3- 4 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (Ifthe air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keephair, hands, and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately andcall the nearest Hyundai dealer forassistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.
D030A01A-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss ofpower, or hear loud pinging or knock-ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and checkto be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If thedrive belt seems to be satisfactory, 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the enginetemperature has returned to nor-mal. Then, if the engine coolant hasbeen lost, carefully remove the ra- diator cap and add engine coolant to bring the fluid level in the reservoirup to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of engine coolant indi- cates there is a leak in the coolingsystem and this should be checkedas soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.

WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremelyhigh catalytic converter tempera- tures can result from improper operation of the electrical, igni-tion or multiport electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, haveyour Hyundai dealer inspect and repair the problem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of gaso-line may cause the engine to misfire and result in damage tothe catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri- ods longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started.This may cause the catalytic con- verter to overheat and create a fire hazard.
H020A01A-AAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
HXGS509
All Hyundai vehicles are equippedwith a monolith type three-way cata-lytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro- gen oxides contained in the exhaustgas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter may cause it to operate at a very high temperature.The introduction of large amounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaust may cause the catalytic converter tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observ- ing the following:
Catalytic Converter o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the cata-lytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the cata-lytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags.These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.
