3- 4 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D030A02TB-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the chargingsystem checked by your Hyundai dealer. 3. If engine coolant is running out under
the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Do notopen the hood until the engine cool- ant has stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan isoperating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop). WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.

5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance.

Inflation Pressure
Tire Size
T105/70D14 420 kPa (60 psi)
2. The spare tire should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the luggage compartment as soonas the original tire can be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 80 km/h (50 mph) is not recom-mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically designed for your car, itshould not be used on any other vehicle.
D040A01TB-GAT TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as
practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pres- sure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintainedat the specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Spare Tire Pressure
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if the engine coolant hasbeen lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir (page 6-9) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.

CAUTION:
Serious loss of engine coolant indi- cates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. 5. The temporary spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, norshould standard tires, snow tires,wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tire is stored.
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one tempo-
rary spare tire at a time.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7- 3
H020A01A-GAT
CATALYTIC CONVERTER (If Installed) ; For a gasoline engine
HTB5017
Hyundai vehicle is equipped with a monolith type three-way catalytic con- verter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides con-tained in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter may cause it to operate at avery high temperature. The introduc- tion of large amounts of unburned gaso- line into the exhaust may cause thecatalytic converter to overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observing the following:
Catalytic Converter H020B03A-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 Hyundai vehicle is equipped with oxi- dation type catalytic converter to re-duce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar- bons 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 Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle over any combustible mate-rial such as grass, paper, leaves orrags. As these materials could come in contact with the catalytic con- verter and could cause a fire.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter
or any other part of the exhaustsystem 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 assistance.
