You may use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of RON 91-94 / AKI 87-90 but it may result in slight performance reduction of the vehicle. (Do not use methanol blended fuels) Your new vehicle is designed to obtain maximum performance with UNLEADED FUEL, as well as minimise exhaust emissions and spark plug fouling. NOTICE NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is detrimental to the catalytic converter and will damage the engine control system’s oxygen sensor and affect emission control. Never add any fuel system cleaning agents to the fuel tank other than what has been specified (We recommend that you consult a Genesis authorised repairer for details.) WARNING Do not “top off” after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refuelling. Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident. 1-4 01 Petrol containing alcohol and methanol Gasohol, a mixture of petrol and ethanol (also known as grain alcohol), and petrol or gasohol containing methanol (also known as wood alcohol) are being marketed along with or instead of leaded or unleaded petrol. Do not use gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, and do not use petrol or gasohol containing any methanol. Either of these fuels may cause drivability problems and damage to the fuel system, engine control system and emission control system. Discontinue using gasohol of any kind if drivability problems occur. Vehicle damage or drivability problems may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty if they result from the use of: 1. Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol. 2. Petrol or gasohol containing methanol. 3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol. NOTICE Never use gasohol which contains methanol. Discontinue use of any gasohol product which impairs drivability. Other fuels Using fuel additives such as: - Silicone fuel additive - MMT (Magnanese, Mn) fuel additive - Ferrocene (iron-based) fuel additive - Other metallic-based fuel additives may result in cylinder misfire, poor acceleration, engine stalling, damage to the catalyst, or abnormal corrosion, and may cause damage to the engine resulting in a reduction in the overall life of the powertrain. NOTICE Damage to the fuel system or performance problem caused by the use of these fuels may not be covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty. 1-5 Introduction Use of MTBE Genesis Vehicle recommends avoiding fuels containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) over 15.0% vol.

  • Research and Development in Acoustics for Practical Sound Control Engineering
    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN ACOUSTICS FOR PRACTICAL SOUND CONTROL ENGINEERING Joachim Scheuren Müller-BBM GmbH, Planegg, Germany [email protected] Abstract Due to the pleasance and relevance listening to sounds may have, the investigation and targeted appli- cation of acoustic principles has been a constitutive element of natural science and technology since the earliest times. Starting from enjoyable sounds and communication once, the glut of today’s unwanted sounds as well as the unlimited availability of specially generated, wanted sounds have turned acoustics into an indispensable element of modern technology. This has been strongly pushed forward by the need for well-aimed control of unwanted, annoying or even health affecting sounds and vibrations as inherently generated by our progressively mechanised world. Thus, practical noise con- trol engineering has strongly contributed to and benefited from any progress in the field of acoustics. And, to meet future challenges, effective noise control engineering will continue to stimulate as well as to crucially depend on further progress in acoustics. The lecture demonstrates how research on noise effects helps to identify problems, how such problems then provoke better insight and methodological approaches and, finally, how any related acoustic progress then leads to innovative solutions in practical noise control. To further highlight the importance of research and development in acoustics for practical noise control engineering, recent fields of interest will be presented and discussed in some detail: the capabilities of experimental mod- elling in transfer path analysis and synthesis, the conceptive impact of modelling rolling noise genera- tion, the great potential of consequent application of acoustic principles to silent road surface design and the innovative perspectives of active sound control.

  • Comprehensive Automotive Active Sound Design Part 1: Electric and Combustion Vehicles
    Comprehensive Automotive Active Sound Design part 1: electric and combustion vehicles Markus BODDEN; Torsten BELSCHNER neosonic, Germany ABSTRACT The optimization of vehicle sound does not only require the optimization of each component, but the optimization of the combination of the different sounds in order to achieve a homogenous and effective overall sound. Active Sound Design methods offer new possibilities to achieve this ambitious aim, and furthermore to align the overall sound to the Brand Identity. neosonic has developed the modular comprehensive Active Sound Design system elvis3 (ELaborate Vehicle Integrated Sound Signature System) which integrates all audio aspects of the vehicle into one comprehensive tool chain. One component of the system, elvis3 e-motion, is the world’s first system used in series in an electric vehicle to create interior vehicle sound (AMG SLS ED Coupe). With the innovative signature-based approach the AMG sound of the 21st century has been realized. A second component, elvis3 Cesar, implements sophisticated support for vehicles with combustion engines using refined signal processing. These two components will be explained in detail along with the flexible system concept. Advanced system modules and applications are part of the second presentation. Keywords: Active Sound Design I-INCE Classification of Subjects Number(s): 38.2 1. INTRODUCTION A lot of different components contribute to the overall vehicle sound. Major sources are the engine and road and wind contributions, supplemented by a variety of other components originating from the gearbox, the climate system, and all electric and mechanic components, plus the feedback and warning sounds. The typical way is to optimize each component separately during its development process, resulting in the fact that a systematic optimization and harmonization of the resulting overall vehicle sound is not possible.

