IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Driving
Check around the Vehicle before Starting the Engine
Before pulling away, perform a thorough safety check, making sure there are no children or
obstructions around the vehicle.
WARNING

•Before starting the engine, make sure there is no


flammable material under or around the vehicle.

The presence of any such material could lead to a


fire. If there is any wood within 50 cm (20 in)
from the vehicle's heat source, it would represent

a severe hazard as the wood could deform or


discolor from the heat it could catch fire.

Start the engine


→Refer to page 4-4

Be Careful about Exhaust Emissions

WARNING
• Exhaust emissions contain carbon monoxide, which is colorless, odorless and
poisonous. If you inhale exhaust emissions, you may suffer carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Do not keep the engine running for any length of time in a place that is poorly
ventilated. It is particularly dangerous to run the engine in a garage or other indoor
place that could easily fill with exhaust gases because you could suffer carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Inspect the exhaust pipe from time to time. If you notice any abnormality (for
example, a damaged joint, or a hole or crack caused by corrosion), have checks and
maintenance performed by the nearest Isuzu Supplier. Continuing to use the vehicle
without having the defect repaired would be dangerous because exhaust gases could
get into the cab and cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

2-4 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Whether to Use the Specified Fuel

CAUTION

• The use of the fuel other than ultralow sulfur diesel and low sulfur diesel may have an adverse
effect on engine and exhaust gas cleaning equipment (urea SCR) and cause fault. If you
accidentally put the wrong fuel in the tank, drain it all out. Engine Starting Method with the wrong
fuel in the tank could result in a fire or engine damage.
• Using diesel fuel other than low-sulfur diesel fuel or low-sulfur diesel fuel could prevent the
vehicle from complying with local legal requirements.
• Open the fuel tank filler cap slowly. If you open it quickly, fuel may spurt out.

ADIVCE

• Be sure to use low-sulfur diesel fuel or low-sulfur diesel fuel.


The ultralow sulfur diesel (sulfur content less than 50ppm) is recommended. If you supply the
vehicle with poor-quality fuel, water-removing additive or other additive, gasoline, kerosene or
alcohol-based fuel, it could harm the fuel filter, prevent proper movement of fuel-lubricated parts
in the injectors and adversely affect the engine and PM catalytic converter possibly resulting in a
breakdown.

NOTE

• The specifications of diesel fuel


differ according to the climate and
region.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-5

Load Cargo Correctly

WARNING
• Overloading can result in an accident
because it places too much strain on the
wheel bolts with the result that they
break and the wheels come off.

CAUTION

• It is extremely dangerous to overload the vehicle or to load the vehicle with the cargo positioned
on one side. Load the vehicle correctly, observing the maximum loading capacity. Incorrect
loading can make the cargo unstable. It can also cause overload condition confined to a small area,
resulting in damage to the cargo bed and frame.
• Overloading places undue strain on vehicle parts. It can shorten the vehicle's service life and
cause an accident.
2-6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Precautions while loading Correct Wrong


Do not place cargo only at the front or
only at the rear. Distribute it evenly.

When using supports under cargo,


position them uniformly along the cargo.

To the greatest extent possible, do not


allow long cargo to protrude beyond the
rear edge of the cargo bed. Rather, use
supports to raise it at an angle. Avoid
supporting it using just the front guard
frame and the rear edge of the cargo bed.
Use ropes and tarpaulins to secure the
cargo so it does not fall off the cargo bed.
Use rubber bands or bungee cords to
prevent the tarpaulins from flapping in
the wind.
Avoid loading cargo too high. It can
cause the vehicle to tip sideways when it
catches sidewinds and when turning the
vehicle.

Loading Heavy Cargo

CAUTION

• When the cargo is heavy, take steps to


prevent it from slipping and secure it
with wire cables.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-7

Do Not Secure Cargo Too Tightly

ADVICE

• To prevent cargo from falling off the


cargo bed, it is essential to secure it
with ropes and tarpaulins. However,
Full
retaining it too tightly can damage the
cargo bed's gates and front guard frame.

Make Sure There is No Flammable Material between the Cab and Cargo Bed

WARNING

• Be careful not to allow the ends of ropes


or edges of tarpaulins to come lower than
the heat protector at the back of the cab.
During vehicle operation, the engine's heat
could set them on fire. Carefully secure the
ends of ropes and edges of tarpaulins.

Air intake duct

ADVICE

• In order to prevent the cover cloth or


hood jamming the air intake duct, please
fix it with rubber, etc. In the case that the
air intake duct is jammed, the engine will
be adversely affected to cause inadequate
output power and other faults.

Cover cloth, hood


2-8 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Economical Driving

Driving too fast, driving so slowly that the engine


knocks, driving with the exhaust brake switched on all
the time, and frequently using the exhaust brake to
adjust your speed lead to poor fuel economy. To the
greatest extent possible, drive at a constant speed.
When accelerating, increase your speed gently and
slowly, and upshift early. Warming up the engine for
longer than necessary and revving the engine are a
waste of fuel. Driving with the vehicle overloaded is
also a waste of fuel.
Frequently check the tire pressures and make sure they
are always correct.

