2-19 (4) Tire wear limits When the wear limit mark on tire shows up as the tire wears, it must be replaced with new tires (wear limit mark
indicates the thickness of tire pattern is 1.6mm).
5. Maintenance of wiper and washer
Status of wiper and washer directly influences windshield and driver's view. So, pay attention to wipers and
washers.
(1) Wiper Check if the wiper blade has any damage, deformation, which affects windshield wiping quality
and if the wiper works well. If wiper blade does not wipe well or the wiper does not work well, fix or replace it
in time.
(2) Washer Check washing fluid level in the tank, and refill when necessary. To get best washing effects, use
specified washing fluid, refill slowly, and pay attention not to mix it with any dirt. Mix the washing fluid with some
alcohol in winter to avoid freezing.
6. inspect and adjust headlampIncorrect beam of the headlamps affects safety of driving in the dark. So they must be inspected regularly, and be
adjusted when necessary.
7. Maintenance of inside the vehicle
The major content of maintenance inside the vehicle is cleaning, to keep the vehicle clean and provide fresh and
pleasant driving circumstance. The key points of indoor cleaning are:
(1) Ways to remove stains Get rid of dust before trying to remove stains, and then apply appropriate cleansing,and wipe the stains off with clean, soft, and not too wet cloth repeatedly.
(2) Cleansing It is better to remove stains on textile and man-made leather with hydro solvent made from soap
fluid and surface active agent. Be careful to avoid using any cleansing because they may corrode the synthetic
decoration materials more or less. Ball-pen and lipstick marks can be removed with alcohol, grease can be removed
with low Ron value gasoline, and chocolate and sugar stains can be cleaned with ammonia spirit, asphalt must be
cleaned with special cleansing.Tire Specification Tire Pressure (KPa)
Front Tire 185/60R15 84H or 175/65R14 82H 230
Rear Tire 185/60R15 84H or 175/65R14 82H 210c. Wavy wear on the tread is related to its quality and positioning of the wheels. Find out the root cause
and eliminate any problems.
d. Serious wear on the outer side beside the tread of steering wheels means the wheel outward leaning angle
is too big; wear on the inner side beside the tread means the leaning angle is too small.
e. When the toe-in value is getting smaller, the wear on the outer side of tread is in shape of saws. On the
contrary, when the inner side has the saw shape wear means the toe-in value is too big.
(2) Maintenance
a. Keep the tire pressure to specified value under any circumstances. Measure the pressure on cold tire
b. Check tire pressure regularly, and remove any indented objects that may stick through the tires.
c. Avoid oil, gasoline, and brake fluid on tires.
d. When replaced with new tires, the wheels need to be balanced and adjusted again. Or the vehicle may
shake when running at high speed and bear abnormal wear.
e. Do not mix tires of different structure, pattern, or brand on one vehicle.

Part III EngineChpater 1 Engine AssemblyInformation about engine accessories in MK-1 Car Maintenance Manual deals with only that concerned with a
complete car. Please refer to separated Maintenance Manual for information about the engine body. Engines
concerned are MR479Q, MR479QA and MR481QA.Section 1 Engine Inspection1. Check the engine oil
(1) Check the oil level.
(2) Start the engine, and reach warm-up temperature.
(3) Shut the engine down, wait for 3-5min, and check the oil level.
(4) Check whether the oil level is in within the range marked by the scale; if it is lower than the limit (mark
L), fill oil to mark F.
(5) Keep the oil clean without any coolant or petrol mixed in and with appropriate viscosity.
2. Change oil.
(1) Start the engine. When normal temperature is reached, shut down the engine.
(2) Open the oil cap, remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil.
(3) Tighten the oil drain plug to a specified torque 54N.m.
(4) Fill fresh oil into the crank case with oil quantity 2.8L in case of the filter not changed, 3.0L in case of the
filter changed and 3.5L in case of the dry filter.
(5) Fit on the oil filling cap.
(6) Start the engine.
(7) Shut down the engine and check the oil quantity, and fill oil to the mark F on the oil scale if necessary.
3. Replace the oil filter.
(1) Remove the oil filter.
(2) Before mounting the oil filter, apply a small quantity of engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter.
(3) Tight the oil filter to a specified torque (12.7N.m).
(4) Start the engine, and check whether there is any leakage
(5) Shut down the engine, check the oil quantity and fill as required.
4. Oil selection
Oil over PAI SG grade is preferred.
SAE10W-30 or SAE10W-40 is preferred, and ASE5W-30 is used in cold region in the winter.
Note: For the best effect and the greatest safety, it is advisable to use the following lubrication oil.
a. Meet the requirements of API level.
b. Select proper SAE viscosity rating within expected ambient temperature.
The lubrication oil that can not meet the requirements of SAE viscosity and API label at the same time is not
allowed.
5. Check the coolant.
(1) After the engine is cooled down, remove the radiator cover.EngineEngine Assembly3-1 -

2. Check the engine coolant quantity in the compensating tank.
The coolant level should be between LOW and FULL.
3. Check the coolant quality.
(1) Remove the radiator cover.
Do not remove the radiator cover when the engine and the radiator are still hot in order to avoid scalding
since the liquid vapor may inject.
(2) Check whether there are excessive deposit and rust or sundries around the radiator cover. The coolant is
not allowed to contact with oil.
(3) Remount the radiator cover.Chapter 5 Cooling SystemSection 1 System Inspection1. Check leakage in the cooling system (see Figure 5-1).
(1) Fill coolant in the radiator, and mount the tester at the radiator
cover port.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Keep the pump pressure at 118KPa without drop. If the
pressure drops,check whether there is any leakage at the port,
radiator and water pump; if not, check the heating core,
cylinder and cap.Figure 5-1
