164 Driving and operating
Mobile phones and CB radios
Mobile phones and CB radio
equipment used inside the vehicle:
• Which use an integrated
antenna, may cause interference
and temporarily affect the
vehicle’s electronics
Permanent damage is unlikely
• That use an antenna fitted to the
outside of the vehicle, should be
used whenever possible
If phones or CB radios with an
integrated antenna must be used
inside the vehicle, avoid operating
near the instrument panel.
Water crossing
Before crossing water:
• Switch off the air conditioning.
• Do not attempt to drive through
water more than 300 mm deep.
Brakes
Antilock Brake System
(ABS)
The ABS:
• Continuously monitors the
vehicle’s braking system
preventing the wheels from
locking up.
• Allows maximum braking effort
while full steering control is
retained, even in the event of
panic braking.
Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking
risks when driving. Traffic safety
can only be achieved by adopting
a responsible driving style. The
vehicle’s speed should always be
adjusted to suit road and traffic
conditions.
• Never drive into fast running
water. The force of the water
can easily move the vehicle
sideways, possibly into deeper
water.
Deep water
• Drive very slowly through deep
water. Driving too fast may cause
water to enter the engine and
cause major damage.
• Immediately after driving through
deep water, drive slowly and
check the brake pedal force.
If the brakes are wet, press firmly
several times to dry them out
quickly.
• If the vehicle is stationary in
deep water for an extended time,
water may have entered the
engine, transmission, differentials
and wheel bearings. Contact
a Holden Dealer as soon as
possible.