Unloading Cargo

CAUTION

• When you load or unload cargo at the roadside


and the cargo bed's gates or other body parts
obscure the tail lights, stop lights, hazard
warning flashers, turn signal lights and/or
reflectors, be sure to warn other drivers and road
users by placing signs or emergency warning
triangles where they are easy to see.
• When you load or unload cargo at the roadside,
select a place where stopping and parking are
allowed and other drivers and passersby will not
be inconvenienced.

Do Not Carry Fuel and Spray Cans in the Cab

WARNING

• It is extremely dangerous to carry fuel and


spray cans in the cab. If such a container were to
ignite or rupture, it could cause a fire or
explosion.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-9

Keep the Floor around the Driver's Seat Clean and Tidy

WARNING

• It is extremely dangerous to have empty cans, empty


bottles or other items rolling around on the floor because
they could get trapped under the brake pedal and prevent
brake application. For proper pedal operation, it is also
essential to lay floor mats properly. Otherwise, secure
operation of each pedal cannot be performed.
• Do not use the dashboard pocket or the top of the
dashboard as a place to put items that could roll, which
could interfere with your driving.

Whether the floor mat is laid properly

WARNING

• Please lay the floor mat appropriate to the


vehicle model. If the pedal is covered or the floor
mat is re-laid, the floor mat may hang on each
pedal to affect the vehicle operation and cause
the safety accident.

Correct Driving Posture

WARNING

• Before driving, be sure to adjust the seat, steering wheel and mirrors to positions that give
you a correct driving posture. Make sure the seat is securely retained by trying to rock it
forward and backward, and put on the seat belt. All other passengers must wear seat belts.

the driver, all other passengers must wear seat belts.
• For a child who is so small that the seat belt touches his/her face or does not rest across his/her
hips, use a child seat or other suitable restraint, not the seat belt. Using the seat belt could be
dangerous.
Carrying Children → Refer to page 2-12
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-11

WARNING

• When you have adjusted the steering wheel, try pulling the steering wheel up and down to check
that it is securely locked in position before driving.
• Adjust the position of the steering wheel before you start driving. Adjusting the position of the
steering wheel while driving would be extremely dangerous because the steering wheel would
rattle up and down, preventing precise steering.
Fully Adjustable Steering→Refer to page 3-14

Carrying an Expectant Mother or a Person Who is Ill

Upper safety belt WARNING

• An expectant mother or a person who is ill riding in the


Waist-belt vehicle must also wear a seat belt.
In light of the risk that the seat belt will apply pressure to the
abdomen, chest and shoulders in the event of a collision,
however, an expectant mother or a person who is ill should
get advice from a physician beforehand.
• An expectant mother should use a three-point seat belt.
- An expectant mother should position the lap belt snugly as
low as possible on the hips (not across the abdomen). Also,
she should fasten the shoulder belt so it rests on her chest, not
on her abdomen.
- Unless the seat belt is correctly worn, it may dig into the
abdomen in the event of hard braking or a collision, harming
not only the expectant mother but also the unborn child,
putting them both in danger of serious injuries or death.
Carrying Children→Refer to page 2-12
2-12 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Carrying Children

Using Seat Belts with Children

WARNING

• The vehicle's seat belts are designed for adults. If a seat belt touches a child's neck or chin, or
does not rest across his/her hips, or who is less than six years old, use a baby seat, child seat or
junior seat. If the seat belt were used as it is, it could apply intense pressure to the child's abdomen
in the event of a collision. A small child who is not able to sit up by him/herself must be placed in
a child seat.

NOTE

• The appropriate type of baby seat, child seat or junior seat and the proper installation for it
depend upon the weight and height of the child.
It may not be possible to correctly fit certain child seats depending on their shapes. Be sure to use
a child seat that is suitable for the vehicle.
* For detailed instructions, see the instruction manual supplied with the baby seat, child seat or
junior seat.

Seat Belt→ Refer to page 3-17


IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-13

Do not Leave a Child Alone in the Vehicle

WARNING

• When you leave the vehicle, take the child with you. If
you leave the child alone in the cab, the child could
interfere with things, causing vehicle movement, a fire or
some other accident. Also, the cab inside could become
dangerously hot when heated by the sun.

Do not Allow a Child to Put His/Her Head or Hands out of the Window

WARNING

• Regardless of whether the vehicle is moving or


stationary, you must never allow a child to put his/her
head, hands, or other body parts out of the window.
Allowing such behavior would be dangerous because the
child could hit an obstacle.

An Adult must Open, Close, and Lock the Door for a Child

WARNING

• To protect the child from the danger of getting his/her


hands and head trapped, an adult must open, close and lock

2-14 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Driving

Check around the Vehicle before Starting the Engine

Before pulling away, perform a thorough safety check,


making sure there are no children or obstructions around
the vehicle. Because the rearview mirror has dead angle,
it may not be safe when viewing only by the rearview
mirror.

