SEAT-BELT PRECAUTIONS

To protect you and your passengers in theevent of an accident, it is recommendedthat the seat-belts be worn by all occu-pants whilst the vehicle is in use. Seat-belts should be worn correctly.

Rear passengers not wearing seat-beltsare a danger to the driver and front pas-senger in the event of an accident.

The seat-belts are designed to be usedby only one person at a time : they arenot suitable for use by children below 6years of age. Suitable child seats, boostercushions should be fitted.

WARNING 0-1 -----~

To reduce the likelihood of injury toboth the pregnant woman and the un-born child, the lap belts should beworn as low as possible whenpregnant.

j CAUTION I IThe seat-belt will provide maximumprotection for its wearer if the seatback is adjusted to a fully uprightposition. When the seat back is re-clined, there is a greater risk that thepassenger will slide under the belt,especially in a forward impact, andmay be injured by the belt or bystriking the instrument panel.

CAUTION

NEVERWear the shoulder belt under thearm nearest the door.Use a belt for more than one per-son at a time.Wear the belts twisted or with thebuckle release button facing down-ward or inward.Let the belt system become dam-aged by a door or seat.Put anything into the opening wherethe safety belt passes through thetrim panel. This may jam the retrac-tor or damage the belt.

1-10

THREE-POINT SEAT-BELTS

Each Daewoo vehicle is equipped withthree-point seat-belts with automaticretractors, allowing freedom of bodymovement when driving at even, constantspeeds, although the spring-tensionedbelts are always a snug fit.This type of belt requires no length adjust-ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself tothe movement of the wearer, but in theevent of a sudden or strong shock, the beltautomatically locks to restrain the wearer'sbody.

Page 16: Daewoo Espero Manual

SEAT-BELT WARNING CHIME

The seat-belt warning chime will sound forabout 4 to 8 seconds when the ignitionswitch is in the "II" position unless thedriver's seat-belt is securely fastened.

CARE OF BELTS

Always keep the seat-belts clean and dry.Clean only with a mild soap solution orlukewarm water.Do not bleach or dye belts since this mayseverely weaken them. Make sure thatthe belt is not damaged or trapped bysharp edged objects.Periodically inspect all parts of the beltsand have damaged parts replaced. A beltwhich has been overstretched in an acci-dent must be replaced by a new one.Do not perform any alterations to yourvehicle's seat-belt system.

CAUTION

To help reduce the risk of personalinjury in collisions or sudden manoeu-vres, use the safety belts in accordancewith these instructions on their properuse and maintenance.Children small enough for child re-straints (as indicated on the label ofsuch restraints) should always travel inone. Accident statistics indicate childrenare safer when properly restrained inthe rear seat rather than in the frontseat. Accordingly, we recommend chil-dren be restrained in the rear seat.

1-12

DRIVER'S AIR BAG

The air bag is stored in the centre pad ofthe steering wheel.

The air bag Supplementary RestraintSystem (SRS) helps protect the driver'shead and chest against injuries in theevent of a collision.

C[JJThe air bag system activates during severecollisions which are either frontal or whenthe impact angle is up to 30° from straightahead.

Page 17: Daewoo Espero Manual

The air bag inflates within milliseconds dur-ing a crash and forms a safety cushion forthe driver.

After the air bag completely inflates, itimmediately deflates so that it does notinterfere with the driver's visibility or abilityto steer and operate other controls.

The air bag inflates with considerable forceand speed. It is therefore important that thedriver's seat and seat back should be cor-rectly adjusted, for the air bag to be fullyeffective. The driver's seat should be ad-justed so that the steering wheel can bereached with the arms slightly angled.

When the air bag inflates, an operating noisemay be heard and a small amount ofsmoke-like gas will be released. The gas isharmless and does not indicate that thereis a fire.

WARNING

The air bag system will not be trig-gered in the event of a rear impact,side impact, rollover or minor fron-tal collision. The seat-belts musttherefore always be worn. The airbag system serves to supplementthe seat-belt.Never affix anything to or over thecentre of the steering wheel, as itcould cause injury when the air bagis triggered.Do not perform any alterations tothe components of the air bag sys-tem. The system can be triggeredabruptly if it is treated improperly.The steering wheel and instrumentpanel must only be removed by aDaewoo Outlet or Daewoo Autho-rised Service Operation.The air bag can be triggered onlyonce. It must then be replaced onlyby a Daewoo Outlet or DaewooAuthorised Service Operation.

