CMH ISUZU EAST RAND |HOW TO PACK FOR A FAMILY CAMPING TRIP IN YOUR ISUZU PICKUP BAKKIE.

April 14, 2022 By Rokkit

Are you planning to go on a camping trip with your family and friends in your Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain? Are you wondering how to pack everything you and your family will need? Well, CMH Isuzu East Rand has got your back with these easy steps:

Due to the large cargo capacity of the Isuzu D-Max Bakkie, pickup trucks are ideal for camping. However, as the truck bed is exposed to the elements applying a thought-out method to pack your stuff for the camping trip is important.

So, just to get you all set on a worry-free camping trip with your family, CMH Isuzu East Rand will take you through the process of how you should pack for a camping trip in your pickup truck.

When you are on the road, anything that isn’t fastened down will move around in the back of your pickup truck, especially if the roads are uneven. Therefore, CMH Isuzu East Rands recommends that you must have these: ratchet straps, bungee cords, and a tarp, as they always come in handy to secure your camping equipment.

· The ratchet straps are ideal for securing large, heavy items like coolers and gear trunks since they don’t stretch.

· Bungee cords are used to secure smaller items like tents, sleeping bags, and camp chairs for peace of mind while driving down the highway.

· If your pickup doesn’t have a truck bed cover, you’ll need to cover everything with a tarp before setting out on your trip. The tarp protects your camping gear from exhaust fumes, road debris, dust, and rain. It also serves as a fail-safe in case any objects on the drive go loose.

Visit CMH Isuzu East Rand for our New & Pre-owned bakkies and enjoy the benefits of owning an Isuzu D-Max pickup truck. We are situated at 143 North Rand Road, Boksburg.

Introducing IDAS

April 5, 2022 By Rokkit

IDAS is the future, and the future is now.

IDAS, Isuzu’s “Intelligent Driver Assistance System” is a whole new world of class-leading technology designed to keep you at the utmost level of safety on the road. IDAS consists of a few elements that work together harmoniously. CMH Isuzu Umhlanga is here to tell you just how this innovative system from Isuzu will become an indispensable part of your motoring!

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)

As if on cue, your vehicle will apply automatic emergency brakes should a collision be detected.

Forward Collision Warning

When there is an object is detected in your path, warning lights and sounds are emitted from the dashboard saving you from what could be a nasty situation.

Post Collision Braking

During a collision when the airbags have been deployed and the central locking has been automatically deactivated, automatic braking will be applied. This will help bring your Isuzu to a safe stop.

Miss-acceleration Mitigation

When your vehicle is in slow-moving areas such as parking areas, cameras will detect if your accelerator has been pressed by a slip of the foot. Brakes will be applied automatically should a collision be detected.

Turn Assist with AEB

Playing as your guardian angel, during a turn, if a potential collision is detected your Isuzu’s emergency brakes are automatically applied.

Rain Sensing Automatic Wipers

In wet conditions the automatic rain-sensing wipers will wipe the windscreens and will also adjust the speed of the wipers as needed. This will allow you to enjoy the journey effortlessly.

Infrared Windscreen

Our infrared windscreen blocks out UVA and UVB rays. This is ideal for those long summer journeys under the southern sun as it maintains a cool temperature in the front of the vehicle.

Automatic Headlights and High Beams

Once it’s dark such as at night or in an underground area, the headlights automatically switch on. When travelling, the high beams are automatically lowered if another vehicle is detected approaching you, keeping their visibility in mind.

Airbags

Isuzu’s innovation of having an airbag between the two front seats brings the total amount of airbags to eight in the vehicle increasing your safety during a collision.

Blind Spot Monitoring

Should a vehicle be detected in your blind spot, the driver will receive a warning.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Your surroundings are monitored when backing into traffic such as coming out of a parking space. You will receive warnings if any objects are detected coming from either side.

Rear Radar

We’ll have your back, so you won’t have to with our rear radar and reverse camera assisting you in backing into any tough spot.

Emergency Stop Signals

If you’re in a collision, your emergency lights are automatically switched on to make sure your vehicle is highly visible.

Parking Assist

With front and rear cameras, you’ll have a 180-degree view of your parking spot making those sticky parallel parking situations a breeze.

Lane Keep Assist

Staying in your lane is made simple with road markings detected by your Isuzu’s steering assist.

With vehicles bred to be as bold as their owners, the new Isuzu D-Max and MU-X range were built to help you live your best life and CMH Isuzu Umhlanga cannot wait to be a part of that invigorating journey with you.

How CMH Isuzu Umhlanga got our 4X4 on!

November 18, 2021 By Rokkit

When it comes to off-road adventures, there is no better companion than an Isuzu. CMH Isuzu Umhlanga recently experienced off-roading at the Killarney 4×4 Track in KZN at the Isuzu Driving Academy, an experience we won’t soon forget. The team had the opportunity to observe the experts at work and then try out their skills!

Here’s what the CMH Isuzu Umhlanga sales team had to say about their day out:

“Before driving the vehicle, we were taken through some of the specs of the vehicle’s 4×4 capabilities: • The radiator space is bigger than its competitors. • The height space between the bonnet and engine components is larger (because in South Africa we have animals on the road, producing much more front-end damage than in Thailand. • The tailgate has three hinges allowing it to hold a weight of 750kg!

