Isuzu Tilt Slide FYJ2000 Instruction Manual page 199

CAUTION
• The illumination of the parking brake warning light does not necessarily
ensure firm application of the parking brake. The parking brake lever must be
sufficiently pulled up to the lock position.
• When parking or stopping your vehicle, pull the parking brake lever and make
sure that the vehicle does not start moving.
• When parking the vehicle on a slope, be sure to chock the wheels.
• Moving the parking brake lever into the test position causes the trailer brakes
to disengage and the vehicle may start moving. When inspecting the braking
force, make sure to confirm the safety around the vehicle.
• Unless the parking brake is fully released during driving, a fault and/or a fire
may be caused.
• 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.
• After using the parking brake during driving, be sure to check if any failure has
been caused.
ADVICE
• If the parking brake warning light 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
Dealer.
• If the parking brake cannot be released but the air pressure is normal and you
must move the vehicle (to avoid obstructing the traffic, for example), manually
release the parking brake and move the vehicle to a safe place, chock the
wheels and then call the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
• If the parking brake has no effect when the parking brake lever is pulled, then
the parking brake has failed even if the warning light comes on and goes off
normally. In this case, you can drive the vehicle using only the service brakes
but you need to contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
