hicle operator in order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.Damage to the catalyst will result if contamina-tion occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilstthe vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter fillerneck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with aleaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that theuse of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuelto be introduced into the fuel tank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt fuel andtherefore if an engine misfire condition exists,damage to the catalyst will occur. It is imperativethat if a misfire condition develops, the vehicle isimmediately presented to a Hyundai dealer forrectification. Similarly, the practice of certainignition system diagnosis procedures which in-volve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balancetests for example) may result in catalyst dam-age.For these reasons, it is advisable that the ex-haust gas emission be tested at each routineservice with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocar-bon measuring facility to ensure continued reli-ability of the catalyst.Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to beavoided since unburnt fuel may be enter thecatalyst and result in damage. (Note, it is impos-sible to push or tow start a Hyundai modelequipped with fuel injection since the fuel pumpsafety interlock will prevent the pump from oper-ating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involves extremely hightemperatures being attained within the catalyticconvertor, and although the convertor is fitted
with heat shields, it is important that the vehicleis not parked over combustible or volatile mate-rial which may result in fire.If the above precautions are not adhered to andthe catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultantincrease in core temperature will result in a "meltdown" where the catalyst core will melt andsubsequently may block the exhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst element,it is important that damage does not occur whenthe vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid drivingover road hazards or debris which may causedamage to the catalyst element.
