3. Exhaust emission control 
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System is 
a highly effective system which controls 
exhaust emissions while maintaining 
good vehicle performance.
When the engine starts or fails to start, 
excessive attempts to restart the engine 
may cause damage to the emission 
system.
Engine exhaust (carbon monoxide) 
precautions
•	Carbon monoxide can be present 
with other exhaust fumes. If you smell 
exhaust fumes of any kind in your 
vehicle, drive with all the windows 
fully open. Have your vehicle checked 
and repaired immediately.
 WARNING
Engine exhaust gases contain carbon 
monoxide (CO). Though colorless and 
odorless, it is dangerous and could be 
lethal if inhaled. Follow the instructions 
on this page to avoid CO poisoning.
 WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 
WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of 
automobile components and parts, 
including components found in the 
interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain 
or emit chemicals known to the State 
of California to cause cancer and 
birth defects and reproductive harm. 
In addition, certain fluids contained 
in vehicles and certain products of 
component wear contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of 
California to cause cancer and birth 
defects or other reproductive harm. •	
Do not operate the engine in confined 
or closed areas (such as garages) any 
more than what is necessary to move 
the vehicle in or out of the area.
•	 When the vehicle is stopped in an 
open area for more than a short time 
with the engine running, adjust the 
ventilation system (as needed) to draw 
outside air into the vehicle.
•	 Never sit in a parked or stopped 
vehicle for any extended time with the 
engine running.
•	 When the engine stalls or fails to 
start, excessive attempts to restart 
the engine may cause damage to the 
emission control system.
Operating precautions for catalytic 
converters (if equipped)
 WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic 
converter are very hot during and 
immediately after the engine has been 
running. To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH:
•	Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle 
over or near flammable objects, such 
as grass, vegetation, paper, leaves, 
etc. A hot exhaust system can ignite 
flammable items under your vehicle.
•	 Keep away from the exhaust system 
and catalytic converter or you may 
get burned.
Also, do not remove the heat sink 
around the exhaust system, do not 
seal the bottom of the vehicle, and 
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion 
control. It may present a fire risk 
under certain conditions.

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic 
converter emission control device. 
To prevent damage to the catalytic 
converter and to your vehicle, take the 
following precautions:
•	Use only UNLEADED FUEL for 
gasoline engines.
•	 Do not operate the vehicle when 
there are signs of engine malfunction, 
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of 
performance.
•	 Do not misuse or abuse the engine. 
Examples of misuse are coasting with 
the engine off and descending steep 
grades in gear with the engine 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 control 
system. We recommend that all 
inspections and adjustments  are 
made by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
•	 Avoid driving with an extremely low 
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the 
engine to misfire, damaging the 
catalytic converter.Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)  
(if equipped)
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) system 
removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
The GPF system automatically burns 
(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot in 
accordance with driving situations, 
unlike a disposable air filter.
In other words, the accumulated soot is 
automatically purged out by the engine 
control system and by the high exhaust-
gas temperature at normal/ high driving 
speeds. However, when the vehicle is 
continually driven at repeated short 
distances or driven at low speed for a 
long time, the accumulated soot may 
not be automatically removed because 
of low exhaust gas temperature. In this 
case, the accumulated soot may reach 
a certain amount regardless of the soot 
oxidization process, then the GPF lamp  
(
) will illuminate.
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) 
lamp stops illuminating, when the driving 
speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h) with 
engine RPM 1,500 ~ 4,000 and the 
gear in the 3rd position or above for 
approximately 30 minutes.
When the GPF lamp starts to blink or 
the warning message “Check exhaust 
system” pops up even though the 
vehicle was driven as mentioned above, 
we recommend that you have the 
GPF system checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
With GPF lamp blinking for an extended 
period of time, it may damage the GPF 
system and lower the fuel economy.
 CAUTION
We recommend you to use only the 
regulated gasoline fuels, when your 
vehicle is equipped with the GPF 
system.
When you use other gasoline fuels 
which contain unspecified additives, 
they may damage the GPF system and 
cause exhaust emission problems.
