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. -

3. CHECK AND INSPECTION
1) Cylinder
(1) Compression pressure test
Specified value ▶
Compression ratio16.5 : 1
Test conditionat normal operating temperature (80˚C)
Compression pressureStandard32 bar
Minimum18 bar
Differential limit between cylindersMaximum 3 bar
The compression pressure test is to check the conditions of internal components (piston, piston ring,
intake and exhaust vale, cylinder head gasket). This test provides current engine operating status.
Before cranking the engine, make sure that the test wiring, tools and persons are keeping away
from moving components of engine (e.g., belt and cooling fan).
Park the vehicle on the level ground and apply the parking brake.
Do not allow anybody to be in front of the vehicle. -

Pump capacity: 210 cc/rev
Camshaft speed: 375 to 3,000 rpm
Lubrication temperature: -40 to
155°C
Oil: 5W30
Drive type: Driven by exhaust

2. VACUUM PUMP
Vacuum pump generates the vacuum pressure and supplies it to EGR cooler bypass solenoid. This
pump is single vane type and displacement is 210 cc/rev. The lubrication oil is supplied through the hole
in hollow shaft.
Components ▶
EGR cooler bypass valve
This valve is controlled by ECU.
When the engine is cooled, the
exhaust gas goes to combustion
chamber without passing through
EGR cooler because the valve is
closed by vacuum pressure.

2. MAINTENANCE
1) Level Check
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) ma rk and minimum (Min) mark on the oil dipstick.
Oil should be replenished before the level goes below the minimum mark.
-
-
-
Operating vehicle with insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine. Make sure the engine oil
level is correct and add oil if necessary.
2) 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.
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.

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.
Check the coolant level. If the level is below the “MIN” mark, immediately add coolant. 1.
2.
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. -

(3) Starting with jumper cable
If the battery is weak or terminated, the battery from another vehicle can be used with jumper cables to
start the engine.
Connecting order ▶
The positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery
The positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
The negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the body of the discharged vehicle, such as the engine
block or a front towing hook. 1.
2.
3.
4.
Starting ▶
Prepare a set of jumper cables.
Place another vehicle that has the same 12 V of power near to the discharged vehicle.
Switch off all electrical accessories for the discharged vehicle.
Apply the parking brake and shift the transaxle to the P position (automatic transaxle) or neutral (N)
position (manual transaxle).
Connect the jumper cables.
Try to start the discharged vehicle while accelerating the engine rpm in the booster vehicle.
Attempt to start the engine with the discharged battery.
After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence of
connection. 1.

3) Decelerating with the Cruise Control System
(1) While the cruise control system is running
Push down the DECEL switch of the cruise control lever and hold it until the desired speed is reached
without a brake pedal intervention. But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at
less than 34 km/h.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. 1.
2.
(2) When the cruise control system is not running
To decrease the vehicle speed with the cruise control system when the system is not running, follow the
procedures below.
Push down the cruise control switch lever to DECEL side and hold it until the desired speed is
reached while the vehicle speed is over 36 km/h.
And then release the accelerator pedal slowly.
When the desired speed is reached, release the lever. But the cruise control system cannot maintain
the cruise function at less than 34 km/h. 1.
2.
3.
(3) Tap-down while the cruise control system is running
To decrease the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the
procedures below.
Push down the DECEL switch of the cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while
the cruise control system is running. This is a tap-down switching. When you operate a tap-down
switching, the vehicle is decelerated for 1.0 km/h below the previous set speed.
If you want to decelerate for 10 km/h, operate the tap-down switching ten times without the brake pedal
intervention. 1.
