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.
• Lock the parking brake lever securely in the parking position, and set the
gearshift lever in the neutral position.
• Select a place with a solid and level surface to perform the checking and
maintenance 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 disconnect the
negative battery cable.
• 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.
• 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.
