Depth:
Extremely high. Covers everything from routine maintenance to complete vehicle rebuilds and advanced diagnostics, akin to a factory shop manual.
Diagnostic Tools:
Likely includes specifications for diagnostic tools and procedures, though specific OBD-II codes or advanced scan tool functions might be limited if not a factory-original digital manual.
Engine Type:
Likely diesel (common for KB models in many markets), but gasoline variants may also exist depending on region. Manual should cover all variants for the 2007 P190.
Displacement Indicator:
Specific engine displacements (e.g., 2.5L, 3.0L) for the KB P190 would be detailed within the manual.
Horsepower Torque Range:
Specifications for horsepower and torque would be provided for each engine option covered.
Fuel Type:
Diesel and/or Gasoline (dependent on specific engine options for the P190 model).
Injection System:
Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) for diesel variants likely, with specific details on pumps, injectors, and filters.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type. Detailed schedule in manual.
Engine Oil Type:
Likely API SN/SM/SL or equivalent for gasoline, and ACEA C3 or API CI-4/CJ-4 for diesel. Manual specifies exact viscosity and API rating (e.g., 15W-40, 5W-30).
Transmission Fluid Type:
Dexron III/VI for automatic transmissions, GL-4 or GL-5 for manual transmissions. Manual provides precise specifications.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a green or orange long-life type. Manual specifies exact type and mixture ratio.
Common Problems:
While robust, common issues might include suspension wear (bushings, ball joints), potential diesel injector issues in high-mileage examples, and occasional electrical gremlins. Manual assists in diagnosing and repairing these.
Parts Replacement:
Manual will guide on replacement procedures for common wear items such as brake pads, belts, hoses, and filters.
