Product Information
What is SIDI?
SIDI stands for Spark Ignition Direct Injection.
Advantages of SIDI:
- Better fuel economy than some four-cylinder cars on some models
- More power
- Reduced CO2 emissions
- Smoother drive
- Cabin quietness

Advantages of AFM:
- Adapted for your driving conditions
- Fuel efficiency improvements
- Reduced CO2 emissions
- Seamless transition between four and eight cylinders
- Still experience the outstanding power of the Gen IV V8 engine

- Much less expensive fuel than petrol
- Dual fuel capability also gives you added flexibility
- No significant performance difference between LPG and petrol
- Switch seamlessly between petrol and LPG
- More kilometres between fills

- Mostly renewable and sustainable fuel
- Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
- Higher octane rating than petrol
- Better for our lungs
- Helps reduce Australia's dependence of foreign oil

ESC stands for Electronic Stability Control. ESC constantly compares the vehicles movements with the steering wheel angle to determine if the vehicle is moving in the direction you intend. If skidding appears imminent, ESC applies brake pressure to individual wheels as appropriate and, if necessary, trims engine power. This dramatically increases turning and cornering safety, especially in 'evasive action' situations.

Designed to minimise slippage during acceleration, TCS recognises if either the rear wheel has insufficient grip and adjusts drive force and brakeforce accordingly. It reduces wheelspin when accelerating on wet and icy roads, and also in 'split' conditions, such as when a vehicle has two wheels on bitumen and two on a gravel verge. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. If wheel 'lock up' is detected under forceful braking, ABS momentarily reduces brake pressure at the affected wheel. This improves braking efficiency - reducing stopping distances on most surfaces - and helps maintain steering control to ensure the vehicle remains directionally stable. EBA stands for Electronic Brake Assist. In emergency braking situations, few drivers actually press the brake pedal firmly enough to achieve maximum braking performance. EBA is designed to sense how fast you press the brake pedal in an emergency, and maximise braking pressure to optimise braking performance. EBD stands for Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. When a vehicle brakes, weight transfers to teh front wheels. By regulating the brakeforce applied to each wheel, EBD ensures optimal balance between front and rear brakes, which helps minimise stopping distances. Some models in the Holden range come fitted with Bluetooth. The Bluetooth car kit allows you to answer incoming calls on your mobile phone without looking at or touching your mobile phone. Your Bluetooth voice capable phone need only be inside the vehicle for it to connect to the Bluetooth car kit.
Most models can be fitted with Bluetooth if it does not come standard.
