NOTICE:
While the vehicle is at a stop with engine idling, the engine
speed increases if the shift lever is moved to the "N" position.
While the vehicle is at a stop with engine idling, regeneration
discontinues if the shift lever is moved to the "P" position and/or
the parking brake is set.
The amber DPF indicator light remains on when the green DPF
indicator light goes off until regeneration will complete.
Emergency switch regeneration
If emergency running regeneration is not possible, or if the vehicle
brought to a halt and parked during emergency running regeneration,
perform the following emergency switch regeneration.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place where there are no dead leaves,
scraps of paper or other substances that readily burn.
2. Move to the gearshift lever in the "N" or "P" position, and set the
parking brake lever firmly.
3. Idle the engine.
If you used the idling control knob to increase the engine speed,
return it all the way to the left to reduce the engine speed.
4. In the case of a vehicle fitted with a PTO (POWER TAKE-OFF)
unit, stop operation of the PTO.
Return the PTO switch and the external acceleration control to
their initial positions.
Emergency regeneration procedure
If the DPF indicator light (Amber/Red) on the instrument panel turns
on, perform a regeneration operation in accordance with the following
procedures.
Emergency running regeneration
During running regeneration, in addition to the DPF indicator light
(Amber/Red), the indicator light (Green) will also turns on.
As a guideline, run the vehicle at 30MPH (48km/h) or above, and
make the accelerator pedal operation as less frequent as possible.
When the DPF indicator light (Amber/Red) and indicator light (Green)
go off, regeneration is complete.
CAUTION: If you continue driving the vehicle without performing
regeneration, the check engine malfunction indicator light will
come on indicating that you must contact an Isuzu dealer to have
the DPF repaired.
CAUTION: To prevent fire, ensure that there is no combustible
material near the muffler, the DPF or the exhaust pipe. Also, be
careful not to burn yourself on the hot exhaust gas.
