; 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
corrected.
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.
;
For a gasoline engine
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.
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.

About the Catalytic Converter
Catalytic  Converter
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:
HFC505
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  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.
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.
