Oil Level Check ▶
Check the fluid level on a level ground with the
engine turned off. The fluid level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir cap gauge.
Place the vehicle on a level ground and start
the engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).
Place the steering wheel at straight ahead
direction.
Check the oil level in the power steering oil
reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX
and MIN. A.
B.
C.
D.
Oil Change ▶
If the difference between two measurements
is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX
and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm,
bleed air from the system.
Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain
the fluid completely with oil suction device.
To make it easy, turn the steering wheel to its
both ends several times.
Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir
and bleed air from the steering system. A.

Air Bleeding ▶
The air bleeding should be done after servicing the
power steering system and when the difference
between two measurements (cooled and normal
temperature) is prominent.
Normal AbnormalLift up the vehicle very carefully.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends
several times and add the oil up to MAX line
in the steering oil reservoir.
Periodically crank the starting motor and turn
the steering wheel to its both ends without
any interruption.
Check the oil level again. If the oil level is
fluctuated, repeat the procedures from step 3
to step 5.
Start the engine.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends until
any bubble can be found in the steering oil
reservoir.
Perform the test drive and check the steering
wheel for normal operation and noise.
If the oil level abruptly goes up, bleed the air
from the system again. A.

Oil Pump Pressure Check ▶
Check the oil pump pressure to locate any defect
in oil pump.
Before checking the pressure, check the oil
level and belt tension. Prepare the empty
container to collect the spilled oil during the
service.
Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power
steering pump.
Install the pressure gauge between the
power steering pump and the power steering
oil pressure line.
Place the shift lever to neutral position. Apply
the parking brake.
Open the valve in pressure gauge. Start the
engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level. A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Fully close the valve in pressure gauge and
measure the oil pressure. F.
To prevent internal damage, do not close the
gauge valve over 10 seconds.
Keep the oil temperature at proper range. -

When a severe frontal impact occurs, seat
belt pre-tensioners rewind the seat belts
immediately to restrain the occupants to their
seats. It helps the ef￢fective operation of
the seat belts and airbags.
2) Pre-tensioner
3) Warning for Air Bag
Do not diagnose the circuit with a circuit tester. Do not attempt to modify any air bag
components including the steering wheel, air bag mounting area, and harness.
Do not impact any air bag components including the steering wheel, air bag mounting area,
and harness by hand or tools. You may get injured by sudden deployment.
The air bag components will be very hot after deployment. Do not touch them.
Once the air bag system is triggered, the triggered air bag assembly should be removed from
the vehicle and replaced with new one.
The air bag contains explosive materials, so contact Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong
Authorized Service Operation when trashing or replacing it.
Incorrect air bag inspection can be dangerous and cause injuries. The air bag system must be
disposed only by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.
Replace the steering wheel with only Ssangyong genuine part.
When the engine starts, the air bag warning lamp comes on for a system check. It goes out
after 3 to 7 seconds when the system is normal. If this warning lamp stays ON, then the system
may be defective. Have the air bag system checked immediately by Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.
The seat belt and air the bags are the most effective when you are sitting well back and upright
in the seat.
A child restraint system must not be placed on the front seat. The infant or child can be
severely injured by an air bag inflation in case of an accident.
Do not carry your child on your lap while driving. You cannot resist against the impact pressure
in an accident.
The child could be crushed between you and the parts of the vehicle.
Do not place any objects on the air bag inflation location. You may get injured by those objects
during deployment.
Do not attach any objects such as a sticker, scent bottle, or phone holder on the steering
wheel pad and to the dashboard. -
