Severe Conditions
• When most trips are less than 6km.

remain below freezing and when most
trips are less than 16km.

and/or frequent low-speed operation as
in stop-and-go traffic.
• When operating in dusty areas.
• Towing a trailer.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
Engine oil changes are to be carried out
depending on time intervals and mileage in-
tervals, since oil loses its lubrication prop-
erties not only through engine operation but
also through ageing.
Under exceptional conditions e.g. frequent
cold starts or predominantly urban traffic and
stop-and-go traffic, the engine oil and en-
gine oil filter should be changed at shorter
intervals rather than the recommended main-
tenance schedule.
Engine oil filter elements should be replaced
at the same time with engine oil.
WARNING
Used engine oil and their containers
can be a hazard to health and the
environment.
• Do not dispose of used engine oil
in household refuse waste.
•
Use your local authorized waste
disposal facilities when disposing
of used engine oil.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID*
To ensure proper functioning, efficiency and
durability of the automatic transmission, it is
of the utmost importance that the fluid is al-
ways kept at the proper level.
The automatic transmission does not have
a dipstick to check the fluid level. You may
have the fluid level checked by your
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized
Service Operation.
The only way to find out fluid level decrease
is to check if the automatic transmission is
leaking.
If a fluid leak occurs the vehicle should be
taken to your Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation to
be repaired as soon as possible.
Fluid should not be added to the automatic
transmission without properly setting the
fluid level. Overfilling the automatic transmis-
sion fluid will decrease the automatic trans-
mission performance and could damage the
unit.
Use only specified fluid as given in the lu-
bricant chart.
CAUTION
Check for oil leakage after chang-
ing oil and fiter.
