Caution
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 specied 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
Voluntary Warranty to the extent
that Holden considers that the
additives affect the specications
and quality of the vehicle.
USE OF FUEL
CONTAINING ETHANOL
When purchasing such fuel, we
recommend that the vehicle be
operated on fuel containing no
more than 10% ethanol.
Under no circumstances
should fuel containing more
than 10% ethanol be used.
Use of such fuels may result
in engine malfunction, starting
and operating difculties and
materials degradation. These
adverse effects could result
in permanent damage to the
vehicle and 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 fuel containing more
than 10% ethanol may also affect
your New Vehicle Voluntary
Caution
Warranty to the extent that
Holden considers that the fuel
affects the specications and
quality of your vehicle.
The use of any fuel, other than
the fuel specied below, may
seriously damage the vehicle
and may void the warranty. Only
clean fuel of good quality should
be used.
Fuel type
Use unleaded petrol of regular
91 Research Octane Number (RON)
rating or higher.
Use of Premium unleaded petrol
(95 RON or higher) may provide a
small improvement in performance
and fuel economy.
