TOW & LOAD
Your car is designed primarily as a passenger car, so handling, durability and economy
may be affected by towing a caravan or trailer.
Refer to the chart on the facing page to see which equipment is specified as essential
and which equipment is recommended for the weight you are towing. Your Holden
Dealer will help supply and install towing equipment to suit your requirements. Note
that regulations covering the maximum towing capacity varies from State to State.
Never exceed the loads given for the towing equipment fitted to your car. For your
safety and your car's durability, all essential equipment must be fitted. Otherwise you
may void your New Vehicle Warranty, to the extent that Holden considers the
overloading or missing equipment to have affected the specifications or quality of your
car.
Driving speed
When towing up to 1,600 kg maximum driving speed is as per the State's Law.
When towing between 1 ,600 kg and 2,100 kg maximum driving speed must not exceed
80 km/h.
CAUTION: 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 liabilitv for defects occurrina in towina
equipment not marketed by Holden or for
equipment. The use of such equipment may void your New Vehicle Warranty, to the
extent that 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.
