EXHAUST WARNING - CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Exhaust gases can produce carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas, which can cause
unconsciousness and even death to both humans and animals.
You could inhale the gases if the exhaust system on your car is faulty.
To protect against exhaust gases entering the car, the exhaust system and body should
be inspected:
each time the car is serviced,
•
whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system,
•
whenever the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the car is damaged.
•
Take the car to your Holden Dealer if you think your car needs inspecting for any of the
above reasons.
DO NOT SIT (OR LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS) IN A PARKED CAR FOR ANY
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. DO NOT RUN THE
ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA (SUCH AS THE GARAGE) ANY LONGER THAN IS
NEEDED TO MOVE THE CAR.
Driving with the boot open is not recommended. If you must travel with the boot open,
close all windows, ensure that the heater controls are set to outside (rather than re­
circulate) with air directed to the face and the fan on the highest speed. Do not exceed
50 km/h unless necessary.
PETROL CAUTiON:
Petrol is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
•
Always turn off the engine and any mobile phones when refuelling.
•
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the car when refuelling.
•
If petrol fumes are smelt while driving, the cause should be found and corrected without
•
delay.
Petrol - general
The use of any fuel, other than the fuel specified on the following page, may seriously
damage the engine of your car and may void your Warranty. Only clean petrol of good
quality should be used.
Petrol tanks should always be filled at the intermediate or fast fill
oetrol after the oetrol filler first clicks off or petrol blows back- as this allows room for the
·
p
etrol to expan d inside the tank.
It is only permissible to "trickle fill" petrol tanks when the car is to be driven for more than
50 km straight after the tank is filled. However, this is not recommended on days
over 30°C.
Wipe off any overflowing petrol immediately from the car; spray or splash with water
(close the fuel opening before spraying with water).
