{Warning
.Adjust the position of the
steering wheel before you
start driving.
. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, apply force
to the steering wheel to
make certain the steering
column is firmly locked
before driving. Also, do not
try to tilt or adjust the
steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving. If these
steps are not followed, the
steering column could move
suddenly while the vehicle
is in motion which could
cause a temporary loss of
steering control which may
result in personal injury or
death.

and down as well as forward and
backward.
Before adjusting, position the seat
as desired.
1. Lift the lock lever toward you to unlock the steering column.
2. Sit in the correct driving position, and then move the
steering wheel up and down
and forward and backward to
select the optimum steering
wheel position. 3. Firmly lock the steering wheel
at the selected position by
moving the lock lever to the
lock position.

Starting and Stopping the
Vehicle
Check around the Vehicle before
Starting the Engine
Proper care and operation will not
only extend the service life of your
vehicle but also improve fuel
economy.
Before pulling away, perform a
thorough safety check, making sure
there are no children or obstructions around the vehicle. Take off the
chocks after confirming that the
parking brake is securely applied.
Sit behind the wheel, adjust the seat
position, and buckle up the seat
belt. The passengers are also
required to buckle up the seat belts.
Adjust the positions of the steering
wheel and mirrors. Lock the doors.
Turn the power of the dome light or
accessories OFF before starting the
engine. See
Seat Position 038,
Seat Belts 043, Steering Wheel
Adjustment 065, and Mirrors033.
Keep the Floor Around the
Driver's Seat Clean and Tidy{Warning

empty cans, empty bottles or
other items rolling around on the
floor because they could get
trapped under the brake pedal
and prevent brake application.
For proper pedal operation, it is (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
also essential to lay floor mats
properly. Incorrectly installed floor
mats would hinder free movement
of the pedals.
Do not use the dashboard pocket
or the top of the dashboard as a
place to put items that could roll,
which could interfere with your
driving. You and others could be
seriously injured.
Choose Your Footwear Suitable

proper operation of pedals when
driving the vehicle. Use of
footwear unsuitable for driving
may cause an accident.

Driving and Operating 221
Operation of Parking Brake
The parking brake lever is located to
the right of the driver's seat.
To set the parking brake, completely
stop the vehicle. Then, without
pressing the release button (1), hold
the brake pedal down while pulling
the parking brake lever (2) all the
way up.The parking brake indicator light in
the instrument panel will come on
when the lever is pulled up. Before
you leave the driver's seat, follow
the steps under
“Parking, or Leaving
Driver's Seat”. See Braking0143.
To release the parking brake, hold
the brake pedal down while pushing
the release button of the parking
brake lever and lower the lever. The
parking brake indicator light in the
instrument panel will go out.
The parking brake indicator light is
designed to remind you if the
parking brake is not released when
the engine control switch is on.
If the parking brake warning light
remains on when the parking brake
lever is lowered, a brake failure or a
drop in air pressure may be the
cause.
Check the brake air pressure for
correct level. If the brake air
pressure is low, contact your local
Isuzu Dealer for service.
If you notice the parking brake lever
travel has increased over time, this
means the cable adjustment must be checked by a qualified
technician. Adjustment may be
required due to parking brake shoe
wear. See
Control of a Vehicle
0 139.
Inspection
Pull the parking brake lever slowly
from the fully released position while
counting the clicks produced as the
lever engages ratchet plate notches
to check that it can be raised the
proper amount and the lever is held
firmly.

one side, unusual sounds when
braking, increased brake pedal
travel or harder pedal. The front and
rear brakes are attached to an auto
adjuster mechanism. If there are no
defects, as the pedal travel is
properly maintained, adjustments
are not necessary. Check regularly
that the brake fluid reservoir
(left-hand side of the instrument
panel) or HBB reservoir (5500HD,
5500XD models: left side behind the
cab) is properly filled and check for
fluid leaks. Any of these conditions
could indicate the need for brake
system inspection and/or service.
G: Exhaust System :Be alert for
any changes in the sound of the
exhaust system or any smell of
fumes. These are signs the system
may be leaking. Have it checked
and/or repaired at once. (Refer to
"Engine Exhaust Emissions Caution
(Carbon Monoxide)" under Engine
Exhaust 0177).
H: Windshield Wipers and
Washers : Check operation and
condition of the wiper blades. Check
the flow of the washer spray. I: Defroster :
Turn the outlet
selector knob to "Defroster" and the
fan speed control knob to the fully
clockwise position. Then check the
airflow from the ducts at the inside
base of the windshield.
J: Rearview Mirrors and Sun
Visors : Check that friction joints
hold mirrors and sun visors in place.
K: Horn : Sound the horn, now and
then, to be sure it works.
L: Lap-Shoulder Belts : Check the
seat belt system (including webbing,
buckles, latch plates and anchors)
for proper operation, and for
damage.
M: Seat Adjusters : When
adjusting the driver's manual seat,
be sure the seat adjusters latch by
pushing the seat forward and
backward. Do not attempt to adjust
the seat when the vehicle is in

marker lamps, reflectors on outside mirrors, headlamps, parking lamps,
identification and clearance lamps,
taillights, brake lamps, turn signals,
cornering lamps, backup lamps and
hazard warning flashers. Have
headlamp aim checked immediately
if beams seem improperly aimed.

Reflectors Condition :
Look for
broken, scratched, dirty or damaged
glass, mirrors, lamps or reflectors
that could reduce the view or
visibility, or cause injury. Replace,
clean or repair promptly.
P: Door Latches : Check that doors
close, latch and lock tightly. Check
for broken, damaged or missing
parts that might prevent tight
latching.
Q :Tilt Cab (Driving Position) : Be
sure the tilt lever is down and
locked.
R: Fluid Leaks : Check for fuel,
water, oil or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the
vehicle after it has been parked for
