CATALYTIC CONVERTERH020A03A-AAT(If Installed)Hyundai vehicle is equipped with a mono-
lith type three-way catalytic converter to
reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar-
bons and nitrogen oxides contained in the
exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing
through the catalytic converter 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:Catalytic Converter
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalytic
converter temperatures can result
from improper operation of the elec-
trical, ignition or multiport electronic
fuel injection.
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.
H020A01TG
o Do not touch the catalytic converter
or any other part of the exhaust sys-
tem while the catalytic converter is
hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at
least one hour before touching the
catalytic converter or any other part
of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer
is your best source of assistance.
o Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
over any combustible material such
as grass, paper, leaves or rags. These
materials might contact the hot cata-
lytic converter and a fire might result.
