Isuzu N Series 2008 Owner's Manual page 209

AMT is a transmission system that allows the driver to move the vehicle from a
standstill, drive the vehicle with gears automatically changing and bring the vehicle
to a stop by only using the gearshift lever, accelerator pedal and brake pedal, without
needing to use the clutch pedal. Make sure you fully understand the characteristics of
the AMT system and familiarize yourself with its operation.
WARNING
• Fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from moving even if it is
stopped on a level road, and place the gearshift lever into "N" and securely set
the parking brake as needed.
• The engine speed is increased immediately after its start, while the air
conditioning is in operation or the diesel particulate defuser (DPD) is being
regenerated. This makes the transmission produce a stronger creeping force
than usual. You need to firmly depress the brake pedal.
NOTE
• If the vehicle is equipped with an idling control knob, the clutch engagement
shock may become significant when the engine speed is increased using the
idling control knob. Therefore, when placing the gearshift lever into a position
other than "N", therefore, turn the idling control knob fully counterclockwise.
• You can utilize the creeping effect of the transmission to move your vehicle
smoothly in a traffic jam or in a narrow space by controlling the speed without
using the accelerator pedal but by using only the brake pedal.
