Maintenance Schedule List
Normal Vehicle Use
The maintenance instructions in this Maintenance
Schedule are based on the assumption that the vehicle
will be used as designed:

to carry passengers and cargo within the limitations
specified on the tire placard located on the inside of
the glove compartment door;

to be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
operating limits;

to be driven on a daily basis, as a general rule, for at
least several miles/kilometers;

to be driven on unleaded fuel
Unusual or severe operating conditions will require more
frequent vehicle maintenance, as specified in the
following sections.
Severe Driving Conditions
If the vehicle is usually operated under any of the severe
driving conditions listed below, it is recommended that the
applicable maintenance services be performed at the
specified interval shown in the chart below.
Severe driving conditions:

Towing a trailer, using a camper or car top carrier.

Repeated short trips of less than 8 Km (5 miles) with
outside temperature remaining below freezing.

Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long
distances, such as police, taxi or door±to±door
delivery use.

Operating on dusty, rough, muddy or salt spread
roads.

0B±6MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Always change the oil and the oil filter as soon as possible
after driving in a dust storm.
Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the coolant/anti±freeze. If the coolant is dirty or
rusty, drain, flush and refill with new coolant. Keep coolant
at the proper mixture for proper freeze protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and best engine operating
temperature. Inspect hoses and replace if cracked,
swollen or deteriorated. Tighten the hose clamps if
equipped with screw±type clamps. Clean outside of
radiator and air conditioning condenser. Wash filler cap
and neck. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure
test of both the cooling system and the cap is also
recommended.
Exhaust System Inspection
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler, heat shields
and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the exhaust
system or any smell of fumes. These are signs the system
may be leaking or overheating. Repair the system at
once, if these conditions exist. (See also ªEngine Exhaust
Gas Safetyº and ªThree Way Catalytic Converterº in the
Owner's manual.)
Fuel Cap, Fuel Lines, and Fuel Tank
Inspection
Inspect the fuel tank, the fuel cap and the fuel lines every
60,000 miles (96,000 km) for damage which could cause
leakage.
Inspect the fuel cap and the gasket for correct sealing and
physical damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Drive Belt Inspection
Check the serpentine belt driving for cracks, fraying,
wear, and correct tension every 30,000 miles (48,000
km). Replace as necessary.
Wheel Alignment, Balance and Tires
Operation
Uneven or abnormal tire wear, or a pull right or left on a
straight and level road may show the need for a wheel
alignment. A vibration of the steering wheel or seat at
normal highway speeds means a wheel balancing is
needed. Check tire pressure when the tires are ªcoldº
(include the spare).
Maintain pressure as shown in the tire placard, which is
located on the driver's door lock pillar.
Steering System Operation
Be alert for any changes in steering operation. An
inspection or service is needed when the steering wheel
is harder to turn or has too much free play, or if there are
unusual sounds when turning or parking.
Brake Systems Operation
Watch for the ªBRAKEº light coming on. Other signs of
possible brake trouble are such things as repeated pulling
to one side when braking, unusual sounds when braking
or between brake applications, or increased brake pedaltravel. If you note one of these conditions, repair the
system at once.
For convenience, the following should be done when
wheels are removed for rotation: Inspect lines and hoses
for proper hookup, bindings, leaks, crack, chafing etc.
Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface
condition.
Inspect other brake parts, including parking brake drums,
linings etc., at the same time. Check parking brake
adjustment.
Inspect the brakes more often if habit or conditions
result in frequent braking.
Parking Brake and Transmission Park
Mechanism Operation
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with the
parking brake only. This checks holding ability. On
automatic transmission vehicles, shifting from ªPº
position to the other positions cannot be made unless the
brake pedal is depressed when the key switch is in the
ªONº position or the engine is running.
WARNING: B E F O R E C H E C K I N G T H E S TA R T E R
SAFETY SWITCH OPERATION BELOW, BE SURE TO
HAVE ENOUGH ROOM AROUND THE VEHICLE.
THEN FIRMLY APPLY BOTH THE PARKING BRAKE
AND THE REGULAR BRAKE. DO NOT USE THE
ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF THE ENGINE STARTS,
BE READY TO TURN OFF THE KEY PROMPTLY.
TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS BECAUSE THE
VEHICLE COULD MOVE WITHOUT WARNING AND
POSSIBLY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Starter Safety Switch Operation
Check by trying to start the engine in each gear while
setting the parking brake and the foot brake. The starter
should crank only in ªPº (Park) or ªNº (Neutral).
Accelerator Linkage Lubrication
Lubricate the accelerator pedal fulcrum pin with chassis
grease.
Steering and Suspension Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering
system for damaged, loose or missing parts or signs of
wear. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Body and Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate the key lock cylinders, the hood latch, the hood
and door hinges, the door check link, the parking cable
guides, the underbody contact points, and the linkage.
Propeller Shaft Inspection and Lubrication
Check the propeller shaft flange±to±pinion bolts for
proper torque to 63 Nwm (46 lb ft) for front and rear
propeller shaft.

WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS 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 specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
Heating and Ventilation System
General Description
Heater
When the engine is warming up, the warmed engine
coolant is sent into the heater core. The heater system
supplies warm air into the passenger compartment to
warm it up.
Outside air is circulated through the heater core of the
heater unit and then into the passenger compartment. By
controlling the mixture of outside air and heater core air,
the most comfortable passenger compartment
temperature can be selected and maintained.
The temperature of warm air sent to the passenger
compartment is controlled by the temperature control
knob. This knob acts to open and close the air mix door,
thus controlling the amount of air passed through the
heater core.The air selector switch (Mode SW), with its different
modes, also allows you to select and maintain the most
comfortable passenger compartment temperature.
The air source select switch is used to select either
ªFRESHº for the introduction of the outside air, or ªCIRCº
for the circulation of the inside air. When the switch is set
to ªFRESHº, the outside air is always taken into the
passenger compartment. When setting the switch to
ªCIRCº position, the circulation of air is restricted only to
the inside air with no introduction of the outside air and the
air in the passenger compartment gets warm quickly.
However, the switch is normally set to ªFRESHº to
prevent the windshield from clouding.

Air Source Select Switch
Press this button to select either Fresh Air Intake or CIRC
(inside air circulation). There is an indicator light inside the
button. This light indicates that the CIRC mode is ªONº.
Fresh Air Intake is the default setting for both DEFROST
and FOOT/DEFROST.
Fan Control Switch
This switch controls the blower motor speed to regulate
the amount of air delivered to the defrost, foot, and
ventilation ducts:
1. L0
2. M1
3. M2
4. M3
5. HI
Temperature Control Switch
When the temperature control switch is in the ª18
C
(65
F)º position, the air mix door closes to block the air
flow to the heater core.
When the temperature control switch is in the ª32
C
(90
F)º position, the air mix door opens to allow air to pass
through the heater core and heat the passenger
compartment.
Selecting the desired temperature will control the air flow
through the heater core, allowing control of the cabin
temperature.

HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
Movement of Mix Actuator
Position of the air mix door is determined by the controller
on the automatic air conditioner control unit.
As the heat or cool side of the controller is grounded, the
transistor on the driver is activated and, thus, the motor
rotation is turned on. The sliding contact connected to the
motor sends the position detection signal from the
potentiometer to the automatic air conditioner control
unit. As the set temperature and interior temperature are
balanced, the controller returns to the neutral and the
motor rotation is stopped.

Movement of Mode Actuator
As target position of the mode door is decided on the
controller of the control unit, the control unit reads the
position detection signal from the actuator to select the
clockwise or counter clockwise motor rotation direction.
Grounding the controller VENT or DEF side after the
direction selection activates the transistor on the driver,
thus turning on the motor rotation. Accompanying the
motor rotation, the sliding contact rotates, too. When the
target position is reached, the controller on the control
unit returns to the neutral and the motor stops.

3E±6WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM
Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is recommended to equalize wear for longer
tire life.
480RS002
Legend
(1) Spare Tire
If the following conditions are noted, rotate the tires:

Front tire wear is different from rear.

Uneven wear exists across the tread of any tire.

Left and right front tire wear is unequal.

Left and right rear tire wear is unequal.
Check wheel alignment if the following conditions are
noted:

Left and right front tire wear is unequal.

Wear is uneven across the tread of any front tire.

Front tire treads have a scuffed appearance with
ªfeatherº edges on one side of the tread ribs or blocks.
Tread Wear Indicators
480RS006The original equipment tires have built-in tread wear indi-
cators(1) to show when tires need replacement. Theseindicators may appear as wide bands. When the indica-
tors appear in two or more grooves at three locations, tire
replacement is recommended.
Inflation of Tires
710RW002Tire pressure, in cold condition (after vehicle has set for
three hours or more, and driven less than one mile),
should be checked monthly or before any extended trip.
Tire pressure increases approximately 15% when the
tires become hot during driving. Tire pressure specifica-
tion is shown on the label located on the left door lock pil-
lar.
NOTE: Check the tire pressure whenever irregular wear
is found. Tire inflation greatly affects tire wear. If the
alignment check does not reveal any alignment problems,
check the condition of the shock absorbers and wheel/tire
balance.
Diagnosis List
If the following conditions are noted, rotation is required.
1. Front tire wear is different from rear.
2. Uneven wear exists across the tread of any tire.
3. Left and right front tire wear is unequal.
4. Left and right rear tire wear is unequal.
If the following conditions are noted, check the wheel
alignment.
1. Left and right front tire wear is unequal.
2. Uneven wear exists across the tread of any tire.
3. Front tire treads have scuffed appearance with
ªfeatherº edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks.
4. There is cupping, flat spotting etc.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
1. Hard ride.
2. Poor steering stability.
3. Rapid and uneven wear at center of the tread.
Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
1. Tire squeal on turns.
2. Hard steering.
3. Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
4. Tire rim bruises and rupture.
