; 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.