1-13

Repairs to the steering wheel,steering column and air bag systemmust be carried out only by aDaewoo Outlet or Daewoo Autho-rised Service Operation. Injuriesmay result if the air bag is triggeredinadvertently.Do not stick anything on the steer-ing wheel and instrument panel orcover them with other materials.Clean them only with a dry or adamp cloth. Do not use any aggres-sive cleaning agents.The air bag system must only bedisposed of by a Daewoo Outletor Daewoo Authorised ServiceOperation.Seat-belts must always be wornand a sufficient distance keptbetween the driver and the wheel.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use Unleaded Fuel Only.Unleaded fuel with a Research OctaneNumber 95 must be used in yourDaewoo vehicle.

Fuel quality has a decisive influence onthe power output, driveability and life ofthe engine. The additives contained in thefuel play an important role in this respect.You should therefore use only high-qualityfuels containing additives.

Fuels with too Iowan octane number cancause pre-ignition or detonation. Daewoocannot be held liable for the resultantdamage.

Leaded fuel must never be used. It willcause the catalytic converter to become in-effective and the emission control systemto malfunction.This can also result in increased mainte-nance expense.

To avoid the accidental use of leaded fuel,the larger nozzle used with leaded fuel atservice stations cannot be inserted intothe fuel tank opening of your Daewoovehicle.

Do not Use MethanolFuels containing methanol (wood alcohol)should not be used in your Daewoo. Thistype of fuel can reduce vehicle performanceand damage components of the fuel sys-tem.

1 CAUTION I IWarranty Policy will not cover damageto the fuel system and any perform-ance problems that are caused by theuse of methanol or fuel containingmethanol.

DRIVING TIPS FOR AUTOMATIC

TRANSMISSION*

Driving offAfter starting the engine and before shift-ing into a drive range, depress the brakepedal since the vehicle will otherwise startto "creep". Never use the accelerator andbrake pedals simultaneously.

For normal driving conditions the "D"position should be selected.

If the accelerator pedal is depressed gentlyand evenly the transmission will shift intothe fuel-saving higher gears at an earlystage. The drive range needs to bechanged manually only in exceptionalcases. Select "3" and "L" only when auto-matic shifting up is to be avoided or ifadditional use is to be made of the enginebraking effect.

Engine brakingIn order to utilise the engine braking ef-fect when driving downhill, select driverange "3", "2" or, if necessary, "1" in goodtime.

The braking action is most effective in driverange "1". If drive range "1" is selected attoo high a speed, the transmission remainsin second gear until the shift point for firstgear is reached, e.g. as a result of decel-eration.

Stopping the carThe selector lever can be left in the cho-sen drive range with the engine running.

When stopping on gradients engage thehand brake or depress the brake pedal.Do not increase the engine revolutions toensure smooth idling while standing if adrive range has been selected.

Switch off the engine if stopping for alengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or atlevel crossings.

Before leaving the vehicle, apply the handbrake, then place the selector lever in po-sition "P" and remove the ignition key.

Rocking the carIf it becomes necessary to rock the car tofree it from sand, mud, snow or a hole,move the selector lever from "0" to "R" in arepeat pattern while simultaneously apply-ing light pressure to the accelerator pedal.Do not race the engine and avoid suddenacceleration.

This applies only to the exceptional circum-stances mentioned above.

Manoeuvering the carTo manoeuvre the car back and forth dur-ing attempts to park or in garage entran-ces utilise the above-mentioned creepingeffect. Regulate your speed by lightly re-leasing the brake pedal.

Never press the accelerator and brake ped-als simultaneously.

Page 27: Daewoo Espero Manual

BRAKE

The standard braking system is designedfor braking performance under a widerange of driving conditions, even when thevehicle is loaded to its full rated vehicleload capacity

If the brake pedal can be depressedfurtherll1an normal, it may be due to a lackof adjustment of the rear drum brakes. Tofind oul jf this is the case, drive backwardsand forwards a few limes, applying thebrakes firmly when going in each direction.