WARNING

• Before starting the engine, make sure there is no


flammable material under or around the vehicle. The
presence of any such material could lead to a fire.
• Pay attention to exhaust gas temperature during
idling and especially while using PTO.

Engine Starting Method → Refer to page 4-4

Be Careful about Exhaust Emissions

WARNING

• Exhaust emissions contain carbon monoxide, which is colorless, odorless and poisonous. If you
inhale exhaust emissions, you may suffer carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not keep the engine running for any length of time in a place that is poorly ventilated. It is
particularly dangerous to run the engine in a garage or other indoor place that could easily fill with
exhaust gases because you could suffer carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Inspect the exhaust pipe from time to time. If you notice any abnormality (for example, a
damaged joint, or a hole or crack caused by corrosion), have checks and maintenance performed
by the nearest Isuzu Supplier. Continuing to use the vehicle without having the defect repaired
would be dangerous because exhaust gases could get into the cab and cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• If exhaust gases get into the cab, completely open all of the windows and place the inside/outside
air selector of the heater or air conditioner to outside air. Promptly have checks and maintenance
performed by the nearest Isuzu Supplier. Continuing to use the vehicle without having the defect
repaired would be dangerous because exhaust gases could get into the cab and cause carbon
monoxide poisoning.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-15

Starting the Engine

CAUTION

• Make sure the parking brake lever is firmly pulled,


make sure the gearshift lever is in "N", and fully press
the clutch pedal before starting the engine.
• Be sure to sit in the driver's seat to start the engine. If
you are not sitting in the driver's seat (if, for example,
you reach through the window or through the door
opening), you cannot check the gearshift lever position.
If you start the engine with the transmission in any
position other than "N", the vehicle would move.

Engine Starting Method → Refer to page 4-4

If the Vehicle Has Not Been Driven for a Long Period

ADVICE

• Before using a vehicle that has not been driven for a long period, check the engine and
transmission for oil leakage, and make sure the oil is at the required levels. If there is insufficient
oil, it will not adequately reach and lubricate components, and a breakdown will result.
• For the vehicle which has not been used for more than one year, please replace the urea before
use (AdBlue®). Otherwise, the urea SCR system will be in failure.
• Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least five minutes. Check for abnormal noises.
Please refer to "Engine Starting Method" on page 4-4 for engine warming-up.

NOTE

[AdBlue®]
• AdBlue® is a registered trademark of German Automobile Industry Association (VDA).
2-16 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Recommendations for Warming Up the Engine

The engine is sufficiently warmed up when the needle of the


engine coolant temperature gauge starts to move.

ADVICE

• Plase set the neutral gear during engine warming-up. In


case of engine warming-up not at neutral gear, it may
damage to transmission or the vehicle running.
• Do not rev the engine or quickly accelerate before the
engine has sufficiently warmed up (in other words, when
the engine is cold). Oil would not have adequately reached
and lubricated components, so a breakdown would result.
The exhaust pipe becomes extremely hot while the engine
is idling. Before warming up the engine, make sure there
is no flammable material (for example, grass, waste paper,
oil or old tires) near the exhaust pipe.

Do not Run the Engine in a Garage

WARNING

• Running the engine in a poorly ventilated place can lead


to carbon monoxide poisoning. Start and warm up the
engine only in places that have good ventilation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-17

Do not Forget to Release the Parking Brake

ADVICE

• Pulling away with the parking brake still applied


can damage the brake system.
• Make sure that the parking brake has been released
before moving away.

Parking Brake Lever → Refer to page 4-75


Parking Brake Warning Lamp → Refer to page 4-40

Pulling Away in a Manual Transmission Model

ADVICE

• Pull away gently in second gear or lower (first gear on a slope). Pulling away in a high gear,
pulling away rapidly or slipping the clutch for a long time while pulling away would damage the
clutch.
2-18 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Appropriate Gearshifts

ADVICE

• Downshifts are performed for two main purposes:


- For engine braking on a steep and/or long downward
slope.
- For responsiveness and economy on an uphill slope
[Cautions for downshifts]
• Allowing the engine to overrun can result in engine
damage. Do not allow the engine to overrun when
downshifting.
To reduce the gear, please reduce one gear at each
time. Otherwise, the transmission may be in failure.
[Driving uphill]
• Downshift early to avoid heavy engine load.
[Driving downhill]
• In principle, you should use the same gear(s) that you
used to drive up the hill. Drive at a speed that does not
cause the engine to overrun (exceed its r/min limit) and
the tachometer needle to enter the red zone.
Drive at a speed that does not cause the tachometer needle to enter the red zone.

Parking Brake Lever → Refer to page 4-75


Parking Brake Warning Lamp → Refer to page 4-40

NOTE

[What is engine brake?]


