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
HTB5017Catalytic 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 fuel 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 enter the catalyst and result in dam-age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since the fuel pumpsafety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions). Operation of the catalyst involves ex- tremely high temperatures being at- tained within the catalytic convertor,and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important that the vehicle is not parked over combus-tible 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 in core temperature will result in a "meltdown" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block the exhaust 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 avoiddriving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata- lyst element.
CONSUMER INFORMATION 8- 3
The engine number is stamped on the engine block as shown in the drawing. I030A02TB-EAT TYRE PRESSURES In modern high-speed motoring, correct tyre pressures are vitally important.
I010B02FC
HTB263
Diesel Engine
Incorrect tyre pressures can affect ve-hicle safety by causing reduced adhe-sion, steering response and tyre failure through overheating. The tyre pressure must only be checked when the tyresare cold. The correct tyre pressures are indicated on the label affixed in the glove box and above. Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi when the vehicle is driven fully laden or under conditions of sustainedhigh speed motoring.
I020A01A-EAT TYRE INFORMATION The tyres supplied on your new Hyundai are chosen to provide the best perfor-mance for normal driving.
