IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Driving Through Water
U-turn on Sharp Slopes
When making a U-turn on a sharp slope,
the vehicle is in danger of turning over the
moment it crosses the slope. Drive carefully
selecting the road surfaces so that the tires
on the higher side of the slope may not run
on any convex part of the slope surface.
The vehicle is not completely impervious to
water. Avoid driving through water.
ADVICE
• If you cannot avoid driving through water, first check the depth of the water
and then drive through the water at a slow, constant speed. There is a risk
that water will get into the engine's cylinders and cause engine damage (water
hammering).
• If the vehicle must be driven through water, promptly have your Isuzu Dealer
perform a check for the following points:
- Effectiveness of the brakes
- Water-ingress, or damage to drum brakes or disc brakes
- Engine damage due to water-ingress
- Shorting of electrical components
- Oil level and degradation (cloudiness) of the engine, transmission, differential
and transfer case
- Greasing of each components (lubrication)