Visit your Daewoo Outlet if the pedalheight does not return to normal, or thereis a rapid increase in pedal travel. Thiscould be a sign of brake trouble,

r-1 CAUTION I IDo not drive with your foot restingon the brake pedal as this cancause premature lining wear andpossible damage to the brakes.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

(ABS)

The anti-lock braking system controls thewheels so that they will not lock when brak-ing abruptly or when braking on a slipperyroad. The system detects the wheel rota-tion rate and electronically controls thepressure applied to the brakes. Slight vibra-tion accompanied by noise usually occurswhile the ASS is operating. Such vibrationand noise is not a problem but simplyindicates that the ASS is functioningnormally.If an abnormality occurs in the system, theanti-lock braking system is cancelled. Theordinary brakes will operate normally andthe ASS warning lamp will be illuminatedConsult your DAEWOO Outlet as soon aspossible if this situation occurs.

2-10

Braking with ASSIn an emergency. apply fun force on thebrake and clutch pedal simuttaneously. Theanti.lock braking system will be activatedimmediately, allowing you to retain fullsteering control 01 your vehicle.We recommend that you familiarise your-self with this braking technique.However, avoid taking unnecessary risks.

1WARNING I IThe anti.lock braking system, althougha sophisticated device, cannot preventaccidents resulting from careless ordangerous driving techniques.Ultimately the responsibility for yoursafety and that of others rests in Ihehands of the driver. Therefore onlythrough attentive and careful drivingmethods can the anti-lock braking sys.tem be fully appreciated.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE

Your car's fuel economy is mainly depen-dent on your style of driving.How you drive, where you drive, and whenyou drive has an eNect on how many milesyou can get from a gallon of fuel.To obtain maximum fuel economy fromyour car:

Start gradually and accelerate gently.Avoid excessive and unnecessaryidling,Keep your engine properly tuned,Do not race the engine.Use the air conditioning (if equipped)only when necessary.Slow down when driving on roughroads.Always keep your tyres inflated to therecommended pressure for longertyre life and optimum fuel economy.Keep your distance from other vehiclesto avoid sudden stops. This will reducewear on brake linings and improveeconomy as extra fuel is required toaccelerate back up to driving speed,

2-11

Do not carry unnecessary weight inthe vehicle.Do not rest your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving. This can cause needlesswear, possible damage to the brakesand poor fuel economy.Always ensure your vehicle is main-tained to the manufacturer's specifica-tion.

(CARBON MONOXIDE)

Engine exhaust gases, though colourlessand odourless, contain carbon monoxide,which is dangerous or even lethal if in-haled.• If at any time you suspect that exhaust

fumes are entering the passenger com-partment, have the source located andcorrected as soon as possible.

• If it is necessary to drive under suchconditions, do so only with all thewindows fully open.

• Do not run the engine in confinedareas such as garages or other closedareas any more than is necessary tomove the vehicle in or out of the area

• When the vehicle is stopped in a con-fined area with the engine running formore than a short length of time, ad-just the heating or cooling system torecirculate the air inside the vehicle.

• Never sit (or leave children) in aparked or stationary vehicle for an ex-tended period of time with the enginerunning.

OPERATING TIPS FOR

COOLING SYSTEM .

• If the car has been parked in directsunlight, open the windows before op-erating.

• To clean misted windows on rainy days,decrease the temperature inside thecar by operating the air conditioning.This is most effective during rainyweather and high humidity.

• When driving in heavy traffic areas, in-sufficient cooling may occur becauseof stopping and slowing down of thecar. In this case, increase the fanspeed.

• Keep the windows closed while the airconditioning is in operation.

• When the air conditioning system isnot being used for a month or more,you must run the engine at idle andturn the system on for a few minutesonce each week, even during wintermonths. This will keep the compres-sor and seals properly lubricated andwill prolong the service life of the sys-tem.

STARTING THE ENGINE

WITH JUMP LEADS

A car with a discharged battery may bestarted by transferring electrical powerfrom a battery in another car.

This may be dangerous however, andany deviation from the following in-structions could lead to personal in-jury or property damage resultingfrom a battery explosion, battery acidor electrical (short circuit) burns, aswell as damage to the electrical sys-tems in both vehicles.• Never expose the battery to

naked flames or sparks.• Do not allow the battery fluid to

come into contact with eyes, skin,fabrics or painted surfaces. Thefluid contains sulfuric acid whichcan cause injuries and damage.

• To lesson the risk of injury weareye protection when working nearany battery.

PERFORM OPERATIONS IN THECORRECT ORDER!1. Make sure that the battery providing

the jump start has the same voltage asthe battery in your car (i.e. 12V).

