Battery replacement
Warning
A specifi cally developed battery
with a ventilation system is
required for this vehicle. Any
other standard battery may cause
explosive gases to enter the rear
compartment or passenger cabin.
Do not remove the caps on
the top of the battery. The
battery supplied in the vehicle is
maintenance free and does not
require checking or fi lling.
The battery vent tube must be
installed correctly to ensure
the explosive gases are vented
outside the vehicle.
Only use a manufacturer
recommended battery as a
replacement, otherwise the
electric power management
(EPM) system may not operate
correctly.
For replacement, refer to a Holden
Dealer or authorised repairer.
