How to Use This Manual

1. There is a content index on the first page of each

chapter. You can consult the index to see the items

needed for maintenance. In order to make searching

more convenient, the subject of each chapter has been

printed on the page header of each odd page.

2. There is a summary or caution item in the beginning of

each chapter. Please read this content carefully before

any maintenance is performed. Some systems include

a malfunction diagnostic table to help determine ve-

hicle failures and their causes.

3. Throughout the entire manual, each maintenance

step's corresponding specification is highlighted in bold,

so there should be no need to pause maintenance

work in order to find these specifications.

4. Warnings, Cautions & Notes

• Warnings are highlighted in bold, indicating the possibility

of causing injury to oneself or to others.

• Cautions are highlighted in bold, indicating the possibility

of damaging the part being repaired.

• Notes are listed separately from the instructions, not high-

lighted in bold. They are mainly used for additional expla-

nations in order to work more effectively.

5. Maintenance procedures:

Most of the maintenance procedures begin with a high-level

component schematic, which indicates individual vehicle

components and how they are assembled.

Overview

Correct vehicle maintenance and repair is very important

to the safety of the maintenance person and the vehicle. If

any vehicle part change is necessary, please use a part with

the same part number or part number specified by the Great

Wall Motor Co., Ltd. Never use a part that has not been au-

thorized by the Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd.

4. Inspect the front brake disc thickness.

Standard thickness: 22.0 mm

Minimum thickness: 20.0 mm

The brake disc must be changed when its thickness falls be-

low the minimum level.

The maintenance procedures are explained step by step:

• The schematics and diagrams illustrate how and where to

operate.

• The titles convey the maintenance content.

• Detailed instruction explains how to perform the maintenance,

as well as introduces other related matters, such as specifications,

warnings, and so on.

For example:

Specifications

Engine Manufacturing Number

The engine manufacturing number is engraved on the left

side of the engine cylinder block.

Vehicle Nameplate

Every vehicle has a vehicle nameplate, and this vehicle's

nameplate is located at the bottom of the right B-pillar.

Identifying Number Location

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

A Vehicle Identification Number is a unique serial number

consisting of 17 characters and used to identify individual

motor vehicles. This number is marked at three different

places: at the nameplate, at the upper-left side of the dash-

board, and at the cross member located under the front pas-

senger seat.

Comprehensive Repair Instructions

1. Use the splasher, backing, and carpet to keep the vehicle

clean and to prevent damage.

2. While removing, mark all vehicle components or

place all the components in proper order to make re-

assembling more convenient.

3. Disposable parts:

(a) Always use new parts to replace cotter pins, gaskets, O-

rings, and oil seals.

(b) Disposable parts will be marked with a " " in the

components schematics section.

4. Precoated components.

The precoated components include bolts and nuts which

have been coated with locking sealant in the factory.

(a) If the precoated part is tightened, loosened, or moved

for certain reason, it must be coated with prescriptive

sealant again.

(b) When reused, the original sealant should first be

cleaned and dried using compressed air. Afterwards,

use the required locking sealant to coat the bolts, nuts,

or threads.

(c) Precoated parts are marked with " " in the components

schematics section.

5. All rules regarding a bolt's tightening torque must be

seriously obeyed, and a torque wrench must be used.

6. Be careful when using a jack to raise and support the

vehicle. Make sure to jack up and support the vehicle

at proper locations.

(a) To ensure safety, chock up the wheels of the opposite

side if the place to be jacked up is either the front or

back of the vehicle.

(b) After lifting the vehicle, make absolutely sure to

support it with a bracket. It's extremely dangerous to

perform maintenance using merely a jack, even if to

finish the small matter quickly.

7. Pay attention to the "Areas of Importance" below to

avoid damaging any part:

(a) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU (Electronic

Control Unit) unless it's absolutely necessary. (Touching

the pin of the IC (Integrated Circuit) may damage the

IC due to static electricity.)

(b) When unplugging the vacuum hose, make sure to pull

from the end of the hose but not the center.

Incorrect

Correct

(c) To make hose reassembly more convenient, label the

unplugged portions for easier recognition later. After

performing this task, check carefully to make sure the

hose is connected correctly.

(d) Be careful! Do not drop any electrical components (like

sensors or relay connectors). Replace them at once

if they have been dropped onto a hard surface. They

cannot be used for the second time.

(e) When cleaning the engine with a steam, make sure to

properly protect the ignition coil and air filter as to

prevent water from seeping in.

(f) Do not forcefully try to connect a hose into an

oversized tube while using a vacuum gauge. Instead,

use a stepped connector. If the hose is stretched, it may

lead to leaking.

8. All resistors must be measured at below 20

o

C room

temperature unless special situations arise. This is

because resistance value measured under higher

temperature may exceed standard requirements, espe-

cially if measured after driving the vehicle. All measures

should be taken after the engine has cooled down.

Circuit Maintenance Instructions

1. Rules to be obeyed before a circuit is repaired:

(a) Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the

battery before electrical maintenance is performed.

(b) When inspection and maintenance work requires

disconnecting the battery, make absolutely sure to

disconnect the negative (-) cable of the battery and that

it is connected to the vehicle body as grounding.

(c) To prevent damaging the wiring terminal of the battery,

loosen the cable's fixing nut and lift up the cable, but

do not forcefully twist or press the cable.

(d) When cleaning up the battery's and the cable's connecting

terminals, make sure to use a special rag, and do not use a

file or other rough material to wipe them.

(e) While connecting the connecting terminals of the cable

and battery, loosen the nuts first, then tighten them

after installation. Do not hammer the cable's connecting

terminals into the battery with a hammer.

(f) If the battery's ground cable has not yet been

disconnected, please do not try to speed charge the

battery, as this could damage the alternator's diode.

(g) Should the battery's ground cable be disconnected,

please do not try to start the engine, as this could

seriously damage the wire.

(h) Make sure to properly cover the battery's positive (+)

end cover.