2. Do not lean over the battery duringjump starting.

3. Do not allow the terminals of one leadto touch those of the other lead.

4. Apply the hand brake.Vehicles with an automatic transmis-sion: set the selector lever to the "P"Vehicles with a manual transmission:place the gear shift lever in the neutral.

5. Connect the leads in the order shownin the picture.

6. The engine of the vehicle providing thestart can be allowed to run duringstarting. Start the vehicle with thedischarged battery as usual.

7. Reverse the above sequence exactlywhen removing the leads.

Page 70: Daewoo Espero Manual

TOWING THE VEHICLE

Switch on the hazard warning flashers ofboth vehicles.Secure the rope on the vehicle as tight aspossible.Place the gear shift lever in neutral (withan automatic transmission - place selec-tor lever in "N").Switch on the ignition to release thesteering column lock and to permit theoperation of the brake lamps, horn andwindscreen wipers.It is advisable to avoid jerky movementsand to drive slowly during the towing op-erations. More brake pedal pressure isnecessary for effective braking since thebrake servo unit will not be operating.On vehicles with power steering, greatersteering force is necessary since this unitwill not be operative .

To prevent the entry of exhaust fumesfrom the towing vehicle into the passen-ger compartment of the towed vehicle,close the windows and stop entry of airvia the heating and ventilation vents.If the transmission is defective, the frontof the vehicle must be raised.

Vehicles with an automatic transmissionshould not be towed with a rope. Theyshould be suspend towed as shown.

ROCKING THE VEHICLE

If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to freeit from snow, sand or mud, move the se-lector lever on an automatic transmissionmodels from "0" to "R" in a repeat patternwhile depressing the accelerator gently.(On manual transmission models, movethe gearshift lever from first to reversegear.)Do not race the engine. If you are still stuckafter a minute or two of rocking, have thevehicle pulled out to avoid overheating andpossible damage to the transmission.

CAUTION ,

Do not spin the front wheels exces-sively, as this may cause personal in-jury and/or premature failure of thedriveline components.

CARAVAN OR TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle is designed primarily as apassenger vehicle therefore handling,braking, durability and economy will be af-fected by towing a caravan or trailer.Your safety and satisfaction depend uponproper use of the correct equipment. Also,you should avoid overloading and otherabusive use.The maximum loaded trailer weight you canpull with your vehicle depends on your in-tended use and what special equipment hasbeen installed on it. Before attempting anytowing, ensure that the correct equipmentis fitted to your vehicle.Your Daewoo Outlet will help supply andinstall towing equipment to suit yourrequirements.

VehiciefTrailer LoadingTo load your vehicle and trailer properly,you must know how to measure grosstrailer weight and trailer tongue weight.Gross trailer weight is the weight of thetrailer plus all cargo in it. You can mea-sure gross trailer weight by putting thefully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.

Trailer tongue weight is the downwardforce exerted on the hitch by the trailercoupler, with the trailer fully loaded andthe coupler at its normal towing height.This weight can be measured using abathroom scale.The weight of your loaded trailer (grosstrailer weight) should never exceed thevalues in the chart below.The permissible caravan/trailer loads arevalid for gradients up to max. 12%.

(unit: kg)

Maximum Towable Weight

With Brake Type 1100

Without Brake Type 500

7-6

1 NOTEThe total gross vehicle weight with atrailer must not exceed the GrossVehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of thevehicle. The total gross vehicle weightis the weight of the vehicle, driver, pas-sengers, luggage or cargo, plus theweight of the hitch and the trailertongue weight.

CAUTION,

To help avoid personal injury due toswaying caused by such things ascrosswinds, large trucks passing orroad roughness, or due to separationof the trailer, keep the trailer tongueload at 10percent of the loaded trailerweight. Tongue load can be adjustedby proper distribution of the load in thetrailer. This can be checked byweighing separately the loaded trailerand then the tongue load.

Page 72: Daewoo Espero Manual

Trailer BrakesIf the trailer brakes are used, you shouldfollow all instructions provided by themanufacturer. Never modify the brake sys-tem of your vehicle.

Trailer LightsMake sure your trailer is equipped with lightswhich meet country and local require-ments. Always check for the proper op-eration of all trailer lights before you startto tow.

TiresWhen towing trailers, be sure your tyresare properly inflated to the inflation pres-sure shown on the Tyre Placard on thedriver's door.

The allowable pressure for each tyre isshown on the Tyre Placard.

