Diesel Particulate Filter
(if equipped)
The  Diesel  Particulate  Filter  (DPF)
system  removes   the  soot   emitted
from the vehicle.
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).
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.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It  is  recommended  to  use  the
regulated automotive diesel fuel
for diesel vehicle equipped  with
the DPF system.
If you  use diesel  fuel  including
high  sulfur (more  than 50  ppm
sulfur)   and  unspecified   addi-
tives, it can cause  the DPF sys-
tem  to  be  damaged and  white
smoke can be emitted.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system   automatically    burns   (oxi-
dizes) and removes the accumulated
soot according  to the  driving  condi-
tion. In other words,  the active burn-

damaged and  fuel consumption can
be worsen.
However, if  the vehicle  continues to
be driven at low speed  for long time,
the  accumulated  soot  may  not   be
automatically  removed   because  of
low exhaust gas  temperature. In this
particular case, the amount of soot is
out of detection limit,  the soot oxida-
tion  process by  engine control  sys-
tem  may not  happen  and  the  mal-
function indicator light may blink.
