VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Replacing engine oil

Taking into consideration the quality of 

introduced oil, amount of kilometer for 

replacing oil is recommended each 6000 

kilometers in normal conditions and each 

4000 kilometers in hard conditions.*

Checking engine oil level

Level of engine oil shall be checked regularly 

and its shortage shall be procured between 

the intervals of oil replacing.

Level of engine oil is measured while the 

vehicle is parked on a level ground and also 

the engine is cold, by means of the engine 

oil dipstick on which there are two limit marks 

appropriately.

Mark H: High limit marking

Mark L: Low limit marking

Oils checking and replacing

Level of engine oil shall not be upper than 

the H marking, or lower than the L marking. 

If the engine oil is located on L marking, the 

amount of 1 liter oil shall be added to reach to 

H marking, and if it is between these two limit 

markings, the required amount of engine oil 

shall be added, also take care that the engine 

oil level shall not exceed the H marking.

Burned oil

- Avoid any long contact of burned oil with 

body skin.

- Never pour the burned oil on water channels 

or on the ground.

- In order to ensure appropriate and long 

performance of the vehicle engine, no additive 

shall be added to engine oil.

Do you Know…

The main task of gasoline filter in vehicles 

is  to  refine  and  absorb  the  particles 

and impurities of gasoline, and help to 

optimize fuel combustion in vehicle’s 

engine cylinder.

Usually, in interior structure of gasoline 

filter,  the  special  papers  with  tiny  holes 

are used, which will be blocked by 

passing time due to absorption of gasoline 

particles.

Blockage of gasoline filter holes will reduce 

its  efficiency,  and  will  cause  disorder 

in engine combustion process and will 

increase unwanted fuel consumption.

Therefore, according to following items:

• 

Existing environmental and road conditions

• Better fuel combustion in engine

• Not to apply unwanted and unnecessary 

force on gasoline pump

• Not to increase fuel consumption

take  action  to  replace  gasoline  filter  for 

injector vehicles and install standard filter, 

at most after each 20000 kilometers. 

Making  use  of  standard  filters  approved 

by IKCO industrial group is necessary. It is 

recommended to avoid replacing gasoline 

filter  in  miscellaneous  repair  workshops, 

some of personnel are not familiar with 

manner of plugging and unplugging 

instant connection circuit connected to 

BATTERY SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

gasoline filter, and perform this action as 

much as possible in authorized repair 

workshops and authorized IKCO dealers, 

who are benefiting from special tools and 

trained personnel.

Fuel consumption Tips

In order to reduce fuel consumption and 

obtain the least fuel consumption amount 

for your vehicle, pay attention to following 

items:

• Always ensure engine health, by 

performing regular checks and 

observing vehicle maintenance rules 

(on-time  replacing  of  air  filter)  based 

on the information inserted on Owner’s 

manual.

• Make use of appropriate tire for the 

vehicle (based on Owner’s Manual) 

and  always  adjust  tire’s  inflation 

pressure.

• Drive with patience and avoid 

unnecessary acceleration and 

deceleration during driving.

• Avoid driving at high speed on 

roads. Minimum fuel consumption 

(appropriate) is obtained in fixed speed 

of 90 Km/h.

• Take out extra loads from the vehicle.

• In long-term stops, power off your 

vehicle.

• Adjust your urban travels in a manner 

that not to be driving at rush hours or 

heavy traffic roads.

• Park your vehicle in appropriate place in 

different seasons of year (roofed areas, 

shadow places).

• During driving on steep slope, make use 

of appropriate heavy gear, in a way that 

there is no need to pull the accelerator 

pedal.

Fuel saving

Thermal Protective plate of exhaust 

manifold

For the purpose of removing effects of 

thermal radiations of exhaust manifold to 

throttle and air manifold set, a protective 

plate is designed between air manifold 

and exhaust.

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption is not just depends on 

vehicle designing, but is also depends 

on vehicle maintenance manner. In case 

of complying with the following tips, you 

will be able to reduce fuel consumption 

significantly.

Tip: Blocked air filter will reduce engine 

power. If the vehicle is used in unpaved 

road, please shorten the interval of filter 

replacement.

