CAUTION
• Check the level of the engine oil and every fluid including coolant
daily. If you drive while the fluid levels are low, your vehicle can
be damaged and such damages will not be covered by warranty.
• Use only the genuine Ssangyong oils and fluids.
• Do not allow oils and coolant to make contact with skin or painted
surfaces during inspection or refill of them. They can also dam-
age paint finish. If skin contact happens, rinse affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and then consult a doctor.
• Do not overfill the oil or coolant, otherwise, the engine and
transmission may be damaged. Maintain the specified level.
• The performance of oils and coolant may be deteriorated when
they are exposed to dust and moisture. Be careful not to al-
low contact with dust while refilling.
• In spite of very limited driving of your vehicle, oils and other
fluids can disappear over the time. Therefore, check their lev-
els frequently.
• Improperly disposed engine oil and/or other fluids can pollute
the environment. Dispose used fluids in accordance with lo-
cal environmental regulations.
