o
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 burns.
Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your
best source of assistance.
About the Catalytic  Converter
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 observing the following:
o
H020C01S-GAT
EGR SYSTEM
o
o
Use unleaded fuel only.
;
For a diesel engine
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.
Avoid driving  with a  very low  fuel level. If
your run out of gasoline, it could cause the
engine  to misfire  and  result in  excessive
loading of the catalytic converter.
Avoid idling  the engine  for periods  longer
than 10 minutes.
Your Hyundai should not be  either pushed
or pulled to get it started. This can cause the
catalytic converter to overload.
This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by
recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into the
engine.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
;
For a diesel engine
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida-
tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car-
bon monoxide,  hydrocarbons and  particulate
contained in the exhaust gas.

Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any
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.