ALTERNATOR AND FAN BELT 

Engine and gearbox Running-in 

(Sealing)

Gradual running-in of a new engine and 

drive transmission system (gearbox and 

differential) is of high important in the 

vehicle, which shall be under complete care 

of the driver, because in this case, you can 

be ensured that different components of 

vehicles in a long-term period will have their 

most  efficiency  at  lowest  cost.  It  shall  be 

added that, lubrication process of different 

parts is of special importance not only 

about the engine and gearbox, but also 

in other parts of chassis including wheels 

bearings and other driving parts of a vehicle. 

This process shall be completed through 

a  gradual  manner  during  first  3000  km  of 

driving.

It shall be considered that during running-

in  period,  no  extra  load  shall  be  inflicted 

on the engine, for example driving at 4th 

gear at low speed on uphill roads. In these 

cases, lower speed gears (heavier gears) 

shall be used. Showing patience for a new 

vehicle in running-in period (sealing) is of 

great important both at driving mode and idle 

mode.

At  first  800  kilometers  of  driving,  the 

maximum speed shall be observed as 

following:

Gear 1: 15 Km/.h.

Gear 2: 30 Km/h.

Gear 3: 50 Km/h.

Gear 4: 65 Km/h.

Gear 5: 80 Km/h.

From 800 kilometers of driving up to 1600 

kilometers, the vehicle speed shall not 

exceed the following numbers, and after that, 

increasing speed can be done gradually:

Gear 1: 20 Km/.h.

Gear 2: 40 Km/h.

Gear 3: 60 Km/h.

Gear 4: 80 Km/h.

Gear 5: 90 Km/h.

After  finishing  the  first  800  kilometer 

driving, drive to IKCO authorized repair 

workshop for performing free service 

and checking, the sheet of free service 

and list minutes will be delivered to you 

at time of vehicle delivery. All of IKCO 

authorized repair workshop will take 

action to perform required service by 

presenting free service sheet, providing 

that the abovementioned card is sealed 

and signed by IKCO.

ATTENTION

:

 

Never drive at neutral gear in steep slopes, whether the engine is 

powered ON or OFF.

A- Vehicle Maintenance

- Service and maintenance of vehicle materials 

in recommended intervals and replacing the 
consumables timely, (oil, etc.) and regular 
check of parts effective in fuel consumption.

- Engine adjustment according to 

recommendations of vehicle manufacturer.

- Filler-making of spark plugs correctly.
-  Replace  air  filter  in  determined  intervals  in 

service and maintenance section.

-  Adjust  tires  inflation  pressure.  (When  the 

tires inflation pressure is low, friction of tires 
with road level will be increased and fuel 
consumption will be more.)

- Making use of standard recommended tires.

B- Manner of driving

-  By  predicting  traffic  speed,  avoid  sudden 

brakes.

- Shift the gear smoothly, and do this shift 

when the engine is reached to balanced 

speed.

- Do not drive at high speed. The best fuel 

consumption is reached in gear 5 at the 

speed of 90 Km/h.

- Increasing the speed will increase the 

fuel consumption. (fuel consumption in 

traveling 100 Km at speed of 90 Km/h, is 

approximately 7.6 liters.) after overheating 

if water temperature higher than normal 

limit, drive slowly and avoid unnecessary 

acceleration.

- Warm up the engine in first initial kilometers 

of traveling gradually by driving at balanced 

speed.

- Driving with high acceleration will increase 

the fuel consumption. It is better to drive at 

low speed.

- In heavy gear (1 and 2), avoid high 

acceleration. Make use of highest gear 

of engine without putting force to engine. 

Reduce the need for using brakes by keeping 

in safe distance with front vehicle.

-  By  predicting  traffic  changes,  you  will  be 

able  to  adjust  vehicle  speed  with  traffic  by 

releasing accelerator pedal and without using 

brake.

- Turn off electrical equipment when there is 

really no need to them.

- Preferably make use of air vents instead of 

lowering windows.

- Travel with planning.

- Do not make use of vehicle in short travels if 

possible.

- Driving in the city has the highest fuel 

consumption.

- Make use of beltway roads in traveling and 

avoid entering cities and encountering traffic 

as a result.

and replaced if necessary.

Fueling system:

Fueling system includes injectors, fuel rail, 

gasoline pump fuel tubes and gasoline 

filter shall be check for existence of any 

leakage.

ATTENTION:

In order to prevent high rpm, injection of 

fuel to engine will be cut off in rpms higher 

than 5500.

Gasoline:

Gasoline quality is not also effective in the 

amount of fuel consumption, but also in 

long time, it is effective on the mechanical 

status and engine performance.

