186 Vehicle Care
Caution
Condensation may temporarily
appear on the inside of exterior
lamp lenses after rain or washing
the vehicle. Condensation occurs
when there is a temperature
difference between the inside and
outside of the lamp allowing a fine
mist on the inside surface of the
lamp lens. This condensation will
disappear when the vehicle is in a
dry environment or the lamp is on.
If water does collect in the lamp
contact a Holden Dealer.
Air intakes
Clear debris from the air intakes,
between the bonnet and
windscreen, and below the front
bumper when washing the vehicle.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be
treated with wax or polishing
agents.
Windows and windscreen
wiper blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window
cleaner and insect remover.
.
Never use abrasive cleaners to
clean glass.
.
Refer to a Holden Dealer for
windscreen washer additive.
.
Old wiper blades can cause
windscreen scratching.
Regularly inspect and
replace them.
Caution
Do not operate the wiper blades
by hand as this damages the
wiper drive mechanism.
When cleaning the rear window,
make sure the heating element
inside is not damaged.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a
soft cloth and window cleaner.

Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.

Remove oil and grease with
soap and water or detergent.

Use a good quality tyre and
bumper shine if required.

A good quality wheel cleaner
can be used for cleaning alloy
wheels.
