a. Overview of cooling fan and A/C compressor
The cooling system maintains the engine temperature at an efficient level during all engine operating
conditions. 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. The heat from automatic transaxle is also cooled down through the radiator by
circulating the oil through the oil pump.
There are two cooling fans (200W+150W) in D20DTF engine. ECU controls the electric cooling fans
with three cooling fan relays to improve the engine torque and air conditioning performance.
For details about A/C compressor and refrigerant pressure sensor, refer to Chapter "Air Conditioning
System" in "Body" section.
b. Components

4) Basic Inspection
(1) Horn operation
Listen for the horn sound when pressing the horn pad on the steering wheel. -
(2) Brake operation
Check if there is any abnormal noise, unusually long braking distance, or uneven braking force. If the
brake warning lamp does not go out even after starting the engien or are flashing during driving,
have the brake system checked immediately.
Check the brake pipes and hoses for connection, oil leak, crack or interference after changing the
position of tires. When replacing the tires, check the brake disc for surface condition and wear.
Check the parking brake cable and brake operation. Shorten the checking interval if the parking
brake is used frequently. -
-
-
(3) Exhaust system
Be aware to any changes in sound or smell from the exhaust system. These may be caused by leak or
overheat. Have the exhaust system checked and repaired immediately.
Inspect the exhaust system including catalytic converter. Inspect all the components and body frame
near the exhaust system. -
-
(4) Tires
Unusual vibration of the steering wheel and seats or pulling to one side on the straight and level roads
may indicates the uneven tire inflation pressure or poor wheel balance. -
(5) Steering and suspension system
Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damage, looseness or missing
parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering line and the hoses for
connection, leak, crack and chafing. Inspect the drive axle boot and seals for damage, tear or leak.
Replace or repair the system if necessary. -
(6) Engine oil
Check the oil level when the engine is still warm and add the specified engine oil if necessary. -
(7) Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir, coolant conditions (contamination, foreign material),
and hoses for damage and leak. Replace or add the Ssangyong genuine coolant, if needed. -
(8) Engine drive belt
Check all drive belts on the engine for wear, crack and looseness. Retighten or replace the belt, if
needed. -

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.A.
B.
Coolant reservoir
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 radiator are hot.
Avoid any direct contact of the coolant to the painted body of the vehicle. -

2) Leak Test
Release the pressure in the system by
loosening the pressure cap of the coolant
reservoir slightly. Then, remove the pressure
cap completely. A.
Never open the cap until the coolant
prevent any burn.
Add the coolant so that the coolant level is
between MAX and MIN mark on the coolant
auxiliary tank.
Connect the tester to the tank filler and apply
pressure (1.4 bar).
Check all the coolant hoses, pipes and
connections for leaks when the pressure of
the tester drops, and replace or tighten, if
necessary. B.

3) Thermostat
Immerse the thermostat into the water. Heat the
water and check the valve opening temperature.

(2) Warm-up Control Function
Low voltage
If low voltage is detected by the ECU, the idle speed increases up to 100 rpm selectively under the
driving mode until the ignition switch is turned off. Idle speed control
The idle speed is controlled according to the fuel/air mixture when the engine load is changed, the
power steering wheel is turned to its end, the selector lever is in the "D" position and the A/C compresso
r
is in operation. It is also controlled according to the charge level during the purge control operation.
Ignition timing
The idle speed is controlled according to the fuel/air mixture when the engine load is changed, The
Air conditioner compressor operation
The air conditioner control unit sends the air conditioner operation signal to the ECU to increase the
throttle valve opening amount in order to prevent reduction of the engine speed when the air conditioner
compressor is in operation at idling.
(3) Warm-up Control Operating Conditions
To make the catalytic converter reach a operating temperature, the ignition timing is retarded for about
20 seconds under the following conditions:
The selector lever is in the "P" or "N" position.
Also, the idle speed increases to 1100 ~ 1500 rpm simultaneously by the idle speed control. However, as
soon as the selector lever is shifted to the D position, warming up control of the catalytic converter will be
inhibited. The information necessary to perform such control is as follows:
Coolant temperature
Engine rpm
Intake air mass
Recognizing idling status
Selector lever position

3. INTEGRATED INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH
It is mounted to the instrument panel and combined with the cooler; which provides cooling and
dehumidification by repeating the cycles of compression -> condensation -> expansion -> evaporation,
and heater; which controls the heating systemically in the course of circulating the coolant heated by the
engine heat to the heater. This allows the driver to maintain the indoor comfortable conditions throughout
the year.
