battery SSANGYONG KORANDO 2013 Owner's Manual

0000-00
3) General Instructions
Before lifting up the vehicle with a lift, correctly support the lifting points.
When using a jack, park the vehicle on a level ground and place the wheel chocks under the tires.
Position the jack under the frame and lift up the vehicle and then support with chassis stand before
service work.
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to electric
systems.
If you have to work on vehicle, cover the seats and floor with protection covers to avoid any
damage and contamination.
Brake fluid and anti-freeze can damage the painted surface of body. So carefully handle them
during service work.
To improve the efficiency of service work, use only recommended and specified tools.
Use only Ssangyong genuine spare parts.
Never reuse the cotter pin, gasket, O-ring, oil seal, lock washer and self-locking nut. Replace them
with new ones. If reused, normal functions cannot be maintained.
Store the disassembled parts as a set based on disassembly order and unit.
Pay particular attention not to miss or mix the fasteners.
If necessary, especially for inspection, clean the removed parts completely.
Apply the oil or grease on the running and sliding surfeces before installation. Use the specified
sealant and gasket to prevent leakage if necessary.
Tighten the fasteners to the specified tightening torque.
As a final stage of service work, check if the serviced system is working properly and the problem
has been eliminated clearly. (1)

2) Equipment
Korando is FF (Front Engine Front Drive) type vehicle, and engine and powertrain system are
integrated into a module. Therefore, 2-post lift and general equipment are necessary when working
on the engine and transmission.
Major equipment: Engine and transmission jack, Engine stand, Engine crane, Transmission jack,
Engine hanger -

5) Guidelines on Engine Service
(1) Cautions before service works
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to electric
systems.
Make sure to clean the working area and to prepare the necessary tools before service works.
Always place the ignition switch to OFF position if not required. Otherwise, there could be unexpected
damage to electric devices or personal injuries due to short-circuit.
To prevent the foreign material from entering into the fuel injection system, completely seal the inlets o
f
HP pump, fuel hoses and high pressure pipes.
To remoev the engine, use the dedicated equipments such as engine jack, transmission jack, engine
stand and engine crane. -
-
-
-
-
(2) Engine and accessories
When disassembling the engine, related parts (bolts, gaskets, etc.) should be stored as a set.
Clean the components completely with engine oil before assembling if needed.
Fully drain the engine oil, coolant and fuel from the vehicle and seal the inlets with the plugs before
removing the engine.
All the interference should be eliminated before removing the engine. -
-
-
- To prevent the personal injuries and vehicle damages that can be caused by mistakes during service
and to provide the optimized performance and safety after service works, the service technicials must
keep the basic cautions and service guidelines below. These could be easily forgotten during service
works.
Engine has a lot of precise components. The specified tightening torque and correct procedures should
be kept during service works. And, the working area is always clean and well prepared.
To prevent any damage to electric systems, make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the
battery and place the ignition switch to OFF position before servicing.
Use only the specified parts with same ratings when replacing the electric devices. Check the
grounds and connections for looseness. -
-
(3) Electric devices
Extraordinary care should be taken when servicing the electric systems. Currently, the engine uses a lot
of electric devices. Short circuit and poor contact may cause the low engine performance, incomplete
combustion and other abnormalities.
When working with the fuel or oil systems in enclosed area, always keep the working area well-
ventilated and never allow anybody to smoke.
Gaskets and seals on the fuel and oil systems should be replaced with new ones. All bolts and nuts
should be tightened as specified.
Make sure to check the connections for leak after installation. -

3. GUIDELINES ON ENGINE SERVICE
G20DF engine is for FF (Front Engine Front Drive) type vehicle. Therefore, there are some deferent
maintenance and repair works compared to the engine for FR (Front Engine Rear Drive) type vehicle.
For safe and correct works, you must observe the working procedures and instructions in this manual.
And, use the designated tools as follow:
: Power train mounting stand / Engine hanger / Engine stand / Heavy duty engine jack.
Cautions before service works
G20DF engine is FF (Front Engine Front Drive) type engine, and the engine and transmission are
integrated in a same module. Remember that there are many differences compared to
conventional engine in FR (Front Engine Rear Drive) type SUV vehicle.
To remove the engine, use the dedicated equipments such as engine jack, transmission jack,
engine stand and engine crane (1 ton).
To prevent the engine from abruptly starting during service in engine compartment, never allow
anybody to stay in the vehicle.
Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent any damage to electric
systems.
Make sure to clean the working area and to prepare the necessary tools before service works.
Always place the ignition switch to OFF position if not required. Otherwise, there could be
unexpected damage to electric devices or personal injuries due to short-circuit..
To prevent the foreign material from entering into the fuel injection system, completely seal the
inlets of HP pump, fuel hoses and high pressure pipes.
Do not remove the engine while supporting the oil pan with a jack. -

-
Lifting up the vehicle
Before lifting up the vehicle with a lift, correctly support the lifting points.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling down, put the chocks under the tires (when using a 4-post lift).
Make sure to support the correct lifting points (when using a 2-post lift). -
-
-

Fuel and engine oil system
The engine oil and fuel damages the painted surfaces and rubber material of the vehicle.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery before servicing the fuel system, and prepare the
service plug grip.
When working with the fuel or oil systems in enclosed area, always keep the working area well-
ventilated and never allow anybody to smoke.
Do not allow the gasoline to contact to rubber or leather parts.
Carefully separate the pipe between high pressure fuel pump and fuel injector so that any fuel can
be spilled out.
Fully release the pressure from the fuel system before removing any parts of fuel system.
To release the fuel pressure in high pressure line, let the engine fully cool down.
Gaskets and seals on the fuel and oil systems should be replaced with new ones. All bolts and nuts
should be tightened as specified.
Prolonged exposure to the engine oil make cause a skin cancer or an irritation.
Used engine cotains the hazardous material that may cause the skin cancer. Do not allow the used
engine to make contact with your skin.
Make sure to wear the protection gloves and goggle when handling the engine oil. If contact
happens, rinse affected areas immediately with plenty of water. Do not wash it with gasoline or
solvent. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Improperly disposed engine oil can pollute the environment. Dispose the used engine oil and oil
filter in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Make sure to check the connections for leak after installation. -

How to use battery tester
Determine battery capacity by fixing current
(load capacity) and time and varying voltage.
Determine battery capacity based on the
amount of voltage drop when discharging a
fixed load capacity (120 A) for 5 seconds.
Connect the tester to the battery and read the
display while applying a load for 5 seconds. -
