2016 Hyundai Equus engine

Electronic Hydraulic Power
Steering (EHPS)
This system uses an electromotor to
assist your steering. When the
engine is turned OFF, or when the
EHPS becomes inoperative, you
may still steer the vehicle, but it
requires more effort in steering.
When you notice such a change
while steering, have the EHPS
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Do not turn the steering wheel to
the extreme right or left for five
seconds or over, while running the
engine. This may cause damage to
the EHPS motor pump.
Information
When there is a malfunction with the
EHPS motor pump, the efforts to steer
may greatly increase.
Information
When the vehicle is parked outside for
an extended period of time at a cold
temperature (below 14°F/-10°C), the
power steering may require more
efforts, after first starting the engine.
This is due to the increased fluid vis-
cosity at a cold temperature and does
not indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, depress the accel-
erator to increase the engine RPM,
until it reaches 1,500 rpm. Then, let
the engine idle for two-to-three min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
Tilt Steering/Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3) with the knob (1) on
the steering column. Move the steer-
ing wheel, so it points toward your
chest, not toward your face. Make
sure you can monitor the warning
lights and gauges on the instrument
cluster. After adjusting, slightly push
up and down the steering wheel to
assure that it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.

Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric chromic mirror automat-
ically controls the glare from the
headlamps of the vehicles behind
during the night time or low light driv-
ing conditions. The sensor mounted
in the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and automatical-
ly controls the headlamp glare from
following vehicles.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is in R
(Reverse), the mirror automatically
sets to be in the brightest mode in
order to improve the driver's
rearview. When the ECM inside the
rear view mirror operates, it will oper-
ate.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or clean cloth damp-
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
Reverse Parking Aid Function
When you set the shift lever in R
(Reverse), the outside rearview mir-
ror(s) will slightly rotate downwards
to aid the driver to drive backwards.
The position of the outside rearview
mirror switch (1) determines whether
or not the mirrors will move:
Left/Right: When either the L or R
switch is selected, both
outside rearview mirrors
will move.
Neutral: When neither of the switch-
es is selected, the outside
rearview mirrors will not
move.
The outside rearview mirrors will
automatically reset to their default
positions, when one of the followings
occurs:
The Engine Start/Stop Button is pressed to either the OFF position
or the ACC position.
The shift lever is not in R(Reverse).
The outside rearview mirror switch is not selected.

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to find the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
Do not operate the engine when
the tachometer pointer is in the
RED ZONE. This may cause severe
engine damage.
Engine Coolant TemperatureGauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
engine is running.
If the gauge pointer moves out of
the normal range area, toward the
“H” position, it indicates overheat-
ing of the engine that may damage
the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehicle
is overheated, refer to “If the Engine
Overheats” in the chapter 6.
