Exhaust Restrictor (Engine
Warm-Up)
Exhaust Restrictor
If your 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 your 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 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 exterior lamp control.

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 you open a door.
You can also turn the dome lamps 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.

Audio System(s)
If your 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.
Determine which radio your vehicle has and then read the
pages following to familiarize yourself with its features.
{CAUTION:
This system provides you with far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. SeeDefensive Driving on page 4-2. Here are
some ways in which you can help avoid distraction
while driving.While your vehicle is parked:
•Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
•Familiarize yourself with its operation.
•Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering wheel
controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player,
CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make
sure that it can be added by checking with your
dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering
mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment
can be added, it is very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other
systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s
systems may interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added.
Notice:The chime signals related to safety belts,
parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle
operate through the radio/entertainment system. If
that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is
added to your vehicle, the chimes may not work.
Make sure that replacement or additional equipment
is compatible with your vehicle before installing it.
