CAUTION
• Do not cover the front of the radiator with newspapers, cardboard or any other
flammable material to raise the engine coolant temperature.
• If you allow the engine to warm up but the engine coolant temperature does not
rise, have the nearest Isuzu Dealer inspect the thermostat.
WARNING
• Snow or obstructions surrounding the vehicle could limit ventilation. Running
the engine with the vehicle in such a situation could cause exhaust gases to
enter the cab, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. Take preventive
action, for example, by clearing any snow or obstructions around the vehicle.
