2-12Section 2 Maintenance Category and Content of MK SedanAs the vehicle is being used, its technical performance changes as the mileage accumulates and being affected by
various factors, which results in decrease of power, fuel economy, safety, and increase of emission pollutions,
noise and incidents. So timely maintenance during vehicle usage eliminates potential risks and prevents incidents
from happening, improves vehicle integrity and technical functionality, and prolongs useful life of the vehicle.
According to the vehicle technical requirements and usage history, maintenance of freedom Cruiser sedan can be
classified into several categories.I. first time maintenanceFirst time maintenance is also called breaking-in maintenance. It is performed when the vehicle mileage has
accumulated to 1500~2500km in breaking-in period. First time maintenance must be conducted at the appointed
service shops. It includes:
1. Check if there is any leak in engine, transmission, and differential. Fix if there is any.
2. Replace engine oil filter, engine oil and ATF for A/T.
3. Check the level of engine coolant, braking fluid, windshield washing fluid, power steering fluid and if there
is any leak. Refill if the level is too low and repair if there is any leak.
4. Check if there is any damage in triangle arm and ball joint, connection ball joint, triangle arm flexible hinge,
or the ball joint is loose. If there is, fix or replace it.
5. Check if the drive shaft dust cover is damaged. If there is, replace it.
6. Check if there is any leak in steering mechanism, or front and rear absorber and fix it there is any.
7. Check the tire pressure, front 230kpa, and rear 210kpa.II. Regular maintenanceAfter first time maintenance, the vehicle is in regular usage life. During regular use, the vehicle needs to be
maintained regularly according to the way it is used in.
1.Regular maintenance for vehicles used under extreme bad conditions. Any of the condition below is defined
as extreme bad condition:
(1) Frequent start.
(2) Often drive the vehicle in dusty circumstances.
(3) Drive the vehicle in hot areas (such as in summer in the south).
(4) Often drive in cold areas (often runs short trips, engine temperate cannot reach regular work temperature).
Vehicles ran under extreme bad conditions need to be maintained every 5000km.
2. Regular maintenance for vehicles Vehicles that have not been through extreme bad conditions need to be
maintained every 7500km.
Regular maintenance is required to be performed at Geely service shop, too.
List of parts that need to be replaced regularly is in table 1.
Maintenance timetable is in table2.III. Geely maintenance programGeely recommends following Geely maintenance program.
The intervals of maintenance schedules are determined by mileage meter or time periods. Maintain the vehicle
when either meets the schedule. For details, please refer to the schedule.Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Maintenance Category and Content of MK Sedan
