Diesel Particulate Filter
(If Installed)
If the malfunction indicator light con-
tinues to be blinked in spite of the
procedure, please visit an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and then check the
DPF system.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can be
damaged and fuel consumption can be
worsen.
H020C01S-GAT
EGR SYSTEM
;
For a diesel engine
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot emitted from
the vehicle.
This system helps control oxides of
nitrogen by recirculating a part of the
exhaust gas into the engine.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning by
engine control system and high ex-
haust gas temperature caused by nor-
mal/high driving condition burns and
removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at low speed for long time, the
accumulated soot may not be auto-
matically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this par-
ticular case, the amount of soot is out
of detection limit, the soot oxidation
process by engine control system may
not happen and the malfunction indica-
tor light may blink.
When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60km/h (37
mph) or at more than second gear with
1500 ~ 2000 engine rpm for a certain
time (for about 25 minutes).
