Inspect & ADJUST when abnormal condition is noted

GENERAL INFORMATION  0B-11

SSANGYONG  Y158

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
travel or repeated puling 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 right or 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 or has
too much free play, or is unusual sounds are noticed
when turning or parking.

Headlight Aim

Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the
headlights 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
repaired 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 (dip stick).

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 level

on it.

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

lower mark.  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 you check 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 TWICE A MONTH

Tire And Wheel Inspection and Pressure
Check

Check the tire for abnormal wear or damage. Also check
for damaged wheels. Check the tire pressure when the
tires are cold (check the spare also, unless it is a
stowaway).

Maintain the recommended pressures. Refer to “Tire
and Wheel” is in section 0B.

AT LEAST MONTHLY

Light Operation

Check the operation of the license plate light, the
headlights (including the high beams), the parking lights,
the fog lights, the taillight, the brake lights, the turn
signals, the backup lights and the hazard warning 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 at once.

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,
Power 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 which may
need to be serviced. Check the breather hole in the
reservoir cover to be free from dirt and check for an open
passage.

Weather-Strip Lubrication

Apply a thin film silicone grease using a clean cloth.

OWNER INSPECTIONS AND SERVICES

0B-12  GENERAL INFORMATION

SSANGYONG  Y158

EACH TIME THE OIL IS CHANGED

Brake System Inspection

This inspection should be done when the wheels are
removed for rotation. Inspect the lines and the hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Inspect the disc brake pads for wear. Inspect the rotors
for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, the
parking brake, etc., at the same time. Inspect the brakes
more often if habit or conditions result in frequent braking.

Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle
Boot And Seal Inspection

Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of
wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering
line and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle
boot and seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace
the seals if necessary.

Exhaust System Inspection

Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic
converter if equipped). Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or out-of-
position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose
connections, or other conditions which could cause heat
buildup in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep
into the trunk or passenger compartment.

Throttle Linkage Inspection

Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
damaged, or missing parts. Lubricate all linkage joints
and throttle cable joints, the intermediate throttle shaft
bearing, the return spring at throttle valve assembly, and
the accelerator pedal sliding face with suitable grease.
Check the throttle cable for free movements.

Engine Drive Belts

Inspect all belts for cracks, fraying, wear and proper
tension. Adjust or replace the belts as needed.

Hood Latch Operation

When opening the hood, note the operation of the
secondary latch. It should keep the hood from opening
all the way when the primary latch is released. The hood
must close firmly.

AT LEAST ANNUALLY

Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and
Operation

Inspect the belt system including: the webbing, the
buckles, the latch plates, the retractor, the guide loops
and the anchors.

Movable Head Restraint Operation

On vehicles with movable head restraints, the restraints
must stay in the desired position.

Spare Tire and Jack Storage

Be alert to rattles in the rear of the vehicle. The spare
tire, all the jacking equipment, and the tools must be
securely stowed at all times. Oil the jack ratchet or the
screw mechanism after each use.

Key Lock Service

Lubricate the key lock cylinder.

Body Lubrication Service

Lubricate all the body door hinges including the hood,
the fuel door, the rear compartment hinges and the
latches, the glove box and the console doors, and any
folding seat hardware.

Underbody Flushing

Flushing the underbody will remove any corrosive
materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control.
At least every spring clean the underbody. First, loosen
the sediment packed in closed areas of the vehicle. Then
flush the underbody with plain water.

Engine Cooling System

Inspect the coolant and freeze protection fluid. If the
fluid is dirty or rusty, drain, flush and refill the engine
cooling system with new coolant. Keep the coolant at
the proper mixture in order to ensure proper freeze
protection, corrosion protection and engine operating
temperature. Inspect the hoses. Replace the cracked,
swollen, or deteriorated hoses. Tighten the clamps. Clean
the outside of the radiator and the air conditioning
condenser. Wash the filler cap and the neck. Pressure
test the cooling system and the cap in order to help
ensure proper operation.
