washing fluid to see if there is any leaking.
d. Inspect if brake pedal, clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, transmission shifter, steering wheel, choke are
loose or stuck. The free travel of clutch pedal is 5~15mm, the free travel of brake pedal is 1~6mm and
the free play of steering wheel is less than 30mm(measurement point at margin of steering wheel). if it
is out of this normal range, the clutch needs to be tuned.
e. Inspect if the connection of battery, lamps and signal lights are normal, and if the wire routing and
position are correct and not loose.
f. Inspect if the tire pressure is correct.
(2) On-road inspection If the inspection result of the above items is good, start the engine and test the car on
road, and perform the following inspections.
a. Acceleration pedal, see if the operation is smooth and if it is loose.
b. Clutch, see if there is any stuck or abnormal noise, and slip when driving.
c. Transmission,check if shifting is smooth,or rough and wrong shifting.Inspect if the display of A/T
shift lever is normal.
d. Steering, check if steering is light and smooth, and if the steering wheel turns back after steering.
e. Brake pedal, apply brake pedal to check if the braking functions well when vehicle speed is at
40km/h and if the vehicle runs off track.
f. Park brake, when parking brake handler is pulled, there should be 6~9 clicking sounds. Pull park brake
when vehicle is running at the speed of 20km/h and transmission is at neutral gear to see if it brakes.
g. Vehicle speed meter, observe the vehicle speed meter while driving. When speed changes, check if the
indicator is moving steadily or shakes.
h. Heating and air-conditioning.Try every control button to see if both heating and cooling system work
well.
i. Abnormal noise, listen carefully to see if there is any abnormal noise from engine, drive line system or
any other parts of the vehicle at a steady speed and during accelerating, and decelerating.
(3) Inspection after test ride check if there is anything abnormal in the vehicle while driving and conduct the
following inspections after the vehicle is parked.
a. Check electrical fan When engine coolant temperature is beyond 92.5°C, the radiator fan should be
running; When A/C is on and the pressure of refrigerant is more than 1.5 cooling ton, air conditioning
cooling fan should be running.
b. Check headlamp, method: park the car 5m away from the inspection surface (inspection board, curtain,
or wall) to the front bumper, and check if the beam from headlamp is good. The upper level if headlamp
should be 540mm above the ground, and the distance between headlamps on the two sides is 900mm.
c. Inspect engine idle speed,idle speed of hot engine is 800r/min±50r/min,when A/C compressor works,
the idle speed should be 900r/min±50r/min. If idle speed is abnormal, adjust the idle speed adjust
ment screw to adjust it.
(4) Usage of new cars in breaking-in period Follow the instructions below in the first 1500~2500km breaking
mileage to avoid wear and abnormal damage in breaking-in period, and to improve vehicle performance, fuel
economy and to extend vehicle useful life.
a. Drive steadily during breaking-in; do not accelerate harshly to avoid running engine at high speed.
Engine should not exceed 4500r/min in any gears. Especially at the early stage of breaking-in, vehicleUsage and Maintenance of MK Series - Usage of MK Series

