B010A03O-GAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS Use Unleaded Gasoline If leaded gasoline is used, it will cause the catalytic converter to become inef- fective and the emission control sys-tem to malfunction. This can also result in increased maintenance expense. To avoid accidental use of leaded fuel,the large nozzle used with leaded gaso- line at service stations can not be inserted into fuel tank opening of Hyundaivehicle. NOTE:
o For some countries, Hyundai ve-
hicles are designed to use leaded gasoline. When you are going to use leaded gasoline, ask toHyundai dealer whether leaded gasoline in your vehicle is avail- able or not.
o Octane Rating of leaded gaso- line is same with unleaded one.
Diesel fuel Diesel engine must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel that complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "EuropeanNorm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi- tives, as this will increase wear andcause damage to the engine and fuel system.
For Europe
– For the optimal vehicle
performance, we recommend you to use unleaded gasoline with an octanerating of RON (Research Octane Num- ber) 95 /AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.You may use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of RON 91~94/AKI 87~90 but it may result in slight performancereduction of the vehicle. Except Europe – Unleaded gasoline
with a Pump Octane Rating of 87 (Re- search Octane Number 91) or higher must be used in Hyundai vehicle. B010A01TB
CAUTION:
o Do not let any gasoline or water enter the tank. This would make itnecessary to drain it out and to bleed the lines to avoid jamming the injection pump and damagingthe engine.
o In winter, in order to cut down
incidents due to freezing, paraffinoil may be added to the fuel if the temperature drops to below -10°C. Never use more than 20%paraffin oil.
!
The use of non-approved fuels and / or fuel additives will result in a limitation of your warranty rights.Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is used in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winterfuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
o Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
o Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully : If the engine stops through fuel failure, the circuits must be com- pletely purged to permit restarting.

Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunc-tion in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driv- ing, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer. B260L01A-GAT
Door Ajar Warning Light

CATALYTIC CONVERTER (If Installed) ; For a gasoline engine
HTB5017
The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to remove certain engine emission products from the engine'sexhaust. It looks something like a muffler and is located underneath the car in the exhaust system.
Catalytic Converter H020B01A-GAT
About the Catalytic Converter
Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high temperatures. As a re- sult, the introduction of large amountsof unburned gasoline may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. This can be avoided by observing thefollowing:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain your engine in good con-
dition. Extremely high converter temperatures can result from im- proper operation of the electrical,ignition or fuel injection systems.
H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a diesel engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxidation type catalytic converterto reduce the carbon monoxide, hy- drocarbons and particulate contained in the exhaust gas.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks,
or is hard to start, take your car toyour Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible and have the difficulty cor- rected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If your run out of gasoline, it could cause the engine to misfireand 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 con- verter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags. Asthese materials could come in con- tact with the catalytic converter and could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the ex-haust system while the engine is running as it is very hot and could result in burns.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assis-tance.

CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OP- ERATION PRECAUTIONS ; For a Petrol engine
Hyundai Getz models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require special operating considerations. Thecatalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex- haust gases leaving the engine toreduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage,the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle.
It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un-derstood by the vehicle operator in
HTB5017Catalytic Converter order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle,it is possible that the use of funnels or fuel cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata-lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve- hicle is immediately presented to aHyundai dealer for rectification. Simi- larly, the practice of certain ignition system diagnosis procedures whichinvolve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) may result in catalyst damage.
For these reasons, it is advisable that
the exhaust gas emission be testedat each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea- suring facility to ensure continuedreliability of the catalyst. Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel may enter the catalyst and result in dam-age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since the fuel pumpsafety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions). Operation of the catalyst involves ex- tremely high temperatures being at- tained within the catalytic convertor,and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important that the vehicle is not parked over combus-tible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase in core temperature will result in a "meltdown" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block the exhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam-age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack. Care must also be exercised to avoiddriving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata- lyst element.
