Caution
FUEL ADDITIVES Petrol
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.
Warning
USE OF FUEL CONTAINING
ETHANOL Petrol
When filling the fuel tank with an
ethanol-petrol fuel blend, under
no circumstances should fuel
containing more than 85%
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.
The use of fuel containing more
than 85% ethanol may also affect
your New Vehicle Voluntary
Warranty to the extent that
Holden considers that the fuel
affects the specifications and
quality of your vehicle.

Warning (Continued)
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 vehicle may be refuelled with
E10, E85 and unleaded fuel
containing no ethanol. It is
acceptable to mix these fuels in
any combination.
In cold ambient temperatures you
may experience an increase in
the time it takes for the engine to
start. If you are experiencing cold
start issues with only E85 in the
fuel tank, it is advised to fill the
fuel tank with a mixture of
E85 and unleaded petrol.
