Page 128 Chapter 6 EMERGENCIES ACCIDENTS All drivers are advised to learn what to do at the scene of an accident, particularly where people are injured. Injured people can choke to death if their air passages are not cleared, they can bleed to death unless the bleeding is stopped, they may require mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or may have to be moved, even though badly injured.

Page 131 Chapter 6 EMERGENCIES FLAT TYRE cont. 1. Park on a hard, level surface, in a safe location, and set the park brake firmly. Turn the hazard warning flashers on. 2. Remove the ignition key and place manual transmissions in REVERSE gear or automatic transmissions in PARK.
Page 132 Chapter 6 EMERGENCIES FLAT TYRE cont. Undo the nut in the centre of the spare wheel anticlockwise and lift the wheel out of the vehicle. The jack, combination jack handle / wheel wrench and nut cap tool (if fitted) are stored in a special container in the floor, which is tool under the spare wheel.
Page 133 Chapter 6 EMERGENCIES FLAT TYRE cont. 5. If the wheel trim covers the wheel nuts, remove as follows: If individual wheel nut caps are fitted, remove each nut cap individually, using the nut cap tool provided. Insert the nut cap tool into the nut cavity, squeeze the tool to grasp the nut cap and pull outwards to remove it.
Page 134 Chapter 6 EMERGENCIES FLAT TYRE cont. 10. Raise the vehicle until the tyre is clear of the ground. Remove the wheel nuts and place together in a dry place to avoid getting dirt in the threads. Exchange the wheel on the vehicle with the spare wheel. Note: The tyres fitted to your vehicle may have an arrow on the tyre wall, showing the direction the tyre is designed to rotate when the vehicle is moving forward.
Page 135 Chapter 6 EMERGENCIES TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE Towing a disabled vehicle Proper lifting or towing equipment is necessary when lifting or towing the vehicle to prevent damage. State and Local laws must be followed. In an emergency, your vehicle may be towed on all four wheels in the following manner: •...

Page 138 Chapter 6 6-12 EMERGENCIES ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING: Immediate action is required if the engine overheats. This can be indicated by the temperature gauge needle moving over to the 'H' or the animated warning 'Engine Temp Hot' appearing on the central display (refer to Chapter 1), by steam escaping from under the bonnet, a loss of power or a loud knocking or pinging noise.
Page 139 Chapter 6 6-13 EMERGENCIES ENGINE OVERHEATING cont. When the engine has cooled sufficiently, check the radiator level as follows. Cover the radiator cap with a thick cloth and turn it slowly anticlockwise (without pressing down) until it reaches a 'stop'. This is the pressure relief stop, which allows any remaining pressure (indicated by a hissing sound) to escape.
Page 140 This is particularly important if the engine is supercharged, as these engines have three air bleed points. It is recommended that air bleeding be done by your Holden Retailer who has the most up-to-date technical information and equipment for the system. You should have the air bled as soon as possible on supercharged engines or they may be damaged due to overheating.
Page 141 Chapter 6 6-15 EMERGENCIES FLAT BATTERY WARNING: DO NOT 'push start' or 'tow start' your vehicle, either manual or automatic. If unburnt fuel were to reach the catalytic converter and ignite, the converter could overheat or be destroyed by backfire. Therefore, if the battery is flat, you can 'jump start', but not 'push start' your vehicle.
Page 142 Chapter 6 6-16 EMERGENCIES FLAT BATTERY cont. 3. Attach one end of the RED jumper lead to the positive terminal (A) of the booster battery (identified by a red colour, + or P) and the other end of the RED jumper lead to the positive terminal (B) of the flat battery.
Page 143 Chapter 6 6-17 EMERGENCIES AIRBAGS Your vehicle is fitted with a driver's airbag, stored inside the steering wheel ('SRS AIRBAG' is stamped on the steering wheel and a label is attached under the driver's side sunvisor). Your vehicle also has a front passenger's airbag, stored in the dash panel.
Page 144 This is to indicate that the airbags are operational. If the light does not show when the ignition is switched on, or if it illuminates when driving, you should contact your Holden Retailer immediately, as the airbags and seat belt pretensioners may not function correctly in the event of an accident.
Page 145 6-19 EMERGENCIES AIRBAGS cont. The system should also be inspected by a Holden Retailer if the dashboard area or steering wheel is scratched, cracked or damaged, or, if side impact airbags are fitted, the front seats are damaged. Extensive design and testing has gone into the Holden airbag system. However, it should be treated with respect.
Page 146 Chapter 6 6-20 EMERGENCIES BULB REPLACEMENT Notes when replacing bulbs: • Always turn off the related switch. • It is important to fit only bulbs of the specified wattage. • Do not touch new bulbs or reflectors with bare hands. Greasy fingers cause stains which evaporate, eventually resulting in a dull reflector.
Page 147 Chapter 6 6-21 EMERGENCIES BULB REPLACEMENT cont. Headlights – outboard low beam (55 Watts) H11 1. Open the bonnet. Refer to 'Front lights' previously described in this chapter for access instructions. 2. Turn the outboard dust cap anticlockwise and remove from the rear of the headlight assembly.

Page 166 Refer to Chapter 8 ‘Specifications’ for the correct power steering fluid to use. Do not over fill and remember to replace the cap tightly. If you often need to add fluid, you should see your Holden Retailer. Remember to secure the cap when the level is correct and clean up any spillage.
Page 167 / balance, tyre pressures etc. Tyre condition is checked for you when you take your vehicle to be serviced by your Holden Retailer, who is able to diagnose any unusual signs of wear. If the tyres are rotated it is recommended that the balance be checked at the same time.
Page 168 Out-of-balance wheels and tyres can cause annoying vibration and uneven tyre wear. If you suspect either of the above problems exist have a wheel alignment and balance check carried out by your Holden Retailer. Replacement and repair Replacing your factory fitted wheels and tyres with non-specified wheels and tyres may affect your warranty as well as your insurance policy.
Page 169 The fluid level of the battery will be checked for you when you take your vehicle to be serviced by your Holden Retailer. If your vehicle is operated in hot temperatures or at constant high speed the battery fluid level should be checked each month.
