MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
NORMAL VEHICLE USE
The maintenance instructions contained in the mainte-
nance schedule are based on the assumption that the ve-
hicle will be used for the following reasons:
STo carry passengers and cargo within the limitation
indicated on the Tire Placard located on the edge of
the driver’s side door.
STo be driven on reasonable road surfaces and with-
in legal operating limits.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
The services listed in the maintenance schedule are fur-
ther explained below. When the following maintenance
services are performed, make sure all the parts are re-
placed and all the necessary repairs are done before driv-
ing the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubricants.
Drive Belt Inspection
When a separate belt drives the power steering pump, the
air conditioning compressor, and the generator, inspect it
for cracks, fraying, wear, and proper tension. Adjust or re-
place the belt, as needed.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
API Classifications of Engine Oil
The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee (ILSAC) and American Petroleum Institute
classifies engine oils according to their performance quali-
ty. Always use oil rated API–SJ (ILSAC GF–II) or better.
Engine Oil Viscosity
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel econ-
omy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity engine
oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather per-
formance; however, higher temperature weather condi-
tions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lu-
brication. Using oils of any viscosity other than those
viscosities recommended could result in engine damage.
Cooling System Service
Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer
to ”Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”in this section.

GENERAL INFORMATION 0B – 9
DAEWOO V–121 BL4

er damage. Check the wire boot fit at the direct ignition
system (DIS) module and at the spark plugs. Replace the
wires, as needed.
Brake System Service
Check the disc brake pads or the drum brake linings every
9,600 km (6,000 mi) or 6 months. Check the pad and the
lining thickness carefully. If the pads or the linings are not
expected to last another 9,600 km (6,000 mi), replace the
pads or the linings. Check the breather hole in the brake
fluid reservoir cap to be sure it is free from dirt and the pas-
sage is open.
Transaxle Service
The manual transaxle fluid does not require changing. For
automatic transaxles, refer to ”Scheduled Maintenance
Charts”in this section.
Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To equalize
wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the tires. If irreg-
ular or premature wear exists, check the wheel alignment
and check for damaged wheels. While the tires and
wheels are removed, inspect the brakes. Refer to ”Each
Time The Oil Is Changed”in this section.

OWNER INSPECTIONS AND
SERVICES
WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Horn Operation
Blow the horn occasionally to make sure it works. Check
all the button locations.
Brake System Operation
Be alert for abnormal sounds, increased brake pedal trav-
el, or repeated pulling to one side when braking. Also, if the
brake warning light goes on or flashes, something may be
wrong with part of the brake system.
Exhaust System Operation
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the system or the
smell of the fumes. These are signs that the system may
be leaking or overheating. Have the system inspected and
repaired immediately.
Tires,Wheels and Alignment Operation
Be alert to any vibration of the steering wheel or the seats
at normal highway speeds. This may mean a wheel needs
to be balanced. Also, a pull to the right or the left on a
straight, level road may show the need for a tire pressure
adjustment or a wheel alignment.
Steering System Operation
Be alert to changes in the steering action. An inspection
is needed when the steering wheel is hard to turn, has too
much free play, or if unusual sounds are noticed when
turning or parking.
Headlamp Aim
Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the
headlamps if the beams seem improperly aimed.
AT EACH FUEL FILL
A fluid loss in any (except windshield washer) system may
indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and re-
paired immediately.
Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level and add oil, if necessary. The best time
to check the engine oil level is when the oil is warm.
1. After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
2. Pull out the oil level indicator (dipstick).
3. Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back
down all the way.
4. Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil lev-
el on it.
5. Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the
MIN line and within the area labeled ”Operating
Range.” Avoid overfilling the engine, since this may
cause engine damage.
6. Push the indicator all the way back down into the
engine after taking the reading.
If checking the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the
engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast
enough to give a true oil level reading.
Engine Coolant Level and Condition
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank and
add coolant, if necessary. Inspect the coolant. Replace
dirty or rusty coolant.
Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Check the washer fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid, if
necessary.
AT LEAST MONTHLY
Tire and Wheel Inspection and Pressure
Check
Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. Also, check
for damaged wheels. Check the tire pressure when the
tires are cold (check the spare tire, unless it is a stow-
away). Maintain the recommended pressures that are on
the tire placard that is on the driver’s side door.
Lamp Operation
Check the operation of the license plate lamp, the head-
lamps (including the high beams), the parking lamps, the
fog lamps, the taillamp, the brake lamps, the turn signals,
the backup lamps, and the hazardwarning flasher.
Fluid Leak Check
Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for
water, oil, fuel or other fluids, after the vehicle has been
parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal. If you notice fuel leaks or
fumes, find the cause and correct it immediately.
AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR
Power Steering System Reservoir Level
Check the power steering fluid level. Keep the power
steering fluid at the proper level. Refer to Section 6A, Pow-
er Steering System.
Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Level
Check the fluid and keep it at the proper level. A low fluid
level can indicate worn disc brake pads andmay need to
be serviced. Check the breather hole in the reservoir cover
that it is free from dirt and check for an open passage.
Clutch Pedal Free Travel
Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust, as necessary,
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles). Measure the distance
from the center of the clutch pedal to the outer edge of the

