IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Q 7. Will I have to pay for any costs or expenses in connection with the
provision of IAL warranty service?
All parts and labour used in carrying out IAL warranty service at the premises of the
servicing Isuzu dealer are free of charge. Whenever IAL warranty service is to be
carried out by an Isuzu dealer it is your responsibility and cost to deliver the Vehicle to
the servicing Isuzu dealer's premises.
Q 8. Would my vehicle's engine benefit from fuel, oil or coolant additives not
marketed by IAL?
The use of break in oil, tune up compounds, friction reducing compounds and other
supplemental additives is not recommended: their use will not only increase operating
costs, but may also be detrimental to the operation of your vehicle. Only the fluids and
lubricants referred to in your owner’s manual should be used.
UNAUTHORISED STATEMENTS IN RELATION TO IAL’s PRODUCTS
Subject to any relevant laws, this warranty contains all of IAL’s obligations to you in
relation to the vehicle.
No Isuzu dealer or other person is authorised or permitted to give or make
any statement, assertion or undertaking in relation to the quality, performance,
characteristics, descriptions or fitness for any purpose of any IAL product or in
connection with the supply of any IAL product, which is at variance with any written
statement, assertion or undertaking on any of these subjects given or made by IAL in
its published sales literature, and IAL does not accept any such unauthorised act.
OVERLOADING
The components of your truck are designed to provide satisfactory service if the vehicle
is not loaded in excess of either the gross vehicle mass rating or gross vehicle weight
rating (GVM or GVW), gross combination mass rating or gross combination weight
rating (GCM or GCW) or the maximum front and rear gross axle weight rating (GAW).
Refer to the vehicle identification plates for the vehicle weight ratings.
Overloading can result in loss of vehicle control and personal injury, either by causing
component failures or by affecting vehicle handling. It can also shorten the service life
of your vehicle.
MAXIMUM FRONT AND REAR AXLE WEIGHTS
The weight of the cargo load must be properly distributed over both the front and rear
axles. The GVM or GVW rating is the maximum permissible loaded weight of the
vehicle and takes into account the capabilities of the engine, transmission, frame,
springs, brakes, axles, and tyres.
For maximum stability and safety, the cargo load should be distributed on both sides of
the truck centre line as equally as possible.