• Engine brake is the braking effect that occurs when you release the accelerator pedal while
driving. The lower the gear, the stronger the engine brake.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-19

Never Stop the Engine While Driving

ADVICE

Lock
• Do not place the ignition switch in any position other
than "ON" while driving.
• If the engine stops while the vehicle is moving, the
brakes would work poorly, and the steering wheel and
clutch pedal would become extremely stiff and hard to
operate. Also, the engine could be damaged.
• Stopping the engine while driving would be extremely
dangerous because the warning lamps, indicator lights
and other electrical circuitry would completely stop
working.
• Placing the ignition switch in the "LOCK" position
while driving would be extremely dangerous because the
key could come out, causing the steering wheel to lock
so that you could not turn it.
Steering Wheel→ Refer to page 4-62

Do not Use the Bed While the Vehicle is Moving

CAUTION

• It is not possible to hold a person's body in position on the bed. Using the bed while the vehicle
is moving would be dangerous because the occupant of the bed could be thrown out of the bed in
the event of a collision or hard braking.

Driving Down a Long Slope

When driving down a long slope, select an appropriate


gear to take advantage of engine brake and use the
exhaust brake together with the foot brakes.
Using the exhaust brake and low-gear engine brake
reduces the workload on the foot brakes and yields
greater braking force. However, please pay attention to
the engine operation at overspeed.

ADVICE

• Frequent use of the foot brakes can cause brake fade,


resulting in reduced brake effectiveness. Even so, use the
foot brakes appropriately to prevent engine overrun.
• Do not adjust the exhaust brake valve.
2-20 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

NOTE

[What is engine brake?]


• Engine brake is the braking effect that occurs when you release the accelerator pedal while
driving. The lower the gear, the stronger the engine brake.
[What is brake fade?]
• Frequent use of the brakes can cause the brakes to overheat so that the frictional force of the
friction surface decreases and the brakes become less effective than normal. This phenomenon is
called brake fade.
[What is an engine overrun?]
• An engine overrun is an engine-speed increase that causes the tachometer needle to enter the red
zone.
Running Uphill and Downhill→ Refer to page 6-3

Driving in Bad Weather (Rain, Icy Roads, Snowy Roads, etc.)

CAUTION

• In bad weather, visibility is reduced and slippery road


surfaces increase stopping distances. Drive more slowly
than you would in good weather. Also, avoid sharp turns
of the steering wheel and hard braking. Use engine
brakes together with the foot brakes to decelerate. Using
the exhaust brake on a slippery road surface could cause
the tires to slip. Avoid using the exhaust brake in such
conditions.

ADVICE

• There is a risk of hydroplaning, particularly where water tends to collect on the road surface.
Drive at speeds that allow you to stay in complete control.
• If you cannot avoid driving on a flooded road, first check the depth of the water and then drive
through the water at a slow, constant speed.

NOTE

[What is hydroplaning?]
• If a vehicle is driven at high speed on a road that is covered with water, a layer of water can form
between the tires and road surface, causing the tires to lose their grip and slide across the water.
This phenomenon is called hydroplaning. It is dangerous because it makes the steering wheel and
brakes useless.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-21

When the Vehicle Has Been Driven on a Flooded Road or Washed

CAUTION
Check the
brake!
• If the vehicle must be driven on a flooded road or is
parked in an area that becomes flooded, promptly have
your Isuzu Supplier perform a check for the following
points:
- Engine damage due to wateringress
- Shorting of electrical components
- Effectiveness of the brakes
- Water-ingress or damage to drum brakes, or wheel
parking brake chamber
- Clutch release bearing (When water influx is
suspected, replace release bearing)
- Oil level and degradation (cloudiness) of the engine,
transmission, differential and transfer case
- Greasing of each components (lubrication)
• If the vehicle must be driven on a flooded road, is
washed, or is parked in an area that becomes flooded,
water can get into the brakes and reduce their
effectiveness. If the brakes do not work well afterward,
drive slowly and gently press the brake pedal several
times until the brakes dry out and start working
normally.

Sidewinds

ADVICE

If the vehicle catches a sidewind and drifts sideways, firmly grip the steering wheel, decelerate to
a speed that allows you to stay completely in control and make a directional correction. The
vehicle may catch strong sidewinds in the following situations:
• Emerging from a tunnel; driving over a bridge, driving on an embankment or driving through a
cutting;
• Being overtaken by a large truck or bus;
• Overtaking a large truck or bus.
2-22 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Dealing with a Blowout or Flat Tire While Driving

WARNING

• If you feel any abnormality in a tire while driving,


immediately stop in a safe place. If you continue to drive
on a flat tire, undue force would be applied to the wheel
bolts, possibly causing the bolts to break and the wheel
to come off.

