The vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger vehicle, so handling, durability and economy may be affected by towing a trailer. Your Holden Dealer will help supply and install towing equipment to suit your requirements. Trailer towing 3 136.
Holden towing equipment is recommended where it is available. Where it is not available, no recommendation is made as to the make of equipment to be used. Holden will not accept liability for defects occurring in inappropriate towing equipment or for defects in the vehicle arising from the use of such equipment or for loss or injury caused by use of such equipment.
Page 139
Driving and operating Towing with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) You may hear noise from the ESC modulator when it is working. The ESC is reacting to the vehicle movement caused by the trailer, which mainly occurs during cornering. This is considered normal when towing heavier trailers. Recommended procedure for attaching a trailer When a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, it places a weight on the tow bar.
Page 140
Driving and operating If the attitude of the vehicle is compromised, adjust the vehicle and trailer load within the specifications to improve the attitude. If the vehicle attitude cannot be corrected, use a load distribution hitch. Note At no time may the maximum towing capacity exceed the maximum specified. Refer to Maximum towing capacity previously in this chapter.
Page 141
Remember that bull bars may affect airbag operation. Running in before towing Holden recommends that you drive your new vehicle for at least 1,500 km before towing. If you must tow in the first 1,500 km of the vehicle's life, do not exceed 80 km/h.
Page 142
Driving and operating Vehicle maintenance More frequent vehicle maintenance is required when using the vehicle for towing. Refer to the Service & Warranty Booklet in the vehicle's glovebox.
Driving and operating Trailer stability assist If the system detects snaking movements, engine power is reduced and the vehicle/trailer combination is selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible. Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a function of the Electronic Stability Control 3 114.
