EXHAUST WARNING - CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
• Exhaust gases can produce 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. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area (such as a
garage) any longer than needed to move the vehicle.
FUEL WARNING
• Fuel is extremely ammable and highly explosive.
• Always switch off the engine and any mobile phones when refuelling.
• Do not smoke or allow open ames or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling.
• If fuel fumes are smelt while driving, the cause should be found and corrected
without delay by a Holden Dealer.
WARNING – 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 Warranty to the extent that Holden considers that
the additives affect the specications and quality of the vehicle.
LPG conversion
Your vehicle was not designed to be converted to LPG. Holden does not provide LPG
conversion kits for these vehicles. Your New Vehicle Warranty may be invalidated to
the extent that any LPG alterations affect the specications of your vehicle. Refer to
the Service/warranty booklet.
