Exhaust Emission Control System - Hyundai Palisade 2024 Owner's Manual

3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performance.
When the engine starts or fails to start,
excessive attempts to restart the engine
may cause damage to the emission
system.
Engine exhaust (carbon monoxide)
precautions
• Carbon monoxide can be present with
other exhaust fumes. If you smell
exhaust fumes of any kind in your
vehicle, drive with all the windows fully
open. Have your vehicle checked and
repaired immediately.
WARNING
Engine exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide (CO). Though colorless and
odorless, it is dangerous and could be
lethal if inhaled. Follow the instructions
on this page to avoid CO poisoning.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts,
including components found in the
interior furnishings in a vehicle, contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects and reproductive harm. In
addition, certain fluids contained in
vehicles and certain products of
component wear contain or emit

• Do not operate the engine in confined
or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an open
area for more than a short time with the
engine running, adjust the ventilation
system (as needed) to draw outside air
into the vehicle.

for any extended time with the engine
running.
• When the engine stalls or fails to start,
excessive attempts to restart the

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters
if equipped
WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic
converter are very hot during and
immediately after the engine has been
running. To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle
over or near flammable objects, such as
grass, vegetation, paper, leaves, etc. A
hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehicle.
• Keep away from the exhaust system
and catalytic converter or 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.
