ADVICE
If a warning buzzer sounds when the exhaust brake is in operation, promptly
pull over the vehicle safely and contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer for inspection.
Even if the gearshift lever is placed in the "N" position, the exhaust brake does
not disengage until the engine is warmed up if the warm-up system is on.
