220 Driving and Operating
Towing
Handling, durability and economy
may be affected by towing a trailer.
For mandatory towing equipment,
see “Towing and Loading
Equipment” later in this section.
A Holden Dealer will assist with
supply and installation of towing
equipment.
Overloading
Never exceed the loads given for
the towing equipment fitted to the
vehicle.
All mandatory equipment must be
fitted, otherwise vehicle warranty
may be affected to the extent that
Holden considers the overloading or
missing equipment to have affected
the specifications or quality of the
vehicle. See “Towing and Loading
Equipment” later in this section.

Warning
Holden towing equipment is
recommended where it is
available. Where it is not
available, no recommendation is
made as to the make of
equipment which should be used.
Holden will not accept liability for
defects occurring in towing
equipment not marketed by
Holden or for defects in the
vehicle arising from the use of
such equipment or for loss or
injury caused by use of such
equipment. The use of such
equipment may void your vehicle
warranty, to the extent Holden
considers the non-recommended
equipment affects the
specifications or quality of your
Holden vehicle.
It is inadvisable to mix and match
different brands of towing
equipment, as equipment is
usually designed as an integrated
package.
Trailer Recommendations
A trailer hitched to a vehicle places
a weight on the tow bar. This weight
is called the tow bar ball weight or
tow ball load (1).
