TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Cautions for Driving in Cold Regions
The following cautions apply to snowbound
regions and to mountainous regions, ski
resorts and other areas of extreme cold
and/or snowfall. Please use them also for
reference in winter in other regions.
For the sake of your vehicle, have your
Isuzu Dealer make the winter preparations
described hereafter. Also have these
preparations made before driving to a cold
region.
Engine Coolant → Refer to page 7-32
Windshield Washer Fluid
→ Refer to page 7-148
Handling the Battery
→ Refer to page 7-153
Engine Oil → Refer to page 7-22
Using Tire Chains → Refer to page 6-23
Winter Tires → Refer to page 6-21
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.
If you park in a place where there is a lot of snowfall, snow accumulating around
the vehicle could limit ventilation. Running the engine with the vehicle in such
a situation could cause exhaust gases to enter into the cab, resulting in carbon-
monoxide poisoning. Take preventive action by, for example, clearing the snow
around the vehicle.
