SERVICE PRECAUTION
WARNING:
IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS), REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT
AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON
OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact
part number for that application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after
removal. ISUZU will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS
OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors)
on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener
torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specification. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.

5D Ð 6 PARKING BRAKES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulling up the parking brake lever by hand will set the parking brake. Once pulled up, the lever is held by
means of a ratchet type lock until it is released. The position of the lever is transmitted through
cable/lever systems to the rear wheels. These parts are designed to obtain sufficient braking force when
parking on slopes. When the parking brake is set, or when the ignition SW is in the ÒONÓ position, the
brake warning light illuminates. The rear wheel parking brake is a duo-servo brake (mechanical inside
expansion type) built-in to rear disc brake. Parking brake adjustment is made through the adjusting hole
(bored through back plate). Parking brake lever stroke should be adjusted to 6 or 7 notches.
OPERATION
When pulled in the direction ÒAÓ, the parking lever presses the secondary shoe against the brake drum
using the lever/shoe joint ÒBÓ as a fulcrum and pushes the strut in the direction ÒCÓ. The strut, in turn,
presses the primary shoe against the brake drum. Counter force ÒDÓ to the primary shoe is transmitted
again to the secondary shoe through the fulcrum ÒBÓ. The secondary shoe contacts the drum, thereby
producing braking effect. Clearance which may result from worn parking brake shoe lining can be
adjusted by turning the adjusting screw

ENGINE COOLING
Draining and Refilling Cooling
System
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the system
and perform any necessary service to ensure that it is
clean, does not leak and is in proper working order. The
engine coolant (EC) level should be between the ªMINº
and ªMAXº lines of reserve tank when the engine is cold.
If low, check for leakage and add EC up to the ªMAXº line.
There should not be any excessive deposit of rust or
scales around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and
the EC should also be free from oil.
Replace the EC if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the
drain plug (2) at the bottom of the radiator.
110RW002
2. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING: T O AV O I D T H E D A N G E R O F B E I N G
BURNED, DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE
ENGINE AND RADIATOR ARE STILL HOT.
SCALDING FLUID AND STEAM CAN BE BLOWN OUT
UNDER PRESSURE.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the EC reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with
soap and water. Flush it well with clean water, then
drain it. Install the reserve tank and hoses.
4. Refill the cooling system with the EC using a solution
that is at least 50 percent antifreeze but no more than
70 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the EC reserve tank to ªMAXº line when the engine
is cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the parking
brake. Shift an automatic transmission to ªPº (Park)
or a manual transmission to neutral.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and warm
it up at 2,500 ~ 3,000 rpm for about 30 minutes.
8. When the air comes out from the radiator filler neck
and the EC level has gone down, replenish with the
EC. Repeat this procedure until the EC level does not
go down. Then stop the engine and install the radiator
cap. Let the engine cool down.9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with EC up to
the ªMAXº line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. With the engine running at 3,000
rpm, make sure there is no running water sound from
the heater core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 8 to
10.
