FUEL
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.
Gases could be inhaled 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 the 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. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area (such as the
garage) any longer than is needed to move the vehicle.
FUEL WARNINg
• 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 smelt while driving, the cause should be found and corrected
without delay by your Holden Dealer.
WARNINg – 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 Warranty to the extent that Holden considers that
the additives affect the specifications and quality of the vehicle.
