200 Driving and operating
Warning
FUEL
Fuel is extremely flammable and
highly explosive.
Always switch off the engine
of the vehicle and any mobile
phones when refuelling.
Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refuelling.
If fuel fumes are detected while
driving, the cause should be
found and corrected without
delay by a Holden Dealer.
Caution

FUEL ADDITIVES

Various additives are used in the
formulation of good quality fuel
and the use of supplementary
additives in fuel is not required
unless specified by Holden.
Under no circumstances should
fuel containing the manganese
additive known as MMT (methyl
cyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl) be used, as this
additive is known to cause
contamination of catalytic
converters, spark plugs and
the malfunction of On-Board-
Diagnostic (OBD) systems. The
use of fuel additives that are
not recommended by Holden
may affect your New Vehicle
Voluntary Warranty to the extent
that Holden considers that the
additives affect the specifications
and quality of the vehicle.
Caution
USE OF FUEL
CONTAINING ETHANOL
When purchasing such fuel, we
recommend that the vehicle be
operated on fuel containing no
more than 10% ethanol.
Under no circumstances should
fuel containing more than 10%
ethanol be used. Use of such fuels
may result in engine malfunction,
starting and operating difficulties
and materials degradation. These
adverse effects could result
in permanent damage to the
vehicle and personal injury. It is
also important to note that when
ethanol blends are used, fuel
consumption can be expected to
increase due to the lower energy
content of ethanol.
The use of fuel containing more
than 10% ethanol may also affect
your New Vehicle Voluntary
Warranty to the extent that Holden
considers that the fuel affects the
