INSTRUMENTATION

INSTRUMENTS

Tachometer



The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (RPM).

Speedometer



The speedometer shows vehicle speed in kilometres per hour (km/h).

Fuel gauge



The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition is on:

E = empty, F = full. Note

• Additions of fuel less than 15 litres can take up to 10 minutes to register on the fuel

gauge. Larger amounts show almost immediately. This prevents fuel movement from registering on the gauge when cornering.

• Petrol engines: Avoid letting the tank run empty; this can cause damage to the

catalytic converter.

• Diesel engines: if run dry, the fuel system must be bled. Refer to Diesel fuel lter in

chapter 6.

Refer to Specications in chapter 8, for fuel tank capacity.

Temperature gauge



The temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition

is on. Stop-start driving in heavy trafc, driving at high speed in warm weather, hill

climbing or towing may cause the needle to move toward the H. This is normal and no cause for concern. However, if the needle moves all the way to H and remains there for more than 30 seconds, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Refer to Engine overheating in chapter 6.

H = hot, C = cold.

Chapter 1A

DASHBOARD

INSTRUMENTATION cont.

Odometer/tripmeter



The odometer records kilometres travelled since the vehicle was built. The tripmeter shows the kilometres travelled from the start of a particular trip.

There are two independent tripmeters which can be reset to measure the amount of kilometres travelled from a point.

To toggle between Trip A and Trip B, press the tripmeter button located next to the temperature gauge.

To reset the selected tripmeter, press and hold the tripmeter button.

Digital clock

When the ignition is in the ACC or ON position, the digital clock displays the time. There are 3 adjusting buttons:

H Hour button.

• To advance 1 hour, press the H button.

• To advance more than 1 hour, press

and hold the H button until the correct hour is reached.

M Minute button.

• To advance 1 minute, press the

M button.

• To advance more than 1 minute, press

and hold the M button until the correct minute is reached.

S Set button. To reset the time to the nearest hour, press the S button.

• If the S button is pressed when the time is between 8:00 and 8:29, the display will

round down to 8:00.

• If the S button is pressed when the time is between 8:30 and 8:59, the display will

CRUISE CONTROL cont.

Turning the cruise control off

Press the ON OFF button. The lamp extinguishes.

Note Switching off the ignition deactivates cruise control and clears the speed memory.

WARNING

• Do not use the cruise control when road or driving conditions require varying speeds. A constant speed is not practical in heavy or varying trafc or on

winding, slippery or rough roads.

• Remember that when the cruise control is maintaining the vehicle’s speed, taking your foot off the accelerator pedal does not reduce the speed. To deactivate the cruise control, press either the brake pedal, press the ON OFF button or press the CANCEL button once. This deactivates the cruise control.

• The cruise control does not apply the vehicle’s brakes. The vehicle may gain speed when going down steep hills.

• When climbing steep hills (particularly when towing), the vehicle may lose speed. In this case, use the accelerator pedal. Release the accelerator pedal when the speed returns to the set speed.

• The cruise control is cancelled if the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) becomes active.

VENTILATION SYSTEM

The vehicle features a ow-through ventilation system for comfort. Under reasonable

conditions, it should not be necessary to open the windows at any time. Outside air is drawn into the vehicle through the opening between the bonnet and the windscreen, unless recirculation has been selected. Do not allow this grille to become clogged with debris, such as leaves or snow. Any leaves should be removed each time the vehicle is washed (recommended weekly).

VENTS

The air can be directed to different types of vents.

Chapter 1A

The face vents have adjustable vanes which can be adjusted up or down and left or

right to allow directional control of air ow.

These vents have shut-off doors which can also be used to adjust the air volume to suit

individual comfort. For example, air ow at the centre vents can be reduced to enhance air ow at the side vents.

The oor-level and demister outlets are xed, as these direct air to the windscreen, feet

and side windows.

NOTES

Unsealed roads (prevention of dust entry)

When following another vehicle on unsealed roads (and the dust is airborne), select recirculation. If the dust is not airborne select outside air (recirculation off) and set the fan to high speed. This builds up positive air pressure to help prevent dust entry. Ensure in both cases that all windows are closed.

Note Recirculation uses interior air and is therefore not recommended for long periods of time.

Hissing

Occasionally a slight hissing sound may be heard for a short time when the air

conditioning switches off and pressure in the system equalises. This is normal.

Water

Water condensation forms when the air conditioning is operating. This condensation is discharged underneath the vehicle. Therefore, traces of clean, clear water on the ground underneath the vehicle are normal under these circumstances.

