This section is designed to assist you to understand the Holden Warranty
provided with your new vehicle which is in addition to your Statutory Rights
which cannot be excluded, limited or restricted by this Holden Warranty.
The following are some of the most frequently asked questions for which detailed
answers are provided.
Q 1. How do I go about obtaining Holden Warranty service?
It is the responsibility of the Selling Dealer to provide Holden Warranty service,
therefore, you should take your vehicle to the Selling Dealer whenever Holden
Warranty service is needed. However, if this is not possible, you may go to any
other Authorised Holden Dealer. The details recorded inside the front cover of
this service booklet will be required by the Dealer.
Q 2. What should I do if my vehicle becomes unsafe or inoperative as a
result of a defect which is covered by the Holden Warranty?
You should contact the nearest Authorised Holden Dealer or Holden Roadside
Assistance as soon as possible, and arrange for that Dealer to carry out the
required Holden Warranty service.
Q 3. What should I do if, in an emergency, Holden Warranty service
is required and an Authorised Holden Dealer is not available to
provide such service at the time?
Subject to your Statutory Rights, if, in an emergency, a repair, replacement or
adjustment (covered by the Holden Warranty) is required to enable your vehicle
to be operated safely and it is not practical for you to go to an Authorised Holden
Dealer, the service (to the extent that it is necessary to enable your vehicle to be
operatedsafely)maybeperformedbyanyotherqualiedmechanicorrepairer.
A claim for the reasonable cost may be made under the Holden Warranty
through the Authorised Holden Dealer who would normally provide you with
Holden Warranty service. You must also take your vehicle to the Authorised
Holden Dealer for inspection of the service and/or completion of any required
Holden Warranty service, as soon as possible.
Note: During normal business hours, you should seek authorisation from your
nearest Authorised Holden Dealer or Holden Customer Care, prior to repairs
under your Holden Warranty being commenced.

Q 4. Is damage or injury, loss of time, inconvenience, commercial or other
direct or indirect loss covered by the Holden Warranty?
No, these items are not covered under the Holden Warranty. Holden Warranty
only covers the repair, replacement or adjustment of those parts of your
vehicle which are found to be defective in materials or workmanship. No other
types of claim for compensation of any kind, even if the same resulted from a
consequence of a defect in materials or workmanship in your vehicle, will be
recognised under the Holden Warranty.
You may have rights under your non-excludable Statutory Rights to claim
compensation or other remedies outside of the Holden Warranty, but any claim
based on those rights should be separately pursued.
Q 5. Will I have to pay for maintenance costs during the Holden
Warranty Period?
Maintenance costs are not covered by the Holden Warranty. The Maintenance
schedules in this service booklet specify the minimum maintenance required for
your vehicle operating under normal conditions.
Subject to your Statutory Rights, the Maintenance items (except where they are
required as a result of defects in materials or workmanship) for which you will
have to pay include:
• Engine tune-up, including spark plugs replacement.
• Replacementofalllters,engineandotherbelts,hoses(includingLPG
hoses) wiper blades and clutch linings.
• Cleaningorushingoffuel,coolant,brake,engine,transmission,power

Q 6. Will I have to pay for any costs or expenses in connection with the
provision of Holden Warranty service?
All parts and labour used in carrying out Holden Warranty service at the
premises of the servicing Holden Dealer, are free of charge. Whenever Holden
Warranty service is to be carried out by the servicing Holden Dealer it is your
responsibility to deliver your vehicle to the servicing Holden Dealer’s premises.
If, as a result of a defect which is covered by the Holden Warranty, your vehicle
cannot be driven safely and you arrange for the nearest Authorised Holden
Dealer to carry out the required Holden Warranty service, Holden will accept
reasonable towing costs to move your vehicle to the nearest Holden Dealer’s
premises. Before employing a towing company, contact the nearest Holden
Dealer or Holden Roadside Assistance Service or Holden Customer Care to
obtain guidance.
Q 7. Would my vehicle’s engine benet from fuel additives, oil additives
or coolant additives not marketed by Holden?
Your Holden is engineered to perform at its optimum using Holden
recommendedlubricantsanduids.Theuseofsupplementaladditivesisnot
recommended as their use not only increases operating costs, but may indeed
be harmful to your vehicle.
Any negative impact or consequences due to the use of additives may affect the
validity of your Holden Warranty.
OnlytheuidsandlubricantsreferredtointheOwner’sManualshouldbe
used.

Distance / Time based service intervals
The Complimentary inspection is due at 1 month of owning your new Holden.
Therstscheduledmaintenanceserviceisdueat1yearor15,000km
(whicheveroccursrst)fromtakingdeliveryofyourvehicleandthereafter,every
1yearor15,000km(whicheveroccursrst).
Additional services are required under certain driving conditions, such as when
towing. Refer to Maintenance Schedule further on in this booklet.
Complimentary inspection
The 1 month Complimentary inspection is performed free of charge by the
Selling Dealer.
A different Holden Dealer may perform this inspection if provided with
authorisation from the selling Dealer.
Determining the proper service interval
The operating conditions of your vehicle will determine the service interval. Use
the timeintervalortheodometerreading,whicheveroccursrst,todetermine
whentheserviceisdue.Itisimportanttorememberthatoilsanduidsinyour
vehicle will deteriorate over time, therefore if your vehicle has not travelled the
speciedserviceintervaldistance,thevehiclemust be serviced by time interval.
Under certain operating conditions, your Holden may require additional servicing
to ensure maximum safety, performance and longevity.
The additional service requirements typically include more frequent replacement
oflubricatingoilsforexample,engineandtransmissionuidsandthemore
frequent inspection of steering, suspension and brake system components. For
more information please refer to Maintenance Schedule further on in this booklet.
Your Holden Dealer will be able to determine the appropriate service
requirements for your vehicle according to your operating conditions.

your Holden Dealer.

Your Holden Dealer
When it comes to service, remember that your Holden Dealer has the trained
personnel and specialised equipment to correctly service your vehicle. Your
Dealer invites you to return for all your service needs both during and after the
HoldenWarrantyPeriod.
The safety, economy, emission control, performance and reliability of your
vehicle cannot be assured unless regular maintenance is performed, preferably
by factory-trained technicians at Holden Dealers.