MaintenanceMore frequent service is required whenusing your vehicle to pull a trailer.

Regularly check that all the trailer hitchbolts and nuts are tight.

Safety ChainsAlways attach safety chains between yourvehicle and the trailer. Cross the safetychains under the tongue of the trailer sothat the tongue will not drop to the road ifit becomes separated from the hitch.Follow the manufacturer's recommen-dation for attaching safety chains. Alwaysleave just enough slack to permit fullturning. Never allow safety chains to dragon the road.

Towing tipsThe cooling fan is driven electrically. Itscooling capacity is thus not dependent onthe engine speed. At high engine speedsa lot of heat is produced and at low enginespeeds correspondingly less heat is pro-duced. For this reason, when driving uphilldo not shift down into a lower gear whenthe vehicle can still climb the hill in thehigher gear.When driving uphill do not drive faster than30 km/h (19 mph) in first gear or 50 km/h(31 mph) in second gear.

7-7

On vehicles with automatic transmissiontowing the brake type caravan/trailer,when driving gradients of 10% or more donot exceed 15 km/h (9 mph) in first gearor 25 km/h (16 mph) in second gear.Make sure that you have enough roomwhen cornering and avoid suddenmanceuvres.• Before driving, make sure that the

lighting system of the trailer worksproperly.

• Observe the legal maximum speedsfor towing.

• Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration orstops.

• Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.• Always drive your vehicle at a moder-

ate speed.• Always block the wheels on both the

vehicle and the trailer when parking.Apply the parking brake on the trailerwhere fitted.Parking on a steep slope is not re-commended.

• Take note of the trailer manufacturer'sinstructions.

ENGINE OIL

Engine oil and filter change.Engine oil changes are to be carried outdepending on time intervals and mileage in-tervals, since oil looses its lubrication prop-erties not only through engine operationbut also through ageing.Under exceptional conditions e.g. frequentcold starts or predominantly urban traffic andstop-and-go traffic, the engine oil and en-gine oil filter should be changed at shorterintervals than the recommended mainten-ance schedule.

Engine oil filter elements should be re-placed at the same time with engine oil.

Service interval Capacity

Change every 3.75L10,000 miles or 1 year (including(But, every 5,000 miles or oil filter)6 months under severeconditions)

Severe conditions

When most trips are less than 4 miles(6 km).Operating when outside temperaturesremain below freezing and when most

trips are less than 10 miles (16 km).When most trips include extended idlingand/or frequent low-speed operationsuch as in stop-and-go traffic.When operating in dusty areas.

Checking procedure

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it and reinsertit.Pull it out again and check that the oillevel is between max. and min. levelmarks. Also check the oil on the dipstickfor contamination.

The oil should not go above the "max" markon the dipstick. This would lead, for ex-ample, to increased oil consumption, foul-ing of the spark plugs and excessive for-mation of carbon residue.When replenishing, use the same gradeof oil as used at the last oil change.

CAUTION

The engine oil level should bechecked with the vehicle standing ona level ground (before the operation ofthe engine).If the engine is running, stop the en-gine and allow 5 minutes for the oil tosettle before checking the level.

WARNING t-I -----~

Prolonged and repeated contact withused engine oil may cause seriousskin disorders including dermatitisand cancer. Avoid excessive contact,wash thoroughly after contact.Keep used engine oil out of reach ofchildren. Empty and used oil con-tainers must not be disposed of in thehousehold refuse waste, use yourlocal authorised waste disposal faci-lities when disposing of these.

COOLANT LEVEL

The cooling system is filled with a glycolbase coolant.In the correct concentration the coolantprovides excellent corrosion and freezeprotection for the entire cooling and heat-ing system and must therefore not be re-placed by plain water even in summer.The coolant level should be full in the ra-diator and slightly above the "COLD" markon the coolant surge tank when the engineis cool. The level rises with the engine atoperating temperature and drops againwhen the engine cools down.If the level falls below the "COLD" mark,add enough 50/50 water and ethylene gly-col anti-freeze mix, to provide freezing andcorrosion protection, to bring the level toa little over the "COLD" mark.

AUTO TRANSMISSION

FLUID LEVEL*-

To ensure proper functioning, efficiencyand durability of the automatic transmis-sion, it is of the utmost importance that thefluid is always kept at the proper level.The level must therefore be checked at theintervals specified in this manual. The dip-stick bears the markings "MIN" (top-up)and "MAX" (full).The level must be checked with the enginerunning and the selector lever in position"P". On a cold transmission, the check isperformed using the side of the dipstickmarked "+20°C", while for a transmissionat operating temperature the sidemarked(94°C) should be used.

