EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7-1
7. EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEMS
H010A01A-GAT EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (If installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibition rules of your province. There are three emission control systems which are as follows. (1) Crankcase emission control system (For a Gasoline Engine)
(2) Evaporative emission control system (For a Gasoline Engine)
(3) Exhaust emission control system In order to assure the proper function of the emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your car inspected and main- tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac- cordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. H010C02Y-GAT 2. Evaporative Emission Control
System; For a Gasoline Engine
The Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Canister While the engine is inoperative, fuel vapors
generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canis- ter are drawn into the induction system through the purge control solenoid valve. Purge Control Solenoid Valve The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECM; when the engine coolant tempera- ture is low, and during idling, it closes, so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the surge tank.
After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, it opens so as to introduce evaporated fuel to the surge tank. H020A01A-AAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a Gasoline Engine
H020A01HP
Catalytic Converter
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono- lith type three-way catalytic converter to re- duce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. 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 to overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observing the following:
H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control System
; For a Gasoline Engine
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crank- case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, which the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass through the PCV valve into the induction system.7

DA030A1-EResponsibilty For Maintenance
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner/driver to ensure that all routine maintenance services are undertaken in line with the recommendations specified in Section 5 of thismanual. In addition, in order to ensure continued validity of the new vehicle warrantyand safe operation of the vehicle, non scheduled maintenance/running repairs shouldbe undertaken at the earliest available opportunity. Under severe operating conditions, more frequent maintenance is required. Details of the maintenance schedule for such conditions are also given in section 5. It is recommended that all maintenance operations and repairs are entrusted to a franchised Hyundai dealer to ensure that the latest repair methods, specialized toolingand genuine Hyundai parts are used to ensure the continued reliability and safety ofthe vehicle.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
DC170A1-E
WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There- fore, the following suggestions will assist inmaintaining peak performance and reliabilityduring these periods:
C140A01A-EAT
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other trafficso you don't have to change speeds unnec-essarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-sible. Always maintain a safe distance fromother vehicles so you can avoid unneces-sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components. In ad-dition, driving with your foot resting on thebrake pedal may cause the brakes to over-heat, which reduces their effectiveness andmay lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect in-flation, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres-sures at least once a month. o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correct-
ly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular sur-faces. Poor alignment causes faster tyrewear and may also result in other problemsas well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. Ifyou drive your car in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required (seeSection 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and freeof corrosive materials. It is especially impor-tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuelconsumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),turn off your engine and restart only whenyou're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engineis running smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your en-gine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "labour" or "over-rev" the engine.
Labouring is driving too slowly in too high agear resulting in the vehicle kangarooing. Ifthis happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safelimit. This can be avoided by shifting at therecommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reducedwhen you use it.
C150A01A-EAT SMOOTH CORNERINGAvoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally, cornersshould always be taken under gentle accelera-tion. If you follow these suggestions, tyre wearwill be held to a minimum.
