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.
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.
H020A02A-AAT(If installed)Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a
monolith 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:

WARNING:
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.
