3. ENGINE COMPARTMENT LAYOUT
Do not work on the engine compartment while the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, muffler
or catalytic converter is hot. Always turn the engine off and allow it to cool before starting the
maintenance.
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. -

1) Oxidation of DOC
The DOC oxidizes HC and CO of the exhaust gas in the two-way catalytic converter at 180℃ or

1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) Exhaust System
When you are inspecting or replacing exhaust system components, make sure there is adequate
clearance from all points on the underbody to avoid possible
overheating of the floor panel and possible damage to the passenger compartment insulation
and trim materials.
Check the complete exhaust system and the nearby body areas and trunk lid for broken,
damaged, missing or mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, or other
deterioration which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the trunk may be an indication of a
problem in one of these areas. Any defects should be corrected immediately.
2) Catalytic Converter (Gasoline Engine)
When jacking or lifting the vehicle from the body side rails, be certain that the lift pads do not
contact the catalytic converter, as this could damage the catalytic converter.
Use of anything other than unleaded fuel will damage the catalyst in the catalytic converter. 1.

Catalytic Converter Structure ▶
The Catalytic converter of monolith type consists
of 2 walled metal bodies which is made of
Cordierite. The principal element of converter
consists of the materials like Alumina or oxidized
Serume in order to apply to Ceramic Monolith.
Washer coat operates first, and catalytic metal
elements (Pt, Pd, Rh) operates to washer coat
next.
Monolith type is lighter than other types, easy to
manufacture and quickly approaches to proper
temperature. Washer coat is used to make a
contact surface with exhaust gas bigger by
adhering closely to small holes
of inner layer. If a lead compound or phosphorus
adheres to the surface and the temperature rises,
its surface is decreased. The total area of general
monolith converter is about 45, 000~500,000ft3.
(10 times of a football field) Generally
Alumina
(AL2 O3) is used as a raw materialand its 7
phases of gamma, delta, theta have big areas and
high stability for the temperature, and nowadays
gamma Alumina is used usually.

Catalytic Converter and Temperature ▶
Catalytic converter has the normal function of
purification at a range of the temperature.
Because it has a weak point of decreasing of
the purification rate in the condition of
continuous high temperature, it should keep
the temperature range of 400 to 500°C for
normal condition. HC purification rate
becomes better according to the increase of
temperature in the normal range of
temperature. CO purification rate becomes
the best near the temperature of 450°C, and
NOx does so near the temperature of 400 to
500°C.

By catalytic action of two primary catalytic
converter, oxidation occurs in order to
