Engine and accessories ▶
Engine has a lot of precise components. The specified tightening torque and correct procedures should
be kept during service works. And, the working area is always clean and well prepared.
When disassembling the engine, related parts (bolts, gaskets, etc.) should be stored as a set.
Carefully read the disassembly and reassembly procedures in this manual before starting the
works.
Clean the components completely with engine oil before assembling if needed.
Fully drain the engine oil, coolant and fuel from the vehicle and seal the inlets with the plugs before
removing the engine.
All the interference should be eliminated before removing the engine. -

-
Tightening the fastener ▶
When reassembling the parts to G20DF, use the angle tightening as a final step.
1. Clean the mating surfaces before tightening.
2. Place the marks with paint to tighten by angle if the angle wrench is not available.Exhaust system ▶
Wear the protective gloves before removing the exhaust pipe.
The exhaust pipe is very hot immediately after stopping th engine. Check if the exhaust pipe is fully
cooled down before servicing the exhaust system. -
-
Cooling system ▶
Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious
injury. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine and the radiator are hot. -
The position and direction of the componets is based on the rear view.
Do not tighten the fasteners with excessive force. Especially, the threads of cylinder block could be
damaged.
The self screw bolt makes the thread itself when tightening it. Do not apply excessive force.
Do not reuse the bolt that has been tightened with angle tightening method.

Fuel and engine oil system ▶
The engine oil and fuel damages the painted surfaces and rubber material of the vehicle.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery before servicing the fuel system, and prepare the
service plug grip.
When working with the fuel or oil systems in enclosed area, always keep the working area well-
ventilated and never allow anybody to smoke.
Do not allow the gasoline to contact to rubber or leather parts.
Carefully separate the pipe between high pressure fuel pump and fuel injector so that any fuel can
be spilled out.
Fully release the pressure from the fuel system before removing any parts of fuel system.
To release the fuel pressure in high pressure line, let the engine fully cool down.
Gaskets and seals on the fuel and oil systems should be replaced with new ones. All bolts and nuts
should be tightened as specified.
Prolonged exposure to the engine oil make cause a skin cancer or an irritation.
Used engine cotains the hazardous material that may cause the skin cancer. Do not allow the used
engine to make contact with your skin.
Make sure to wear the protection gloves and goggle when handling the engine oil. If contact
happens, rinse affected areas immediately with plenty of water. Do not wash it with gasoline or
solvent. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Improperly disposed engine oil can pollute the environment. Dispose the used engine oil and oil
filter in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Make sure to check the connections for leak after installation. -

Electric devices ▶
To prevent any damage to electric systems, make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the
battery and place the ignition switch to OFF position before servicing.
Use only the specified parts with same ratings when replacing the electric devices. Check the
grounds and connections for looseness. -
- Extraordinary care should be taken when servicing the electric systems. Currently, the engine uses a lot
of electric devices. Short circuit and poor contact may cause the low engine performance, incomplete
combustion and other abnormalities.

3. CAUTIONS
Do not park the vehicle on flammable materials, such as grass, leaves and carpet.
Do not touch the catalyst or the exhaust gas ignition system when the engine is running.
If a misfire occurs in the combustion chamber or the emission of pollutant exceeds the specified level,
the catalyst can be damaged.
When servicing or replacing components of the exhaust system, makes sure that the components
are positioned at regular intervals from all other parts of the under body.
Be careful not to damage the exhaust system when lifting the vehicle from its side.
All components and body parts of the engine exhaust system should be inspected for crack, damage,
air hole, part loss and incorrect mounting location. Also check for any deformation which can result in
exhaust gas drawn into the vehicle.
Make sure that the exhaust pipe is cooled down sufficiently before working on it because it is still hot
right after the engine is stopped.
Wear protective gloves when removing the exhaust pipe. -

2. MAINTENANCE
Park the vehicle on a level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait more than 5
minutes.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert it all the way.
Pull out it again and check the oil level.
The oil level should be between the maximum (Max) mark and minimum (Min) mark on the oil
dipstick. Oil should be replenished before the level goes below the minimum mark. -

Max Min
Replenishment ▶
If the level gets to the lower point, open the filler cap on top of the cylinder block and add the genuine oil
without exceeding the level of the upper mark.
Recheck the oil level after 5 minutes.Operating vehicle with insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine. Make sure the engine oil level
is correct and add oil if necessary.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine.
The oil should not go above the upper mark on the dipstick.
The engine oil may be consumed more if the engine is new. -

1) Coolant Level Check
Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine and wait until it is
cooled down. The coolant level should be between the MAX and MIN mark on the coolant reservoir.
If the coolant level is below the “MIN” mark, immediately add coolant. A.
