Hyundai Kona: 2. Evaporative emission control system / Operating precautions for catalytic converters
WARNING
- A hot exhaust system can ignite flammable items under your vehicle.
Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle over or near flammable objects, such
as dry grass, paper, leaves, etc.
- The exhaust system and catalytic system are very hot while the engine
is running or immediately after the engine is turned off. Keep away from the
exhaust system and catalytic converter as you may get burned.
Also, do not
remove the heat sink around the exhaust system, do not seal the bottom of the
vehicle and do not coat the vehicle for corrosion control. It may present a
fire risk under certain conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions must be observed:
- Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gasoline engines.
- Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of performance.
- Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse are coasting with
the engine off and descending steep grades in gear with the engine off.
- Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 minutes
or more).
- Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and adjustments must be made by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
- Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of gasoline,
it could cause the engine to misfire and result in excessive loading of the
catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your warranties.