( +80°CMIN~

~I MAX +20°C ::::>:-

Normal operating temperature is onlyreached after motorway driving over a dis-tance of at least 8 to 12 miles (15 to20 km) or similar.Add fluid through the pipe only if the fluidlevel has reached the "MIN" mark. Do notgo above the "MAX" mark. Extreme clean-liness should be exercised during check-ing and filling since dirty particles enter-ing the automatic transmission couldcause severe malfunctions.Use only the special fluid as given in thelubricant chart.

BRAKE FLUID

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, and thus ab-sorbs humidity. Excessive moisture in thebrake fluid may adversely affect thesafety of the hydraulic braking system.It is, therefore, necessary to change thebrake fluid every 2 years.Brake fluid is poisonous and will alsodamage the paint finish of your car. Thefluid level in the container must not behigher than the "MAX" mark or lower thanthe "MIN" mark.For replenishing use only the specifiedbrake fluid.After removing the filler cap, top up tothe "MAX" mark and tighten the capsecurely afterwards.Low fluid level can indicate a leak in thebraking system.Have the system checked at your near-est Daewoo Outlet.

Service interval Capacity

Change every 20,000 miles 0.5Lor 2 years

CAUTIONIf the brake indicator light comes onwhile driving, the fluid reservoir shouldbe filled to the level mark with recom-mended brake fluid.

Battery terminals should be disconnected af-ter stopping the engine.Check the battery terminals for corrosion(a white or yellowish powder). To removeit, cover the terminals with a solution ofbaking soda and water. It will bubble up andturn brown. When this stops, wash it offwith plain water. Dry off the battery with acloth or paper towel.Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly tohelp prevent future corrosion.If the terminals are severely corroded,clean them with baking soda and water.Use a wrench to loosen and remove thecables from the terminals. Alwaysdisconnect the negative (-) cable firstand reconnect it last. Clean the batteryterminals with a terminal cleaning tool orwire brush. Reconnect and tighten thecable, then coat the terminals withpetroleum jelly.

For best battery service, do the following.1. Keep the battery securely mounted.2. Keep the battery top clean and dry.3. Keep the terminals and connections

clean, tight and coated with petroleumjelly or terminal grease.

4. Rinse off any spilled electrolyte imme-diately with a solution of water and bak-ing soda.

Tyre conditionImpacting against curbstones can result inhidden tyre damage which is only noticedlater on (a possible risk of accident at highspeed) so only drive over curb edges slowlyand at a right-angle if this is necessary atall.From time to time check lyres for wear, treaddepth and visible damage.The tyre should be replaced when the treaddepth is below 1.6 mm.

In the event of abnormal wear, consultyour Daewoo Outlet and have the chassisand steering checked.Should, after extended mileage, the fronttyres show greater wear than the reartyres, it is recommended to have both frontwheels exchanged with the rear wheels.A deeper tread on the front tyres, providesgreater safety.

Maintaining the specified tyre pressures isessential for driver comfort, driving safetyand long tyre life.Check the tyre pressures, including thespare wheel, at least every 14 days andprior to any long journey. The tyres shouldbe checked in a cold condition using an ac-curate tyre pressure gauge.Incorrect inflation pressures will increasetyre wear and affect safety, vehicle hand-ling and comfort.Increased tyre pressure resulting fromwarm tyres after extensive driving mustnot be reduced.Securely retighten valve caps after check-•Ing pressure.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

Have all maintenance work carried out by aDaewoo Outlet or Daewoo AuthorisedService Operation at the intervals speci-fied by Daewoo. You can then be certainthat all components of the vehicle's elec-trical, injection and ignition systems will beoperating correctly, that your vehicle hasa low level of pollutant emission and thatthe catalytic converter system will have along life.

You should therefore avoid:• Frequent repeated cold starts.• Actuation of the starter for an unneces-

sarily long time during starting (fuel isinjected during the starting procedure).

• Allowing the tank to become empty (anirregular fuel supply leads to overheat-ing).

• Starting the engine by pushing ortowing (unburnt fuel may enter thecatalytic converter): use jump leads.

Fuel injection, ignition, idling and overrunfuel cut-off are controlled electronically.

