CATALYTIC CONVERTER
HXGS509
All Hyundai vehicles are equippedwith a monolith type three-way cata-lytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitro- gen oxides contained in the exhaustgas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter may 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 tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observ- ing the following:
Catalytic Converter o Do not touch the catalytic con-
verter or any other part of the exhaust system while the cata-lytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the cata-lytic 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 combustible material suchas grass, paper, leaves or rags.These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.
