Maintenance
•
Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi-
cle for any extended time with the
engine running.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
In other words, the active burning by
engine control system and high exhaust
gas temperature caused by normal/high
driving condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
•
When the engine stalls or fails to start,
excessive attempts to restart the
engine may cause damage to the
emission control system.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5 minutes
or more).
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at low speed for long time, the
accumulated soot may not be automati-
cally removed because of low exhaust
gas temperature. In this particular case,
the amount of soot is out of detection
limit, the soot oxidation process by
engine control system may not happen
and the malfunction indicator light may
blink.
•
Do not modify or tamper with any part
of the engine or emission control sys-
tem. All inspections and adjustments
must be made by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
•
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.
WARNING - Fire
A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehi-
cle. Do not park, idle, or drive the
vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as grass, vegetation,
paper, leaves, etc.
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).
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter
and
to
your
vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.
If the malfunction indicator light contin-
ues to be blinked in spite of the proce-

Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
HYUNDAI dealer and then check the
DPF system.
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-
tem removes the soot emitted from the
vehicle.
•
Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gaso-
line engines.
If you continue to drive with the malfunc-
tion indicator light blinking for a long
time, the DPF system can be damaged
and fuel consumption can be worsen.
•
Do not operate the vehicle when there
are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-
formance.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition.