GENERAL INFORMATION 0B – 13
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
steering wheel with the clutch pedal not pressed. Then,
measure the distance from the center of the clutch pedal
to the outer edge of the steering wheel with the clutch ped-
al fully pressed. The difference between the two values
must be greater than 130 mm (5.1 in.).
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Apply a thin film of silicone grease using a clean cloth.
EACH TIME THE OIL IS CHANGED
Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Refer to”Transaxle Fluid Level Checking Procedure”in-
Section 5A, 4T40E Automatic Transaxle.
Manual Transaxle
Check the fluid level and add fluid, as required. Refer
toSection 5B, Five–Speed Manual Transaxle.
Brake System Inspection
This inspection should be done when the wheels are re-
moved for rotation. Inspect the lines and the hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. In-
spect the disc brake pads for wear. Inspect the rotors for
surface condition. Also, inspect the drum brake linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including the
drums, the wheels cylinders, the parking brake, etc., at the
same time. Check the parking brake adjustment. Inspect
the brakes more often if habit or conditions result in fre-
quent braking.
Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle
Boot and Seal Inspection
Inspect the front and the rear suspension and the steering
system for damaged, loose, or missing parts; signs of
wear; or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering
lines and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks and chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle
boot and seals for damage, tears, or leakage. Replace the
seals, if necessary.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic con-
verter, if equipped). Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or out of
position parts, as well as open seams, holes, loose con-
nections, or other conditions which could cause heat build-
up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the
trunk or passenger compartment.
Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
damaged or missing parts. Lubricate all linkage joints and
throttle cable joints, the intermediate throttle shaft bearing,
the return spring at the throttle valve assembly, and the ac-
celerator pedal sliding face with suitable grease. Check
the throttle cable for free movement.
Engine Drive Belts
Inspect all belts for cracks, fraying, wear, and proper ten-
sion. Adjust or replace the belts, as needed.
Hood Latch Operation
When opening the hood, note the operation of the secon-
dary latch. It should keep the hood from opening all the
way when the primary latch is released. The hood must
close firmly.

CAUTION : Adhere to the following precautions. Fai-
luretodosocancauseinjuriesandpropertydamage.
SFirmly apply the parking brake and the regular
brakes.
SDo not use the accelerator pedal.
SBe ready to turn the ignition OFF if the vehicle
starts.
On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the engine in
each gear. The starter should crank only in P (PARK) and
in N (NEUTRAL).
Parking Brake and Transaxle P (PARK)
Mechanism Operation
CAUTION : To reduce the risk of personal injury or
property damage, be prepared to apply the regular
brakes if the vehicle begins to move.
Park on a fairly steep hillwith enough roomformovement
in the downhill direction. To check the parking brake, with
the engine running and the transaxle in N (NEUTRAL),
slowly remove foot pressure fromthe regular brake pedal
(until only the parking brake is holding the vehicle).
To check the automatic transaxle P (PARK) mechanism’s
holding ability, release all brakes after shifting the trans-
axle to P (PARK).

