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.
ETHANOL
WARNING – PETROL ENGINE
• Under no circumstances should you use fuel containing more than 10%
ethanol. Use of such fuels may result in engine malfunction, starting and
operating difculties, and materials degradation. These adverse effects could
result in permanent damage to your vehicle and personal injury. Purchasing
your 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.
•
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.
