7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
2EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
SH010A1-E
(Not all models)
Depending upon the market for which
the vehicle is destined, the emission control system will comprise one or more of the following emission control devices.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order that the proper functioning of
the emission control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintained by an Hyundai authorised repairer inaccordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. SH010B1-E
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixeswith blow-by gases and then passes through the PCV valve into the intake manifold from where it subsequentlyenters the combustion chamber and is burned.
SH010C1-E
2. Evaporative Emission Control
System
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escaping into the atmosphere through the fuel tank ventilation sys- tem. Whilst the engine is not running, fuel
vapours generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in a charcoal canister. When the engine is started, the vapours
stored in the canister are drawn intothe induction system through the purge control solenoid valve and are subse-quently burned. The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the ECU; when the en- gine coolant temperature is low or the engine is idling, the purge control valveis closed and fuel vapours remain stored in the canister. Under normal running conditions when the engine iswarm, the valve opens and the vapours are drawn into the inlet tract and sub- sequently burned in the combustionchamber.

3. Exhaust Emission Con Trol
System
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system whichcontrols exhaust emission whilst main-taining good vehicle performance.

3CATALYTIC CONVERTER
SH020A1-E
Catalytic Convertor Operation Precautions ; For a petrol engine
HFC505
Hyundai Matrix models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require spe- cial operating considerations. The cata- lytic convertor serves to oxidize cer-tain noxious elements of the exhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce the level of pollutants emitted from thevehicle and, provided that care is ex- ercised to prevent damage, the cata- lyst will operate efficiently for the lifeof the vehicle.
Catalytic Converter It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator in order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the useof 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, itis 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 a Hyundai authorised repairer for rectifi- cation. Similarly, the practice of cer-tain ignition system diagnosis proce- dures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for ex-ample) may result in catalyst damage. For these reasons, it is advisable thatthe exhaust gas emission be tested ateach routine service with a gas ana- lyzer having a Hydrocarbon measuring facility to ensure continued reliabilityof the catalyst.Push or tow starting of the vehicle is tobe avoided since unburnt fuel mayenter the catalyst and result in dam- age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equippedwith fuel injection since the fuel pump safety 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 thatthe 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 incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block the ex-haust system.

4EGR SYSTEM
Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst element, it is important that damagedoes 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. H020D01S-GAT ; For a diesel engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxidation type catalytic converter toreduce the carbon monoxide, hydro- carbons and particulate contained in the exhaust gas. H020C01S-GAT
; For a diesel engine
This system helps control oxides of
nitrogen by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into the engine.

TYRE PRESSURES
SI030A2-E SNOW TYRES If it is desired to fit snow tyres to the vehicle, it must be ascertained thatthe original size and load carrying ca- pacity are met by the replacement tyres. When using snow tyres, thevehicle should not be driven at speeds in excess of 60 MPH.
In modern high-speed motoring, cor- rect tyre pressures are vitally impor- tant. Incorrect tyre pressures can af- fect vehicle safety by causing reducedadhesion, steering response and tyre failure through overheating. The tyre pressure must only be checked whenthe tyres are cold. The correct tyre pressures are indicated on the label affixed to the driver's side "C" pillerouter panel and below. 5.5Jx14 5.5Jx15 6.0Jx153.5Jx153.5Jx15

Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi when the vehicle is driven fully laden or under conditions of sus- tained high speed motoring. SI040A1-E TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains, when included, should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordancewith the manufacturer's instructions.To minimise tyre and chain wear, donot continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
CAUTION:
When driving on roads covered withsnow or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

HA1409Spare tyre SI060A1-E TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer- ing vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres are balanced during production but may need further bal-ancing throughout the life of the tyres.It is recommended that the tyres bebalanced on the car for best results and that the tyres are balanced when- ever they have been removed from thewheel for repair.
I060A01FC-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon theconditions of use. It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly than those fitted to the rear of the vehicleand therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of helping to ensure an even wear rate across the tyre set. Forvehicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rotation should be confined to front to rear tyre alternation. It is not recom-mended that radial ply tyres be rotated from side to side. NOTE:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
o Aluminium wheels which are not supplied as Original Equipment should not be mixed on the same vehicle with the original steel wheels. However, it is acceptable that the steel spare wheel be used in conjunction with Original Equipment aluminium wheels since the offset of both wheels is compatible. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be mixed on the same vehicle.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
The original wheels may only be re-
placed with Hyundai Approved wheels.
Tyres of different size, construction or
tread pattern should not be intermixed on the same axle. Radial and cross plytyres should not be used on the same vehicle.
The use of tyres and wheels of non
approved sizes can be dangerous.
WARNING:
o Driving on worn or defective tyres is dangerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steering control and a serious deterioration of braking efficiency. Defective tyresmay cause vibration and loss of control through blow outs.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for saferide and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installedon your vehicle.

TYRE REPLACEMENT
0.06 in.(1.6 mm)
Wear indicator I090A02FC
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi- mately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). In addition tothis, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become bald or if there are any lumps, bulges ordeep cuts in the sidewalls or tread. Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating andshould be of the same manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.
It can affect the safety and perfor- mance of your vehicle, whichcould lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre and wheel of the same size,type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle withany tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off- road driving, you should not usethese tyres for highway driving.
o Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.Regardless of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres gen- erally be replaced after six (6)years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or fre- quent high loading conditions canaccelerate the aging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, whichcould lead to a loss of control and an accident involving seri- ous injury or death.
