2008 GEELY MK fuel

2-11a. Keep air filter clean, Block of air filter affects engine air induction efficiency and increases fuel
consumption. So it must be cleaned and replaced in time.
b. Keep ignition system under good work condition. Bad connection or electricity leak of ignition coil and
power distributor or inappropriate gap or carbon residue of spark plug decreases ignition power supply
and efficiency, which leads to engine fuel consumption increase. So they need regular inspection and
repair to keep their good work condition.
c. Fuel feeding system works well. Often check if fuel feeder pipe leaks, and check if injectors and other
parts perform well on regular basis (electrical injection engines).
d. Keep regular tire pressure. If the tire pressure is not enough, vehicle rolling resistance increases and
engine fuel consumption increases accordingly. So tire pressure must be checked on time (around once
a week).Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Usage of MK Series

2-12Section 2 Maintenance Category and Content of MK SedanAs the vehicle is being used, its technical performance changes as the mileage accumulates and being affected by
various factors, which results in decrease of power, fuel economy, safety, and increase of emission pollutions,
noise and incidents. So timely maintenance during vehicle usage eliminates potential risks and prevents incidents
from happening, improves vehicle integrity and technical functionality, and prolongs useful life of the vehicle.
According to the vehicle technical requirements and usage history, maintenance of freedom Cruiser sedan can be
classified into several categories.I. first time maintenanceFirst time maintenance is also called breaking-in maintenance. It is performed when the vehicle mileage has
accumulated to 1500~2500km in breaking-in period. First time maintenance must be conducted at the appointed
service shops. It includes:
1. Check if there is any leak in engine, transmission, and differential. Fix if there is any.
2. Replace engine oil filter, engine oil and ATF for A/T.
3. Check the level of engine coolant, braking fluid, windshield washing fluid, power steering fluid and if there
is any leak. Refill if the level is too low and repair if there is any leak.
4. Check if there is any damage in triangle arm and ball joint, connection ball joint, triangle arm flexible hinge,
or the ball joint is loose. If there is, fix or replace it.
5. Check if the drive shaft dust cover is damaged. If there is, replace it.
6. Check if there is any leak in steering mechanism, or front and rear absorber and fix it there is any.
7. Check the tire pressure, front 230kpa, and rear 210kpa.II. Regular maintenanceAfter first time maintenance, the vehicle is in regular usage life. During regular use, the vehicle needs to be
maintained regularly according to the way it is used in.

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
