Your local Isuzu UTE Dealer has invested a great deal of resources in ensuring your Isuzu UTE Vehicle can be serviced in the most efficient and cost-effective way. Choosing an Isuzu UTE Dealer Service Centre for your vehicles service gives you the peace-of-mind that the maintenance or repair is performed with factory-trained technicians.

Isuzu UTE Dealers and Authorised Service Outlets, are the only service centres that have direct technical support with Isuzu UTE, who in turn have a direct affiliation with Isuzu Motors Japan. Technical bulletins are regularly circulated across its network to ensure vehicles are inspected and repaired efficiently and correctly in accordance with strict guidelines laid down by Isuzu Motors.

Servicing your vehicle at an Isuzu UTE Service Centre ensures Isuzu UTE factory approved parts are fitted and all campaigns are up to date, as well as ensuring the future re-sale value of your vehicle is no less than it should be.

No, servicing your vehicle at non-Isuzu UTE approved service centres will not void your vehicle’s warranty. However, warranty may be denied for that part of the Vehicle that has been affected by that independent service repair entity where the non-authorised service, repair or part fitting (or any series of those) are of a causative nature to the defect.

Any part of the Vehicle which fails or malfunctions resulting from incorrect service or non-genuine replacement part would not be covered by this warranty. In addition, if servicing is not completed to Isuzu UTE’s specifications, this Service Warranty for that part of the vehicle that has been affected by this non-authorised work may be invalidated. Visit your local Isuzu UTE Dealer or authorised service centre for specific details.

As towing requirements and conditions can vary significantly, Isuzu UTE recommends that you refer to both the Owner’s and Driver’s Manual for more detailed information and additional advice specific to your vehicle’s towing capabilities. Please always ensure that legal load, weight and driving limits are followed in all operating conditions. Isuzu UTE does not recommend towing any vehicle above its specified or legal limitations.

The vehicle is designed to tow in the “D” position, the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) will select the appropriate gear for towing conditions.

As a new vehicle it is recommended not to tow until the drivetrain of the vehicle (engine, transmission, and drive line) have had sufficient time to run-in. Isuzu UTE States in the Owner’s and Driver’s Manual that a minimum of 500 km has been travelled before you tow your nominated load. (Refer: Owner’s and Driver’s Manual: Section 2-38).

Each LSS function may also be disabled individually via the vehicles customisation menu accessible by the Driver from within the instrument cluster information panel. Please refer to your owner’s and Driver’s manual for specific details relating to this function and setup.

22MY D-MAX onwards models and 22MY MU-X onwards models feature pre-programmed LSS memory. This means LSS will remember your most recently selected settings and restore them upon your next drive.

Should you have a concern with the functionality of the Lane Support System, we encourage you to contact your local Isuzu UTE Dealership for assistance.

The Hands-Free Power Tailgate offers 23MY-onwards Isuzu MU-X Owners a new level of convenience and utility. To activate the Hands-Free Tailgate feature, ensure the Isuzu Smart Key transceiver is on your person and walk towards the rear of the vehicle. Stop within 1 metre of the vehicle, in the centre of the tailgate and wait for the Hazard Lamps to illuminate and the audible beep, and then step away. Upon moving away from the rear of the vehicle, the MU-X’s Power Tailgate will open automatically.

For 19MY models and earlier, if the vehicle is brought to a near stop or reduced under the minimum operating speed, Resuming to the pre-set speed with the switch will be cancelled and will not operate. The set speed will however be maintained and can be reactivated when the minimum operating speed is achieved. Please refer to your Owner’s and Driver’s manual for information specific to your model vehicle.

Combining convenience with safety, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the conventional Cruise Control features both fitted to the D-MAX and MU-X use operating conditions to determine when the cruise system can operate and at what speed it is safe to do so.

ACC when combined with Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) will determine these operating conditions and beyond providing warnings will also intervene in certain circumstances to help keep the vehicle within its driving lane, and the safe operating parameters of the ACC. Conditions below the minimum threshold for ACC operating speed, or hazards within the line of path of the vehicle will result in the ACC and LKAS systems disengaging and will require your intervention to re-enable them once driving conditions are safe to do so.

For vehicle models earlier than 16.5MY, they are not fitted with a DPD (Diesel Particulate Defuser). However, the Euro 5 series Isuzu UTE vehicles (16.5MY and onwards) are fitted with a DPD.

16.5MY and later vehicle models are fitted with a Diesel Particulate Defuser (DPD) which forms part of the vehicle’s Exhaust Gas Treatment System. The DPD captures particulate matter from your vehicle’s exhaust emissions. This captured matter is then burnt off as the exhaust temperature increases to prevent future environmental impact.

Normally the DPD regeneration occurs automatically when Particulate (PM) build up within the DPD reaches a predetermined threshold and exhaust temperature have reached the minimum standards for DPD operation.

To perform the Operator Regeneration procedure, drive at a constant mid to high-speed RPM of 2000rpm, for approximately 20 minutes until the high-temperature indicator on the instrument cluster turns off (if the DPD light is lit). It is very important that this procedure is performed when the DPD light is illuminated on the instrument cluster otherwise damage may occur. Please refer to your Owner’s and Driver’s Manual for information relating to DPD use specific to your model vehicle.

19MY – 23MY Eligible Vehicles receive a 7 year CPS program (up to 7 Years/105,000km of scheduled services Covered – Whichever occurs first).

18MY Eligible Vehicles receive a 5 year CPS program (up to 5 Years/75,000km of scheduled services Covered – Whichever occurs first).

16.5MY and 17MY Eligible Vehicles receive a 5 year CPS program (up to 5 Years/75,000km of scheduled services Covered – Whichever occurs first).

The weight of some variants increased, which were subsequently reflected as an increase in combined fuel economy figures in later test procedures. While the combined figure may be higher, the real-world difference can be marginal and dependent on driving conditions and usage.

The glass in the 12MY to 19MY D-MAX and 14MY to 19MY MU-X range has been designed to provide excellent UV protection.

The fuel tank capacity of the D‑MAX is 76 litres, and the MU‑X is also 76 litres for most variants. Please refer to the specifications in your Owner’s and Driver’s Manual for confirmation for your specific model.

D-MAX
For vehicle models earlier than 17MY the vehicle is fitted with a fixed voltage alternator system.

For 17MY onwards the vehicle electrical system is a variable voltage alternator type system.

MU-X
For vehicle models earlier than 16.5MY the vehicle is fitted with a fixed voltage alternator type system.

For 16.5MY onwards the vehicle electrical system is a variable voltage alternator type system.

Should you wish to discuss this further, we encourage you to contact your local Isuzu UTE Dealer for assistance and for advice on additional accessories or dual-battery systems that may interact with the alternator setup.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is an extension of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system that helps detect and mitigate trailer sway when towing. Using sensors that monitor yaw, steering input and vehicle motion, the system can apply individual wheel braking and adjust engine torque to help stabilise the vehicle and trailer combination.

It is important to note that the TSC feature, although operational in many conditions, cannot overcome the physical limits of an overloaded or improperly loaded trailer. You must always ensure your trailer is loaded correctly, within legal weight limits, and that you drive to the conditions when towing.
