• 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. We recommend that all
inspections and adjustments must
be made by an authorised Retailer of
Genesis Branded Products.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
catalytic converter.
Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF)
(if equipped)
Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF) system
removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
The GPF system automatically burns
(or oxidizes) 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 normal/ high driving
speeds.
However, when the vehicle is continually
driven at repeated short distances or
driven at low speed for a long time,
the accumulated soot may not be
automatically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this case,
the accumulated soot may reach a
certain amount regardless of the soot
oxidization process, then the GPF lamp
(
) will illuminate.
The Petrol Particulate Filter (GPF) lamp
stops illuminating, when the driving
speed exceeds 50 mph with engine rpm
1,500 ~ 4,000 and the gear in the 3rd
position or above for approximately 30
minutes.
When the GPF lamp starts to blink or
the warning message “Check exhaust
system” pops up even though the
vehicle was driven as mentioned above,
we recommend that you have the GPF
system checked by an authorised retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
With GPF lamp blinking for an extended
period of time, it may damage the GPF
system and lower the fuel economy.
CAUTION
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 additives, they
may damage the GPF system and cause
exhaust emission problems.
