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.
