IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION
• It is very dangerous to suddenly pull back all the way on the parking brake lever
while moving at high speed. Reduce speed first by shifting down and then pull
back on the parking brake lever.
When the parking brake does not work even when you pull the parking brake lever, the
brake system has failed, regardless of whether the warning light comes on, and the
system requires repair.
When the vehicle operates properly with sufficient air pressure, you can drive the
vehicle with the foot brake alone. In that case, contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
When the Brakes Do not Work
When the Parking Brakes Do not Work
When the brakes do not work unexpectedly,
this can cause a serious accident. Reduce
speed by quickly shifting down from third
to second to first gear using the gearshift
lever. Gradually pull the parking brake
lever while firmly holding on to the steering
wheel. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. In
worst case conditions on a mountain road
or similar situations, stop the vehicle by
scraping along a guardrail or cliff, or drop
the front and rear wheels of one side into a
ditch at the side of the road.
