CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-AAT
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped
with a monolith type three-way cata-
lytic converter to reduce the carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro-
gen 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 observ-
ing the following:

3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The Exhaust Emission Control Sys-
tem is a highly effective system which
controls exhaust emissions while
maintaining good vehicle performance.
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good
operating condition. Extremely
high catalytic converter tempera-
tures can result from improper
operation of the electrical, igni-
tion 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 gaso-
line may cause the engine to
misfire and result in damage to
the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for peri-
ods 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 cre-
ate a fire hazard.
