Driving and Operating
.
The M10 anti-rattle bolt and nut
should be removed when towing
to prevent damage to the bolt or
tow bar tongue.
Trailer Brakes
.
Trailer brakes are mandatory on
trailers with a trailer mass of
more than 750 kg.
.
Consult the appropriate
regulatory body in your State or
Territory for the legal
requirements of trailer brakes.
Running-in when Towing
It is recommended that a new
vehicle be driven for at least
1,500 km before towing.
If towing is necessary before this,
do not exceed 80 km/h. This also
applies if the vehicle is fitted with a
new or reconditioned engine,
transmission or rear axle.
Off-Road Loading and Towing
To reduce the risk of damage to the
vehicle (and trailer) and to improve
safety when operating the vehicle
off-road, reduce its speed and
minimise the load being carried or
towed.
Vehicle Maintenance
More frequent vehicle maintenance
is required when using the vehicle
to tow. Refer to the Service/
Warranty Booklet in the vehicle's
glovebox.
Trailer Sway
Control (TSC)
If the system detects trailer sway
movements, engine power is
reduced and the vehicle/trailer
combination is selectively braked
until the trailer sway ceases. While
the system is working, keep steering
as still as possible.
TSC is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system and
may be disabled by turning the
Traction Control System (TCS) or
ESC off. See

Add-Ons
Add-On Electrical
Equipment
Fitting Driving Lamps
Do not fit any accessory over the
upper or lower air intakes at the
front of the vehicle, as this may
affect engine cooling.
The Holden Genuine Accessories
are an exception, however they
should be removed in high load and
high temperature conditions.
Caution
In high load and high temperature
applications (e.g. towing) no
objects should be fitted over the
upper or lower air intake at the
front of the vehicle, as this could
affect cooling. This includes
removing Holden Genuine
Accessories in this area, in these
conditions.
