About the Catalytic Converter
Do not touch the catalytic converter or any
other part of the exhaust system while the
engine is running as it is very hot and could
result in bums.
Rememberthat your Hyundai dealer is your
best source of assistance.
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic
converter cause it to operate at very high tem-
peratures. As a result, the introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline may cause it to
overheat and create a fire hazard.
This can be avoided by observhig the foltowing:
o
o
Use unleaded fuel only.
Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex-
tremely high converter temperatures can
result from improper operation of the electri-
cal, ignition or fuel injection systems.
If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is
hard to start, take your car to your Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible and have the
difficulty corrected.
o
o Avoid driving with avery low fuel level. Ifyou
run outof gasoline, it could cause the engine
to misfire and result in excessive loading of
the catalytic converter.
o
Avoid idling the engine for periods longer
thanlOminutes.
o
Your Hyundai should not be either pushed
or pulled to get it started.
This can cause the catalytic converter to
overioad.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai overany
combustible material such as grass, paper,
leaves or rags. As these materials could
come in contact with the catalytic converter
and could cause a fire.
