CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE UNDER 0°C (32°F)
CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE UNDER
0°C (32°F)
During the winter, undesirable road conditions frequently
happen. Therefore, appropriate preparations for emergen-
cies should occur.
Before driving in suburban or rural areas, or on a snowing
day, have bags of sand, snow chains, a shovel, gloves, and
old clothes in your vehicle.
Coolant
Before it gets cold, check the coolant level.
The conventional coolant is the 50:50 mixture of water and
antifreeze.
If only water has been added into the coolant reservoir, the
engine and the cooling system of your vehicle may seriously
be damaged when the water freezes as it gets below the
freezing point.
CAUTION
• When the vehicle is shipped, the cooling system is filled with a
four-season coolant.
• Before adding or refilling coolant, ensure that the coolant is a
50:50 mixture of water and antifreeze.
• Use only Ssangyong genuine coolant.
Washer Fluid
Use a genuine coolant that does not freeze on a cold day.
When non-recommended washer liquid is used, the liquid
may form an ice. This will damage the wiper motor and
hinder your safe driving.

Engine Oil
When the vehicle is shipped, the engine is filled with four-
season engine oil.
Tires
Snow tires are more desirable on an icy or snow-covered
road. Have snow tires installed on your vehicle before driv-
ing on such a road.
CAUTION
• When snow tires are installed, drive your vehicle at a lower
speed than normal.
• Install snow chains correctly. Otherwise, the chains may dam-
age the wheelhouses or the body of your vehicle.
Air Conditioner
When the air conditioner has not been used for an extended
period of time, internal packing systems may become hard
because the lubricating system has not worked for a pro-
longed amount of time. As a result, the refrigerant may leak
or rusting may happen to the system. Malfunction of the air
conditioner may result.
To maintain its optimal operating condition, it is recom-
mended that the air conditioner be turned on for approxi-
mately 5 to 10 minutes every week throughout all seasons.
CAUTION
Do not remove the refrigerant in the winter, even though you do
not use the air conditioner.
