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. -

2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1) General Description
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine
operating conditions.
When the engine is cold, the cooling system cools the engine slowly or not at all. This slow
cooling of the engine allows the engine to warm up quickly.
The cooling system includes a radiator and recovery subsystem, cooling fans, a thermostat and
housing, a water pump, and a water pump drive belt. The timing belt drives the water pump.
All components must function properly for the cooling system to operation. The water pump
draws the coolant from the radiator. The coolant then circulates through water jackets in the
engine block, the intake manifold, and the cylinder head. When the coolant reaches the operating
temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat opens. The coolant then goes back to the radiator
where it cools.
This system directs some coolant through the hoses to the heat core. This provides for heating
and defrosting.
The coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator to recover the coolant displaced by expansion
from the high temperatures. The coolant reservoir maintains the correct coolant level.
The cooling system for this vehicle has no radiator cap or filler neck. The coolant is added to the
cooling system through the coolant reservoir.
2) Radiator
This vehicle has a lightweight tube-and-fin aluminum radiator. Plastic tanks are mounted on the
upper and the lower sides of the radiator core.
On vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles, the transaxle fluid cooler lines run through the
radiator tank.
A radiator drain plug is on this radiator.
To drain the cooling system, open the drain plug.
3) Coolant Reservoir
The coolant reservoir is a transparent plastic reservoir, similar to the windshield washer reservoir.
The coolant reservoir is connected to the radiator by a hose and to the engine cooling system by
another hose.
As the vehicle is driven, the engine coolant heats and expands. The portion of the engine coolant
displaced by this expansion flows from the radiator and the engine into the coolant reservoir. The
air trapped in the radiator and the engine is degassed into the coolant reservoir.
When the engine stops, the engine coolant cools and contracts. The displaced engine coolant is
then drawn back into the radiator and the engine. This keeps the radiator filled with the coolant to
the desired level at all times and increases the cooling efficiency.
Maintain the coolant level between the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant reservoir when the
system is cold.

1. OVERVIEW
The wiper and washer system are controlled by STICS according to driver's wiper switch
operation. And the detection of rain drops by rain sensor is transmitted to STICS as the signal for
wiper system control.
(saem as KYRON)
The characteristics of the wiper and washer system including basic functions of manual wiper are
as follows.
1) Wiper Function Coupled Auto Washer
Pressing the AUTO washer switch with the
ignition key OFF and INT AUTO switch OFF
sprays the washer fluid for 2 sec. and
operates the wiper 4 times and then
immediately sprays the washer fluid for 1.5
sec. and operates the wiper 3 times.
2) Integrated Auto Light Sensor in Rain Sensor Unit
The rain sensor unit is installed on the best
location to detect the rain drops and the
lighting intensity. And an auto light sensor is
newly integrated into the rain sensor unit for
more precise measurements. To control the
system, the sensed values of rain sensor and
auto light sensor are sent to pin no. 63 in
STICS unit. Auto

3) Fluidic Washer Nozzle
Fluidic Washer Nozzle is applied to the front washer spray system in this vehicle. The inside of
nozzle is designed to utilize the fluidic movement.
This is a shape of the inside of nozzle. It is designed to change the spraying direction
continuously according to the spraying time (fan-shape). The figure below shows the changes of
spraying direction according to the spraying time.
It is designed to be changed spraying direction using the whirlwind and backflow generated in
nozzle.Washer fluid inletSpray passage Counter-currentPassageWasher fluid outlet
