2013 Hyundai Tucson 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
Use only  UNLEADED FUEL for  gaso-
line 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  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 dry grass, 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,  you  may  get
burned.
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.
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.
•  Avoid driving with  a extremely low fuel
level.  Running  out  of  fuel  cause the
engine  to  misfire,  damaging the  cat-
alytic converter.
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 ~
Failure  to   observe   these  precautions
could  result in  damage  to  the  catalytic
vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.
