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 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 Vehicle Warranty to the
Caution
extent that Holden considers 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
1.8 Litre Engine
Use of clean, unleaded petrol of
91 Research Octane Number (RON)

The use of premium unleaded petrol
of 95 RON or higher may provide
a small improvement in engine

1.4 Litre Engine
Use of clean, premium unleaded
petrol of 95 Research Octane
Number (RON) rating or higher is
recommended.
The use of premium unleaded petrol
of 98 RON or higher may provide
a small improvement in engine
response and fuel economy.
The use of unleaded petrol of
91 RON rating may be used where
95 RON is not available, however
a reduction in performance may be
noticed.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
Purchasing your fuel from a
reputable fuel retailer may reduce
the risk of purchasing fuel which
contains abnormal fuel properties.
Equivalent standardised fuels with
an ethanol content of max. 10% by
volume may be used.
