About the Catalytic Converter
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks,
or is hard to start, take your car to
your Hyundai authorised repairer
as soon as possible and have the
difficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. If you run out of gasoline, it
could cause the engine to misfire
and result in excessive loading of
the catalytic converter.

For a Petrol Engine
The catalytic converter is part of the
exhaust emission control system. Its
purpose is to remove certain engine
emission products from the engine's
exhaust. It looks something like a
muffler and is located underneath the
car in the exhaust system.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either
pushed or pulled to get it started.
This can cause the catalytic con-
verter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai
over any combustible material such
as grass, paper, leaves or rags.
o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the ex-
haust system while the engine is
running.
Catalytic Converter
H020A01JM-D
Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter cause it to operate
at very high temperatures. As a re-
sult, 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 Use only unleaded fuel.
o Remember that your Hyundai
authorised repairer is your best
source of assistance.
o Maintain your engine in good con-
dition. Extremely high converter
temperatures can re-sult from im-
proper operation of the electrical,
ignition or M.P.I. system.