2-10 must be running at medium speed without load. Increase the speed and load gradually with the
accumulation of breaking-in mileage.
b. Because the brake plat is not broken in on a new vehicle,in order to ensure safety and reduce wear,avoid
harsh brake, and brake for multiple times to break in the brake plate faster.
c. It is better to avoid driving vehicle on steep roads or in bad conditions during breaking-in period.
d. Pay special attention to engine coolant temperature meter and oil pressure meter.Check engine oil level
frequently and make sure engine works in normal temperature and good lubrication.
e. Maintain the vehicle strictly according to first-time maintenance requirements to bring the vehicle into
normal usage life under good condition.
7.vehicle towing
There are towing facilities both in the front and rear end of MK-1 sedan for towing other vehicles and being towed.
To ensure safety, pay attention to the following instructions when towing.
(1) Towing car Towing car should be started and shifted steadily.The speed should be no more than 40km/h.
(2) Follow the instructions below when being towed:
a. Steering system of the vehicle being towed works well.
b. Braking system of the vehicle being towed works well or it cannot be towed with a rope and must be
towed with the towing shaft instead.
c. Release park brake and shift the transmission to neutral gear when the vehicle is being towed.
d. Turn the ignition switch to ACC to allow turning signal lights,braking indicator to be turned on when
necessary.
e. The towing rope must be tensioned in the towing process.
f. If the purpose of towing is to start the engine, shift the transmission to the 2nd or 3rd gear to increase
engine speed. It is good for starting the engine.
8. Instructions to save fuel when using the vehicle
(1) Reasonable load Do not store useless articles in luggage compartment because they consumes fuel for
nothing.
(2) Correct driving style Instructions as follows:
a. When engine is started, do not heat it but press the accelerator pedal slightly, drive the vehicle slowly
and accelerate gradually.
b. Shift to higher gears when driving to allow the engine to work at appropriate engine speed and avoid
running the engine at low or high speed. The engine speed should be higher than 2500r/min when
driving, and higher than 3000r/min when up-shifting.
c. Keep the vehicle speed stable, and avoid harsh acceleration and frequent braking.
d. Pay attention to vehicle speed. Drive at high speed results in excessive fuel consumption.
(3) Organize vehicle usage well Pay attention to the following two instructions.
a. Organize vehicle usage time and avoid short trips. Because at the beginning when the vehicle is started
(around 1km), the engine has not reached its efficiency point, and the fuel consumption doubles
compared to regular.
b. Select a good driving route, avoid driving through the city or blocks with heavy traffic.
(4) Keep the vehicle under good work condition Strictly follow instructions to maintain the vehicle to make
sure the vehicle is under good technical working condition, and inspect and replace key parts that affect vehicle
fuel consumptions. For example:Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Usage of MK Series

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.

separation board that are exposed to sun.
8. Maintenance of body exterior
Body exterior is to keep body cleanness and brightness to give the impression of beauty and comfort, and to avoid
rust and abnormal paint peeling off. The key points of body maintenances are:
(1) Wash body using the method below:
a. Wash the dirty things off the body by pressurized water, and then clean the body with
soft cloth of sponge from up to down.
b. Dry body surface with good white cloth. Apply brake pedal several times when driving
after the car is washed to get rid of water in braking system.
c. Do not wipe the body when it is dry. Do not clean paint surface and glass with gasoline,
coal oil, narkosid, strong lye or alcohol.
(2) Cleaning windshield glass
Do not use silicon-bronze radical products. To get better cleaning effects, use special glass cleanser.
(3) Cleaning asphalt on the body
Do not peel the asphalt off from body or bumper, but use special cleanser
(4) Paint
Scratches or slight damages can be fixed with special paint spray. It dries in the air.
(5) Cleaning exterior decoration parts and aluminum parts. Wash with water with soap fluid or cleanser, and wash with clean water. To keep the gloss of painted surface,
wax on the surface after it is dry. (6) Polish and wax the body paint polishing and waxing keeps the body bright and pretty, and protects the paint
as well.
a. Polish in winter. Make sure the vehicle body is absolutely clean and dry before
polishing, polish with fluid or milky wax.
b. Vehicle body must be absolutely dry and clean before waxing. Use waxing tools (soft
table tissue or smooth cotton cloth) to cover the body paint surface evenly with wax.
Check if the vehicle body is covered by wax: spray some water onto the paint surface,
if water drops are formed, that surface is waxed, otherwise, clean the surface and wax
it again. Attention: do not wax under sun, or in cold weather.
Attention
1) When using high pressure washing machine, do not point the washing sprayer to transmission, steering
mechanism and other rubber protection parts, or exterior decoration parts, roof welding lines, heat radiator
or engine compartment.
2) The bottom of vehicle body is made of anti-corrosion material,and has been through anti-corrosion process.
After the vehicle has been running frequently on roads de-frozen with salt for some time, clean engine
compartment and lower part of vehicle body and take some protection actions.Usage and Maintenance of MK Series - Daily Maintenance of MK Sedan