Engine performance/fuel economy

The air conditioning uses power from the vehicle’s engine. A small decrease in engine power and a minimal increase in fuel consumption will be noticed when the air conditioning is in use. When driving at high speeds, the air conditioning compressor may switch off momentarily so that full engine power is available.

Cigarette smoke

If occupants are smoking, it is recommended that the recirculate position not be used.

Regular running

It is important that once every 2 weeks, with the engine running, the air conditioning is switched on for 5 to 10 minutes (even in winter) to lubricate the air conditioning system seals.

Pollen/dust lter

A passenger compartment air lter is tted to lter outside air entering the vehicle. The lter removes contaminants such as pollen and dust. The pollen/dust lter will be

NOTES

What the system does

In automatic operation the system responds quickly to cooling and heating requirements. It is not necessary to set a cooler or hotter temperature than required to ensure fast

cooling or heating. The system should be left in automatic operation, so that it can:

• turn the air conditioning on and off,

• vary the temperature of the air entering the cabin,

• recirculate interior air or take air in from outside the vehicle,

• vary the fan speed,

• select the vents through which the air is delivered. The angle of the vents may need adjusting manually, at various times to direct cool air

onto your body on hot days, or past your body on mild days.

Engine performance/fuel economy

Adjusting the temperature

When the climate control system has stabilised and you wish to adjust the setting, it is recommended that the adjustment be made 1 degree at a time until the desired comfort level is reached. Comfort settings depend on clothing, acclimatisation and the angle at which you have directed the vents.

Quick cool down

To aid the climate control when rst entering the vehicle on a hot day, open the windows

to allow the hot air to escape. After a minute or two, close the windows to allow the system to work more effectively.

Hissing

Occasionally a slight hissing sound may be heard for a short time when the air

conditioning switches off and pressure in the system equalises. This is normal.

Water

Water condensation forms when the air conditioning is operating, this condensation is discharged underneath the vehicle. Therefore, traces of clean, clear water on the ground underneath the vehicle are normal under these circumstances.

Note Recirculation uses interior air and is therefore not recommended for long periods of time.

Sensors

The climate control uses three different sensors to maintain the desired temperature.

• The vehicle’s sunlight sensor monitors the solar radiation and uses the information

to maintain the selected temperature when operating in the AUTO mode by initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery system. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the sunlight sensor. Refer to Dashboard layout previously in this chapter.

• The outside temperature sensor is located in front of the radiator and relies on air

moving across the sensor. It can be affected by radiant heat when the vehicle is stationary.

• The in-car temperature sensor  is located on the climate control panel. This

measures the temperature inside the vehicle. The automatic climate control uses this sensor to receive information. It is important not to cover the sensor (for example, with stickers) to make sure it will function accurately.

Switching the climate control off

If the climate control is switched off:

• background noises may still be noticed coming from the system. It continues to

operate to ensure that when the system is switched back on, it will be as close as possible to the temperature set before it was switched off.

• outside air is still selected. This may result in the interior becoming too hot or too

cold. If this is the case, select recirculation.

Cigarette smoke

If occupants are smoking, it is recommended that the recirculate position not be used.

Regular running

It is important that once every 2 weeks, with the engine running, the air conditioning is switched on for 5 to 10 minutes (even in winter) to lubricate the air conditioning system seals.

RADIO OPERATION

RADIO RECEPTION

Due to varying reception locations, audio systems have performance limitations that may on occasions create the impression that your radio is malfunctioning.

AM and FM

There are two types of radio broadcasts in Australia. Amplitude Modulation (AM)

in which the amplitude of the signal is varied to produce the sound and Frequency Modulation (FM) in which the frequency is varied to produce the sound.

Range

AM broadcasts tend to follow the earth’s curvature and also reect from the upper

atmosphere which enables long range reception especially after sunset.

FM transmissions are basically line-of-sight (similar to TV signals) and are reected by

buildings, mountains etc. but not by the upper atmosphere.

Interference

Interference is caused by local electrical disturbances. This can affect the amplitude of the signal being received.

AM signals are more prone to this type of interference than FM signals. This type of

interference has little or no effect on the frequency of the received signal thus AM is susceptible to interference from power lines, uorescent lighting, neon signs, trafc

light control circuits, overhead tram wires and electrical storms.

With FM reception these amplitude variations are ltered out leaving a relatively clear

signal, (refer to Peculiarities of FM mobile reception below) making this one of the major advantages of FM broadcasts.

