168 Driving and operating
Warning
FUEL
Fuel is extremely ammable and
highly explosive.
Always switch off the engine
of the vehicle and any mobile
phones when refuelling.
Do not smoke or allow open
ames or sparks near the vehicle
when refuelling.
If fuel fumes are detected while
driving, the cause should be
found and corrected without
delay by a Holden Dealer.
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 specied 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 the additives
affect the specications and
quality of the vehicle.
USE OF FUEL
CONTAINING ETHANOL
When purchasing such fuel,
we recommend 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 difculties 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.
