2012 Hyundai Sonata Owners Manual

Maintenance
When the engine stalls or fails to start,
excessive   attempts    to   restart    the
engine   may  cause   damage   to  the
emission control system.
Your vehicle  is equipped with  a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore,   the   following    precautions
must be observed:
CALIFORNIA PROPOSI-
TION 65 WARNING
Engine exhaust  and a  wide variety
of   automobile   components    and
parts, including components found
in the interior furnishings in a vehi-
cle,   contain   or   emit    chemicals
known to  the State of  California to
cause cancer and birth defects and
reproductive harm. In addition, cer-
tain  fluids   contained   in  vehicles
and certain products of component
wear   contain  or   emit   chemicals
known to  the State of  California to
cause  cancer and  birth defects  or
other reproductive harm.
Use only  UNLEADED FUEL for  gaso-
line engines.
Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
•  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.  All inspections  and  adjustments
must   be   made   by   an   authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•  Avoid driving with  a extremely low fuel
level. Running out  of fuel  could cause
the  engine  to  misfire,  damaging  the
catalytic converter.
Failure  to   observe   these  precautions
could  result in  damage  to  the  catalytic
converter
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.
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,  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   system
and catalytic, you may get burned.
Do not operate  the engine in  confined
or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than  what is necessary  to move
the vehicle in or out of the  area.
When  the   vehicle  is  stopped  in   an
open area  for more  than a  short time
with  the   engine  running,  adjust   the
ventilation system (as needed) to draw
outside air into the vehicle.
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 cor-
rosion  control. It  may  present  a
fire risk under certain conditions.
Never sit in  a parked or  stopped vehi-
cle  for   any  extended  time   with  the
engine running.

vehicle.