If the indicator light comes on with theengine running, a fault has occurred. Theelectronic system switches to an emer-gency running programme so that drivingmay be continued. Consult a DaewooOutlet or Daewoo Authorised ServiceOperation to remedy the fault.

Do not drive for a lengthy period with theengine control indicator light illuminated,as this may damage the catalytic conver-ter, increase fuel consumption and impairthe vehicle's driveability.

ENGINE CONTROL INDICATOR(SERVICE ENGINE SOONLIGHT)

The engine control indicator light comeson when the ignition is switched on andremains illuminated during starting.The light goes out shortly after the enginestarts to run.

If the engine control indicator light comeson briefly and then goes out again this isnormal and does not indicate a systemfault.

If unburnt fuel enters the catalytic con-verter, combustion may occur there, re-sulting in overheating and irreparabledamage to the catalytic converter.

Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic con-verter and parts of the electronic system,thereby rendering them inoperative.

The fuel tank filler neck is of a narrowdesign so that a dispensing purnp forleaded fuel cannot be inserted.

Damage to the catalytic converter or thevehicle may result if the following pointsare not observed:• Consult a Daewoo Outlet or Daewoo

Authorised Service Operation asquickly as possible in the event ofmisfiring, irregular engine running fol-lowing a cold start, a significant loss ofengine power or other unusual mal-functions which may indicate a fault inthe ignition system. If necessary, driv-ing may be continued for a short timeat a low speed and with low enginerevolutions.

.CLEANING AGENTS

Follow the manufacturer's advice whenevercleaning agents or other chemicals areused, inside or outside the vehicle. Somecleaners may be poisonous or flammable,and improper use may cause personal in-jury or damage. When cleaning the insideor outside of the vehicle, do not use volatilecleaning solvents such as: acetone, lacquerthinners, enamel reducers, nail polish re-movers: or such cleaning materials as laun-dry soaps, bleaches or reducing agents,except as noted in the fabric cleaning ad-vice on stain removal. Never use carbontetrachloride, fuel, benzene, or naphtha forany cleaning purpose. Open all the vehicledoors for ventilation when any cleaningagents or other chemicals are used in theinterior. Overexposure to some vapors mayresult in a health problem which is morelikely to occur in small, unventilated spaces.To avoid possible permanent discolourationof light coloured seats, do not let materialswith non-fast colours come in contact withseat trim materials until these materials aretotally dry. This includes certain types ofcasual clothing, such as coloured denims,corduroys, leathers and suedes: also dec-orative paper, etc.

CARE AND CLEANING OF

THE INTERIOR

With the use of modern trim materials, it isvery important that you use proper clean-ing techniques and cleaners. Failing to dothis on the first cleaning may result in wa-ter spots, spot rings, or setting of stains orsoils-all of which are more difficult to re-move in a second cleaning.

Dust and loosen dirt that collects oninterior fabrics should be frequentlyremoved with a vacuum cleaner or softbristle brush. Wipe vinyl or leather trimregularly with a clean damp cloth. Normaltrim soils, spots, or stains can be cleanedwith cleaners:

Safety belt care• Keep belts clean and dry.• Clean safety belts only with a mild

soap and lukewarm water.• Do not bleach or dye belts since this

may severely weaken them.

9-2

GLASS SURFACES

Glass surfaces should be cleaned on aregular basis. The use of a glass cleaneror a liquid household glass cleaner willremove normal tobacco smoke and dustfilms sometimes caused by ingredientsused in vinyls and interior plastics.Never use abrasive cleaners on any vehicleglass, as they may cause scratches. Ifabrasive cleaners are used on the inside ofthe rear window, any electric demisterelement may be damaged. Avoid placingdecals on the inside rear window, sincethey may have to be scraped off later. Anytemporary license, etc. should not beattached across the demister grid.

Cleaning the outside of windscreenIf your windscreen is not clear after usingthe windscreen washer, or if the wiperblade chatters when running, wax or an-other material may be on the blade orwindscreen.Clean the outside of the windscreen withcleaning powder or an equivalent non ab-rasive cleaner. Your windscreen is cleanif beads do not form when rinsing withwater.

Page 100: Daewoo Espero Manual

CARE AND CLEANING OF

THE EXTERIOR

Exterior finishThe paint finish on your vehicle providesbeauty, depth of colour, gloss retentionand durability.

Washing your vehicleThe best way to preserve your vehicle'sfinish is to keep it clean by frequentwashing. Wash the vehicle in lukewarm orcold water.