Filling gasoline tank:

Gasoline tank shall be filled just when the 

vehicle engine is powered off. If you filled 

the tank and observe that the nozzle is 

cutting off, stop refueling.

use of firm cables and clamps for connection.

2. Connect the positive terminal of emergency 

battery to positive terminal of breakdown 

battery, and connect the negative terminal 

of emergency battery to negative terminal of 

battery or body of breakdown vehicle by means 

of cable clamps. (parallel connection)

3. After powering on the breakdown vehicle, 

immediately disconnect the cable clamps of 

emergency battery from the breakdown battery.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

- The sulfuric acid in the battery is corrosive. If this 

chemical contacted with your skin, immediately 

wash that. The charged battery or battery under 

charging will rise up hydrogen which is extremely 

flammable.  Never  approximate  fire  flame  to  it. 

(Danged of explosion).

- Be careful to connect the cables correctly to 

prevent damaging of vehicle charging system.

- Avoid charging the battery which is suspicious of 

freezing.

- At time of battery charging, put away from it any 

ignition  or  fire.  (The  charged  battery  or  battery 

under charging will rise up hydrogen which is 

extremely flammable).

- After charging the battery before connecting it to 

the car, an hour wait to get out of it and the risk of 

ignition of flammable gas is low.

- Never throw out breakdown batteries in the 

nature, give them to organization which are 

responsible for collection and recycling these kinds 

of batteries.

WARNING

- Avoid

 

powering on 

vehicle engine when the 

vehicle battery is suspicious of freezing.

- Ensure that

 

both 

battery voltages are the 

same (12 V). the connection cables with insulated 

clamps are suitable for use in 12 V batteries.

- Never

 

disconnect 

the cables of empty 

battery from it when you are trying to perform 

battery-to-battery connection.

- Never connect the positive terminal of battery to 

negative terminal, and ensure that the connection 

cables stay away from moving parts of engine.

- Adding non-standard electrical equipment will 

damage the vehicle electric system and battery, 

and will void the warranty of these parts.

WARNING

- Avoid charging the battery when it is connected to 

vehicle. This action may inflict serious damage to 

vehicle’s electric system.

- If the battery caps are able to be opened, it is better 

to check level of water and battery acid on monthly 

basis, to check whether they are up to Max. level 

marked on battery body, and add distilled water in 

case of shortage of water or battery acid.

- In case the vehicle is not used for more than 6 

days, it shall be powered on at least one time and 

stay powered on for one hour.

Caution

The acid existing in battery is a corrosive and 

poisoning chemical, pay attention to following 

items in case of its leakage:

- In case of its pouring on cloth or skin, immediately 

take off polluted cloth and wash the skin of 

contacting point with plenty of water, then, refer to 

physician.

Tires

Tires Inflation pressure

Tires inflation pressure shall be checked when 

the tires are cold, because warm tires have 

extra inflation pressure.

Never  deflate  extra  inflation  pressure  of 

warm tires. In order to be informed of correct 

amount of tires inflation pressure, refer to the 

label attached in the vehicle on driver’s side. 

Adjusting tires inflation pressure will have the 

following advantages:

- More dominance on vehicle driving.

- Softer and more accurate steering vehicles 

driving and turning.

- Savings fuel consumption; the smallest tire 

deformation will increase circular friction in 

road.

- Greater durability of tire.

-  Insufficient  inflation  pressure  of  tires  will 

increase circular friction of tire and will increase 

fuel consumption.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Caution

There is danger of wearing or separation of tire 

tread in tires with insufficient inflation pressure, 

which  will  result  in  deflating  or  explosion  of 

tire.  In  case  of  insufficient  inflation  pressure, 

lots of forces are put on them, and they will be 

overheated.

Collision with street curbs

There are dangers of deformation, cutting or 

bulging of tire cover which will be increased 

gradually  and  will  result  in  instant  deflation  or 

explosion of tire.

Falling into the pit

There are dangers of ring deformation, or 

damage of tire. These kind of impacts will often 

cause cutting of internal cover of tire which is 

not visible from outside, and its amount will be 

increased by traveling distance and will cause 

cover tearing. Cover tearing will result in unusual 

wearing of tire treads in one part of tire and may 

lead to instant air deflation or tire explosion.

WARNING

Insufficient  inflation  pressure  will  cause 

emergence of corrosion before normal time and 

unnatural warming up of tires and also will cause 

several consequences in respect of safety 

considerations.