ADVICE

• If a blowout or flat tire occurs while you are driving, calmly grip the steering wheel and
gradually apply the brakes to decelerate. (Hard braking would be dangerous because it could cause
the steering wheel to be pulled to one side.) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and change the tire.
Spare Tire → Refer to page 7-88
Handling the Jack → Refer to page 7-5
Tire → Refer to page 7-72

If the Underside of the Vehicle Receives a Hard Bump

ADVICE

• If the underside of the vehicle receives a hard bump, stop in a safe place where the vehicle will
not obstruct traffic and check for air leakage, fuel leakage and component damage. If any part of
the vehicle is damaged or broken, promptly have the vehicle inspected and repaired by the Isuzu
Supplier.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-23

If a Warning Lamp or Indicator Lamp Comes On or Flashes

ADVICE

• If a warning lamp comes on or flashes, do not ignore it


and keep driving. Be sure to take corrective action while
referring to the explanation of the meters, warning lamps
and indicator lamps.

When the Warning Lamp is On→ Refer to page 8-17


When the Meter Shows Abnormal (Excluding Water Temperature Gauge)→ Refer to page 8-23

Stopping and Parking

ADVICE

• Choose a flat place where stopping and parking are permitted and where the vehicle will not
obstruct traffic. Firmly apply the parking brake and make sure the vehicle does not move.
Remove all dirt from the vehicle's light lenses and reflectors to ensure that the vehicle can be seen
from other vehicles.

Applying the Parking Brake

CAUTION

• Except in an emergency, do not apply the parking brake until the vehicle has come to a complete
stop. Applying the parking brake before the vehicle has stopped can cause the tires to lock or the
vehicle to spin, possibly causing an accident.
2-24 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Parking Safely on a Slope

ADVICE

• As much as possible, choose level places to park and


avoid parking on slopes. If you cannot avoid parking on
a slope, firmly apply the parking brake and make sure
the vehicle does not move. Apply chocks to the wheels
for safety. Also, leave the vehicle in gear to further
ensure that it will not move.

Napping in the Vehicle

WARNING

• It is possible to unconsciously move the gear lever and


step the accelerator pedal so as to cause accident.
Therefore, please use sleeper while taking a nap.

Keep Flammable Material away from the Vehicle

CAUTION

• The exhaust pipe is extremely hot immediately after


vehicle operation. Before parking, make sure the area is
free of flammable material (for example, grass, waste
paper, oil or old tires). Take particular care when parking
in a garage.
Danger • Use caution concerning hot exhaust gases while the
engine is idling. Be particularly careful when the power
take-off (PTO) is operating (if your vehicle is equipped
with a PTO) while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2-25

Do not Touch the Gearshift Lever While the Vehicle is Stationary

WARNING

• Do not touch the gearshift lever while the vehicle is stationary with the engine idling. If you
touch the gearshift lever at this time, a gear could be selected and the vehicle could move even
with parking brake applied. The risk of knocking against the gearshift lever and causing an
accident is particularly great when you move in or out of your seat.

Be Sure to Have the Engine Running When the Vehicle is Moving

WARNING

• When the engine is not running, the power steering system does not work so the steering wheel is
hard to turn. Also, the braking system does not work so there is little braking ability. If you coast
down a slope without the engine running, you would not be able to properly control the vehicle
and could have an accident.

Look around before Opening a Door

CAUTION

• Before opening a door, check the area around the


vehicle by looking forward, rearward and to the sides. If
you suddenly open a door without checking the
surrounding area, the door could hit by a vehicle
following you or a pedestria.
2-26 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Fuel Tank Filler Cap

WARNING

• Be sure to place the ignition switch in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position to shut down the engine
before refueling the vehicle. Refueling while the engine is running could cause a fire in your
vehicle.
• When refueling, never smoke or place any ignition source nearby. There is a risk of fire.
After refueling, make sure that the fuel tank filler cap is tightly closed.

CAUTION

• The use of other fuels than ultralow sulfur diesel and low sulfur diesel may have an adverse
effect on engine and tail gas purifier (urea SCR) and cause fault.
• Using diesel fuel other than low-sulfur diesel fuel could prevent the vehicle from complying with
local legal requirements.
• Open the fuel tank filler cap slowly. If you open it quickly, fuel may spurt out.
• When refueling the vehicle, keep the nozzle pushed fully into the filler neck. Trying to add more
fuel by pumping fuel with the nozzle partially withdrawn is dangerous because the auto-stop
mechanism may not work, resulting in an overflow of fuel.

ADVICE

• The fuel must be ultralow sulfur diesel and low sulfur diesel.
Be sure to use low-sulfur diesel fuel (containing sulfur of 50 ppm or lower). If you supply the
vehicle with poor-quality fuel, water-removing additive or other additive, gasoline, kerosene or
alcohol-based fuel, it could harm the fuel filter, prevent proper movement of fuel-lubricated parts
in the injectors and adversely affect the engine and PM catalytic converter possibly resulting in a
breakdown.

How to Open and Close the Fuel Tank Filler Cap


① Eliminate static from your body before opening the
Open fuel tank filler cap.
② Slowly turn the cap counterclockwise to open it.
Close ③ Refuel the tank.

