may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
After starting the disabled vehicle
and removing the jumper cables,
allow it to idle for several minutes.
Towing the Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not lash
or hook to suspension
components. Use the proper
straps around the tyres to secure
the vehicle. Do not drag a locked
wheel/tyre while loading the
vehicle. Do not use a sling type
lift to tow the vehicle. This could
damage the vehicle.
Holden recommends a flatbed tow
truck to transport a disabled vehicle.
Use ramps to help reduce approach
angles, if necessary. A towed
vehicle should have its drive wheels
off the ground. Contact a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
