2013 SSANGYONG KORANDO tire type

Newly added TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
TPMS related warning lamp
TPMS warning lamp Global warning lamp
- TPMS warning lamp: Comes on if an error occurs in any component
related to the TPMS regardless of tire inflation pressure.
- Global warning lamp: Comes on when the tire pressure is low.
DOT LCD display window (supervision
type)
Displays current tire pressure and
abnormality.

Stabilizer bar assembly
The stabilizer bar assembly is not activated if the left/right
wheels move up/down simultaneously, but if both wheels
move up/down differently it is activated with frame to
minimize the tilting of the body.
5. FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENT LAYOUT
Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle. The Macpherson Strut suspension
is an independent suspension which has a spring on the strut with a built-in shock absorber. The lower
arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is installed on the knuckle to support the tire.
Lower arm assembly
The lower arm assembly connects the frame and
knuckle. It supports the load transferred to the tire
knuckle, relieves the impact from the vehicle and ground
conditions, and ensures driving stability.

3) General Instructions
Before lifting up the vehicle with a lift, correctly support the lifting points.
When using a jack, park the vehicle on a level ground and place the wheel chocks under the tires.
Position the jack under the frame and lift up the vehicle and then support with chassis stand before
service work.
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to electric
systems.
If you have to work on vehicle, cover the seats and floor with protection covers to avoid any
damage and contamination.
Brake fluid and anti-freeze can damage the painted surface of body. So carefully handle them
during service work.
To improve the efficiency of service work, use only recommended and specified tools.
Use only Ssangyong genuine spare parts.
Never reuse the cotter pin, gasket, O-ring, oil seal, lock washer and self-locking nut. Replace them
with new ones. If reused, normal functions cannot be maintained.
Store the disassembled parts as a set based on disassembly order and unit.
Pay particular attention not to miss or mix the fasteners.
If necessary, especially for inspection, clean the removed parts completely.
Apply the oil or grease on the running and sliding surfeces before installation. Use the specified
sealant and gasket to prevent leakage if necessary.
Tighten the fasteners to the specified tightening torque.
As a final stage of service work, check if the serviced system is working properly and the problem
has been eliminated clearly. (1)

Manual transaxle: Transaxle can be separated after removing the front module (sub frame, engine
and transaxle).
Automatic transaxle: Transaxle can be separated after removing the sub frame. -

2) Equipment
Korando is FF (Front Engine Front Drive) type vehicle, and engine and powertrain system are
integrated into a module. Therefore, 2-post lift and general equipment are necessary when working
on the engine and transmission.
Major equipment: Engine and transmission jack, Engine stand, Engine crane, Transmission jack,
Engine hanger -

1) Front Suspension (Macperson Strut Type)
Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle.
Macperson strut type suspension is the independent suspension which has the spring on the strut
integrated with shock absorber. The lower arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is
installed on the knuckle to support the tire. This type of suspension is normally applied to the vehicle with
monocoque body, especially on the front wheel drive type. The upper part with spring is mounted at
body mount and the strut with shock absorber is linked on the steering knuckle.
Advantages
Compact and simple design
Stable wheel alignment
Good load distribution and easy installation
Less effect from tire up/down movement 1.

Disadvantages
Comparatively weak to the impact from road surface and lateral shock due to long strut and single
swing arm 1.

If weight is not equally distributed around the wheel, unbalance centrifugal force by the wheel rotation
produces vibration. As the centrifugal force is produced proportional to the square of the rotating speed,
the wheel weight should be balanced even at high speed. There are two types of the tire and wheel
balancing: static and dynamic. Abnormal vibration may also occur due to unbalanced rigidity or size of
tires.
1) Static Balance
When the free rotation of the wheel is
allowed, the heavier part is stopped on the
bottom if the wheel weight is unbalanced and
this is called "Static Unbalance". Also, the
state at which tire's stop position is not same
is called "Static Balance" when the wheel is
rotated again. If the part A is heavier as
shown in the figure 1, add the balance weight
of a weight corresponding to unbalanced
weight from B to A to maintain the static
balance. If the static balance is not
maintained, tramping, up and down vibration
of the wheels, occurs.
2) Dynamic Balance
The static unbalance of the wheel creates
the vibration in the vertical direction, but the
dynamic unbalance creates the vibration in
the lateral direction. As shown in the figure
2 (a), if two parts, (2) and (3), are heavier
when the wheels are under the static
balance condition, dynamic unbalance is
created, resulting in shimmy, left and right
vibration of the wheels, and the torque Fxa
is applied in the axial direction. To correct
the dynamic unbalance, add the balance
weight of a same weight for two points of
the circumference of the rim, A and B, as
shown in the figure 2 (b), and apply the
torque in the opposite direction to the
torque Fxa to offset in order to ensure
smooth rotation of the wheel.

3. CAUTIONS
The tire pressure values displayed on the instrument cluster are sent from the wheel modules after
the vehicle is driven for a period of time. Therefore, they are not displayed at initial start (more than
20 minutes have elapsed after ignition off). It can be displayed after 10 minutes of driving at speed of
20 km/h or higher. -
The TPMS uses a radio frequency and a high frequency band between the wheel module and the
TPMS ECU for communication.
Therefore, if the vehicle is equipped with the electronic equipment such as mobile camera monitor
or the vehicle is passing through the area with a strong electromagnetic field, the system may not
operate normally.
For the vehicle equipped with the TPMS, the TPMS warning lamp on the instrument cluster comes
on and pressure values on the EL display is displayed as bars (--) after driving for a certain period of
time if a newly installed tire is not equipped with the wheel module. -