Urea Tank

WARNING

• Never add other substances than the urea (AdBlue®) in urea tank. Please use and fill the
Qingling assigned urea (AdBlue®) in the urea tank.
If other substances than the urea (AdBlue®) is filled, the fault of SCR system may be caused.

ADVICE

• Please pay attention to the filling of urea (AdBlue®) and maintain water full. The engine will not
start once the urea (AdBlue®) is used up.
• Never mix dirt in urea tank while uncovering the urea tank. The entry of any dirt will jam the
urea filter, affect the quality of urea (AdBlue®) and cause the fault of urea SCR system.
• During running, the urea (AdBlue®) may leak from vent pipe. In addition, the frozen urea
(AdBlue®) may damage the sensor or other components.
• The urea (AdBlue®) may rust the body or frame if it overflows to body or frame. Therefore, any
overflowing urea (AdBlue®) shall be wiped and cleaned by clear water
• Never step or sit on the urea tank. This may cause the damage of urea tank, pipeline, sensor and
other components.
• Never modify the exhaust pipe or muffler or move the position of urea tank. This may affect the
tail gas purification performance. If the modification or movement is unavoidable, please contact
the "ISUZU supplier".

NOTE

• Normal urea (AdBlue®) is colorless, transparent, nontoxic and odorous.


• The urea (AdBlue®) will become white powder after dried. Any powdery urea shall be wiped
from the filler port and cannot be filled into the urea tank.
• After the engine stops, sometimes you may hear the operation sound of urea tank or urea supply
unit. This is normal because such sound shows that the urea (AdBlue®) is flowing back to the urea
tank.
• It will take some time for the urea meter to set normal indicating after adding urea when engine
running or ignition on the position "ON".

DOORS, WINDOWS AND SEATS 3-11

WARNING

• Adjust the seat only before you start driving. Adjusting the seat while the vehicle is in motion
must be avoided not only because the unlocked seat will move back and forth unstably, preventing
you from taking the correct position, but might also cause you to lose control of the vehicle,
possibly resulting in an accident.
• When the seat is adjusted, never place your hand adjacent to the seat underside or other movable
places to prevent your finger or hand being nipped or damage.
• Never allow children to adjust their seats themselves; an adult should adjust the seat for
occupants who are children. The accident may be caused if a child adjusts the seat by himself.
After adjustment, please confirm that the seat has been firmly fixed without shaking. Otherwise
the seat may get loose during running to cause accident. Also, the seat and its safety belt may not
play their role.
• Driving with the seat excessively reclined could be very dangerous in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. Raise the seatback, and apply the seat belt correctly while sitting straight in the seat.
• Do not place a cushion or similar object between your back and the seatback. Doing so not only
affects the stability of your driving position but also prevents the seat belt from working
effectively in the event of a collision.
Do not place any objects under the seat. If there are any objects under the seat, the seat could be
locked in an improper position.
• Before making adjustments, check that the seat rails are free of anything that could obstruct the
locking of the seat. Be careful that your hand or foot does not become trapped in the seat or rails
when adjusting the seat.
• When adjusting the seat, be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or objects. Doing so
could cause injury to passengers, or damage objects.

Seat Belt

The protection provided by safety belts might be


significantly reduced if they are not fastened properly; in
certain cases, improperly fastened seat belts can even play a
role in causing injury to the wearer. Seat belts must be worn
not only by the driver but also by the passenger(s) before
the vehicle starts moving.
You should be fully acquainted with the proper use of seat
belts and important points to be respected as described
below. Familiarizing yourself with the correct use of seat
belts is essential for your safety.

WARNING

• Seat belts must always be fastened BEFORE starting to drive.


• Seat belts provide full protection only when the driver and passenger(s) fasten them while sitting
upright and fully back on the seat.
• Wearing a seat belt with the seatback excessively reclined could be very dangerous in a collision
or sudden stop since the occupant may slide under the belt and be seriously injured. Seat belts
work best only when the occupant is sitting well back and straight up in the seat.
• Be sure to insert the latch plate into the buckle until a click is heard. An incompletely inserted
latch plate is dangerous in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
• Wear the seat belt as low as possible around the hips, not around the waist. A seat belt running
over the waist would press the abdomen with a strong force and could increase the likelihood of
injuries in a collision or sudden stop.
• Do not use a seat belt for a small child if the belt is on or very close to the child's neck or chin.
Also, do not use a seat belt if it does not fit snugly over the child's hips because restraining the
child under those conditions could be dangerous in the event of a collision or sudden stop. Instead,
use an appropriate child restraint system available on the market. For further details, please
contact your Isuzu Supplier.
• Use a child restraint system that fits the size of the infant or child. Install the system according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
• Remove any twists in the seat belt before fastening it. A seat belt with twists will not provide full
protection because it cannot disperse shocks efficiently in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
• Pregnant women or people suffering from chest or abdominal conditions should check with their
doctor for specific recommendations about wearing seat belts.
• Do not use one seat belt for more than one person. If worn by more than one person, the seat belt
would not work effectively in a collision or sudden stop.
• Have seat belts inspected and, if necessary, replaced by your Isuzu Supplier when the webbing
becomes frayed or worn and/or when the buckle or other mechanical parts fail to work properly.
• If your vehicle has been involved in a collision, the seat belts worn at the time may have lost
their original strength due to impact even if they appear intact. These seat belts must be inspected
and, if necessary, replaced by your Isuzu Supplier.
• Be careful to keep the buckles and retractors free of dust and foreign matter.
• Wearing seat belts is a legal requirement in most countries. The driver is responsible not only for
wearing a seat belt himself/herself but also for prompting all passengers to wear their seat belts. It
is necessary, however, to check with a doctor about the appropriateness of a seat belt for a
pregnant woman or a passenger with a chest/abdominal condition.

