EXHAUST WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
• Exhaust gases contain 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 vehicle is faulty.
• To protect against exhaust gases entering the vehicle, the exhaust system and
body should be inspected:
– each time the vehicle is serviced,
– whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system,
– whenever the exhaust system, underbody or rear of the vehicle
is damaged.
• Take the vehicle to your Holden Dealer if you think your vehicle needs
inspecting for any of the above reasons.
• Do not sit (or leave children or pets) in a parked vehicle for any extended
period of time with the engine running. Turn the fan on using any setting that
brings outside air into the vehicle. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area
(such as a garage) any longer than needed to move the vehicle.
• Be sure to seal any unused top strap anchor location holes with the supplied
plug or with a suitable bolt. Otherwise exhaust gas may enter the vehicle
through these holes. See Child restraints in chapter 3, Know your vehicle.
WARNING – USE OF FUEL CONTAINING ETHANOL (PETROL ENGINES)
When purchasing such fuel, we recommend that the vehicle be operated on fuel
containing no more than 10% ethanol. Purchasing fuel from a reputable fuel
retailer may reduce the risk of purchasing fuel with more than 10% ethanol or
fuel which contains abnormal fuel properties. 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,
resulting in permanent damage to the vehicle and the risk of 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 any fuel, other than the fuel specified in this chapter, may seriously
damage the vehicle and may void the warranty. Only clean fuel of good quality
should be used. The use of fuel containing more than 10% ethanol may also
affect your New Vehicle Warranty to the extent that Holden considers that the fuel
affects the specifications and quality of your vehicle.
WARNING – USE OF FUEL CONTAINING ETHANOL (DIESEL ENGINES)
Under no circumstances should you use diesel fuel containing ethanol. 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 your vehicle and personal injury.