- Inappropriate performance in road

- Risk of explosion or removal of tire tread.

Wheels inflation pressure will depend on weight 

and speed of vehicle. Adjust inflation pressure 

according to use conditions.

- Pay attention that removal or inappropriate 

fastening of wheel air valve may cause inflation 

pressure deflation. Always make use of air valve 

similar to initial air valve and fasten it completely.

Tubeless tires

These kinds of tires shall be always 

installed on wheels without hub (FH), 

equipped with special air valve. Tubeless 

tires they shall not be at all installed on 

ordinary rings.

In case the tubeless tires are repaired or 

replaced, it is recommended to replace 

their air valve.

67

CAUTION

- Faulty tires are dangerous. Avoid 

driving with faulty, worn out, flat, or 

over inflated tires.

- Always make use of tires with radial 

design of the same type and same 

material for front and rear wheels of 

the vehicle. Do not make use of tires 

with cross designs. Your vehicle’s 

rims are tubeless, therefore, do not 

make use of tubed tires.

- Never drive with worn out, ruptured, 

rusty  and  not-adjusted  inflation 

tires.  Tires  with  insufficient  inflation 

pressures will rapidly wear out and will 

cause increase in fuel consumption 

and decrease in steering.

Tire wearing indicator

Tires installed on the vehicle have indicators 

which are located on several points of tire 

circumference between the treads. When 

just 1.6 mm of tires treads are remaining, it 

shows that tires are worn out. In this case, 

the indicators are emerged and tires shall be 

replaced in this time.

Tires inflation pressure

Tires  inflation  pressure  shall  be  checked 

once a month when the tires are cold. 

Insufficient  inflation  pressure  will  cause 

overheating and will reduce life of tire. 

Over inflation pressure will also have some 

negative effects on vehicle convenience and 

driving.

Vehicle front

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

Tires size

Size of your vehicle’s tire is inserted on its body 

like a phrase as following:

“R15 185/65”, of which “185” shows tire width 

in mm, “65” shows the ratio of height to tire 

width, “R” shows radial structure, and “15” 

shows ring diameter in inch.

Tires rotation in vehicle

In front-wheel vehicles, wearing of front tires is 

more than rear tires due to brake, drive, and 

steering wheel forces. Therefore, in order to 

balance the wearing of tires, it is recommended 

to relocate the tires after each 10,000 km 

travels.

Note 1: First rotation of tires is of high 

importance.

Note 2: Above method is not recommended for 

tires in which the rotation direction is important.

Front windshield snow wiper

Before applying snow wiper, remove the 

windshield ice by means of heater warmth.

In order to use the windshield washer, pull 

the snow wiper lever towards the steering 

wheel. It is better to take care that each time 

you  refill  the  windshield  washer  reservoir, 

wash its inside to avoid blockage of reservoir 

hole due to gathering of dust and dirt.

further, in winters, in order to avoid freezing 

of water inside the windshield washer 

reservoir, you can make use of Isopropanol 

solution.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

- If the snow wiper blades are stopped due to 

plenty of ice or snow, or their movement become 

slow, the snow wiper lever shall immediately be 

returned to initial position and power off its motor 

to avoid its failure. Then, you shall take action to 

remove ice and snow from beneath of the wiper 

blades.

Winter Measures

The  vehicle  has  approved  antifreeze  fluid 

at  time  of  delivery.  This  fluid  protects  the 

system up to -15 degrees centigrade 

(in some countries up to -35 degrees 

centigrade).  Whereas  the  antifreeze  fluid 

contains anti-boil and anti-corrosion, 

therefore, it is necessary for cooling system 

to have antifreeze fluid in all seasons of the 

year. check the level of antifreeze fluid and 

add fluid if necessary.

the following table shows the ratio of

Winter tires

Two types of tires can be used in winters:
1. Icebreaker tire: it is used in rear wheels.
2. Tire with wheel chain: wheel chain shall be 
used in rear wheels.

WARNING

In time of freezing, ensure that the snow 

wiper blades are not frozen (the risk of 

snow wiper motor overheating).

check the status of blades. When the 

performance of blades reduces, you shall 

replace them. (approximately once a year)

Regularly clean the vehicle’s front 

windshield.

In case before stopping the snow wipers 

(mode O) you power off the engine, the 

snow wiper blades will stop in their current 

position. After powering on the engine, it 

is enough to put the snow wiper level in 

O mode, you see the wipers blades will 

return to their stop mode.
