2-85. Actions to ensure vehicle working condition and safe driving.
(1) To make sure of driving safety, execute the following inspections before driving.
a. Inspect fuel level, and add fuel when necessary.
b. Inspect illuminating lights, turning signal lights, braking signal lights to see if they work.
c.Check the position of rearview mirrors.
d.Check if breaking system functions well.
e.Check if glass of all the lights, windshield is clean.
(2) Regular inspection Perform the following regular inspections to ensure the vehicle work condition and
driving safety.
a. Check engine oil level. Park the vehicle on flat road; check the oil level with engine oil level indicator
at least 10 minutes after the engine is stopped. The oil level should be between the two marks. If it is
lower than "L" mark, add some oil; if it is higher than "F" mark, there is excessive oil, so release it.
Or investigate the cause of high oil level.
The volume between the lowest oil level ("L") and highest oil level ("F") is 1.4L.
b. Check engine coolant level. Check the level when the engine is cool. The coolant level should be between
LOW and FULL. If it is lower than "LOW", add coolant. If the coolant is much lower than Min (every
coolant fill is more than 1L) or the vehicle requires frequent fills,investigate if there is any problem with
the cooling system.
To keep the function of coolant, replace coolant every two years at the beginning of cold winter.
c. Check brake and clutch fluid level (sharing a reservoir). Brake fluid level should between the Max and
Min marks. And it is better to keep it close to the Max mark. Add fluid in time when there is not enough
fluid.
d. Check power steering fluid tank. The level should be between Max and Min marks. Refill when there
is not enough steering fluid to avoid pump stuck. It is strictly prohibited to run the vehicle without
steering fluid in any circumstances.
e. Check the charging status of battery and if the connection of battery wires is good.
f. Check tire status and pressure
g. Check the status of wipers.
(3) Observe warning lights and indicators on instrument panel.
a. There are various warning lights and indicators on the instrument panel of MK-1 sedans to indicate and
warn abnormal operations of engine, braking, and charging systems.
b. Pay attention to these lights when driving.When the warning lights or indicators are on,stop the vehicle,
check the vehicle and resolve the causes to make sure the vehicle works well or drives safely.
6. Correct ways to use new cars
Reliability and stability of components in new cars and recently repaired cars still need to be confirmed, and
relative parts are not broken-in, so they must be used carefully to ensure driving safety, to avoid abnormal damage,
and to extend the useful life of the car.
(1) Before driving inspection The following inspections must be performed on the new car to ensure car safety
and reliable operation:
a. Check if instrument panel, warning lights, and indicator, front and rear wiper and washer, and switches
work.
b. Check if the fastening of driveline, steering, suspension, wheels and other connection parts is good.Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Usage of MK Series

3. Remove starter and 2 cooling hoses.
4. Disconnect neutral switch connector and odometer sensor.
5. Loosen the drain screw under the housing to bleed ATF and tighten the drain screw with sealing glue when
assembling. Tightening torque is 29~35N.m
6. Loosen the locking bolt for select lever cable.
7. Remove Drive Shaft LH&RH, using plastic stopper in the oil sealing of differential.
8. Detach suspension bolts.
9. Separate transmission from engine after bolts between engine and transmission remove.II. Automatic Transmission Installation1. Check whether torque converter of the transmission is in the right position, the methods as follows:
Check whether the distance from 3 anchor point of torque converter to front contact face of the transmission
box A 28mm , If the space A<28 mm, try install again. The way to install is that left hand catch hold of the
central anchor column of the converter and make it in alignment with input shaft as near as possible, push the torque
converter in rotating way by right hand until it gets to the bottom to meet the requirement of A 28 mm. (See
figure 7-1 and 2)
2. Install Flexibility plate and central plate on the crankshaft end face with 6 bolts in the direction of Figure 2.
Tightening torque is 45~55 N.m. Turn the longer hole of the Flexibility plate to the lowest of the engine position
in order to connect torque converter.Section 2 Hydraulic Torque Converter and TransaxleAutomatic Transaxle Assembly Hydraulic Torque Converter and Transaxle3-30 -

Figure 7-3Automatic Transaxle Assembly Hydraulic Torque Converter and Transaxle3-31Figure 7-5 Figure 7-4Figure 7-1
Figure 7-23. Install transmission in the engine, its way like manual transmission. The torque converter cannot be allowed to
move in axial motion during operating (The dimension of A keeps constant). Install starter in the transmission
housing.
4. Connect Flexibility plate with torque converter, using 3 special bolts. The way is as follows. First, assemble one
bolt in the torque converter by the longer hole of the Flexibility plate, and then rotate engine belt pulley to install
the other bolts, finally use torque spanner to tighten the bolts. Tightening torque is 40~50N.m.
5. Install suspension bolt and drive shaft LH&RH, the assembling way like manual transmission.
6. Connect two cooling pipes as showed in the figure 7-3 with the corresponding pipe of transmission with clip.
7. Connect the cable between bracket of throttle and transmission actuator.
8. Throttle valve cable adjustment as follows:
First, use pliers to clip the hexangular position under throttle valve cable.Turn 60°~90°counterclockwise,
and lift throttle valve cable to make throttle valve cable adjustable move to top position, and then turn back
60°~90° clockwise, meanwhile, make it lock (See figure 7-4). Finally put accelerator pedal to end position.
When throttle valve makes "ka-ka" sound, the distance under the throttle valve should meet B=2~8mm. If not,
try again until the gap B=2~8mm under the throttle valve (see figure 7-5), if gap B=2-8mm, throttle valve cable
adjustment is finished.Central
