Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
Your vehicle  is equipped with  a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Diesel Particulate Filter
(if equipped)
Therefore,   the   following    precautions
must be observed:
The Diesel  Particulate Filter  (DPF)  sys-
tem removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF sys-
tem  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
driving condition  burns and removes  the
accumulated soot.
However,  if the  vehicle  continues to  be
driven at repeated short distance or driv-
en at low speed for a long time, the accu-
mulated  soot may  not  be  automatically
removed  because  of  low   exhaust  gas
temperature. More than a certain amount
of soot deposited, the malfunction indica-
WARNING - Fire
Make   sure   to   refuel   your   vehicle
according  to  the "Fuel  requirements"
suggested in section 1.
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
tor light (
) or the warning  message
“check exhaust system” illuminates.
be
inspected
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 and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.
