Congratulations (to dieseldogg) on making a post which makes no sense.
I'm going to assume you meant 'because a salesman SAYS they do cover the DPF under their 5 year warranty'.
Unfortunately, you are assuming that a salesman is a mechanic, or a service adviser, or knows something more than the bottom line he can sell a car for. There is a reason he works in sales; it is because he is good at SELLING.
Please ask the salesman if you can have this statement about the DPF in writing, with his bosses signature attached. If that is forthcoming, then it is a different matter.
Reading Hyundai's website, and the warranty details on it, it doesn't specifically exclude the DPF from the warranty. However, you may find that there are specific instructions in an owners manual on 'what to do if the DPF light comes on', for forcing a regeneration. Failure to comply with those instructions (which might well include a 30 minute motorway run at speed), might then put an owner outside of the warranty.
