Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission con-
trol system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause
the engine to misfire, damaging
the catalytic converter.
Gasoline (Petrol) Particulate
Filter (GPF) (if equipped)
The Gasoline (Petrol) Particulate
Filter (GPF) system removes the
soot in the exhaust gas.
The GPF system automatically burns
(or oxidises) the accumulated soot in
accordance with driving situations,
unlike a disposable air filter.
In other words, the accumulated soot
is automatically purged out by the
engine control system and by the
high exhaust-gas temperature at nor-
mal/ high driving speeds.
However, when the vehicle is contin-
ually driven at repeated short dis-
tances or driven at low speed for a
long time, the accumulated soot may
not be automatically removed
because of low exhaust gas temper-
ature. In this case, the accumulated
soot is out of the detection range, the
soot oxidization process does not
occur, and the Gasoline (Petrol)
Particulate Filter (GPF) Lamp ( )
Illuminates.
The Gasoline (Petrol) Particulate
Filter (GPF) Lamp stops illuminating,
when the driving speed exceeds 50
mph (80km/h) with engine rpm 1,500
~ 4,000 and the gear in the 3rd posi-
tion or above for approximately 30
minutes.
When the GPF Lamp continuously
blinks or the warning message
“Check exhaust system” illuminates in
the above cases, we recommend that
you have the GPF system checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
When the vehicle is continuously
driven with the GPF Lamp flashing
for an extended period of time, it may
damage the GPF system and lower
the fuel economy.
Lean NOx Trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system
removes the nitrogen oxide from the
exhaust gas.A smell can occur in the
exhaust gas depending on the quali-
ty of the fuel, and it can degrade NOx
reduction performance. Please use
the regulated automotive diesel fuel.
Maintenance

Gasoline (Petrol) Fuel
(if equipped with GPF)
We recommend you to use only
the regulated petrol fuels, when
your vehicle is equipped with
the GPF system.
When you use other petrol fuels
which contain unspecified addi-
tives, they may damage the GPF
system and cause exhaust
emission problems.
