SERVICING
ABNORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If your car is driven under any of the abnormal conditions listed below it is recommended
that some items be serviced more frequently than shown in the Maintenance Plan.
The extra services are only required while your car is driven under the abnormal
operating condition. If you operate under any of these conditions on a one off basis, e.g.,
holiday trip, then an extra service should be for that time only. As a guide, if you operate
continually for a period of one month or 1,000 km under the abnormal condition, then
this could require additional services.
If you consider that further servicing is required, due to the type of driving or before a
long trip, please discuss the situation with the service manager of your Holden Dealer.

Brake fluid deteriorates with time and should normally be replaced every two years.
*
However, heavy duty towing requires fresher fluid due to the higher demand on the
brake system. Therefore, brake fluid should be replaced each year if a 1,600 kg (or
higher) tow bar is fitted, so that the brake system can cope with the next year's towing
requirements.