Do not use hot water or wash your ve-hicle in the direct rays of the sun. Do notuse strong soap or chemical detergents.All cleaning agents should be flushedpromptly from the surface and not al-lowed to dry on the finish.

Daewoo vehicles are designed to operateunder normal environmental conditionsand to withstand the natural elements.However, unusual conditions, such ashigh pressure car washes, may causewater to enter inside the vehicle.

Polishing and waxingPeriodic polishing and waxing is recom-mended to remove surface residue fromyour paint finish. Approved products aresupplied through your Daewoo Outlet.

Protecting exterior bright metal partsBright metal parts should be cleaned regu-larly to keep their luster. Washing withwater is all that is usually needed.

Use special care with aluminum trim. Toavoid damaging protective trim, never useautomotive or chrome polish, steam, orcaustic soap to clean aluminum. A coatingof wax, rubbed to a high polish, isrecommended for all bright metal parts.

Cleaning aluminum wheels, rallywheels, and wheel coversPreserve the original appearance of wheelsor wheel covers by keeping them clean andfree from build-up of road dirt and/or roadsalt. Regular cleaning is recommended. Donot use abrasive cleaners or cleaningbrushes, as they could damage the finish.

9-3

Your car was designed to resist corrosion.Special materials and protective finisheswere used on most parts of your car whenit was built to help maintain a goodappearance, strength and reliable opera-tion. Some parts which normally are notvisible (such as certain parts located inthe engine compartment and the under-body of the vehicle) are such that surfacerust will not affect their reliability. There-fore, corrosion protection is not neededor used on these parts.

Sheet metal damageIf your car is damaged and requires sheetmetal repair or replacement, make sure thebody repair shop applies proper anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired orreplaced so that corrosion protection isrestored. (Also see "Finish damage" whichfollows.)

Foreign material depositsCalcium chloride and other salts, ice melt-ing agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, birddroppings, chemicals from industrial chim-neys and other foreign matter may dam-age vehicle finishes if left on paintedsurfaces.

Page 101: Daewoo Espero Manual

Prompt washing may not completely re-move all of these deposits. Other clean-ers may be needed. When using chemicalcleaners, be sure they are safe for use onpainted surfaces.

Finish damageAny stone chips, fractures or deepscratches in the finish should be repairedpromptly. Bare metal will corrode quicklyand may develop into a major repair ex-pense. Minor chips and scratches can berepaired with touch-up materials. Largerareas of finish damage can be correctedin your outlets' body and paint shop.

Underbody maintenanceCorrosive materials used for ice and snowremoval and dust control can collect on theunderbody. If these materials are notremoved, accelerated corrosion (rust) canoccur on underbody parts such as fuellines, frame, floor pan and the exhaustsystem even though they have been pro-vided with corrosion protection.

At least every spring, flush these mater-ials from the underbody with plain water.Take care to clean any areas where mudand other debris can collect. Sedimentpacked in closed areas of the frame shouldbe loosened before being flushed. If de-sired, your Daewoo Outlet can do thisservice for you.

9-4

WARNINGWhen an engine is washed, fuel, greaseand oil residues are washed off. There-fore you should use only a filling sta-tion or a Oaewoo Outlet who has oilseparator equipment in the car washbay.

Used engine oil, brake fluid, antifreeze,batteries and tyres should be disposedof by using the local authorised wastedisposal facilities, or have them dis-posed of by the vendor who is under astatutory obligation to do so when youreplace them.

On no account must any of these itemsbe placed in the household refuse binsor the fluids poured down the drains.

Everyone should be concerned aboutenvironmental protection.

ENGINE OIL

API classifications of engine oilThe American Petroleum Institute classifiesengine oils according to their performance(quality). Each category is given two letters.The first letter indicates the field of applica-tion.S= Service. API categories valid primarily

for fuel engines.C= Commercial. API categories valid prima-

rily for diesel engines.The second letter indicates the quality inascending alphabetical order.API-SG=Oil for fuel engineAPI-CD=Oil for diesel engineA higher quality than specified may al-ways be used.Oils which fall into both classifications aredesignated accordingly e.g. API SG/CC.Further specifications from the motor in-dustry may also be found on the oil cans

EngineThe viscosity should be selected according to outsidetemperature. Do not switch to a different viscosity in theevent of brief temperature fluctuations.
