2008 GEELY MK air condition

2-13For servicing items whose deadlines have expired, they should be maintained at the same intervals as before. The
intervals are recorded in maintenance schedule.
Rubber hoses
Used in cooling and heating system, braking and fuel-feeding systems should be inspected by qualified Geely
technicians according to Geely maintenance schedule.
There are all very important maintenance items. Hoses must be replaced immediately should there be any aging
or damage. Please pay attention, rubber hoses age as time goes by, and they may have problems of inflation, wear,
or crack.
Special Tips
If the vehicle is driven under one or more of the following circumstances, the maintenance items should be
carried out more frequently. See attached maintenance schedule.
A Road condition
1. drive on rough, muddy or skiddy roads
2. drive on dusty roads.

2-18Section 3 Daily Maintenance of MK SedanDaily maintenance means operation of vehicle regular inspection, cleaning, fastening, and refilling according to
vehicle usage and condition on the basis of regular maintenance to make sure the vehicle is at good status. Daily
maintenance can be performed by driver or professional automotive mechanics in daily use of vehicle. But some
of the items must be conducted by professional mechanics at service shops.
1. Maintenance of air cleaner
Air cleaner filters the air that is coming into engine for the first time. Dust and other dirt filtered out gathers in the
induction tube. Air cleaner filters a lot of dust and dirty, so it must be cleaned in time.
2. Maintenance of air filter
Air filter does not only filter the dust and dirt in the air, but also keeps smooth ventilation. Its status has great effects
on the fuel economy and power of the engine, so it must be checked and maintained in time.
Before it is time to replace air filter, maintain it. Remove the filter, knock it with hand or stick to get rid of dust
on the filter and remove dirt inside the filter cover according to the cleanness of the road that the vehicle usually
runs on.
ATTENTION: do not clean the filter with wet cloth. Fasten the filter well when installing it back.
3. Maintenance of battery
Battery is used to start the vehicle and supply power to electrical facilities. Its status directly affects the regular
usage of the vehicle, especially for vehicles equipped with electrical controlled facilities. Keeping the battery in
good technical status and connections is especially important. It is necessary to often perform the following
inspections and maintenance in regular usage:
(1) Clean the outside of battery Inspect if the battery case or cover surface is dirty or has dirt, oil, or other dirty
things regularly. Clean it and keep the surface dry to avoid electrical leak caused by cover deformation.
(2) Check battery connections Bad connection between battery electrode and cable results in low engine start
speed which makes it difficult to start the vehicle or the vehicle cannot be started because of low output voltage
from battery. Loose connection at battery end leads to damage of electrical components and loss of trouble code
and other information stored in RAM of the computer system as a result of low voltage. Therefore, it is necessary
to check if the connection of cables on the battery electrode is good. When it is found loose, it must be fastened.
If there is any rust, the cables must be loosened, washed clean and be connected again.
4. Maintenance of tires and wheels
(1) Keeping tires and wheels under good condition is very important to vehicle fuel consumption and driving
safety. Therefore, inspect and maintain the tires regularly. Every 10000 km, the wheels should be adjusted. Follow
the sequence in picture 3:
Judge if there is any hidden problems in vehicle chassis mechanism by observing wear in different places, andfinding out the hidden problems does not only help you to understand
the technical status of the vehicle, but also benefits driving safety.
a. Serious wear on both edges of tire tread, means tires often
work with low tire pressure.
b. Wear of middle of the tire tread is mainly because the tires
are used with high tire pressure.This kind of wear shortens
the useful life of tires, and may result in sudden flat tire
when the vehicle runs on uneven road surface or meets any
obstacles.Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Daily Maintenance of MK Sedan

TableEngine AssemblyEngine Inspection3-2 Note:
Check the belt distortion at the specified point (see Figure 1-1).
When mounting a new belt, set the tensioning force to specified value.
After the belt has been operated more than 5 minutes, check and ensure the distortion not exceeding specified
value. (2) Make sure that the coolant level is above the neck of the radiator.
(3) Put the radiator cover in place, pressurize to 2.0Mpa, and keep the pressure for 1minute unless the coolant
leaks. (Mount a tester on the radiator cover, start the engine, and then shut down under a pressure 2.0Mpa).
(4) Check whether the coolant quantity in the dilatation can is between the mark "Low" and "Full".
(5) Check whether the radiator cover is clean; test whether the opening pressure of the main valve is 107.8KPa
with a radiator cover tester. The minimum opening pressure is 58.5KPa.
6. Check the battery.
(1) The terminal voltage of the battery is 12.5-12.9V at 20°C, and charge when the voltage value is less than
the specified value. Check whether the fusible cutout and the fuse are loose, corrosive or on.
7. Check the air filter.
(1) Whether the cover, the case or the element of the filter is distorted, corroded or damaged.
(2) Whether the air hose is damaged.
(3) Whether the air chamber is distorted or damaged.
(4) Whether the air filter element is blocked, polluted or damaged. If the filter element is blocked slightly,
remove the dirt by blowing the element from above.
(5) Whether there is any pollutant or dirt on the air filter support.
8. Check the spark plug.
(1) Spark generation.
a. Disconnect the coupling of the injector.
b. Remove the spark plug from the secondary wire.
c. Remove the spark plug.
d. Connect the spark plug to the secondary wire.
e. Ground the spark plug.
f. Start the engine, and check whether spark is generated.
Prompt: The starting time is not more than 1-2s.
(2) Clean the spark plug: The air pressure is not greater than 588kp and the time is not more than 20s.
(3) Check whether the thread and the insulator of the spark plug are damaged. Replace if necessary.
(4) Check the electrode gap of the spark plug: 0.8±0.1mm for MR479Q and MR479QA; 1±0.05mm for
MR481QA.
9. Check the driving belt.

distortion.
Check the tensioning force and the distortion of the V-belt after the crankshaft of the engine has rotated 2
turns.
10. Check the ignition timing (see Figure 1-2).
(1) Start the engine for warming up.
(2) When using the portable tester:
Connect the portable tester to the fault diagnosis socket
(DLC3).
Ignition timing:
before the top dead center when idling.
Prompt:
Please refer to the operating manual of the portable tester for
detail.
(3) When not using the portable tester:
a.Short the terminals 13(TC) and 4(CG) of the fault diagnosis socket(DLC3) with special service tool(SST).
Attention:

Make sure to connect correctly, or else the engine can be damaged.
Switch off all the electric systems.
Check when the cooling fan motor is disconnected.
b.Check the ignition timing with a timing light.
Ignition timing: 10°±20' before the top dead center when idling.
Note:
(a) Check the ignition timing, and the transmission should be set to the neutral position.
(b) Keep the engine speed at 1,000-1,300r/min for 5s and check when idling.
(c) Remove the special tool on the fault diagnosis socket.
(d) When the engine speed rises, the advance angle of ignition timing will increase.
(e) Remove the timing light.
11. Check the engine idle (see Figure 1-3).
(1) The engine warms up.
(2) When using the portable tester: Connect the portable tester to the fault diagnosis socket (DLC3).
Tip: Please refer to the operating manual of the portable tester for
detail.
(3) When not using the portable tester:
Connect the test pen of the tachometer to the terminal 9(TAC) of
the fault diagnosis socket (DLC3) with special tool (SST). (see
Figure 1-3).
(4) Check the idling speed: 800±50r/min.
Attention:
Check idle when the cooling fan motor is disconnected.
Switch off all the electric accessories and air conditioners.Tachometer
