222 Vehicle care
Buying new tyres
Refer to the tyre placard on the
vehicle for tyre size and load rating.
Using a different size or type of tyre
may affect:
• Ride
• Handling
• Speedometer accuracy
• Vehicle ground clearance
• Tyre clearance
• Snow chain clearance
Tyres with heavy treads and those
made for better grip in the wet,
should only be operated within
the limits recommended by the
manufacturer.
Replacing the factory fitted wheels
and tyres with non-genuine Holden
wheels and tyres may affect the New
Vehicle Voluntary Warranty as well
as the vehicle’s insurance policy.
Contact a Holden Dealer for advice
on suitable tyres.
Tyre changing
Warning
Use the jack only for lifting the
vehicle when changing wheels and
lifting the spare wheel carrier.
Do not jack a vehicle with a trailer
attached. Remove the trailer first.
Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack. No person
should place any portion of their
body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is supported by
the jack.
All passengers should be out of
the vehicle when it is being jacked.
Use the jack only at the designated
lifting points and spare wheel
carrier. Use in other locations may
result in the vehicle falling of the
jack, or damage to the vehicle.
The vehicle should only be jacked
on hard, level surfaces.
Wheel alignment
and tyre balance
Improper wheel alignment or
balance can cause:
• Tyres to wear fast and unevenly
• The vehicle to pull to one side
• Vibration
If any of these problems exist,
have the vehicle checked by a
Holden Dealer.
