Precautions

Description:

Please read the following precautions to ensure personal safety and proper servicing.

Precautions for supplemental restraint system (SRS) “air bag” and (SB) “seat belt pre-tensioner”:

The supplemental restraint system (SRS) “air bag” and (SB) “seat belt pre-tensioner”, used along with a seat belt, help reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in the event of a vehicle collision. The information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS section and SB section of this Service Manual.

Warning:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a collision, all maintenance operations must be performed by an authorized JAC dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury or death caused by unintentional activation of the system.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and orange harnesses or harness connectors.

General precautions:

Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without proper exhaust ventilation. Keep the work environment well ventilated and away from any inflammable materials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant, natural gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed room, ensure the working place is ventilated well before handling any hazardous materials. Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

General Information and Maintenance

Before jacking up the vehicle, put wheel chocks or other tire blocks under the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehicle. This operation should be done on a level ground.

GI002

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or transmission, please do not waggle it using excessive force in order to disconnect it. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially the brake pipes and master cylinder.

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch and disconnect the negative battery terminal.

If the terminal is disconnected, memory in the control module will be cleared.

To prevent scalds: Avoid contact with hot metal parts. Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.

Clean all removed parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection and assembly.

Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.

Warning:

To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes incorrectly, do not carelessly disconnect the harness connectors which are related to the engine control system. Operate only according to the work flow of trouble diagnoses in EC section.

Precautions for three way catalyst:

If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the three way catalyst, the catalyst temperature will rise sharply. To avoid this, follow the instructions below:

Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

When performing spark plug tests or measuring cylinder pressure, do the jobs quickly and only when necessary.

Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the three way catalyst.

Please do not park the vehicle on inflammable materials. Keep inflammable materials away from the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.

Precautions for fuel:

The 4GB2.3D engine uses unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of number 93 or above

Please do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the

Engine coolant:

The semitransparent coolant expansion tank is installed in the engine compartment. Keep the coolant level in this expansion tank between the “MIN” and “MAX” lines. Be sure to check coolant level when engine is cold.

Coolant consumption is very small under normal conditions. When coolant level drops, it indicates possible leaks. If this occurs, immediately drive to a JAC approved service station for inspection.

If the coolant level drops to below the level of the “MIN” line on the coolant expansion tank, please add coolant promptly.

MA002

Precautions:

When coolant of other brand is to be used, be sure to drain original coolant and clean. Hybrid use of coolants of different brands will cause damage to such components as engine and radiator.

Coolants are harmful to human health! The coolant should be kept properly in its original container and particularly out of reach of children.

Note that the expansion tank cap can not be opened during operation when engine is hot. A certain pressure exists in cooling system of a hot engine. Serious burns will be caused when hot coolant ejects.

Do not spill fluid when filling coolant. Otherwise wipe up the spillage with a cloth immediately.

MA-7

J4 Workshop Manual

General Information and Maintenance

The coolant contains harmful corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, flush clean with clear water immediately if the fluid spills on your body inadvertently.

Never open radiator cap before engine cools down completely. Serious burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid spilling from radiator.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap. First turn radiator cap 1/4 turn to release built-up pressure in radiator, and then screw off radiator cap all the way.

1.Changing engine coolant

Hybrid use of coolants of different brands is not allowed. When changing to a different coolant, you need to drain the original antifreeze coolant in the engine radiator and engine completely as follows:

Remove radiator cap.

Remove radiator drain valve (from lower left part of radiator), and drain coolant in radiator and engine water jacket.

Remove expansion kettle and drain coolant in it.

Loosen radiator inlet pipe clamp and pull out the pipe. Clean engine coolant lines by pouring clear water through radiator inlet until clean water is drained. Then install radiator inlet pipe and clamp it.

Tighten radiator drain valve firmly.

Pour coolant designated by JAC Motors in radiator slowly until it is topped off. Start engine and then liquid level in radiator should drop. Wait until radiator is filled with coolant, and then install radiator cap.

Fill expansion tank with coolant until liquid level reaches line “MAX” (full).

Install expansion tank cap.

Start engine and warm it up until thermostat opening.

After thermostat opening, run engine at full speed for several times and then shut it down; wait until engine cools down, and then fill expansion tank with engine coolant until liquid level reaches line “MAX” (full).

