About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic
converter cause it to operate at very high tem-peratures. As a result, the introduction of large
amounts of unburned gasoline may cause it to
overheat and create a fire hazard.
This can be avoided by observing the following:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex- tremely high converter temperatures can result from improper operation of the electri-cal, ignition or fuel injection systems.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of gasoline, it could cause the engineto misfire and result in excessive loading of
the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either pushed or pulled to get it started.This can cause the catalytic converter tooverload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. As these materials could
come in contact with the catalytic converterand could cause a fire.
