CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH*

CRUISE CONTROL* Setting a Desired Speed
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that maintains

a desired driving speed without using the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle speed must be greater than 36 km/h to engage cruise
control. This feature is especially useful for motorway driving. 1. To operate the cruise control, accelerate to your de-
sired speed using the acceleration pedal more over 36
CAUTION km/h.
Improper use of cruise control could be dangerous.
2. When the desired speed is reached, push up the

This could result in a loss of control, collision, and/or personal injuries. slowly.
3. Now, the vehicle is cruised by this system with set
speed.
4. And you can set to other vehicle speed again with above
steps after acceleration pedal intervention during cruise
control running.

Recovery of Set Speed Normal Cancellation of Cruise Control

The cruise control system will be canceled when one or more items
of the following conditions is applied;
1. When the brake pedal is depressed.

2. When the cruising speed is downed less than 34 km/h.
3. When the off switch is operated by pulling rearward the cruise
control lever.
4. When ABD is activated.
And the cruise control system can be operated again in driving

state.
CAUTION
Keep the main cruise control switch as neutral position when not using the
cruise control.
Even if the cruise control is canceled, the previous set

cruise speed can be recovered by pushing toward the
RSM (resume) switch of a cruise control lever when the
current vehicle speed is higher than 36 km/h without ac-
celeration intervention. But if you turn off the ignition
switch, the memorized set speed is cleared and you can-
not recover the previous set speed.
CAUTION
The resume position should only be used if the driver is fully aware
of this speed and wishes to resume this particular speed.

turn off the ignition switch and then turn it on again. After you
do that, you can use the cruise control system again. But if
the cruise control system isn’t recovered, you should contact
Ssangyong Dealer for diagnosis of the cruise control system.
CAUTION
Abnormal changes of the selector lever can damage the engine.
Do not move the shift lever to Neural while driving at the set speed.
Automatic transmission damage may result.
CAUTION
• The speed that has been set may not be maintained on uphill or down-
hill slopes.
• The speed may drop to less than the set speed on a steep uphill
grade. The accelerator must be used if you want to maintain that speed.
• The speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep down-
hill grade. When the speed increases too much, turn off the cruise
control.

4-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH*

Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive Vehicle (TOD)*
The vehicle equipped with the TOD 4-wheel drive evenly distributes the driving force to all wheels according to the road conditions.
Driving Mode Change (4H ↔ 4L)

1. Manual Transmission Equipped Vehicle

lever into “Neutral” position. Push the desired portion of
the switch while depressing the brake pedal and clutch
pedal.
2. Automatic Transmission Equipped Vehicle
Stop the vehicle on a level ground and place the gear
selector lever into “N” position. Push the desired por-
tion of the switch while depressing the brake pedal.
NOTE
When shifting from “4L” to “4H” in automatic transmission equipped
vehicle, move the gear selector lever from “N” to “R” position after
pushing the 4WD switch, then move it to “N” position again. This
may help to make easy mode change.
4-Wheel Drive Switch*

in ‘4H’ or ‘4L’.
1. ‘2H’ (2-Wheel drive)

This is rear wheel drive with high speed. Use this for normal
driving. This position gives greater economy, quieter ride and
least drive train wear.
2. ‘4H’ (4-Wheel Drive, High)

Use this for driving on wet or slippery roads such as roads
with snow, mud or sand.
This position provides greater traction than 2-wheel drive. The
front hubs will be locked automatically.
3. ‘4L’ (4-Wheel Drive, Low)

Use this for maximum power and traction. Use ‘4L’ for climb-
ing or descending steep hills, hard pulling in sand, mud or
deep snow.

CAUTION
• Select a proper 4-wheel drive mode according to the road conditions
such as slippery, steep hills, and roughness.
• There could be mechanical noises and shocks during mode changes.
However, these are normal conditions due to mode changing operations.
• When cornering a curved road in 4WD LOW drive mode, there could
be some mechanical shocks and resistances in vehicle’s drive train.
These are normal conditions due to internal resistance in drive train

CAUTIONS IN USING THE TURBOCHARGER

WHAT IS THE TURBOCHARGER?
Turbochargers are based on gas turbine en-
gine technology, but operate under consider-
ably greater pressure. The turbocharger con-
sists of two turbo elements, a turbine and a
compressor, both of which are driven from the
main center shaft. The turbine rotates between
50,000 ~ 160,000 spins per minute and uses
the energy of the exhaust gas to drive the
compressor. The compressor, in turn, draws
in fresh air which it supplies to the cylinders
in compressed from. As more fuel is drawn
into the engine, output performance is boosted
between 15-30% in comparison to a non-tur-
bocharged engine.
Advantages of a turbocharger
Turbocharger helps the engine operate more
smoothly and with greater efficiency.
• Increase specific power
• Compensate for power loss at altitude
• Reduce emissions
What is the intercooler?

The inter-cooler cools down the compressed
air temperature to increase the engine power
by increasing the air density.

EMERGENCY TOWING
For emergency towing when a towing service is not available,
your vehicle is equipped with the towing hooks under the front
and rear of the vehicle for use with a tow rope.
When towing your vehicle with the tow rope:
• Secure the rope to both of the towing hooks under the front
of the vehicle as tight as possible.
• To recognize the towing rope, bind a white colored cloth on
the center of the rope.
• Switch on the hazard warning flasher of both vehicles.
Within 5m
• Place the gearshift lever in neutral and release the parking
brake.
• Set the ignition in the ON position to release the steering
column lock and to permit the operation of brake lamps,
horn and windshield wipers.
• Only the driver should be in the towed vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
• To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from the towing
vehicles, close the windows and place the air intake lever
to the recirculation mode.
• Drive off slowly and avoid jerky movements.
• The distance between the towing vehicle and the towed
vehicle shouldn't be over 25 m and tow the vehicle within
25 km with 5 km/h of towing speed. The length of a rope
should be less than 5 m.

VEHICLE CARE
RUNNING-IN PERIOD CLEANING AGENTS
Follow the manufacturer’s advice whenever cleaning agents
or other chemicals are used, inside or outside the vehicle.
Some cleaners may be poisonous or flammable, and im-
proper use may cause personal injury or damage. When
cleaning the inside or outside of the vehicle, do not use vola-
tile cleaning solvents such as: acetone, lacquer thinners,
enamel reducers, nail polish removers: or cleaning materi-
als such as laundry soaps, bleaches or reducing agents, ex-
cept as noted in the fabric cleaning advice on stain removal.
Never use carbon tetrachloride, petrol, benzene, or naphtha
for any cleaning purpose. Open all vehicle doors for ventila-
tion when any cleaning agents or other chemical are used in
the interior. Overexposure to some vapors may result in a
health problem which is more likely to occur in small,
unventilated spaces. To avoid possible permanent discolora-

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE INTERIOR

Safety Belt Care
• Keep belts clean and dry.
• Clean safety belts only with mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since this may severely weaken
them.
With the use of modern trim materials, it is very important that

you use proper cleaning techniques and cleaners. Failing to
do this on the first cleaning may result in water spots, spot
rings, or setting of stains or soils-all of which are more diffi-
cult to remove in a second cleaning.
Dust and loose dirt that collect on interior fabrics should be
frequently removed with a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle
brush. Wipe vinyl or leather trim regularly with a clean damp
cloth. Normal trim soils, spots or stains can be cleaned with