Peculiarities of FM mobile reception

A mobile FM receiver can not be expected to continuously provide the quality of FM

reception you may have experienced on your home receiver. Contrary to popular opinion, FM broadcasts are not static free, and although your new radio has a built-in electronic interference absorption circuit some static will be evident from time to time especially in areas without a direct line of sight to the transmitter.

Your radio is also equipped with a soft mute function. The purpose of this is to attenuate

the treble and audio level in weak signal areas to reduce the annoying background hiss which is customary to weaker FM reception. There are two phenomena peculiar to FM reception:

• Flutter – As FM signals reect off solid objects it is possible to pass through areas

of SHADOW caused by tall buildings or hilly terrain which effectively blocks out the signal. As the vehicle passes in and out of shadow areas the level of signal will vary

at a rapid rate, creating a utter type of interference to the signal.

• Distortion (multipath) – Distortion may occur when the direct signal from the

transmitter and a reected signal reach the antenna at the same time and either

cancel or aid each other, like ghosting on a TV. This results in intermittent distortion

of the signal while moving or constant distortion when stationary such as at a trafc

light or when parked.

Should this distortion occur while stationary, moving the vehicle approximately 1

or 2 meters would on most occasions correct the problem. Circuitry has also been included in this radio to reduce this type of distortion.

PLAYING CDs

PLAYING A CD(S)

As each CD is inserted and loading, le check will appear on the display. Once playback

begins, the track and track number will appear on the display. If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player, it will stay in the player. When

a CD is in the player and the ignition is turned on, the radio must be turned on before the current CD will start playback. When the ignition and radio are turned on, the CD will start playing where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difculty in nding tracks, and/or difculty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the bottom

surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the surface of the CD is soiled, see Care of Your CDs for more information.

If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD. Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded

on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labelling the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen instead.

Note If you add any label to a CD, insert more than one CD into the slot at a time, or

attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could damage the CD player. When using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials,

liquids, and debris.

If an error appears on the display, refer to CD messages further on in this chapter.

CD OPERATION cont.

USING AN MP3/WMA CD

MP3/WMA format

If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal computer:

• Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded on a CD-R disc.

• Do not mix standard audio and MP3/ WMA les on one disc.

• Make sure each MP3/WMA le has a .mp3 or .wma extension, other le extensions

may not work.

• Files can be recorded with a variety of xed or variable bit rates. Song title, artist

name, and album will be available for display by the audio unit when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.

• Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd songs while driving. Organise

songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should

contain 18 songs or less. Make sure to nalise the disc when burning an MP3/WMA

disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to burn the disc all at once.

• The player will be able to read and play a maximum of 50 folders, 5 sessions,

and 999 les. Long le names, folder names may use more disc memory space than necessary. To conserve space on the disc, minimise the length of the le, folder names. You can also play an MP3/WMA CD that was recorded using no le

folders. The system can support up to 8 folders in depth, though, keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD contains more than the

maximum of 50 folders, 5 sessions, and 999 les the player will let you access and

navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum will be ignored.

Root directory

The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio

les, the directory will be displayed as “ROOT”. All les contained directly under the

root directory will be accessed prior to any other directory.

Empty directory or folder

If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed les directly beneath them, the player will advance to the next folder in the le structure that contains compressed audio les and

the empty folder will not be displayed or numbered.

CD OPERATION cont.

No folder

When the CD contains only compressed les, the les will be located under the root

folder. The next and previous folder functions will have no function on a CD that was recorded without folders. When displaying the name of the folder the radio will display “ROOT”.

Order of play

Tracks will be played in the following order:

1. Playback will begin from the rst track under the root directory.

2. When all tracks from the root directory have been played, playback will continue

from les, according to their numerical listing.

3. After playing the last track from the last folder, the player will begin playing again at

the rst track of the rst folder or root directory.

File system and naming

The song name in the ID3 tag will be displayed. If the song name is not present in

the ID3 tag, the radio will display the le name without the extension (such as MP3/

WMA) instead. Track names longer than 32 characters or 4 pages will be shortened. The display will

not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the le name will

not be displayed.

Playing an MP3/WMA

If the ignition or audio system is turned off with a CD in the player, it will stay in the player. When a CD is in the player and the ignition is turned on, the audio system must be turned on before the CD will start playback. When the ignition and audio system are turned on, the CD will start playing where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

KEYS cont.

