5-112 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Windshield Wiper/WasherThe windshield washer is equipped on the windshield wiper arm.Check the level of fluid in the windshield washer fluid tank. In addition, spray windshield washer fluid and operate the windshield wipers to check for any areas not properly wiped. At this time, also check the spraying condition of the windshield washer. • Inspect the washer fluid level regularly, especially during bad weather conditions. • Use a high quality premixed solvent available at most dealers or service stations.

Avoid hard water when mixing Optikleen or other windshield washer solvents. Hard water contaminants may plug orifices in the washer system and reduce performance.

• Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer; it could cause cab paint damage.

• In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defrosters before using the washer, to help prevent icing that may block the driver's vision.

Windshield Washer Fluid

Refilling Windshield Washer Fluid 1. The windshield washer fluid tank is

located under the instrument panel on the passenger side.

2. Open the cap and fill the tank with windshield washer fluid.

Checking the Battery

Battery

When the Battery is Discharged → Refer to page 6-12

Your new vehicle is equipped with DELKOR batteries. They need no periodic electrolyte level maintenance. Its top is permanently sealed (except for two small vent holes) and has no filler caps. You will never have to add water. Remember to check and recharge the battery as necessary, as well as keep connection clean.The hydrometer (green-eye test indicator) in the top of each battery provides information for testing purposes only.If the vehicle is not going to be driven for 30 days or longer, disconnect the ground cable from the negative (–) terminal of the batteries to prevent discharge.For full power needs at replacement time, a battery with the same specifications, as shown on the original DELKOR battery's label, is recommended.

Latch

Battery Cover

ADVICEIf the negative cable is disconnected from the negative terminal on the battery within 3 minutes after turning the engine control switch to the "LOCK" position, the engine control module may malfunction.

•


1-40 BEFORE DRIVING THE VEHICLE

ADVICEWhen opening the DEF tank cap, be careful not to let dirt or other foreign matter enter inside the DEF tank. Intrusion of foreign matter can cause a clogging of the filter or affect the quality of DEF, which may result in a SCR system failure.If DEF is spilled on the body or frame, it may cause generation of rust, so wipe it off and then rinse it away with water.

•

•

NOTEWhen DEF dries it will leave a crystalline residue. This condition is normal. Wash, with water, or wipe away the residue to prevent it from entering the DEF tank.

•

Adding DEF (1) Turn the engine control switch to the

"ACC" or "LOCK" position and make sure to stop the engine.

(2) Wipe off dust or dirt from around the filler port of the DEF tank.

(3) Turn and remove the filler cap. (4) Refill the tank up to the "F" position

in the level gauge on the front face of the tank. The DEF may overflow from the filler port if it is added in excess of the "F" position.

(5) Tighten the cap after refilling is completed.

(6) Wipe off DEF that is spilled at refilling.

CAUTION

On occasion, you may notice an odor when the DEF tank is opened. Do not sniff the filler port, etc.When refilling the DEF tank: Failure to follow the above instructions could result in a fire or a breakdown of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system.

Do not dilute DEF with water, etc.Do not add substances such as gasoline or diesel fuel to the DEF tank.

Draining Water from the Fuel Filter

Pre Fuel Filter (Chassis-side) 1. Attach a plastic hose to the drain plug

on the bottom of the chassis-side fuel filter and put the other end of the hose in a container placed beneath the filter.

2. Loosen the drain plug and move the priming pump up and down by hand between 10 and 20 times.

3. Fully tighten the drain plug and move the priming pump several times.

ADVICEClean off any fuel that has adhered to the vehicle body.Starting the engine immediately after draining the water from the fuel filter requires a little more time than usual. If the engine does not start in 10 seconds, wait for a while and try again.Fuel will be mixed in the drained water. Dispose of it in a method conforming to the regulatory requirements in your state.If the water separator (fuel filter) requires frequent draining, have the fuel system inspected at your Isuzu Dealer.

5-67SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Brake Fluid

Checking the Brake Fluid LevelRemove the inspection cover on the left-hand side of the instrument panel by turning it with your fingers. Check that the fluid level in the reservoir is between the "MAX" and "ADD" lines. If the fluid surface cannot easily be seen, rock the vehicle gently.

Adding Brake FluidIf the level of brake fluid has dropped below the "ADD" line, remove the cap and add fluid. Take care to avoid filling beyond the "MAX" line. Tighten the cap securely after the fluid has been added.

ADVICEWhen adding brake fluid to the tank, take care to prevent dirt and water from entering it. Any dirt or water in the system could cause the vehicle to lose braking functions.Inspect and change brake fluid according to the Maintenance Schedule.Use the recommended brake fluid when adding brake fluid.Never mix the specified brake fluid with fluids of another brand.Be careful not to spill brake fluid onto painted surfaces or to let it come in contact with skin. If fluid is spilled onto a painted surface or comes in contact with skin, wash away the fluid with water and immediately wipe the area clean. Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to close the brake fluid container tightly for storage.If the brake fluid level decreases rapidly, there may be a problem in the brake system or brake pads or shoe linings may have worn out. Have your vehicle inspected by the nearest Isuzu Dealer immediately.
