Recommended Fuel - SSANGYONG NEW CHAIRMAN Owner's Manual

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pre-ignition
(detonation), severe engine knocking, poor acceleration and
poor fuel consumption. Ssangyong can not be held liable for
resultant damage.
CAUTION
There are various types of gasoline with different octane ratings.
There are also some low-quality gasoline types whose octane
number is not specified. Never use low-quality gasoline; doing so
may cause drops in power, waste fuel, produce excessive ex-
haust gas and severe vibration.
Do not add any additive into the fuel tank. Using non-prescribed
fuel additives could severely damage the vehicle. Ssangyong can-
not be held liable for such damage.
Using fuel with inappropriate grade or pouring improper fuel addi-
tives into the fuel tank may seriously damage the engine and cata-
lytic converter. Use only the recommended unleaded gasoline.
Knocking
Knocking occurs when the fuel is incompletely burned due to pre-
mature or abnormal combustion in a spark-ignition internal combus-
tion engine. If this happens, the pinging sound, abnormal vibration or
a drop in power may occur.
Octane Number
The octane number is a rating of a gasoline that indicates its pro-
pensity to cause knocking, i.e. anti-knocking.
A fuel with a high octane number exhibits better resistance to knock-
ing and has fine combustion. Engines that have been designed to
have higher efficiencies and power outputs require gasoline with a
high octane number.

CAUTION
For correct octane rating setting and other use of gasoline (ex.
Leaded), consult your Ssangyong Dealer.
CAUTION
Engine and exhaust system will be damaged.
Do not use leaded fuel to the vehicle for unleaded fuel.
Use the fuel with specified or higher Research Octane Number
recommended for your country by Ssangyong.
It is not covered by warranty.
WARNING
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable.
It burns violently and that can cause very bad injuries.
When refueling,
Switch off engine.
No smoking.
No naked flame.
No sparking material.
CAUTION
Gasoline damages paintwork.
If gasoline spills onto paintwork wash with cold water immediately.
