SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Precautions for Checking and Adjustments
WARNING
• Make sure to turn off the engine and remove the key from the starter switch
before performing any checks.
• Pull firmly on the parking brake lever and put the transmission in neutral.
- If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in "N".
- If your vehicle is equipped with a AMT system, place the gearshift lever in "N"
and make sure the shift indicator displays "N".
• Select a place with a solid and level surface to perform the checking and
adjustment work. Make sure to chock the wheels. It would be very dangerous if
the vehicle started to move.
• When raising the vehicle, use a suitable jack, not the one provided on the
vehicle.
• After raising the vehicle and before going underneath to perform work, make
sure the vehicle is supported with jack stands.
• When performing work on the electrical system, be sure to remove the cable
from the negative terminal on the battery.
• The engine, exhaust pipe and radiator will be hot immediately after the vehicle is
driven. Be careful around these parts to prevent burns. Perform all checks when
the engine is cold.
• Do not perform work near an open flame or other heat sources.
• When working on the fuel line or fuel filter, remove the fuel tank filler cap. The
fuel system is under pressure and the fuel will overspill unless the pressure is
relieved, possibly leading to combustion or a fire.
• Do not let the engine run in poorly ventilated garages or sheds. This could cause
carbon monoxide poisoning.
CAUTION
• Discarded parts, oil, grease and fluids could have an adverse effect on the
environment. It is difficult to dispose of these, so have your Isuzu Dealer handle
all checks and replacements.
