2013 SSANGYONG KORANDO maintenance

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. -

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. -

Maintenance
If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a malfunction
in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check is needed.
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the battery
cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can be damaged due
to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth wetted with
soapy water. -

Hydraulic power steering Electric power steering
1. OVERVIEW
The electric power steering, EPS, does not have any belt-driven steering pump constantly running, so it
is lightweight and the motor consumes energy only when the steering wheel is turned by the driver, and
this leads to improvement in fuel efficiency. Also, the elimination of a belt-driven pump and its
accessories greatly simplifies manufacturing and maintenance. While offering these benefits, as it does
not contain any steering oil, the environment is not polluted both when the steering system is produced
and discarded.
In other words, the electric power steering (EPS) system uses the electric motor to assist the steering
force. It functions independently regardless of whether the engine is running or not, unlike the existing
hydraulic power steering.
The EPS system generates an assist steering force variably depending on the driving conditions by
controlling the motor's operation, based on the input signals from the sensors such as torque sensor and
angle sensor. In turn, the EPS receives the torque signal by the driver's movements of the steering
wheel, as well as the vehicle speed, and uses the motor to determine the assist torque. The EPS
controls the motor for this. Another features of EPS are fail-safe function, diagnosis function,
communication function between units and interface function for external diagnostic device.
The EPS system components such as the torque sensor, steering angle sensor, fail-safe relay, etc. are
located in the steering column and EPS unit assembly.
Advantages:
Assurance of improved steering
Provides optimal steering force according to the
vehicle speed
Enhanced steering stability while driving at high
speed (1)
-
-Reduced fuel consumption
Consumes energy only when steering wheel
is turned (improved by 3 to 5%)
Energy saving (reduced by 85% compared
with hydraulic power steering)
Reduced number of parts: Elimination of
steering pump, hydraulic hose, pump pulley,
oil reservoir, belt, bracket, etc. (2)

3. CAUTIONS FOR AIR BAG SYSTEM
Cautions for air bag maintenance
Whenever installing or removing the devices related to the air bag system, disconnect the negative
battery cable and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Do not connect a tester probe to the inflator to measure the resistance of the component of the air
bag system. The detonator of the inflator may explode due to a sudden extra power supplied by the
tester.
Note that the used components related to the air bag system, especially the air bag unit, should be
packed in an air tight container and prevent it from any impact or damage.
When there is any deployed air bag (including curtain air bag and seat belt pretensioner), the entire
system including the air bag unit should be replaced. The deployed air bag unit should not be reused
since it has status data when it is deployed, and the data cannot be cleared with a diagnostic device.
The air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems contain explosive charges, so handle carefully when
disposing or replacing them. 1.

Cautions for air bag maintenance
Do not modify, change or apply impact on any air bag component. The air bag may be deployed
abruptly, causing serious injuries.
Children and infants should ride in a rear seat. Seating in the passenger seat with carrying a
child or infant is strictly prohibited. An infant or a child could be severely injured by the air bag
deployment.
A child restraint system must not be installed on the front seat. An infant or a child could be severely
injured by the air bag deployment when it is fitted to the passenger seat.
Do not place any objects on the air bag inflation location. You may get injured by those objects during
deployment.
Never put your arms around the front seat from behind, lean on the front seatback, or put your arms
out of the window. You can severely injured when the side air bag deploys.
Never lean on the door since it becomes very dangerous when the side air bag deploys.
The side air bag deploys when there is a severe side collision.
Do not slam the front door to close it. The side air bag may deploy unexpectedly.
When an occupant fastens the seat belt in an unstable or inclined posture, the air bag system cannot
protect the occupant properly. Moreover, the occupant can be injured by the air bag.
Do not move your seat too close to the steering wheel or dashboard. Being too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during the air bag deployment could cause serious injury,
including death
Hold only the outer rim of the steering so that the air bag can inflate without any hindrance.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel. Never allow the passenger to put hands or feet on the dash
board. The air bag cannot work properly Do not hold and operate the steering wheel by crossing your
arms You could get seriously injured when the air bag deploys. 1.