Pressing buttons

Note When pressing the key buttons, ensure that other keys on the key ring are not

between the key and the vehicle. Other keys can obscure the signal being transmitted to the vehicle. Refer to Notes about the keys further on in this chapter.

Matching transmitter(s) to your vehicle

Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.

If a transmitter is lost, stolen or extras are required, a replacement can be purchased

through your Holden Dealer. Remember to bring any additional transmitters so they can also be re-coded to match the new transmitter.

Once your Holden Dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.

Up to 4 keys can be matched to your vehicle at the same time.

WARNING

The remote control unit contains precision electronic parts. To help avoid transmitter trouble:

• Do not leave the remote control unit in direct sunlight.

• Do not treat the remote control unit carelessly.

• Do not allow the remote control unit to get wet or ingress moisture.

Replacing the battery in the remote control

Replace the battery as soon as the range of the remote control becomes reduced.

1. Remove the back cover by hand.

2. Remove the battery and replace it with

the new one, making sure the positive (+) side of the battery is facing up. Refer to Specications in chapter 8 for the correct battery to be used.

3. Reassemble the transmitter ensuring

the cover is engaged correctly.

4. Test the operation of the transmitter

with your vehicle.

Note

• Avoid touching the at surfaces of the battery with your bare ngers. Handling will

Chapter 2 LOCKS

KEYS cont.

NOTES ABOUT THE KEYS

• When a button on the key is pressed, it sends a signal to the vehicle.

• The remote control in the key has a range of approximately 20 metres. The range is

dependent on the charge state of the transmitter battery and on ambient conditions of the vehicle’s location, the key’s location and the area between them. If the key buttons do not work, change your position to the vehicle and try again. Normally, getting closer to the vehicle will solve the problem. Certain conditions also enable ranges of more than 20 metres. Take care that no button is pressed unintentionally, especially when the vehicle is out of sight.

• Tinting the vehicle windows reduces the range of the key if the tinting material has

a metallic lm.

• The key buttons may not work if the vehicle is parked near strong radio activity,

such as under TV towers (most likely in high lookout car parks).

• At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for any remote keyless

entry system. If the transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer to your vehicle, try this:

• Check the distance. You may be too far from your vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy or snowy weather.

• Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.

• If you are still having trouble, contact your Holden Dealer.

• When, for any reason, pressing the key buttons does not work, the doors can be locked (anticlockwise) and unlocked (clockwise) by turning the key in the driver’s door lock.

• If the vehicle is delivered with only one key, notify your Holden Dealer immediately.

• Always store spare keys in a safe, dry place.

RESTRAINTS

SEATBELTS

WARNING

• Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

• Seatbelts should be adjusted as rmly as possible, consistent with comfort,

to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

• Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

• It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

• Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.

• Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

• No modications or additions should be made by the user which will either

prevent the seatbelt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seatbelt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

Pregnant women

Seatbelts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear a seatbelt. A pregnant woman should wear a lap/sash belt with the lap portion of the belt worn as low as possible below the rounding of their stomach, throughout the pregnancy.

RESTRAINTS cont.

V250_3007

Lap/sash belts

To fasten the seatbelt:

• Pull the metal tongue across your body and clip it into the buckle.

• When the metal tongue is locked safely into place you will hear a ‘click’.

• Give a gentle pull on the buckle to ensure full engagement.

• After fastening, settle the belt at the hip, and run your hand under the sash from hip to shoulder to ensure that the

belt ts comfortably and is free from

twists. Any extra belt length retracts automatically.

• Ensure the lap section of the belt is

also free from twists and ts rmly

across your hips.

Note For your safety, wear the lap section of the seatbelt as low as possible on your hips, not on your waist or abdomen.

The ‘emergency-locking retractor belt’ allows you to move while the vehicle is travelling normally, but locks immediately on fast braking, impact with a solid object

or any quick movement by the wearer.

To undo the belt, press the release button on the buckle and allow the belt to retract. Check that it fully retracts without twisting or turning.

Shoulder height adjust

The seatbelt is anchored to the vehicle near your shoulder. The position of the seatbelt anchor can be adjusted to accommodate the height of the wearer.

Shorter people should select a low anchor position; taller people a higher one. This ensures, for both safety and comfort, that the webbing of the seatbelt ts on the shoulder.

• Press and hold the lock buttons on the adjuster down, then move it up or

down as required.

• Release the adjuster and ensure that the anchor clicks into position.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

WARNING – EXTREME HAZARD

• Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it.