To Fasten

① Sit on the seat in the correct driving position.


② Pull out the seat belt holding the latch plate. After
checking that there are no twists in the belt, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
③ Position the lap belt so that it snugly fits as low as
possible on the hips.

DOORS, WINDOWS AND SEATS 3-19

ADVICE

• While being automatically retracted, the seat belt could damage a nearby window or interior
trim unless the latch plate is properly held. Hold the latch plate to ensure that the belt is taken up
slowly.
• Before closing the door, check that the retracted seat belt is taut. A slack belt could become
trapped in the door or seat rail.
• When the passenger's seat belt is fully taken up (or not pulled out), check that the stopper is
holding the belt in a fully taut state.

NOTE

• The three-point seat belts are provided with an emergency locking retractor (ELR) function.
The safety belt of driver's seat is also provided with load limiter function.
[ELR function]
• The ELR normally allows the seat belt to move in and out freely as the occupant moves.
However, it locks the seat belt to restrain the occupant when a forward force resulting from a
collision or sudden stop acts on the occupant.
• The ELR also locks the seat belt when the belt is pulled out quickly. If this happens, allow it to
retract once and then pull it out slowly.

• If the parking brake has no effect when the parking brake lever is pulled, then the parking brake
has failed even if the warning lamp comes on and goes off normally.
• If the parking brake warning lamp remains on when the parking brake lever is released, a brake
failure or a drop in air pressure may be the cause. Check the air pressure for correct level.
• If the air pressure level is abnormal, immediately contact the nearest Isuzu Supplier.
• If a vehicle has to be moved (when it causes traffic jam), forcibly release the parking brake when
the air pressure recovers normal, move the vehicle to a safe place, provide front and rear wheels

Exhaust brake switch

While turning the control lever to inside during running, the


exhaust brake can be activated. And then, the exhaust brake
indicator lamp will be on.
While stepping accelerator pedal or clutch pedal, the exhaust
brake will be deactivated; while releasing the pedal, the
exhaust brake will be activated again. It should be noted that
the exhaust brake cannot start when the vehicle is immobile or
runs at a low speed.

Exhaust brake indicator lamp

CAUTION

• When the exhaust brake is started on the slippery road (snowy, frozen and wet road), this may
cause tire to slip. This is very dangerous.

NOTE

• The exhaust brake can improve the braking effect of engine, so it can be used as auxiliary brake
when going downhill or running at a high speed.
• When the exhaust brake switch is activated for long or the exhaust brake is frequently used to
adjust vehicle speed, this may increase the oil consumption.
CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS 4-95

ABS

The ABS prevents the wheels from locking during braking by sensing a skid and thus helps
maintain directional and control stability of the vehicle.

NOTE

• ABS stands for Anti-lock Brake System.

WARNING

• In the case of changing different tire size, please consult the ISUZU supplier.

CAUTION

• ABS can guarantee driving safely on any status. Please drive the vehicle at a safe seed. Please
use same size and same brand, same design of tires. It use different tires will can not keep normal
breaking distance and reduce vehicle control stability. This is too much dangerus case.

Please contact the ISUZU supplier.

NOTE

• Even if a problem has occurred with the ABS, the regular brakes still work normally. However,
ABS will not operate.
CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS 4-97

Precautions for Driving an ABS-Equipped Vehicle

ABS is not a device that enables driving and stopping under conditions exceeding safe
driving limits. It is your responsibility to drive safely.

