2016 Hyundai Creta catalytic converter

F6
Introduction
NOTICE indicates a situation which,
if not avoided, could result in vehicle
damage.
Gasoline engine
Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (AntiKnock Index)
87 or higher.
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as mini
mize exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
Leaded (if equipped)
For some countries, your vehicle is
designed to use leaded gasoline.
When you are going to use leaded
gasoline, we recommend that you
ask an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
whether leaded gasoline in your
vehicle is available or not.
Octane Rating of leaded gasoline is
same with unleaded one.
NOTICE
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental to
the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control sys
tem’s oxygen sensor and affect
emission control.
Never add any fuel system clean
ing agents to the fuel tank other
than what has been specified (We
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
details.)
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate
injury.
CAUTION
FUEL REQUiREMENTS
•Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
•Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci
dent.

Gasoline Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminates, potential catalytic
converter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine power.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
Diesel Engine with DPF
(if equipped)
When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) blinks, it may stop blinking after
driving the vehicle:
at more than 60km/h (37 mph), or
at more than 2nd gear with 1500 ~
2000 engine rpm for a certain time
(for about 25 minutes).
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) continues to blink in spite of
the procedure, we recommend that
you have the DPF system checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If you continue to drive with the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
blinking for a long time, the DPF sys
tem can be damaged and fuel con
sumption can worsen.
Diesel Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) blinks, some error related to
the injection quantity adjustment
occurs which could result in loss of
engine power, combustion noise and
poor emission.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the engine control system
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If the engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
• Be sure the shift lever is in N(Neutral) or P (Park) if it is an auto
matic transaxle vehicle. The engine
starts only when the shift lever is in
N (Neutral) or P (Park).
• Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle.
See instructions for "Jump Starting"
provided in this chapter.
If the engine turns over normally
but doesn't start
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary.
If the engine still does not start, we
recommend that you call an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

What to do in an emergency
Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic converter
to overload which can lead to
damage to the emission control
system.
WARNING

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a cat
alytic conver ter emission control
device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL forGasoline engine.
• Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunc
tion, such as misfire or a noticeable
loss of performance.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse are
coasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear
with the ignition off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission con
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. • Avoid driving with a extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dam
aging the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalyt
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Fire
•A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your
vehicle. Do not park, idle, or
drive the vehicle over or near
flammable objects, such as
grass, vegetation, paper,
leaves, etc.
•The exhaust system and catalyt
ic system are very hot while the
engine is running or immediate
ly after the engine is turned off.
Keep away from the exhaust
system and catalytic, you may
get burned. Also, do not remove
the heat sink around the
exhaust system, do not seal the
bottom of the vehicle or do not
coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions.
