EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalytic con-
verter temperatures can result from im-
proper 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 gasoline may cause the
engine to misfire and result in damage to
the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods long-
er 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.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or
any other part of the exhaust system
while the catalytic converter is hot. Shut
off the engine, wait for at least one hour
before touching the catalytic converter
or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is
your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com-
bustible material such as grass, paper,
leaves or rags. These materials might
contact the hot catalytic converter and a
fire might result.

EGR SYSTEM ; For a Diesel Engine
(If installed)
This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by
recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into the
engine, there by reducing cylinder combustion
temperature.
The EGR system helps reduce Nox (Oxides of
Nitrogen) emission gasses.
H020D01S-GAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
; For a Diesel Engine (If installed)
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida-
tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car-
bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulates
contained in the exhaust gas.
