238 Vehicle care
Door drain holes
• Clear drain holes at the bottom
of the door panels from dirt and
other foreign materials which
could trap water inside the
panels.
• Clean clogged drain holes with a
plastic pin or peg.
• Avoid scratching the paint work.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage with
a touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or
rust areas repaired by your Holden
Dealer.
Caution
Do not spill coolant on the
vehicle’s exterior surfaces as it
can damage the paint work. If
you do, wash it off immediately.
Underbody
Substances can cause rust under
the vehicle.
• Hose the underbody with clean
water whenever the vehicle is
washed.
• Where the vehicle is exposed
to heavy concentrations of
corrosive materials, inspect and
wash the complete underbody at
least once each year, preferably
after winter exposure.
Interior care
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. Never use
carbon tetrachloride, petrol
or naphtha for any cleaning
purpose. Ensure that the vehicle
is well ventilated while using any
cleaners and always follow the
cleaning product manufacturer’s
recommendations. Water
based cleaners, rather than
solvent based cleaners, are
recommended.
Steam cleaning of seats is not
recommended.
