2016 Hyundai Equus sensor

The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.
It monitors the rear area of the vehi-
cle and provides information to the
driver.(1) BSD (Blind spot detection)
The warning range varies in
accordance with a driving speed.
When your vehicle drives 6 mph
(10 km/h) faster than the other
vehicles, the system will not warn
you.
(2) LCA (Lane change assist) When a vehicle approaches you
at a high speed, the system will
warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert) When your vehicle drives back-
wards, and when the sensor
detects the approaching vehicle
in the left and right side, the sys-
tem will warn you.

Warning message
When the detecting sensor perform-
ance is bad, or when the sensors are
overheated by foreign substances on
the rear bumper, the warning mes-
sage will be displayed to alert the
driver. However, the message may
be displayed even in an open place
without any vehicles to be detected
due to bad weather. Remove the for-
eign substance on the rear bumper.

RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle drives backwards
after parking, the sensor detects any
approaching vehicles from the left
and right sides and gives information
to the driver.
Operating conditions
When you press the BSD switchwith the ignition ON, the BSD indi-
cator illuminates and the system
turns ON.
The system operates, when the driving speed is below 6.2 mph (10
km/h) with the shift lever in
R(Rear).
The RCTA sensing range is from 0.5m to 20m in accordance with
the directions. When the approach-
ing vehicle speed is from 2.5 mph
(4 km/h) to 22 mph (36 km/h) with-
in the sensing range, it will be
detected. However, the system
sensing range is varied in different
conditions. Always take a look
around the vehicle.
Warning type
When the sensor detects anyapproaching vehicles behind, the
warning light will flash on the out-
side rearview mirror with an warn-
ing alarm.
When an approaching vehicle behind is out of the sensing range,
when it drives away in the opposite
direction or when it drives slowly,
the warnings will be turned OFF.
The system may not normally operate due to certain factors.
Always take a look around your
vehicle.
❈ When the left- or right-side
bumper of your vehicle is blinded
by barriers or vehicles, the system
sensing performance may be
deteriorated.

The system may not properlyoperate, when the bumper is
replaced, or when a repair work
is done near the sensor.
The sensing range differs according to the roads width.
When the road is narrow, the
system may detect other vehi-
cles in the next lane.
On the contrary, when the road is wide, the system may not
detect other vehicles.
The system may be turn OFF due to the strong electromagnet-
ic waves.

Information
A tire pressure sensor is not equipped
with the spare tire.
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator illu-
minates after approximately 1-
minute flashing, when the TPMS
detects the malfunction.
Immediately have the system
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer to find the cause of the mal-
function.
Information
If there is the TPMS malfunction, the
low tire pressure position telltale will
not illuminate even with an under-
inflated tire.
The TPMS malfunction indicatormay remain ON after approxi-
mately 1-minute flashing, when
the vehicle drives near electric
power supply cables or a radio
transmitter, such as a police sta-
tion, government/public office,
broadcasting station, military
installation, airport, or transmit-
ting tower. Those may interfere
the normal TPMS operation.
The TPMS malfunction indicator may remain ON after approxi-
mately 1-minute flashing, when
the snow chains or some of your
personal electronic devices, such
as a laptop computer, mobile
charger, remote starting device or
navigation, are used inside the
vehicle. Those may interrupt the
normal TPMS operation.

What to do in an emergency06
The low tire pressure telltale
may illuminate in cold weather,
when the tire pressure was
adjusted in warm weather. It
does not indicate the TPMS mal-
function, because the lower
temperature proportionally low-
ers the tire pressure.
When your vehicle drive
through the severe temperature
difference, from warm to cold
and vice versa, or the outside
temperature is greatly higher or
lower, you should check and
readjust the tire pressure to the
recommended level.
CAUTION
- Low pressure damage
Significantly under-inflated
tires makes your driving unsta-
ble, possibly increasing a brak-
ing distance and causing a loss
of vehicle control.
Long-time driving on under-
inflated tires may overheat or
fail the tires.
WARNING

Changing a tire with TPMS
When you have a flat tire, both of the
low tire pressure telltale and the low
tire position telltale will illuminate.
Immediately have the flat tire
repaired or replaced by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
Thus, when replacing with the spare
tire, the low tire pressure telltale will
remain ON.
Also, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after 1-minute flashing,
when the vehicle drives at a speed
above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for
approximately 20 minutes.
When the tire equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring sensor is re-
inflated to the recommended level,
the low tire pressure telltale and
TPMS malfunction indicator will go
OFF for a few minutes.
When the indicator illumination does
not go OFF after a few minutes,
please visit an authorized EQUUS
dealer.Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor, inside the tire and
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tire). You must use the TPMS-
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized EQUUS deal-
er.
You cannot diagnose under-inflation
of a tire only with eyes. Always use a
tire pressure gauge of good quality to
measure the pressure level. Please
note that a heated tire (from being
driven) has higher pressure meas-
urement criteria than a cold tire.
A cold tire means the vehicle was
driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km),
or was mostly idle for the last 3
hours.
Cool down the tire before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always make
sure that the tire is cold before inflat-
ing the tire to the recommended
pressure level.
6-10
What to do in an emergency
Never use an unauthorized
puncture-repairing agent to
repair and/or inflate an under-
inflated tire. Unauthorized tire
sealant may damage the tire
pressure sensor.
CAUTION
- TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert the driver to a sudden but severe
tire damage caused by exter-
nal factors, such as nails or
road debris.
When you sense any driving instability, immediately take
your foot off the accelerator,
lightly apply the brakes, and
slowly drive to a safe place off
the road.
