2016 Hyundai Equus engine light

Your vehicle is designed to maximize
its driving performance as well as to
minimize exhaust emissions and
spark plug fouling, when being refu-
eled with UNLEADED FUEL.
Your vehicle is designed to use only
the unleaded fuel having a Pump
Octane number ((R+M)/2) of 87
(Research Octane Number 91) or
higher.
To further improve your vehicle per-
formance, premium unleaded fuel
having a Pump Octane number
((R+M)/2) of 91 (Research Octane
Number 96) or higher is recommend-
ed. (Do not use methanol blended
fuels.)Gasoline containing alcohol andmethanol
Gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and
ethanol (also known as grain alco-
hol), is on sale along with or instead
of leaded or unleaded gasoline.
Do not use gasohol, of which the
ethanol percentage is 10% or more.
Also, do not use gasoline or gasohol
containing any methanol. Either of
these fuels may cause drivability
problems, including hard starting,
rough running before the engine
warm-up, illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light and dam-
age to the fuel system, engine con-
trol system and emission control sys-
tem.
Stop using gasohol of any kind, if a
drivability problem occurs.
The manufacturer's warranty does
not cover vehicle damage or a dri-
vability problem, which is caused by
one of the followings:
1. Gasohol, of which the ethanol per-
centage is 10% or more
2. Gasoline or gasohol, containing methanol
3. Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol

Your vehicle at a glance01
OVI015004N❈ The actual shape may differ from the illustration.

Front seat adjustment
The front seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on the doors. Before driving, adjust
the seat position, as desired, so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and instrument-panel but-
tons.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-position
adjustment. Excessive motor
operation may damage the elec-
tric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of elec-
tric power. To prevent unneces-
sary battery drain, when the
engine is turned OFF, do not
adjust the power seat longer than
necessary.
Do not press two power seat con- trol switches or more at the same
time. Doing so may fail the electric
motor or components.
NOTICE
2-4
Safety system of your vehicle
Do not adjust the seat while fastening a seat belt. Moving
the seat cushion forward may
apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
While adjusting the seat posi- tion, use extreme caution not
to caught hands or other
objects inside the seat com-
ponents.
Do not leave a cigarette lighter on the floor mat or
seat. The operation of seat
adjustment may leak gas out
of the lighter and cause a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seat mechanism.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat position,
while fastening a seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion forward
may apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
CAUTION
The power seat is operable,
even when the ignition is OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
vehicle.
CAUTION

SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. Driver’s knee air bag module
11. “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”indicator (Front passenger’s seat
only)
12. Occupant classification system (Front passenger’s seat only)
13. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors
14. Anchor pre-tensioner assembly
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON to determine
if a crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.

(Continued)
When a child is seated in rear seats (not in the rear center
seat) equipped with side/cur-
tain air bags, make sure to
install the child restraint as far
away from the door as possi-
ble, and securely lock the
child restraint in position.
Inflation of side/curtain air
bags may cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.
OVI035116N

The SRS air bag warning light " "
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds
after the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON. Soon, the SRS air bag
warning light " " turns OFF.The front air bag modules are locat-
ed inside the center of the steering
wheel, the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, and the driver’s
side knee bolster. When the SRSCM
detects sufficient impact from the
front of a vehicle, it automatically
deploys the front air bags.
During an air bag deployment, tear
seams, which are directly molded
under the pad cover, will break apart
under pressure. Opening of the cover
allows full inflation of air bags.

soon as possible.
The light does not turn ON,
right after turning ON the igni-
tion.
The light remains illuminated after approximately 6 sec-
onds.

Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the
front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system is designed to
detect the presence of a properly-
seated front passenger and deter-
mine whether to inflate the front pas-
senger's air bag or not. The driver's
front air bag is not affected or con-
trolled by the occupant classification
system.

Safety system of your vehicle
OVI035080N
When an air bag deploys,there may be a loud noise with
fine dust released inside the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and not hazardous -
the air bags are packed in fine
powder. The dust released
during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irrita-
tion as well as aggravate asth-
ma for some occupants.
Thoroughly wash all exposed
skin areas with warm water
and mild soap after an acci-
dent in which the air bags
deploy.
The SRS operates, only when the ignition switch is ON.
When the SRS air bag warning
light " " does not illuminate,
and when it continuously
remains ON for more than 6
seconds after turning ON the
ignition switch or starting the
engine, the SRS does not
properly operate. In this case,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the Engine Start/Stop
Button OFF. Never remove or
replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON.
Failure to follow this warning
may cause the SRS air bag
warning light " " to illumi-
nate.
