The SsangYong Korando, a name synonymous with ruggedness and capability, was a compact SUV produced by the South Korean automaker SsangYong Motor from 1983 to 2006. The 1997 to 2000 models, the subject of this service repair manual, represent the second generation of the Korando, built on a modified platform from the Mercedes-Benz G-wagen. This generation embraced a more refined design, featuring a boxy yet stylish exterior with a distinct, upright grille and squared-off headlights. However, it retained the essence of the Korando, prioritizing off-road prowess. This was achieved through a high ground clearance, a rigid ladder-frame chassis, and a strong four-wheel drive system. Power came from a selection of gasoline and diesel engines, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, catering to various driving needs.

The manual itself serves as an essential guide for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike, providing comprehensive instructions and detailed diagrams for all aspects of maintenance and repair.
