288 Vehicle Care
Tyre condition is checked when the
vehicle is serviced by a Holden
Dealer. They are able to diagnose
any unusual signs of wear. If tyres
are rotated, it is recommended that
balance be checked at the
same time.
Tyre Chains
{
Warning
Tyre Chains are only permitted on
front tyres of size; 225/65R17.
.
Use low profile chains that
add no more than 12mm
thickness to the tyre tread
and inner sidewall.
.
Use chains that are the
correct size for the tyres.
.
Install the chains on the
tyres of the front axle only.
.
Drive slowly and follow the
chain manufacturer's
instructions.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.
If the chains contact the
vehicle, stop and re-tighten
them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with
chains on will damage the
vehicle.
.
Chains must not be fitted to
a compact / temporary
spare tyre.
.
Check the tyres are inflated
to the correct pressure. See
Tyre Pressure 0 322
When using tyre chains the Traction
Control System (TCS) and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system may engage. Only disable
the TCS and ESC if it is safe to do
so. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 210 .
If a Tyre Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tyre to blow out
while driving, especially if the tyres
are maintained properly. See
Tyres
0 285 . If air goes out of a tyre, it is
much more likely to leak out slowly.
But if there is ever a blowout, here
are a few tips about what to expect
and what to do:
If a front tyre fails, the flat tyre
creates a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer to
maintain lane position, and then
gently brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and
may require the same correction as
used in a skid. Stop pressing the
accelerator pedal and steer to
straighten the vehicle. It may be
very bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
