Your vehicle is fitted with emission control systems which are designed to reduce the
amount of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
that are emitted from the engine and fuel system into the atmosphere. Hydrocarbons
and oxides of nitrogen, when exposed to sunlight under certain conditions, contribute
to photochemical smog. In addition, carbon monoxide is toxic when it becomes highly
concentrated in the air.
Owner responsibility
Vehicles sold and serviced within Australia have been designed to comply with
Australian Design Rules and State Regulation emission requirements.
The engine or exhaust system of your vehicle must NOT be modified in any way. Any
change to the Manufacturer's design may increase the emissions or otherwise defeat
the intent of the regulations.
WARNING:
Any person who removes, modifies or hinders any part of the emission
control system fitted to a vehicle will be contravening Australian Design
Rules. Refer to A.D.R. 28/01 (External Noise for Motor Vehicles) and
Barina – A.D.R. 37/01 (Emission Control for Light Vehicles) or Combo – A.D.R.
79/00 (Emission Control for Light Vehicles).
It is also illegal to drive a vehicle modified in this way.
Maintenance requirements
To ensure continuing compliance with the regulations you must maintain your
vehicle's emission control system as per your vehicle's service manual, at the
frequency shown in the Maintenance schedule in Chapter 12.
It is recommended that the necessary servicing be performed by an authorised
Holden Retailer who has the specialised servicing equipment and trained personnel
available to ensure that the adjustments and services specified are carried out.
