2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Maintenance
Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
Your vehicle  is equipped with  a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore,   the   following    precautions
must be observed:
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel  Particulate Filter  (DPF)  sys-
tem removes  the  soot emitted  from the
vehicle.
WARNING - Fire
Make   sure   to   refuel   your   vehicle
according  to  the "Fuel  requirements"
suggested in section 1.
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  exhaust   gas
temperature caused by normal/high driv-
ing  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 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.
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,  vegeta-
tion, paper, leaves, etc.
The exhaust system and catalytic
system  are   very  hot  while   the
engine is running  or immediately
after  the   engine  is   turned  off.
Keep away from the exhaust  sys-
tem  and  catalytic converters,  or
you may get burned. Also, do not
remove the  heat sink around  the
exhaust system,  do  not seal  the
bottom  of the  vehicle  or  do not
coat   the  vehicle   for  corrosion
control. It may  present a fire  risk
under certain conditions.
Do not operate the  vehicle when there
are signs  of engine  malfunction, such
as misfire  or a  noticeable loss of  per-
formance.
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.
•  Do not  operate the engine at high  idle
speed for extended periods (5 minutes
or more).
•  Do not modify  or tamper with any  part
of the  engine or emission  control sys-
tem. We  recommend that  the  system
be
inspected
by
an
authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
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 ~
Avoid driving with  a extremely low fuel
level. Running out  of fuel  could cause
the  engine  to  misfire,  damaging  the
catalytic converter.

could  result in  damage  to  the  catalytic
