1 General Information
The HSV WL is a new design featurin g new HSV major assemblies such as body styli ng, seats, suspension, engi ne and
exhaust system, new HSV body components, and new HSV internal fittings and convenience items. These HSV
components, assemblies and fittings are not described in service-type man uals produced for standard H old en models.
The purpose of this Suppleme nt is to provide information on the unique HS V components fitted to HSV WL vehicles. The
information in this document i s designed to supplement the informati on contained in the Holden WL Service Informati on,
and details are given where differences occur between the HSV models and standard Holden models. A series of
instruction drawings describe the design changes and indicate specific part numbers, fitting instructions and relevant
notes for vehicle servicing.
This supplement is divided into Sections and each Section addresses a specific subject - for example, Section D
discusses Brake Systems. In addition, supplementary Service Bulletins will be issued (as the need arises) to describe
service operations on new systems and/or new vehicles not previously described in this supplement. These
supplementary Service Bulleti ns will be issued in numerical sequence.
Terms used in this document accord with the contents of International Standard ISO 1087 (1990). In addition, other
terms are used to indicate that precautions must be taken during the servicing procedures that follow. The terms used
are Caution and Note, and these terms have the following meanings:
A CAUTION (as shown) will precede any text
which if not correctly followed may cause
personal injury, damage to equipment or
corruption of digital data.
NOTE
A NOTE (as shown) will precede any servicing
procedure, technique, or inf ormation which need s
special attention and needs to be highlighted.
