Driving and operating 165
Operation
ABS operation is noticeable by
pulsing of the brake pedal and the
noise of the regulation process.
The initial self-check may also be
audible.
Keep the brake pedal fully pressed
throughout the braking process,
without pumping it. Pumping the
brake pedal can reduce brake
efficiency.
Caution
When the ignition is turned on,
the
u
is illuminated for a few
seconds.
If
u
does not extinguish, or
illuminates when driving, a
malfunction has occurred.
Note
The vehicle’s brake system
remains operational, but without
ABS assistance. Have a Holden
Dealer check the system as soon
as possible.
Brake pedal
Where possible, avoid braking hard.
Smooth operation of the brake pedal
will increase the life of the brakes
and reduce wear.
If the brakes do not operate
normally, contact a Holden Dealer.
Electric Park Brake (EPB)
The vehicle has an Electric Park
Brake (EPB).
Warning
Driving while
R

injury to yourself and others.
Have the brake system checked
immediately if this occurs.
• The EPB can be activated when
the ignition is on or off.

illuminates.
• If does not come on or flashes:
Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible and contact a Holden
Dealer immediately.
• Do not operate the switch
repeatedly when the engine is
off, to avoid draining the battery.
