Engine Exhaust - HOLDEN MY18 TJ Trax Owner's Manual

148 Driving and operating
Warning
Be careful where you park or
drive. As with any vehicle, do
not park or operate the vehicle
in areas where combustible
materials such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with
a hot exhaust system.
Exhaust gases are hazardous,
especially if they concentrate in
closed rooms.
Never leave the engine running
in an enclosed space such as a
closed garage or underground
car park.

Engine exhaust

Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless
and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
repaired by a Holden Dealer.
Avoid driving with an open
tailgate, otherwise exhaust gases
could enter the vehicle.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gas.
Caution
Use of low quality fuel or fuel
with too low an octane number
may damage the engine, the
catalytic converter or electronic
components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of
the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
If the engine misfires, runs unevenly,
engine performance is reduced or
other problems occur, contact a
Holden Dealer as soon as possible.
In an emergency, drive for a short
period, keeping the vehicle and
engine speed low.
