Page 234: Exterior Checks
Chapter 7 WEEKLY CHECKS EXTERIOR CHECKS MISCELLANEOUS CHECKS As well as taking the vehicle to be serviced, there are a few simple, weekly checks that the owner/operator is recommended to make. These are shown on the following pages. WARNING If the engine temperature is high, the cooling fan may remain on for several minutes after switching off the ignition.
Page 235 Chapter 7 WEEKLY CHECKS EXTERIOR CHECKS cont. TYRES Air pressure Weekly checking of the air pressure in the tyres (including the spare) ensures your safety, as well as reducing fuel consumption and increasing the life of the tyres. For constant long distance or rough road driving, daily checking is recommended.
Page 236 At sustained high speeds, this type of tyre runs at higher temperatures than standard tyres. Only operate them within the limits recommended by the manufacturer. Any doubts about the tyres on the vehicle should be referred to your Holden Dealer.
Page 237 Chapter 7 WEEKLY CHECKS EXTERIOR CHECKS cont. Tyres with a higher speed or load rating are acceptable, provided they are fitted to a suitable rim size. Note New tyres should be fitted in pairs to the front. If replacing only one tyre, it should be paired on the same axle with the least worn of the other three.

Page 241 Chapter 7 WEEKLY CHECKS UNDER BONNET CHECKS cont. Engine oil consumption Every internal combustion engine uses a certain amount of oil, especially when running in. The engine is dependent on oil for lubricating critical areas, such as the cylinder walls, pistons, rings and valve stems. These parts are all sub ected to high friction loads and will prematurely wear out without a constant supply of engine oil.
Page 242 If, after taking into account the above factors, you are still concerned that your engine has excessive oil consumption then consult your Holden Dealer. Remember that an 10,000 engine's oil consumption should not be judged until it has run at least...

Page 260 Chapter 9 T OW AND LOAD LOADING THE VEHICLE MAXIMUM FRONT AND REAR AXLE LOADS Do not exceed the maximum axle loads shown in the diagram, including the weight of any fitted accessories. If unsure, the vehicle should be weighed at a weighbridge. T his ensures the vehicle's axles have sufficient strength to carry the total weight and still retain a considerable capacity safety margin to cope with weight transfer as the vehicle brakes, accelerates, corners and goes over bumps.
Page 261 Chapter 9 TOW AND LOAD LOADING THE VEHICLE cont. NO TES ON LO ADING THE VEHICLE Place heavy objects in the rear load area as far forward as possible against the rear bulkhead. When stacking objects, place the heavier objects at the bottom. Unsecured objects in the rear load area could be thrown forward with great force during heavy braking or in an accident.
Page 262 Chapter TOW AND LOAD LOADING THE VEHICLE cont. SECURING CARGO WARNING Do not operate the vehicle with the tailgate in the open position as cargo may fall from the load area and the number plate will be obscured from view. Do not use the moulded ribs in the rear load area to secure cargo.
Page 263 Holden will not accept liability for defects occurring in towing equipment not marketed by Holden 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 268 Chapter 10 10-2 CLEANING INTERIOR CLEANING WARNING Many cleaning products are toxic, flammable or may damage the interior. 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.
Page 269 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 de mister.
Page 270 Chapter 10 10-4 CLEANING EXTERIOR CLEANING CARING FOR PAINT WARNING Do not spill coolant on the vehicle's exterior surfaces as it can damage the paint work. If y ou wash it off immediately. To help preserve that shiny new vehicle finish, pay special attention to correctly treating those conditions that can damage the paint.
Page 271 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 272 Chapter 10 10-6 CLEANING EXTERIOR CLEANING cont. AIR INTAKES The intake area between the bonnet and windscreen can collect leaves which impairs air flow into the vehicle. Also, the air intake area below the front bumper can collect leaves and road grime, which impairs engine cooling. Refer to Exterior checks in chapter 7.
Page 273 However, the use of a good quality Polymer Glaze, such as Holden Quick and Easy Speed Finish, approximately every 3 months will reduce the effects of road bloom by removing natural contaminants which can build up on the paint.
Page 274 Use a good quality glass cleaner, such as Holden Glass Cleaner, and wash each section of glass in turn, making sure that the water, its container and the sponge are quite clean and free from grit.
