Page 144 NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY CERTIFICATE New Vehicle Warranty application This Warranty is given by Holden Ltd., ABN 84 006 893 232, ('Holden'). The Warranty applies to the vehicle identified on the inside front cover of this Owner's Handbook. It is provided to the original and subsequent owners / operators driving the vehicle within Australia during the Warranty Period.
Page 145 (c) failure to carry out proper maintenance services (d) use of incorrect types and grades of fuel, oil or lubricants (e) alteration of the vehicle by anyone not authorised by Holden (f) fitting of parts or accessories not recommended by Holden (g) any work carried out on the vehicle by anyone except a Holden Retailer or authorised Service Outlet.
Page 146 Purchased at retail or trade Parts and Accessories purchased at trade or retail and installed by other than a Holden Retailer or authorised Service Outlet are warranted for 1 year from the date of purchase. Please keep a receipt to support warranty claims.
Page 147 Holden Selling Retailer whenever Holden Warranty service is needed. However, if this is not possible, you may go to any other Authorised Holden Retailer. The details recorded inside the front cover of this handbook will be required by the Holden Retailer.
Page 148 Q 5. Will I have to pay for maintenance costs during the Warranty Period? Maintenance costs are not covered by the Holden New Vehicle Warranty. The maintenance schedule in Chapter 12 specifies the minimum maintenance required for your vehicle operating under normal conditions.
Page 149 All parts and labour used in carrying out Holden Warranty service at the premises of the servicing Holden Retailer are free of charge. Whenever Holden Warranty service is to be carried out by the servicing Holden Retailer it is your responsibility to deliver your vehicle to the servicing Holden Retailer’s premises.
Page 150 Australia wide. We hope the need never arises, but if it does, we’ll be there to help through Holden Roadside Assistance. How does Holden Roadside Assistance work? Holden Roadside Assistance is provided by Holden Ltd.
Page 151: Holden Retailers
Holden Roadside Assistance stays with the vehicle, so if you sell your vehicle during the 36 month period, it is still eligible for the balance of the Holden Roadside Assistance. The new owner simply registers for the service by using the change of ownership form supplied in the Roadside Assistance booklet.
Page 152 Normally, any problems with the sales, operation, servicing or the validity of original equipment supplied with your vehicle will be handled by your Holden Retailer’s Sales and Service Department. We realise however that, with the best intentions, misunderstandings do occur sometimes.
Page 153 AFTER SALES FOR NEW ZEALAND HOLDEN OWNERS The information in this Owner's Handbook applies primarily to Australian Holden vehicles and there may be some differences to the Warranty and Owner Assistance provisions for New Zealand. Applicable details for New Zealand are set out in the Holden Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet enclosed in the New Zealand glovebox wallet.

Page 173 Chapter 10 10-3 TOW AND LOAD LOADING THE VEHICLE cont. Gross Vehicle Mass (weight) The Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is the maximum that a vehicle is allowed to weigh when fully loaded. This must include any luggage, passengers, roof rack load and a full tank of fuel.
Page 174 Holden does not accept liability for defects occurring in towing equipment that is not marketed by Holden or for defects arising from the use of such equipment or for loss or injury caused by use of such equipment.
Page 175 Chapter 10 10-5 TOW AND LOAD TOWING cont. Tow ball load The tow ball load is the weight on the tow ball when the packed trailer / caravan is hitched.

Page 180 Should dirt accumulate and become embedded in the material pattern, do the following: 1. Using lukewarm water and soap or Holden Velour Fabric and Vinyl Cleaner, work up thick suds on a piece of cheesecloth and apply to the surface. Use a soft bristle brush to remove stubborn stains or dirt embedded in the grain of the material.
Page 181 Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this can severely weaken them. Cleaning interior glass Clean the interior glass area of the vehicle with Holden Glass Cleaner and a clean soft cloth. Take care not to damage the demister when cleaning inside the rear window.
Page 182 Chapter 11 11-4 CLEANING CARING FOR PAINT To help preserve your vehicle's new finish, give special attention to treating those conditions that can damage the paint. Conditions include: Road bloom: Oils, dirt, exhaust and other pollutants may combine to affect the paint finish if they are allowed to build up over a long period of time.
Page 183 Commercial bitumen and rubber materials can damage PVC coating. Have all work on the underbody performed by a Holden Retailer, as it requires knowledge of the specified materials and experience concerning their application.
Page 184 Thoroughly rinse the tyres. Do not use petrol to clean tyres. Original or 'new' tyre look can be restored using Holden Tyre and Bumper Shine. Alloy wheels (if fitted) To preserve the original appearance of alloy wheels, keep them clean and free from road dirt.
Page 185 Use Holden Glass Cleaner and wash each section of the glass in turn, making sure that the water, its container and the sponge are clean and free from grit. Old linen cloth is better than new material for polishing glass.
