spots of tar. Use tar removal spray

underside of the vehicle.

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.
Exterior Lamps
Headlamp and other lamp covers
are made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive, solvent based cleaners or
caustic agents and do not
dry-clean them.
Air Intakes
Clear debris from the air intakes,
between the bonnet and windscreen
and below the front bumper, when
washing the vehicle.
Shutter System
The vehicle may have a shutter
system designed to help increase
fuel economy. Keep the shutter
system clean for proper operation.
Polishing and Waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be
treated with wax or polishing
agents.
Windows and Windscreen Wiper
Blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window
cleaner and insect remover.
.
Never use abrasive cleaners to
clean glass.
.
Refer to a Holden Dealer for
windscreen washer additive.
