ATTENTION
HSV vehicles are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). An SRS consists of seat belt pre-
tensioners (fitted to all front seats), a driver’s-side air bag, a passenger’s-side air bag and left and right hand
side air bags. Refer to CAUTIONS, Section 12M, of the Holden WK Service Information before performing any
service operation on or around SRS components, the steering mechanism or wiring. Failure to follow the
CAUTIONS could result in personal injury or unnecessary SRS system repairs.

1 General Information
The HSV WK is a new design featuring new HSV major assemblies such as body styling, seats, suspension, engine 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 manuals produced for standard Holden models.
The purpose of this Supplement is to provide information on the unique HSV components fitted to HSV WK vehicles. The
information in this document is designed to supplement the information contained in the Holden WK Service Information,
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 Bulletins 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 information which needs
special attention and needs to be highlighted.

2 HSV Build Plate
HSV vehicles can be identified by the HSV Vehicle Build Plate, which is mounted in the engine compartment. An
example of an HSV Build Plate is shown in Figure A-1. New for the WK is a black over gold finis h instead of the clear
anodizing of previous models.
