3. ENGINE COMPARTMENT LAYOUT
Do not work on the engine compartment while the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, muffler or
catalytic converter is hot. Always turn the engine off and allow it to cool before starting the
maintenance.
Regularly check the engine oil level and add Ssangyong genuine engine oil if necessary.
Clean the dipstick with clean cloth so that any foreign materials cannot get into the engine. -

Operating vehicle with insuffi cient amount of oil can damage the engine. Make sure the engine
oil level is correct and add oil if necessary.

Oil Level Check ▶
Check the fluid level on a level ground with the
engine turned off. The fluid level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir cap gauge.
Place the vehicle on a level ground and start
the engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).
Place the steering wheel at straight ahead
direction.
Check the oil level in the power steering oil
reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX
and MIN. A.

Oil Change ▶
If the difference between two measurements
is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX
and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm,
bleed air from the system.
Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain
the fluid completely with oil suction device.
To make it easy, turn the steering wheel to
its both ends several times.
Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir

1. OVERVIEW
The power steering has been designed to make the wheel move more easily than in a manual steering
system. The hydraulic power assists the process utilizing hydraulic fluid. The fluid increases pressure
in the power steering pump and aids the movement of the steering mechanism. The power steering
system consists of pump, oil reservoir, rack and gear box. The power steering pump is a vane type
and delivers hydraulic pressure to operate the power steering system. The pressure relief valve in the
pump controls the discharging pressure. The rotary valve in the rack and the pinion gear directs the oil
from the power steering pump to one side of the rack piston. The integrated rack piston converts the
hydraulic pressure to linear movement. The operating force of the rack moves the wheels through the
tie rod, the tie rod end and the steering knuckle. Even though the hydraulic pressure cannot be
generated, a driver can steer the vehicle without power assist but it needs very high steering force. In
this case, the operating force of the steering wheel is conveyed to the pinion, and the movement of the
pinion moves the rack through the pinion gear combined to the rack gear.
