Exhaust Restrictor (Engine
Warm-Up)
Exhaust Restrictor
If the vehicle has a Isuzu 6H Diesel Engine, it may have
a feature called an Exhaust Restrictor (NPE), which
uses an air actuated valve in the exhaust system
to restrict exhaust gas flow which enhances the engine
and heater warm-up.
Automatic Quick Warm-Up
If the vehicle has a DURAMAX®6600 engine, it has a
feature called an Automatic Quick Warm-Up, which uses
the turbocharger to restrict the exhaust gas flow
which enhances the engine and heater warm-up.
In both systems, exhaust restrictor or automatic quick
warm-up, the cold temperature high idle feature elevates
the engines idle speed, up to 1500 rpm, and restricts
the exhaust gas flow, when outside temperatures
are below 50°F (10°C), and the engine coolant
temperature is below certain levels. This feature
enhances heater performance by raising the engine
coolant temperature faster.For all engines this feature is already turned on. The
automatic quick warm-up on the DURAMAX
®engine
can be turned off and on by doing the following
procedure:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN, with the vehicle off.
2. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor and
hold it while quickly pressing and fully releasing the
brake pedal three times in less than eight seconds.
3. Release the accelerator pedal and start the engine.
The green exhaust brake/restrictor light below the
radio controls will be lit for 10 seconds.
If this feature is turned off, by doing the procedure
described previously, and then the engine is
started, the exhaust brake/restrictor light will flash
for 10 seconds and then it will turn off.
When the engine is started, it will slowly increase to the
high idle speed after a delay of a few seconds; up to
about two minutes. For this method to work properly
there must be no throttle or brake pedal faults, and the
throttle pedal must not fall below 75 percent of wide
open throttle while pressing the brake pedal.

the thumbwheel is moved to the first position, the radio
display and transmission selection display will go to
full intensity. The instrument panel cluster will also be
dimly lit. Moving the thumbwheel up to the next position
will activate the interior dome lamps.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when a door is opened.
The dome lamps can be turned on by moving the
thumbwheel, located to the right of the exterior lamp
control, all the way up to the second position. In this
position, the dome lamps will remain on whether a door
is open or closed.
The dome override button can set the dome lamps
to automatically come on when a door is open, or to
remain off.

Audio System(s)
If the vehicle came without a radio, the wiring provisions
for a radio and an antenna were installed at the
assembly plant, so that if you want, a radio can be
installed at the dealer/retailer.

following pages to become familiar with its features.
