Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corro-
sion
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produce vehicles of the
highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-term
corrosion resistance your vehicle can
deliver, the owner’s cooperation and
assistance is also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on your vehicle are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
vehicle.
• Removal of paint or protective
coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion
or minor scrapes and dents which
leave unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive
materials, corrosion protection is
particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated
corrosion are road salts, dust control
chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to occur.
For example, corrosion is accelerated
by high humidity, particularly when
temperatures are just above freezing. In
such conditions, the corrosive material is
kept in contact with the vehicle’s surface
by moisture that slowly evaporates.
Mud is particularly corrosive because
it dries slowly and holds moisture in
contact with the vehicle. Although the
mud appears to be dry, it can still retain
moisture and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be
dispersed. For all these reasons, it is
particularly important to keep your
vehicle clean and free of mud or
accumulations of other materials. This
applies not only to the visible surfaces
but particularly to the underside of the
vehicle.
To help prevent corrosion
You can help prevent corrosion from
getting started by observing the
following:

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
(if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the exhaust
gas. Unlike a disposable air filter,
the DPF system automatically burns
(oxidizes) and removes the accumulated
soot according to the driving condition.
In order words, the active burning by
engine control system and high exhaust
gas temperature caused by normal/high
diving condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long time,
the accumulated soot may not be
automatically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. More than
a certain amount of soot deposited,
the malfunction indicator light (
)
illuminates.
When the malfunction indicator light
illuminates, it may turn-off after driving
the vehicle at more than 60km/h (37
mph) or at more than second gear with
1500~2500 engine rpm for a certain time
(for about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator light (
) is not turn-off or blinking continuesly
in spite of the procedure, visit a
professional workshop and check the
DPF system. HYUNDAI recommends
to visit an authorized HYUNDAI dealer/
service partner.
If you continue to drive with the
malfunction indicator light blinking for
a long time, the DPF system can be
damaged and fuel consumption can be
worsen and the engine durability can be
worsen by oil dilution.
CAUTION
Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)
We recommend you to use only the
regulated diesel fuels, when your
vehicle is equipped with the DPF
system.
When you use other diesel fuels, which
is high in sulfurs (above 50 ppm) or
contains unspecified additives, it may
damage the DPF system and cause the
white smoke emission.
Lean NOx Trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system
removes the nitrogen oxide in the
exhaust gas. The smell can occur in the
exhaust gas depending on the quality
of the fuel and it can degrade NOx
reduction performance, please use the
regulated automotive diesel fuel.

Maintenance
4. Self Regeneration Mode
LCD Type
If the warning message “Self
Regeneration” is stored in inspection
message tap, it is operable in LCD
warning message page.
WARNING
• Make sure the vehicle parked on
safety zone (to avoid the flammables
like grass and traffic accident)
• Check remained fuel above 1/5 of
full level fuel gauge to prevent fuel
overheat
• Open the hood to prevent engine
room overheat
• Self regeneration should be done
only when DPF indicator illuminates
OSU2I089042OSU2I089042
If the warning message “Diesel filter
regeneration required, See owner’s
manual.” appears on the LCD display,
Self Regeneration is required
To initiate Self Regeneration
1. Engage parking brake and shift lever
at P state.
2. Turn on the engine
3. Warm up the engine and check engine
temperature gauge at the middle
position
4. Turn on the air conditioner and set the
blower to the maximum.
5. Turn on the high beam.
6. Operate the rear defog function.
7. Hold the OK button on the LCD
warning message page.
