Vehicle care 157
Caution
Drive slowly. Excessive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes
from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards, not faster than 80 km/h nor
further than 100 km. In all other cases
and when the transmission is
defective, the front axle must be
raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of your Holden
Dealer.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace cap.
The best method is to have the
vehicle transported using a recovery
vehicle.
Appearance care
Exterior care
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned
off immediately, as they contain
aggressive constituents which can
cause paint damage. Failure to do so
may result in permanent damage,
particularly in hot weather conditions.
Road bloom is a gradual build up of
road and environmental grime. This
should be removed with a paint
cleaner product, in addition to normal
washing, on an annual basis.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. Never use an automatic
wash that requires anything touching
the paint (other than water).The
windscreen wipers and rear window
wiper must be switched off.
Remove antenna and external
accessories such as roof racks etc.
To remove the roof antenna, rotate it
anti-clockwise. To install the roof
antenna, rotate it clockwise.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet, as well as the
areas they cover.
