CAUTION
FUEL ADDITIVES – Petrol
Various additives are used in the
formulation of good quality fuel,
and the use of supplementary
additives in fuel is not required
unless specified 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
con tamination of catalytic
converters and spark plugs and
malfunctioning 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
spe cifications and quality of the
vehicle.

CAUTION
USE OF FUEL CONTAINING
ETHANOL – Petrol
When purchasing such fuel, we
recommend that the v ehicle be
operated on fuel containing no
more than 85% ethanol.
Under no circumstances should
fuel containing more than
these percentages of ethanol be
used. Use of such fuels may
result in engine malfunction,
starting and operating difficulties,
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.

CAUTION (Continued)
The use of fuel containing more
than these percentages of ethanol
may also affect your New Ve hicl e
Voluntary Warranty to the extent
that Holden considers that the
fuel affects the specifications and
quality of your vehicle.
The vehicle may be refuelled with
E10, E85, and unleaded fuel
containing no ethanol. It is
acceptable to mix these f uels in
any combination.
The starting characteristics of E85
fuel make it unsuitable for use
when ambient temperatures fall
below −18ºC. In the range of
−18ºC to 0ºC you may experience
an increase in the time it takes for
the engine to start.
The use of any fuel other than the
fuel specified may seriously
damage t he vehicle and may void
