage,
and to extend the useful life of the car.
(1) Before driving inspection The following inspections must be performed on the new car to ensure car safety
and reliable operation:
a. Check if instrument panel, warning lights, and indicator, front and rear wiper and washer, and switches
work.
b. Check if the fastening of driveline, steering, suspension, wheels and other connection parts is good.Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Usage of MK Series

Chapter 3 Fuel SystemSection 1 Check Fuel System PressureOn-board inspection
1. Check the operation of the fuel pump.
(1) Connect the positive and the negative of the battery to
appropriate connector sockets of the fuel pump (see Figure 3-1).
Attention: Do not start the engine.
If there is pressure present, you will hear that the fuel is flowing.
If there is no pressure present, check the fusible cutout, fuse, EFI
open-circuit relay, fuel pump, ECM (Electronic Control Module) and
circuit joint.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "OFF".
2. Check the pressure of the fuel.
(1) Check whether the battery voltage is more than 12V.
(2) Disconnect the negative wiring cable from the battery.
(3) Mount a pressure gauge on the fuel input pipe
(see Figure 3-2).
(4) Connect the negative terminal of the battery.
(5) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel oil pressure: 265-304kPa
If the pressure is low, check the fuel pipe and connection,
fuel pump, and fuel filter. If the pressure is too high,
replace the regulator.
(6) Start the engine. Measure the fuel pressure at idle speed. The
fuel pressure is 265-304KPa. If the pressure is unsatisfactory, checkFigure 3-1
Figure 3-3 Figure 3-2Fuel SystemCheck Fuel System Pressure3-15the fuel pump, pressure regulator, and injector, and replace if necessary.
(7) After shutting down the engine, check the fuel pressure and
keep the specified pressure for about 5 minutes. The fuel pressure is:
147KPa.
3. The fuel oil pressure regulator (DR) (see Figure 3-3).
Mounting position: On the distributing pipe for fuel.
Faults: Too low or too high fuel pressure, or hard to start.
General causes: Using poor fuel for a long time results in: 1.
strainer blocked; 2. serious leakage caused by particles and impurities.
Other reasons: Man-made mechanical damage, etc.
Maintenance precautions: During maintenance: 1. Never impact the diaphragm element with high pressure
gas; 2. Never clean it with aggressively corrosive liquid; 3. No distortion caused by external force.
Easy measuring method: For the system with oil return, connect a pressure gauge for the fuel on the suction
pipe, start the engine, and run at idle speed. Now, the fuel pressure in the engine should be about 260KPa; pull out
the vacuum pipe of the fuel pressure regulator, and the pressure should be 300KPa approximately.Battery

Section 2 Fuel Pump Inspection1. Fuel pump (1) Check whether the resistance of the fuel pump is 0.2~3.0 ohm¸ at 20°C. If not, replace the fuel pump (see Figure3-4).
(2) Fuel oil pump running:
Switch on the fuel pump with a battery and check. If the operation is unsatisfactory, replace the fuel pump or
wires (see Figure 3-5).
The test should be done within 10s to protect the coil from burning out.
2. Fuel injector assembly
Oil injecting quantity: 40~50cm3/s.
Tolerance of each injector: not more than 10 cm3.
If the fuel injecting quantity is not up to the specification, replace the injector.
Check leakage: Under above conditions, disconnect the wire from the battery, the fuel should not drip one per
minute.Figure 3-4 Figure 3-5BatteryOhm
