CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OP- ERATION PRECAUTIONS ; For a Petrol engine
Hyundai Getz models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require special operating considerations. Thecatalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex- haust gases leaving the engine toreduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage,the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle.
It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un-derstood by the vehicle operator in
HTB178Catalytic Converter order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle,it is possible that the use of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata-lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve- hicle is immediately presented to aHyundai dealer for rectification. Simi- larly, the practice of certain ignition system diagnosis procedures whichinvolve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) may result in catalyst damage.
For these reasons, it is advisable that
the exhaust gas emission be testedat each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea- suring facility to ensure continuedreliability of the catalyst. Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel may be enter the catalyst and result indamage. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since thefuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involvesextremely high temperatures beingattained within the catalytic conver- tor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is importantthat the vehicle is not parked over combustible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam- age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid driving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata-lyst element.

I010B01B
HTB263
Diesel EngineIncorrect tyre pressures can affect ve- hicle safety by causing reduced adhe- sion, steering response and tyre failurethrough overheating. The tyre pressure must only be checked when the tyres are cold. The correct tyre pressures areindicated on the label affixed in the glove box and below. Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi when the vehicle is driven fully laden or under conditions of sustained high speed motoring.

1- 4 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B030B01A-AAT Record Your Key Number A code number is stamped on the number plate that came with the keys to your Hyundai. This key numberplate should not be left with the keys but kept in a safe place, not in the vehicle. The key number should alsobe recorded in a place where it can be found in an emergency. If you need additional keys, or if you should lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys ifyou can supply the key number.
B020B01FC-GAT BREAKING IN YOUR NEW HYUNDAIDuring the First 1,000 Km (600Miles) (Diesel Engine) No formal "break-in" procedure is re- quired with your new Hyundai. How- ever, you can contribute to the eco- nomical operation and durability of yourHyundai by observing the following recommendations during the first 1,000 km (600 miles).
o While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) within 3,000 rpm.
o While driving, keep under three quar-
ters of maximum speed.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start, depress the accelerator pedalfully.
o For the first 300 km (200 miles), try to avoid hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words,
don't drive so slowly in too-high a gear that the engine "bucks": shift to a lower gear). B030A01A-AAT KEYS For greater convenience, the same key operates all the locks in yourHyundai. However, because the doors can be locked without a key, carrying a spare key is recommended in caseyou accidentally lock one key inside the car.
o Whether going fast or slow, vary
your speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
3 minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first
1,000 km (600 miles) of operation.

B880A01A-GAT IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (If Installed) The immobilizer system is an anti-theft device, designed to deter automobile theft.
B880B04A-GAT Keys All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are operated by the same key. However, since it is possible to lock the doors without the use of the key, care shouldbe exercised to ensure that the key does not become locked inside the vehicle by mistake. NOTE: If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel thesystem or start the engine. B880C02A-GAT Key Numbers
B880C01LThe vehicle key number is recorded upon a metal tag attached to the keys when the vehicle is first delivered toyou. The key number should be recorded and kept in a safe place in case theneed to order further keys arises. New keys are available from any Hyundai dealer by quoting the relevant key num-ber. In the interest of security, the metal tag attached to the keys which bears thekey number should be removed from the key ring after you receive your new vehicle. In addition, key numbers can-not be provided by Hyundai for security reasons. If you need additional keys or if youshould lose your keys, your authorized Hyundai dealer can make new keys.
!
CAUTION:
When staring the engine, do not use the key with other immobilizer keys around. Otherwise the engine may not start or may stop soon after itstarts. Keep each key separately not to have any malfunction after you receiveyour new vehicle.

LOCK!WARNING:
o Unlocked doors can be danger- ous. Before you drive away (es- pecially if there are children inthe car), be sure that all the doors are securely closed and locked so that the doors cannot be inad-vertently opened from the inside. This helps ensure that doors will not be opened accidentally. Also,when combined with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps keep occupants frombeing ejected from the car in case of an accident.
o Before opening the door, always look for and avoid oncoming traf-fic.
o In case of accident, the door is unlocked automatically (If In-stalled). o The door can be locked or unlocked
with a key.
o Lock the door by turning the key toward the front of the vehicle andunlock it by turning the key toward the rear. B040C01FC-GAT Locking From the Outside
The doors can be locked without a key. To lock the doors from the outside, first push the inside lock switch to the"LOCK" position, so that the red mark on the switch is not visible, then close the door.The door will not lock if the key is left in the ignition switch when the front doors close. This is normal. (If installed) NOTE:
o When locking the door this way, be careful not to lock the door with the ignition key left in thevehicle. HTB062-1