2.Coolant

The engine coolant contains corrosion inhibitor-ethylene glycol. The cylinder head and water pump are aluminum alloy die castings. To prevent these components from corrosion, be sure to change engine coolant regularly.

The coolant contains corrosion inhibitors, so do not replace it by light water even in summer.

Content of the required coolant varies with ambient temperature used:

3.In cold seasons

When the air temperature in the location of your vehicle drops to below 0, the coolant in the engine or radiator may have the risk of freezing causing serious damage to them. To prevent coolant from freezing, add sufficient quantity of coolant in it. The engine coolant filled at delivery of the vehicle has an antifreeze effect even at a low temperature of around -35. Before start of each cold season, check coolant content and add coolant to the system in time when necessary.

Flushing cooling system:

Install reservoir tank and radiator drain plug if removed.

Caution:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.

If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, please install and tighten them.

Remove air duct component.

Disconnect heater hose.

Raise heater hose as high as possible.

Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water, and install radiator cap.

Disconnect when engine coolant overflows heater hose, and then reconnect heater hose and continue filling engine coolant.

Install air duct component.

Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

Rev engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.

Stop engine and wait until it cools down.

Drain water from the system.

Repeat steps 1~9 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.

MA-11

J4 Workshop Manual

General Information and Maintenance

The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time.

Always use oil level gauge to check for proper engine oil refill capacity.

Pull out the engine oil dipstick from the engine. Check whether the engine oil level is at MAX and MIN.

Warm up the engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.

Check if the oil level is within the normal range.

Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes. Check whether the engine oil level is normal.

Chassis and body maintenance

Checking exhaust system:

Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting brackets for improper positions, cracks, damage, loose connections or wear; if any part is found damaged, please repair or replace.

Transmission:

Both poor lubricant quality and lubricant excess or lack will affect normal operation and service life of the manual transmission. Use gear oil SAE 75W~85W as the manual transmission fluid. Check oil volume as follows:

Check oil volume after vehicle driving with transmission still hot.

When checking, be sure to park your vehicle on a flat, level and good ground and set parking brake. Do not proceed with the next operation until making sure the vehicle has come to a full stop.

Set shift lever to neutral position.

Screw off filler plug at left side of transmission and wipe up filler with a clean cotton cloth. Check that the fluid level is within the range from lower edge of filler to not lower than 5mm from the lower edge.

If the fluid is found dilute, gumming or too dirty, change immediately.

Caution:

Do not spill fluid when filling. Otherwise wipe clean the spillage immediately.

Hybrid use of gear oils of different brands will damage transmission. Be sure to use the designated hypoid gear oil SAE 75W~85W (API GL-4 grade above compliant).

Brake system:

Check brake fluid level in reservoir tank. The level must be between the “MIN” and “MAX” lines on the tank. Brake fluid level will slightly drop when brake pad is worn.

If brake fluid level drops significantly in a short period of time, it indicates oil leaks in

brake system. If this occurs, immediately drive to a JAC approved service station to have your vehicle serviced.

Use DOT 4 brake fluid. Brake fluids are water absorbing liquids. Braking performance will be reduced if the brake fluid contains excessive moisture. In addition, the brake fluid cup is provided with a special sealing gland in order to prevent air entry. This gland can not be removed at will.

Brake fluid level is monitored by a float. When brake fluid level drops to below the “MIN” line, the brake fluid warning light will come on.

1.Changing brake fluid

The brake fluid can absorb moisture, so it will absorb the moisture in the surrounding air as time elapses. However, excessive water content in the brake fluid could cause corrosion damage to the brake system. In addition, boiling point of the brake fluid will drop significantly. Therefore, be sure to change the brake fluid every 2 years.

Caution:

If the brake fluid has been used for an extended period of time, bubbles will be produced in the brake system under extremely high braking load, thus impairing braking efficiency and driving safety seriously.

Use DOT 4 brake fluid approved by JAC only at brake fluid change. In addition, it is required that brake lines be cleaned thoroughly. Ensure hybrid use of 2 types of brake fluid will not occur.

Caution:

Brake fluids are harmful to human health! Therefore, the coolant should be kept properly in its original sealed container and particularly out of reach of children. In addition, take care to prevent brake fluid from corroding automobile finish.

Pay attention to disposal of brake fluid. It will impair both eyes and skin and spray-painted surfaces. Flush clean with clear water immediately if the fluid spills on your body inadvertently.

Be sure to keep brake fluid cup clean. Its gland must be tightened to prevent dirt entry.

When filling brake fluid, wipe clean brake fluid cup gland and filler with a clean rag first and then refill with designated clean brake fluid.

If the brake fluid is found deteriorated, drain the fluid in brake system and then refill with clean designated brake fluid.

2.Checking brake lines and cables

Tires:

For safe driving of your vehicle, type and size of tires must be suitable for the vehicle model; in addition, tire treads must be in good condition and appropriate tire pressures must be provided.

The way to service tires and the method for tire replacement are described below.

Warning!

Use of excessively worn or under inflated tires will cause accidents resulting in personal injury or death.

All instruction regarding tire inflation and maintenance in the Operation Manual must be observed.

Overview of inflation:

Keeping tires properly inflated provides the best combination of steerability, tread life and driving comfort.

Underinflation may cause uneven wear of tires and affect steerability and fuel consumption, and much more likely result in air leaks due to overheating.

Overinflated tires will make your ride in the vehicle uncomfortable, are more likely to be damaged by rugged roads, and are subjected to uneven wear.

Measure tire pressure with a tire gauge at least monthly. Even pressure of a tire in good condition may decrease by 10~20KPa (0.1~0.2kgf/cm2) per month. Also check spare tire each time all tires are checked.

MA-15

J4 Workshop Manual

General Information and Maintenance

Measure tire pressure when tires are cold. This means that the measurement should be made after your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or when travel distance does not exceed 1.6km. If necessary, inflate or deflate tires until their tire pressures reach the value recommended for cold tires in the name plate on driver side door frame.

When pressure of a tire is checked when hot (after a travel of several kilometers), the reading will be 30~40KPa (0.3~0.4kgf/cm2) higher than that when cold, which is normal. Do not deflate the tire in order to reach the specified cold tire pressure reading, otherwise tire underpressure will result.

When a tubeless tire is punctured, its self-seal function will be activated. If pressure of a tire starts to drop, locate air leak carefully.

Checking tires:

Also check tires for wounds, punctures by foreign materials and other abrasions at each tire inflation check.

Damage and bulge on tread or sidewall. If any is found, replace the tire.

Scratch, crack or fracture on sidewall. If tire fabric or cord can be seen, replace the tire.

Excessive tread wear.

Servicing tires:

In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment also helps reduce tread wear. If uneven tire wear is found, check wheel alignment.

If some kind of continuous vibration is felt during driving, check tires. Perform tire balance as long as a tire has ever been removed from its wheel. When installing a new tire, be sure to perform tire balance. This can increase ride comfort and prolong tire life.

Caution:

Inappropriate wheel balance weights will damage aluminum alloy wheels. Therefore, use original wheel balance weights of JAC to keep wheels balanced only.

Tire rotation:

To prolong service lives of tires and ensure even tire wear, rotate tires every 8,000km. At each rotation, move tires to the positions shown by the figure at right. The figure at right indicates how to rotate tires of a vehicle provided with a standard spare tire.

If directional tires are used, swap tires on front and rear wheels only at tire rotation. If a standard spare tire is used at tire rotation,

J4 Workshop Manual

General Information and Maintenance

please refer to the figure at right.

Replacing tires and wheels:

Select radial ply tires of same size, load range, rated speed and maximum cold pressure (marked on sidewall) for replacement.

Hybrid use of radial ply tires and bias ply tires will reduce braking capacity, driving force (ground adhesion) and steering precision of your vehicle.

Use of tires of different sizes or structures will result in anti-lock brake system (ABS) failure to work normally. ABS works by comparing speeds of wheels. When replacing a tire, be sure to use one of same size as original tires of the vehicle. Size and structure of tires will affect wheel speed and may result in uncoordinated movements of the system.

It is preferable that the 4 tires be replaced at the same time. If impossible or unnecessary, replace 2 front or rear tires in pairs. Replacing only one tire will affect steerability of your vehicle badly.

If a wheel replacement is required, ensure the new wheel and the original one match in size.

Warning!

Installing with unsuitable tires will affect steering mobility and stability of your vehicle and may result in accidents, causing casualty.

Always use the tires of the recommended size and type indicated in the tire name plate affixed to the vehicle.

For size of the tires applicable to this vehicle, please refer to the tire name plate affixed to driver side door frame or consult a JAC authorized after service shop.
