IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If towing the vehicle is required due to a breakdown or accident, contact the nearest
Isuzu Dealer. At that time, pay all due attention to the following.
When towing, use appropriate equipment and comply with local legal requirements.
You cannot start the engine by towing or pushing the vehicle.
1. Be sure to chock both the front and back sides of the wheels when waiting for
the towing vehicle. If the propeller shaft or the rear axle and associated part are
damaged, the parking brake may not work.
2. When it is possible to operate the steering wheel, the vehicle can be towed with
all wheels on the ground.
However, the power steering will not be able to provide any power assist when
the engine cannot be started. When the air pressure is low, the brake will not
work. In that event, either install a towing rod between the towing vehicle and the
disabled vehicle, or use a tow truck.
For vehicles with a wheel parking brake, release the spring brake manually.
When Towing
3. Shift into neutral when being
towed. When the transmission fails,
disconnect the propeller shaft before
being towed.
WARNING
• Be sure to chock the wheels when
disconnecting the propeller shaft.
The vehicle could start to move and
cause a serious accident.
4. If the rear axle fails or rear axle failure
is suspected, remove the axle shaft
and plug up the opening of the hub
to prevent differential gear oil from
leaking or to prevent dirt or foreign
objects from entering the axle.
