level. If you run out of petrol, it could
cause the engine to misfire and result
in excessive loading of the catalytic
converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF)
(if equipped)
The Petrol 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 Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF) Lamp
stops illuminating, when the driving
speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph) with
the engine at 1,500- 4,000 rpm and the
gear in the 3rd position or above for
approximately 30 minutes.When the GPF lamp starts to blink or
the waning 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 a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
With the GPF lamp blinking for an
extended period of time, it may damage
the GPF system and lower the fuel
economy.
WARNING
Petrol Fuel
(if equipped with GPF)
We recommend you to use only the
regulated petrol fuels, when your
vehicle is equipped with the GPF
system.
When you use other petrol fuels which
contain unspecified additives, they
may damage the GPF system and cause
exhaust emission problems.
