Curb Weight Estimate:
Curb weight typically ranged from approximately 1700 kg to 1900 kg, depending on configuration and engine.
Safety Certification General:
While specific crash test ratings for the 2006 Daewoo Korando are not widely publicized or may vary by region, the manual's coverage of the 'Restraint System' indicates the presence of standard safety features.
Active Safety Systems:
Likely included ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and possibly EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) on higher trims, as well as standard hydraulic power steering.
Passive Safety Features:
Dual front airbags, three-point seatbelts with pretensioners, crumple zones, and side-impact beams are standard features covered by the 'Restraint System' section.
Infotainment Systems Typical:
For a 2006 model, infotainment would likely be basic, featuring an AM/FM radio with CD player. Some higher trims might offer a cassette player or an upgraded speaker system. The manual would cover the electrical aspects of these systems.
Driver Assistance Features:
Driver assistance features were minimal in 2006. Basic features like power steering and potentially cruise control (depending on trim) would be present. The 'Engine Control System' section would cover engine management electronics.
Connectivity Options:
Connectivity was limited to basic audio inputs. No advanced Bluetooth or USB integration would be expected for this model year.
General Maintenance Schedule:
The manual covers 'General Maintenance' and 'Periodic Lubrication', which would include recommended intervals for oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, tire rotations, and other routine servicing. Typical intervals for oil changes would be around 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on oil type and driving conditions.
Engine Oil Specification:
The specific engine oil viscosity grade (e.g., 10W-30, 15W-40 for diesel) and API service classification would be detailed in the manual for each engine type. Typically, API CF or CG-4 for diesel and API SG/SH/SJ for gasoline.
