IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
When the Engine Stops While Driving
WARNING
• Vehicle operations will change, so stop the vehicle in a safe place with the
following in mind.
- The power steering system will not work so the steering wheel will be hard to
turn. It will require more strength than during normal operation.
- As the brake booster will no longer be functional, brake effectiveness will
be greatly reduced. Be sure to apply more pressure than usual to the brake
pedal.
• In models with passive entry and start system, if the engine stops while the
vehicle is in motion, etc., do not open the doors until the vehicle has come to a
safe stop. This is dangerous as the steering wheel lock may operate if the doors
are opened. After stopping the vehicle in a safe place, immediately contact your
nearest Isuzu Dealer.

As the brake booster will no longer operate,
brake effectiveness will be reduced. The
power steering system will not work so
the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Stay calm and decrease vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal. Then, promptly
pull the vehicle over to a safe location and
inspect its condition. If the engine does not
start, contact the nearest Isuzu Dealer.
NOTE
• If the engine stopped because the vehicle ran out of fuel while driving, refueling
alone will not be enough to restart the engine. Bleed the fuel system after
refueling the vehicle.
