1 Purpose

The purpose of this section is to provide information on the wheels, tyres and steering wheels fitted to the HSV

Avalanche AWD model. The information is designed to supplement that given in the Holden Adventra AWD series

Service Manual and detai ls ar e given where differences oc c ur between the HSV models and stan dard Hold en models. A

series of instruction drawings describe the design changes and indicate specific part numbers, fitting instructions and

relevant notes for vehicle serv icing.

NOTE:

If specific technical data on a HSV model is not

contained in this supplement, obtain data for that

model from the relevant Holden Adventra AWD

series Manual Supplement. References are

made throughout this section to Holden Service

specific service operations.

When hoisting (or jacking) HSV models,

ensure that the lifting h ead of the hoist lifts on

the chassis before the arm of the hoist

contacts the side-skirt

2 Wheels And Tyres

2.1 General Description

HSV Avalanche AWD models are fitted with alloy wheels developed specifically for HSV application. Each wheel is

manufactured from a single-piece alloy casting.

NOTE:

Specific wheel nuts are used to attach alloy

wheels to the vehicle. These nuts are fitted with

a plastic dress cap which must be removed prior

to undoing the wheel nuts.

HSV Avalanche AWD wheels do not have a

steel insert and therefore require wheel nuts

with a flang ed seat as per the VT, VT2 and VX

wheel nuts, 10B-970304. Do not use VS

wheels nuts on HSV Avalanche AWD wheels.

3 Service Operations

Alloy wheels fitted to all HSV vehicles are to be serviced in accordance with the procedures detailed in the relevant

Holden Service Manual, refer to Section 10 – Wheels And Tyres. In addition, particular care should be taken with the

surface finish of alloy wheels. The manufacturer recommends that alloy surfaces be treated the same as high-gloss

painted services to prevent corrosion and genera l deteriorat ion.

3.1 Wheel and Tyre Balancing

In order to balance the HSV Design wheels and t yre assemblies, refer to the relevant Hol den series Service Information,

refer to Section 10 – Wheels And T yres of the Holden Adventra Service Information.

3.2 Tyre Placard And Pressures

The HSV Tyre Placard is posit ioned on the opening of the right hand door. The Tyre Placard details important

information on the tyre pressures recomme nded for the HSV Avalanche AWD Series Models. If carrying load, or

travelling at high speed, the t yre pressur es n eed to be increased as detailed on the placard. This is very important for

tyre wear and also to ensure that the tyres have sufficient load carrying capac ity.
