Note: When fitting the cargo barrier behind the front seats, the long straps and centre legs are required.
Page 216 Do not attach (drill, rivet, stick and so forth) objects to the front or rear of the cargo The maximum load for a genuine Holden cargo barrier is 60 kg single mass. That is, if an object weighs 60 kg, only one object is permitted behind the cargo barrier.
Page 217 Chapter 10 9-11 TOW and LOAD VERTICAL CONVENIENCE NET* The vertical convenience net has been designed to fit behind the rear seats to help contain light objects stored in the rear cargo area.

Page 219 TIE-DOWNS* Recommended procedure for using tie-downs When carrying heavy loads in the cargo area, Holden recommends using the tie-down system. It is designed to hold loads in place and reduce load impact to passengers in an accident. Remove the protective strips* along the two tie-down rails running the length of the rear cargo area.
Page 220 The protective strips* should be in place. WARNING: The maximum load for the tie-down system is 80 kg single mass when used in conjunction with the Holden-approved straps. That is, if an object weighs 80 kg, only one object can be held by the tie-down system.
Page 221 CONVENIENCE NET Recommended procedure for using the convenience net Holden recommends using the convenience net when carrying light loads in the cargo area. It is designed to keep light objects in the load area tidy, not for anchoring. Remove the protective strips* along the two tie-down rails running the length of the rear cargo area.
Page 222 Unsecured loads increase the risk of injury during heavy braking, sudden avoidance manoeuvres or a collision. Use only the Holden recommended and approved tie-down straps and convenience net to secure your loads. Do not use elasticised straps. Never attach more than one tie-do\�vn strap to any single t!e-dovvn anchor.

When cleaning the interior, avoid volatile cleaners such as acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers, nail polish removers, or cleaners such as laundry soaps, bleaches or reducing agents. Never use carbon tetrachloride, petrol or naphtha for any cleaning purpose.
Page 227 Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. Interior glass Clean interior glass of the vehicle using a good quality glass cleaner, such as Holden Glass Cleaner, and a clean soft cloth. Take care when cleaning inside the rear window so as not to damage the rear window demister or radio antenna.
Page 228 Do not use a sponge or cloth at this point. Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and add no more than two capfuls of gentle detergent, such as Holden Hi Suds Car Wash. Do not use hot water, strong soap or chemical detergents.
Page 229 10 1 Chapter CLEANING EXTERIOR CLEANING cont. WARNING: Take care when moving the vehicle after washing, in case water has affected the brakes. Applying the brakes lightly will indicate whether they have been affected. To dry them quickly, lightly apply the brakes while maintaining a slow forward speed with a clear area ahead, until brake performance returns to normal.
Page 230 Use a good quality glass cleaner, such as Holden Glass Cleaner, and wash each section of glass in turn, making sure the water, its container and the sponge are quite clean and free from grit. Clean, old linen cloth is better than new material for polishing glass.
Page 231 After the windscreen has been cleaned with a wet sponge, wipe it over with a soft, lint free cloth or chamois. It is recommended that a good quality windscreen washer additive, such as Holden Optikleen, be added to the windscreen washer reservoir.
