2008 GEELY MK power steering

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.
B driving condition
1. Repeat driving within 8km a few times, or when the outdoor temperature is below 0 degree centigrade.
2. Idle the car drive at a low speed for a long time, such as police car, taxi, or door to door delivery vehicles.
3. Continuously drive the car at high speed for more than 2 hours (80% of the max speed).IV. Regular inspections1. weekly schedule

inspect engine oil level and cleanness
inspect engine coolant level
inspect brake fluid level

inspect windshield wash fluid level
inspect power steering fluid level
2. monthly inspections

inspect water pump belt
inspect electrolyte level in battery
inspect tire air pressure and wear

inspect steering wheel
inspect brake
inspect acceleration pedal
3. inspection when driving (low speed)

inspect speed meter and water temperature
check steering wheel power and if vehicle runs off-track

check if the front wheels skid or swing
inspect if brake functions or if the vehicle runs off-track when brake is functioning
4. other inspection items
Eliminate problems immediately when there is anything abnormalUsage and Maintenance of MK Series - Maintenance Category and Content 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.
