CATALYTIC CONVERTER
!
!
H020A01A-AATAll Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono-
lith type three-way catalytic converter to
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust
gas. Exhaust gases passing through the cata-
lytic converter cause it to operate at a very
high temperature. The introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline into the ex-
haust may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk
may be reduced by observing the following:system.
WARNING:
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is
your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any
combustible material such as grass,
paper, leaves or rags. These materials
might contact the hot catalytic con-
verter and a fire might result.

Catalytic Converter
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalytic con-
verter temperatures can result from im-
proper operation of the electrical, igni-
tion or multiport electronic fuel injec-
tion.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or
is hard to start, have your Hyundai
dealer inspect and repair the problem
as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.
Running out of gasoline may cause the
engine to misfire and result in damage
to the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods
longer than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause
the catalytic converter to overheat and
create a fire hazard.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or
any other part of the exhaust system
while the catalytic converter is hot.
Shut off the engine, wait for at least one
hour before touching the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust
