GENERAL INFORMATION  0B – 9

DAEWOO V–121 BL4

Fuel Micro–Filter Replacement

Replace the engine fuel filter every 48,000 km (30,000
miles).
The engine fuel filter is located on the center dash panel
near the brake booster.

Air Cleaner Element Replacement

Replace the air cleaner element every 48 000 km (30,000
miles).
Replace the air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.

Throttle Body Mounting Bolt Torque

Check the torque of the throttle body mounting bolts.
Tighten the throttle body mounting bolts to 17 N

S

m (13 lb–

ft) if necessary.

Spark Plug Replacement

Replace spark plugs with the same type.

– Type: AC Type FR8LDC4 (2.0L DOHC)
– Gap: 0.8 mm (0.031 in.) (2.0L DOHC)

Spark Plug Wire Replacement

Clean the wires and inspect them for burns, cracks, or oth-
er damage. Check the wire boot fit at the direct ignition
system (DIS) module and at the spark plugs. Replace the
wires, as needed.

Brake System Service

Check the disc brake pads or the drum brake linings every
9,600 km (6,000 mi) or 6 months. Check the pad and the
lining thickness carefully. If the pads or the linings are not
expected to last another 9,600 km (6,000 mi), replace the
pads or the linings. Check the breather hole in the brake
fluid reservoir cap to be sure it is free from dirt and the pas-
sage is open.

Transaxle Service

The manual transaxle fluid does not require changing. For
automatic transaxles, refer to ”Scheduled Maintenance
Charts”in this section.

Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation

Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To equalize
wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the tires. If irreg-
ular or premature wear exists, check the wheel alignment
and check for damaged wheels. While the tires and
wheels are removed, inspect the brakes. Refer to ”Each
Time The Oil Is Changed”in this section.

GENERAL INFORMATION

DAEWOO V–121 BL4

* Replacement or inspection of these emissions components is recommended to be performed at the indicated intervals
however, the California Air Resources Board has determined that performing thesemaintenance items are not required
to maintained your vehicle emission warranty.

OWNER INSPECTIONS AND

SERVICES

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE

Horn Operation

Blow the horn occasionally to make sure it works. Check
all the button locations.

Brake System Operation

Be alert for abnormal sounds, increased brake pedal trav-
el, or repeated pulling to one side when braking. Also, if the
brake warning light goes on or flashes, something may be
wrong with part of the brake system.

Exhaust System Operation

Be alert to any changes in the sound of the system or the
smell of the fumes. These are signs that the system may
be leaking or overheating. Have the system inspected and
repaired immediately.

Tires,Wheels and Alignment Operation

Be alert to any vibration of the steering wheel or the seats
at normal highway speeds. This may mean a wheel needs
to be balanced. Also, a pull to the right or the left on a
straight, level road may show the need for a tire pressure
adjustment or a wheel alignment.

Steering System Operation

Be alert to changes in the steering action. An inspection
is needed when the steering wheel is hard to turn, has too
much free play, or if unusual sounds are noticed when
turning or parking.

Headlamp Aim

Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the
headlamps if the beams seem improperly aimed.

AT EACH FUEL FILL

A fluid loss in any (except windshield washer) system may
indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and re-
paired immediately.

Engine Oil Level

Check the oil level and add oil, if necessary. The best time
to check the engine oil level is when the oil is warm.

1.  After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for

the oil to drain back to the oil pan.

2.  Pull out the oil level indicator (dipstick).
3.  Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back

down all the way.

4.  Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil lev-

el on it.

5.  Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the

MIN line and within the area labeled ”Operating
Range.” Avoid overfilling the engine, since this may
cause engine damage.

6.  Push the indicator all the way back down into the

engine after taking the reading.

If checking the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the
engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast
enough to give a true oil level reading.

Engine Coolant Level and Condition

Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank and
add coolant, if necessary. Inspect the coolant. Replace
dirty or rusty coolant.

Windshield Washer Fluid Level

Check the washer fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid, if
necessary.

AT LEAST MONTHLY

Tire and Wheel Inspection and Pressure
Check

Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. Also, check
for damaged wheels. Check the tire pressure when the
tires are cold (check the spare tire, unless it is a stow-
away). Maintain the recommended pressures that are on
the tire placard that is on the driver’s side door.

Lamp Operation

Check the operation of the license plate lamp, the head-
lamps (including the high beams), the parking lamps, the
fog lamps, the taillamp, the brake lamps, the turn signals,
the backup lamps, and the hazardwarning flasher.

Fluid Leak Check

Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for
water, oil, fuel or other fluids, after the vehicle has been
parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal. If you notice fuel leaks or
fumes, find the cause and correct it immediately.

AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR

Power Steering System Reservoir Level

Check the power steering fluid level. Keep the power
steering fluid at the proper level. Refer to Section 6A, Pow-
er Steering System.

Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Level

Check the fluid and keep it at the proper level. A low fluid
level can indicate worn disc brake pads andmay need to
be serviced. Check the breather hole in the reservoir cover
that it is free from dirt and check for an open passage.

Clutch Pedal Free Travel

Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust, as necessary,
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles). Measure the distance
from the center of the clutch pedal to the outer edge of the