The child could be seriously

injured if the airbag inates, as

the child’s head would be very

close to the inating airbag.

• Remember that it is safest for children to be seated in the rear seats.

WARNING

• Always ensure that the seatbelt ts rmly around the child restraint.

• If a child cannot see out of the window, do not raise him/her by means of an ordinary cushion. It will not stay in place in a collision and the child can slip out of the straps and become entangled.

When travelling in a vehicle, children must be restrained in an appropriate child restraint at all times. The following are guidelines about selecting the appropriate restraint for your child.

Note When installing child restraints in vehicles equipped with head restraints refer to

the illustration further on in this chapter.

WARNING

Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s tting instructions when installing

a child restraint into the vehicle.

Infants

Rearward facing infant capsules are designed so that in the event of a collision, impact forces will be evenly spread over the baby’s back, with minimal jarring to the vulnerable head and neck area.

Recommended weight and height for rearward facing infant capsule

Weight Height Up to 9 kg* Up to 70 cm*

*AS/NZS 1754:2004

RESTRAINTS cont.

Young children

Forward facing child seats are for use when the child is able to sit and easily hold his or her head upright. It is also possible to purchase convertible seats which can be used as a rearward facing child restraint or converted to a forward facing child seat.

Recommended weight for

forward facing child seat

Weight

8 to 18 kg*

*AS/NZS 1754:2004

Booster seats are for when children outgrow a typical forward-facing child seat but they are still too small for lap/sash seatbelts. A booster seat raises the child so that the knees bend comfortably, the lap/sash seatbelt is correctly positioned and the child can see out the window. A rigid booster seat with a back, side wings and sash guide gives the best protection.

Recommended weight for

booster seat with lap/sash seatbelt

Weight

14 to 26 kg*

*AS/NZS 1754:2004

Older children

A child should use a normal lap/sash seatbelt only when:

• he/she can sit against the back of the rear seat with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the seat,

• lap belt rests low and snug across the hips – not across the stomach,

• sash belt is centred on shoulder and chest,

• he/she is able to stay seated like this for the entire trip.

WARNING

• Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed

by correctly tted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seatbelts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the

vehicle.

• Only child restraints that have clips to attach to the vehicle’s anchorage tting

(as shown in the following illustrations) are to be used. Earlier types of child restraints may not attach securely to this type of anchor.

• Use only Standards Australia approved child restraints and harnesses. Only purchase a child restraint which carries the appropriate Standards Australia sticker of approval.

• Where legally allowable, you may install a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, but always move the passenger’s seat as far back as it will go. The forward facing child restraint must still be attached to the left hand child restraint anchorage point, located behind the rear seat.

• Remember, it is safest for children to be seated in the rear seat.

The vehicle is tted with 3 anchorage

points for child restraints. Located behind the rear seat on the parcel shelf.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

AIRBAGS

When airbags inate, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of smokelike gas is released. The gas is harmless and does not indicate malfunction or re. The airbag then deates, with the whole process taking only a moment.

WARNING

• Airbags are part of the ‘Supplemental Restraint System (SRS

do not replace seatbelts. Airbags do not deploy in every accident. Various factors dictate whether they deploy including speed, angle of collision and object hit.

Airbags are not designed to inate if the vehicle is hit from the rear or is involved

in a rollover. Seatbelts must be worn by all passengers whenever the vehicle is moving.

• Airbags inate with great force. If you are too close to an inating airbag it may cause injury. Seatbelts help keep you in position for airbag ination in the

event of a collision.

An SRS warning lamp v on the instrument panel ashes when the ignition is switched to the ON position. This is to indicate that the airbags are operational. If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition is switched on, or if it illuminates when driving, contact your Holden Dealer immediately, as the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not function correctly in the event of an accident.

The system should also be inspected by a Holden Dealer if the dashboard area or steering wheel is scratched, cracked or damaged, or, if Side Impact Airbags (SIAB) are tted, the front seats and upholstery are damaged. If curtain airbags are tted the system should be inspected by a Holden Dealer if the headliner or trim panels are damaged.

Extensive design and testing has gone into the Holden airbag system. However, it should be treated with respect. Any interference with the system could lead to its failure

or to accidental ination.

Any work to the electrical system, steering column, dashboard area, steering wheel,

front seats, headliner and interior trim panels (if curtain airbags are tted) or airbag

system should only be carried out by an authorised Holden Dealer. Note Fitment of roo or nudge bars is not recommended as it may affect crash
