Hi. On my 99 Isuzu Mu there is a switch on the RHS of dash next to 4WD button/switch that has a symbol that looks like a bit like an engine or maybe a fan? It has 3 vertical lines in the middle of the drawing of the fan or motor or whatever the symbol represents! Can anyone tell me what this switch does?
And also, the vehicle has a Power switch which is fairly self-explanatory and then there is the switch to put it into 4WD mode but why do you need a "Winter" switch as well?? Meaning what does the "Winter" switch do?
Many thanks for your help. (new 4WD owner and new to Isuzus too! ;D )

The switch is a cold weather warm up device. Even if switched on it wont work unless below about 8C. It restricts the exhaust till the engine warms up. (yours being a 99 will probably have the 4jx1 engine If so it might work differently but the princible is the same) Winter switch prevents the use of 1st gear in the auto to prevent wheelspin If you have traction control it affects this as well