Underbody Flushing
Flushing the underbody will remove any corrosive materi-
als used for ice and snow removal and dust control. At
least every spring, clean the underbody. First, loosen the
sediment packed in closed areas of the vehicle. Then,
flush the underbodywith plainwater.
Engine Cooling System
Inspect the coolant and freeze protection fluid. If the fluid
is dirty or rusty, drain, flush and refill the engine cooling
system with new coolant. Keep the coolant at the proper
mixture to ensure proper freeze protection, corrosion
protection and engine operating temperature. Inspect the
hoses. Replace the cracked, swollen, or deteriorated
hoses. Tighten the clamps. Clean the outside of the radia-
tor and the air conditioning condenser. Wash the filler cap
and the neck. Pressure test the cooling system and the
cap to help ensure proper operation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
If a floor jack is used, the following precautions are recom-
mended:
SPark the vehicle on level ground, ”block” the front or
rear wheels, set the jack against the frame, raise
the vehicle and support it with chassis stands, and
then perform the service operation.
SBefore performing the service operation, disconnect
the negative battery cable to reduce the chance of
cable damage and burning due to short–circuiting.
SUse a cover on the body, the seats, and the floor to
protect them against damage and contamination.
SHandle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with care
as they can cause paint damage.
SThe use of proper tools, and the required special
tools where specified, is important for efficient and
reliable performance of the service repairs.
SUse genuine DAEWOO parts.
SDiscard used cotter pins, gaskets, O–rings, oil
seals, lock washers and self–locking nuts. Prepare
new ones for installation. Normal functioning of the
vehicle’s components cannot be maintained if these
fasteners and seals are reused.
SKeep the disassembled parts to assist in reassemb-
ly.
SKeep attaching bolts and nuts separated, as they
vary in hardness and design depending on the posi-
tion of the installation.
SClean the parts before inspection or reassembly.
SClean the oil parts, etc. Use compressed air to
make certain they are free of restrictions.
SLubricate rotating and sliding faces of parts with oil
or grease before installation.
SWhen necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to pre-
vent leakage.
SCarefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut
torques.
When service operation is complete, make a final check
to be sure service was done properly and the problem was
corrected.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR
RECOVERY SYSTEM
The NUBIRA 2.0 DOHC model is equipped with an On
Board Diagnostic Stage II (OBD–II) system to meet en-
hanced emission control requirements. Within this OBD–II
system, an On Board Refueling Vapor Recorvery (ORVR)
system has been developed and equipped to meet en-
hanced evaporative emission control requirements during
vehicle moving, parking, and refueling at gas stations. The
Daewoo ORVR system adopts one canister to collect both
evaporative vapors during the moving & parking as well as
refueling vapor. Collected vapor is consurmed by the en-
gine through the intake manfold during vehicle operation.
The mechanism of Daewoo ORVR system to meet the
ORVR requirement is to create suction inside filler neck by
the aid of fuel flow through a reduced diameter section in
the filler pipe.
Therefore, Daewoo ORVR system adopts the so called
”Liquid Trap” or ”Liquid Seal” system that assures the long
term durability.
The Daewoo ORVR system provides nozzle compatibility
with conventional and stage II vapor recovery nozzle.
The Daewoo ORVR system has been designed to have
the following functional features.
STo collect refueling vapors and to route to canister.
STo provide nozzle compatibility with conventional
and stage II vapor recovery nozzles.
STo provide fill shut off signal.
STo prevent canister from liquid fuel during normal
driving and vehicle rollover.
STo provide fuel tank venting to canister during ve-
hicle operation.
STo protect fuel tank from over–pressure.
STo protect fuel vapor dome from overfill.
Any failures or malfunction of the ORVR system will be
identified by OBD–II system and warned through Malfunc-
tion Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster.
No special refueling procedures and mainternance on
ORVR system are required.
The Daewoo ORVR system and all fuel system compo-
nents have been designed to prevent the electrostatic dis-
charge phenomenon by adopting mitigation techniques
recommended in SAE J1645. Daewoo’s own test proce-
dure (EDS–T–5005) is similar to SAE J1113.
