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 2 Body RepairSection 1 Body Damage Forms and requirements For RepairI. Damage Type The damage type includes deformation, crack, rust-through, water leakage, dust leakage and the like caused
by collision, overload, fatigue, and corrosion.
The body damage is not merely caused by the huge force. As some parts (such as door etc.) are damaged, the
vehicle stays in an abnormal status, which also can cause damage. In most cases, the bend and torsion is caused
by huge local load in the impact or turnover accident.
Typical Body Damage:
1. Front Center Collision (Fig. 5-13)Fig. 5-13 Front Center CollisionBody Repair -Body Damage Forms and requirements For Repair7-9 For the damage caused by the collision on the front center, it usually makes the engine compartment front part
and the engine hood left/right side extend inwards so the following positions shall be checked:
a. Ambience of the left/right assembling position of the hood plate
b. Ambience of the joints of the front cross beam and the left/right longitudinal beam
2. Front External Force or Left External Force (Fig. 5-14)Fig. 5-14 Front External Force or Left External Force As shown in Fig. 5-14, when the front is pressed or the left side end is acted by the external force, the external
force will spread to around the front suspension mounting position from the left/right side of the hood, so
deformation occurs easily in this position.
