EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
7-1
7. EMISSION CON-
TROL SYSTEMSH010B01A-AAT1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve and into the induction system.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refueling
Vapor Recovery) System
The Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow the
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into
a canister while refueling at the gas station,
preventing the escape of fuel vapors into
the atmosphere.)
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are
absorbed and stored in the onboard canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors
absorbed in the canister are drawn into the
induction system through the purge control so-
lenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when the
engine coolant temperature is low during idling,
the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is not
taken into the engine. After the engine warms-
up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens to
introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.
H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control System
The Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls exhaust
emissions while maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
H010A01GK-AAT
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali-
fornia Air Resources Board.
There are three emission control systems which
are as follows.
1) Crankcase Emission Control System
2) Evaporative Emission Control System
3) Exhaust Emission Control System
In order to ensure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended
that you have your car inspected and main-
tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-
cordance with the maintenance schedule in this
manual.
Caution for Inspection and Maintenance Test
(Vehicle with Traction Control System)
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, disconnect
the ABS connector located inside of the
wheel guard (driver side).
o For more information, see shop manual
(BR Group, Wheel Speed Sensor).

(California)
SSA7020A
Catalytic Converter
(Federal, California)

7-2
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with one or
two monolith type three-way catalytic convert-
ers to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocar-
bons and nitrogen oxides contained in the ex-
haust gas. Exhaust gases passing through the
catalytic converter 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 to overheat
and create a fire hazard. This risk may be
reduced by observing the following:
WARNING:o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating
condition. Extremely high catalytic con-
verter temperatures can result from im-
proper operation of the electrical, igni-
tion or multiport electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is
hard to start, have your Hyundai dealer
inspect and repair the problem as soon
as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.
Running out of gasoline may cause the
engine to misfire and result in damage to
the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer
than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or
pulled to get started. This may cause the
catalytic converter to overheat and cre-
ate a fire hazard.o Do not touch the catalytic converter or
any other part of the exhaust system
while the catalytic converter is hot. Shut
off the engine, wait for at least one hour
before touching the catalytic 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 com-
bustible material such as grass, paper,
leaves or rags. These materials might
contact the hot catalytic converter and a
fire might result.

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
WARNING:
Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control and traction.
When replacing tires, never mix radial and
bias ply tires on the same car. If you replace
radial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be
installed in sets of four.

TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.
I080A01A-AATTIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or
on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-
placed when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control, slow
down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the
road.
The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. The tread wear indicators appear
when the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The
tire should be replaced when these appear as a
solid bar across two or more grooves of the
tread. Always replace your tires with those of
the recommended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet
Hyundai specification.
WARNING:o Using tires and wheels of other than the
recommended sizes could cause unusu-
al handling characteristics that could
cause death, serious injury, or property
damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's di-
mensional specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the vehicle, in-
cluding broken wheel studs.

I130A01A-AATCONSUMER INFORMATION
This consumer information has been prepared
in accordance with regulations issued by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It
provides the purchasers and/or prospective
purchasers of Hyundai automobiles with infor-
mation on uniform tire quality grading. Your
Hyundai dealer will help answer any questions
you may have as you read this information.
I130B02A-AATUniform tire quality grading
Department of Transportation quality grades -
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to
Federal Safety Standards in addition to these
grades. These quality grades are molded on the
sidewall.
Treadwear - The tread wear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For exam-
ple, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1 - 1/2) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The relative perfor-
mance of tires depends upon the actual condi-
tions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices and differenc-
es in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction grades,
from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfac-
es of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING:The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.

8-5 Temperature A, B, C - The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor lab-
oratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
WARNING:The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
