Chery A15. Manual - part 193

  Chery A15 Maintenance Manual 

 

Perform coating according to “Coating process 

for steel plate” in this chapter.   

In case that longitudinal or transverse   

adjustment of the front door is necessary, use tools   

for adjusting internal hinge to loosen the hinged bolts 

on the hinge with specified pressure, in a direction   

parallel with the level. Loosening should be performed   

in a slow way otherwise material fatigue may occur. Don’t 

move the tools longitudinally for damage caused   

by this can only be remedied through re-welding   

the hinge. In order to avoid cracks on coating of   

vehicle, coating wax should be applied on paint coat.   

Tighten the door after adjusting it with   

tightening torque of 56N.m. 

 

 

Note: 

After closing the door, keep the door sealed with   

the sealing strips around the opening of the door.   

If there aren’t any holes on the sealing strips to   

allow air in, or the door is subject to overpressure   

when closing, the door might not be able to be closed 

due to improper pressure. 

Remove any of the following parts after the door   

guard plate has been removed. Then proceed   

according to the instructions in “Inner lining and   

decoration”.

II. Disassembling and installing of   

  waterproof film  

Before disassembling any parts, first remove   

the waterproof coating, the lock handle and the fixing   

clamp.  

 

 

 

Be sure to apply the waterproof film in a correct 

way during assembling. Keep waterproof film   

adhering to the top, side and bottom. In this way water   

can flow out to prevent water from leaking into vehicle   

or damaging to door board.   

 

 

III. Removing the internal door handle 

The internal door handle is fixed on the   

internal door board through its own structure and   

screws. To disassemble the handle, remove the screws,   

hold the internal door handle and push it forward.

Disassembling and installing of the   

lock device

 

Disassemble the lock assembly   

1. The lock is fixed on the door frame with   

two set screws, as is shown by the arrow in   

the figure. Tightening torque is 20±2N.m. 

  Chery A15 Maintenance Manual 

Note: Apply red 

doped adhesive(紧固胶) 

on the threads when fitting these two bolts. 

2. Disassemble the lock device by removing 

the fixing clamp between control device and the   

lock device. As to the models with central lock,   

the manual locking device and the connecting   

lever between the installing position and the door   

lock motor are coupled with the same clamp.

 

 

 

Disassembling the external door handle  

Disassemble the set bolt between the handle 

and the door frame. Push the handle forward and   

remove it when it reaches an angle of 90º. 

Tightening torque for bolt is 7.2±0.2N.m. 

For the models with central lock, the electricity   

wires should be removed.   

Note: Apply 

doped adhesive(紧固胶)

 for threads   

when fitting the bolt.   

There shouldn’t be any rust, fouling or wear   

on the lock arms and the control device. Check if   

the external door handle and the corresponding lock 

body are in good condition. 

Disassembling the central door lock

 

Loosen the set screws between the central   

lock and the door frame. Disengage the stem   

completely from the lock clamp. Remove the cables   

and the servo motor.

Assembling procedures for the door parts are 

the opposite of disassembling procedures. 

 

Adjusting the slamming board 

In case that the door can’t be normally closed   

because of fault adjustment of the slamming board,   

readjust position of the slamming board. The   

adjustment operation is to loosen the slamming board   

with a 15mm wrench and move the slamming board   

as required. Tightening torque is 50±5N.m.
