Power steering
The power steering fitted to the
vehicle has been designed to
reduce steering effort.
Do not turn and hold the steering
wheel in the fully turned position
when stationary.
If power steering is not working, due
to the engine stalling for example,
the vehicle can still be steered.
Have the steering repaired as soon
as possible by a Holden Dealer.
Mobile phones and CB radios
Use mobile phones and CB
equipment that utilise an antenna
fitted to the outside of the vehicle
whenever possible.
If using mobile phones or CBs with
an integrated antenna inside the
vehicle, avoid using near the
dashboard area, as some functions
may be affected.
Loading the vehicle
Loading the vehicle changes
handling when driving. See Vehicle
Weight on page 12-5.
Loose articles
Do not leave loose articles or
luggage in the passenger
compartment. Secure in the boot.
Warning
Portable gas cylinders can leak,
creating a risk of fire or explosion.
As a precaution, ensure adequate
ventilation when carrying gas
cylinders. They must be
restrained from rolling around and
where possible, placed in the
boot of the vehicle. It is
recommended that if gas
cylinders are frequently
transported that a purpose-built
carrying compartment be used.
Ensure any transportation of gas
cylinders complies with the
applicable regulations.
Driving and Operating
Tyre grip
Tyre grip decreases when water,
snow, ice, gravel or other materials
are on the road. Adjust your driving
to the road conditions:
Reduce speeds during wet
conditions.
Replace tyres when tread wear
indicators are visible. See Tread
Depth on page 10-41.
Regularly check that tyres are
properly inflated. See Tyre
Pressure on page 10-37.
Water crossing
Before crossing water, switch off the
air conditioning.
Crossing deep water can damage
the engine:
Avoid crossing water deeper
than 175 mm.
Limit vehicle speed to a
walking pace.
