IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Check around the Vehicle before Starting the Engine
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 defect (for
example, a damaged joint, or a hole or crack caused by corrosion), have checks
and maintenance performed by the nearest Isuzu Dealer. 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
Dealer. 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.

Driving
Be Careful about Exhaust Emissions
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 (approximately 20 in)
from the vehicle's heat source, it
would represent a severe hazard as
the wood could deform or discolor
from the heat or it could catch fire.