  • Active Sound Design for a Passenger Car Based on Adaptive Order Filter
    Active sound design for a passenger car based on adaptive order filter Sang kwon LEE1; Seung Min LEE2; In Deuk KANG3; Taejin SHIN4 1 Inha University, Korea 2 Inha University, Korea 3 Inha University, Korea 4 Inha University, Korea ABSTRACT The paper presents an adaptive order filter for the sound design of a passenger car. The engine speed is calculated by using the pulse signal detected at engine speed sensor such as cam shaft position sensor (CSPS) or engine ignition position sensor (EIPS). Nowadays, the pulse signal of engine speed is delivered to the engine management control unit (ECU) system. The ECU supplies the engine speed data to the display throughout a high speed gateway. The ANC system can also use this data for the generation of reference signal. Most of reference signals used for the noise control of an engine are the sine wave at the instant frequency (rpm/60). This sine wave is discretely changed with the increment of engine speed but not continuous. Therefore, the ANC system using this reference cannot work when the engine speed is changed rapidly form 1000rpm to 6000rpm but work well at the fixed rpm. In this paper new adaptive order filter (AOF) for the ANC system of interior noise of a car is proposed. The new algorism uses the continuous reference signal instead of the sine wave. This ANC system is also applied for the active sound design (ASD). The AOF is very excellent algorithm for the ASD of a vehicle. Keywords: Active Noise Control(ANC), Adaptive Order Filter(AOF), Active Sound Design(ASD) 1.

The intake noise of the engine was enhanced by means of a resonator and pipe routing without active intervention at the passenger compartment. As the name Active Sound Design (ASD) suggests, the Active Sound Design is an active system. The engine sound is evaluated by means of a control unit. The engine sound is evaluated according to the programed sound specification and various parame- ters such as the accelerator pedal angle (driver's desired load), engine speed and torque for example. It is then output via the vehicle's own audio system in the passenger com- partment. The ASD system complements the sound of the interior space of the passenger com- partment through electronically generated engine sounds. Due to the increasingly better vehicle noise absorption and increased vehicle performance, BMW is initially launching the system in some models. Additionally other noise generated applications are still pos- sible, such as sound generation in the vehicle exterior area for electric vehicles.

  • Developing Cost-Effective, Power-Efficient Active Noise
    Developing Cost-Effective, Power-Efficient Active Noise Control Applications with Dedicated DSPs By Dr. Rolf Schirmacher, Managing Director, Müller-BBM Active Sound Technology, and Gerard Andrews, Product Director, Cadence Design Systems As automotive engineers strive to create “greener” vehicles, some of their energy-saving techniques—such as removing vibration reduction materials or allowing higher cylinder engines to operate with fewer cylinders under certain driving conditions—are resulting in a noisier cabin experience. In order to provide a better driving experience and reduce this newly introduced noise, many engineers are now tapping into the vehicle’s audio system to cancel out the noise, a process known as active noise control (ANC). To be effective, ANC systems must be designed for real-time, low-latency performance. Using a dedicated audio DSP presents a cost-effective technique to implement low-latency ANC algorithms and, in many cases, other audio processing as well. Having such a core integrated in some larger system on chip (SoC) combines the benefits of two worlds – dedicated low-latency computing resources without extra components or board space.

  • A New Method for Active Cancellation of Engine Order Noise in a Passenger Car

Abstract: This paper presents a novel active noise cancellation (ANC) method to reduce the engine noise inside the cabin of a car. During the last three decades, many methods have been developed for the active control of a quasi-stationary narrowband sinusoidal signal. However, since the interior noise signal is non-stationary with a fast frequency variation when the car accelerates rapidly, these methods cannot stably reduce the interior noise. The proposed method can reduce the interior noise stably even if the speed of the car is changed quickly. The method uses an adaptive filter with an optimal weight vector for the active control of such an engine noise. The method of determining the optimal weight vector of an adaptive filter is demonstrated. In order to validate the advantages of the proposed method, a conventional method and the proposed method are simulated with three synthesized signals. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the cancellation of booming noise in a sport utility vehicle.

  • Active Sound Design: Vacuum Cleaner
    ACTIVE SOUND DESIGN: VACUUM CLEANER PACS REFERENCE: 43.50 Qp Bodden, Markus (1); Iglseder, Heinrich (2) (1): Ingenieurbüro Dr. Bodden; (2): STMS Ingenieurbüro (1): Ursulastr. 21; (2): im Fasanenkamp 10 (1): D-45131 Essen; (2): D-31552 Rodenberg Germany Tel: +49 201 4 30 84-17 Fax: +49 201 4 30 84-18 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The acoustical channel is explicitly feasible to intuitively inform the user of a product about the current status of operation and to give a feedback about the performed action. The inherently produced sound of the product often is not sufficient to give an appropriate feedback, so that additional signals have to be generated and reproduced. A patent pending method of Active Sound Design for vacuum cleaners is presented in this paper. The amount of currently aspired dust is measured, and this data is used to generate an acoustical feedback. This feedback is played back via a loudspeaker integrated into the vacuum cleaner. INTRODUCTION The definition of Sound Quality by Blauert and Bodden (1994, “Sound Quality is the suitability of a sound for a specific technical task”, see also Bodden, 1997) means that the sounds of products are not undesired in general, but that they fulfill a specific purpose. In this context the aspects of interaction in order to be able to control and to handle a product and the satisfaction of the user are especially important. The sounds that products emit are not only noises, they are suitable to transmit information to the user. The acoustical channel is especially suitable to inform the user about the status of operation of a product and to give a feedback about the executed action.
