o Avoid idling the engine for periodslonger than 3 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either pushed or pulled to get it started. This can cause the catalytic con-verter to overload.
o Take care not to park, idle or drive your Hyundai over or near flam- mable objects, such as grass, pa- per, leaves or rags. These materialscould come in contact with the cata- lytic converter and could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaustsystem while the engine is runningas it is very hot and could result in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.
H020B01CM-DAT About the Catalytic Converter Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high temperatures. As a result, the introduction of large amounts ofunburned petrol may cause it to over- heat and create a fire hazard. This can be avoided by observing the following:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good condi-
tion. Extremely high converter tem- peratures can result from improper operation of the electrical, ignitionor fuel injection systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible and have the difficulty cor-rected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. If you run out of petrol, itcould cause the engine to misfire and result in excessive loading of the catalytic converter. H020D01S-GAT
; For a Diesel Engine
Hyundai vehicles are equipped with
oxidation type catalytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydro- carbons and particulate contained inthe exhaust gas.