During the 4×4 track, where your wheels drive through different level holes, we were quite impressed with how stable we were in the back seat, with little to no sliding. If you stop the vehicle and engage 4L, you can hear the vehicle click over as you press the accelerator. As for the MUX, it handled all challenges without any issues whatsoever.

A Safety tip learned, when in water, take your safety belt off and open windows before entering the river!”- Donna McCulloch, Dealer Principal

“The Killarney 4×4 Track has got some amazingly challenging 4×4 routes, but not challenging enough for our Isuzu vehicles. We went through the toughest terrain with absolute ease and grace. The information that we received from the trainers was a revelation as we don’t always interact with our clients about all the necessary features and capabilities of our 4×4 range the way the experts do.

My favourite part of the day was being able to let the vehicle go downhill all by itself. The vehicle had hill-descent control, which allowed you to travel down steep slopes at 4kph without touching the brakes. You might find it scary, but once you have done it, it’s quite exhilarating!

All my 4×4 training has given me a better understanding of the vehicles’ capabilities. I am amazed at how powerful and capable they are. In addition to giving you confidence in a 4×4 environment, Isuzu vehicles have been adapted to our rigid environment with different shocks, brakes, and tyres.

I’m sure the 4×4 market for Isuzu is going to become a front runner like its Australian counterparts.”- Adrian Van Vuuren, New Vehicles Sales Manager

“What I really enjoyed about the Isuzu 4×4 training with the Isuzu Driving Academy was taking the 4×4 on the different and in some cases quite challenging routes on the South African terrain, but the Isuzu 4×4 showed that no obstacle is too hard for it to overcome. From going up a steep rocky slope and having to make our way down, we then engaged the Hill Descent Control (HDC) to allow for a smooth hill descent at a controlled speed. Changing over from 4×2 into 4×4 is a very simple process and user-friendly with turning the 4×4 switch to 4L without having to come to a complete stand-still and having the vehicle in neutral. The experience was thrilling, and I would definitely recommend it to all proud 4×4 owners!”- Sydney Campbell, New Vehicle Sales Executive

“The presentation of the vehicles was impressive, with touchpoint decals strategically placed around the vehicle to highlight its unique selling points (USP). This is what is commonly called “FAB” (Features, Advantages, Benefits). Listed below are just a few examples. • Hill Start Assist – this prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill and gives the driver 3 seconds to control the vehicle. • Hill Descent Control – this feature assists the driver in going down a hill by taking control of the vehicle and only requiring steering. The driver relinquishes control of the vehicle to the computerized system. It’s exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. • 4×4 Command dial – This is one of the features that impressed me the most. The driver can engage from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is traveling below 100km/h. The driver does not need to stop to engage. This provides maximum traction and control when you are driving on gravel, sandy, or rocky roads.

Another fact brought to my attention is how many improvements are made to the Thailand vehicles to accommodate uniquely South African conditions, like our heat and cold weather temperatures and dust as a factor. • Radiator size and space is improved. • Turbo and intercooler are totally redesigned for South Africa • Class-leading sheet metal thickness is used on all body panels. • Redesigned and improved suspension • High-density foam sprayed throughout the vehicle to prevent dust from entering the cab

All these lead to our vehicle being one of the best-selling commercial vehicles in the country and prove that Isuzu lives up to its promise of reliability and durability!”- Riaz Fakir, New Vehicles Sales Executive

We always knew that Isuzu vehicles were made of something special, but for us to experience exactly what they can do at first hand, left us in awe. We have sharpened our skills and expanded our knowledge of the 4×4 world and are fully confident that we can assist you at an expert level when it comes to taking on those tough terrains!

HOLIDAY TIPS TO ENSURE A SAFE FESTIVE SEASON ROAD TRIP

November 11, 2021 By Rokkit

As we approach the festive season many of us will be heading out onto the road and leaving our homes for vacation destinations. But it’s also this is a time of tragedy as many are injured or lose their lives in road accidents. Therefore, make sure your car is up to the task of getting you there safely and without breaking down.

• Take your vehicle to your nearest dealership for a check-over, which is mainly called a Pre-Holiday inspection.

• Inspect your windows for any chips or cracks and have them fixed before the trip, check that your window wipers are in good working condition or replace them if necessary.

• Make sure that your tyres have an adequate tread of at least 1mm.

• Check that your spare wheel is in good condition and that you have all the necessary tools to change a wheel.

• Ensure you’re in the correct lane and your speed limit is appropriate to the regulatory sign that informs you of the legally allowed speed.

• When changing lanes or making turns, always check your blind spots for other motorists.

• To avoid fatigue, make sure that you get enough sleep the night before, to keep your mind fresh along the way.

• If you are driving long distances, try to drive with a person in the car and if you feel tired or you are about to nod off, open windows immediately and stop as soon as it’s safe to do so and stretch a bit.

CMH Isuzu East Rand would like to wish you all a safe and happy festive season. Let’s all be wise and save each other’s lives.
