; For a diesel engine
o 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 cor-
rected.
o 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.
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped
with oxidation type catalytic converter
to reduce the carbon monoxide, hy-
drocarbons and particulate contained
in the exhaust gas.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.

About the Catalytic Converter
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. As
these materials could come in con-
tact with the catalytic converter and
could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the ex-
haust system while the engine is
running as it is very hot and could
result in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai
dealer is your best source of assis-
tance.
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:
Catalytic Converter
HTB178
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 Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good con-
dition. Extremely high converter
temperatures can result from im-
proper operation of the electrical,
ignition or fuel injection systems.