CAUTION

• The braking distance on slippery road surfaces is longer than that on a normal dry paved road
even with an ABS-equipped vehicle. When ABS is activated in the following road surface
conditions, the braking distance may be slightly longer compared to that of vehicles not equipped
with an ABS. Therefore, always be aware of the road and tire condition (tire type and wear
condition), observe safe driving habits, and drive the vehicle while keeping a safe following
distance.
- Driving on a gravel road and deeply snow-covered road
- When tire chains are used
- When driving over road joints or steps such as cat's-eyes
- When driving on a bumpy road, stone-paved road or track
- When driving on an iron plate or manhole lid
• ABS does not work for wheel skid during a standing start, acceleration and cornering which do
not involve braking. On a very slippery icy road, tires may lose their grip and the steering wheel
operation may not be able to control the vehicle's direction, resulting in very unstable driving.
Always drive the vehicle observing a safe speed well matched with both road surface and tire
conditions, and avoid sudden braking.
• If powerful engine braking is applied on a very slippery icy road, the drive wheels may be locked
(the ABS then does not work), resulting in loss of vehicle control. If this happens, disengage the
clutch or place the gearshift lever into "N" to prevent engine braking from acting on the drive
wheels. Then, drive the vehicle with the gearshift lever placed in an appropriate gear.
• ABS operation consumes the brake system air. When the air pressure drops and the air pressure
warning lamp and the buzzer are activated, immediately stop the vehicle at a safe place and wait
for the required air pressure to be recovered before driving.
• When ABS is activated, slight vibration and pull to one side may be felt on the steering wheel
(especially when the road surface condition is different between right and left wheels). In addition,
an operating sound is produced from the ABS actuators. This does not indicate any abnormal
condition. Stay calm and operate the steering wheel properly.

PTO Switch ★

This switch can control the connection and


disconnection of PTO. Be sure to operate PTO switch
when the vehicle is parked and the parking brake takes
effect.
Before connection or disconnection:
• For the vehicle with PTO remote throttle system,
please close the throttle completely (accelerator pedal
opening 0%).
• Don't press accelerator pedal (accelerator pedal
opening 0%).
Connection
① Keep the parking brake on and select T/M gear
Multimedia display position to neutral.
② For the vehicle with manual transmission, step the
clutch pedal to its limit, wait for about 5s, operate
PTO switch to "ON", check whether the multimedia
PTO running display shows "PTO in operation", and then slowly
connect the clutch.
Disconnection
① Move the shift lever to neutral position, enable the
engine at idle speed.
② For the vehicle with manual transmission, step the
clutch pedal to its limit, operate PTO switch to "OFF",
and check the multimedia display to see if the
message of "PTO in operation" disappears.
CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS 4-99

NOTE

• If the multimedia display fails to show "PTO in operation" after PTO switch is placed at "ON",
please move the vehicle slightly and repeat the above operations.

CAUTION

• For the vehicle with PTO remote throttle, the remote throttle and the accelerator throttle both can
be operated in order to improve working efficiency.
• If two throttles are operated at the same time, the unstable engine speed may be caused and
installation facility may produce the unexpected movement. This is very dangerous. Therefore, do
not operate two throttles at the same time.
• During running, please don't set the PTO switch at "ON" position and close the remote throttle
(throttle opening equal to 0%), because this may cause the damage of transmission.
• While the PTO is in operation, the muffler, exhaust pipe and tail pipe are very hot. As there is a
danger of burns, be careful not to touch them inadvertently. Also, be aware of pedestrians near the
vehicle, as well as plants or paper rubbish and other flammable items nearby. Otherwise, burns or
a fire could result.

ADVICE

• For the vehicle with manual transmission, the gear damage may be caused if PTO switch is
operated before disconnecting the clutch.
• Before adjusting PTO switch to "ON" or "OFF", rotate left the idling control knob to its limit, do
not step the accelerator pedal and enable the vehicle to operate at idling.
• It is necessary to confirm that the parking brake has taken effect before operating PTO switch.
• PTO can be operated via remote throttle only when the vehicle is immobile, the transmission is
placed at neutral position, the engine is operating and the accelerator pedal is not stepped.

Urea SCR system

The urea SCR system can be used to purify the nitrogen oxide (NOx) in tail gas. This system can
use the urea (AdBlue®) as a reducing agent for hydrolytic decomposition in hot tail gas so as to
produce ammonia gas (NH3). Finally, the generated ammonia gas can resolve the nitrogen oxide
(NOx) into nitrogen and water through reduction action.

WARNING

• Do not contain the substance other than urea (AdBlue®) in urea container.
• The following behaviors are forbidden in the use of urea (AdBlue®). Otherwise, the fire or urea
SCR system fault may be caused.
- Thin the solution by water or other liquids.
- Mix the solution with gasoline or other kerosene.
• If the unspecified urea (AdBlue®) is mixed in the container due to carelessness, it is necessary to
immediately check the urea SCR system. Immediately go to ISUZU supplier for inspection and
maintenance.

CAUTION

• Although the urea (AdBlue®) doesn't cause harm in contact with human body, in a few cases the
inflammation may be caused upon the different physique. Therefore, please pay attention to the
following points in the use of urea.
- If your skin is in contact with the solution due to carelessness, please wash your skin with
flowing water. Such solution may cause allergy to very few people with sensitive skin.
- If the solution is eaten due to carelessness, please drink 1~2 cups of fresh water or milk and then
see a doctor.
- If the solution is dripped into eye due to carelessness, immediately wash your eye with large
amount of water for 15 min and then see a doctor.
