2016 Hyundai Equus gas type

Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful
manganese-based fuel additives
such as MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese
Tricarbonyl). HYUNDAI does not rec-
ommend to use gasoline containing
MMT. This type of fuel may reduce
vehicle performance and affect your
emission control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the cluster may illuminate.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used. This
type of fuel may reduce vehicle per-
formance and damage the fuel sys-
tem components, engine control sys-
tem and emission control system.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends you to use
high-quality gasoline, treated with
detergent additives such as TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline. This prevents
deposit formation in the engine. These
types of gasoline will help to clean the
engine and to enhance performance
of the Emission Control System. For
more information on TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline, please go to the
website (www.toptiergas.com).
For drivers, who do not regularly use
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline and
have problems, such as hard starting
or rough engine running, gasoline
additives can be separately added.
When TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
is unavailable, one bottle of additives
is recommended at every 7,500 miles
or in every 12 months.
Additives are available from your
authorized EQUUS dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do
not mix it with other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
When you plan to drive your vehicle
in another country, make sure to:
Check all regulations, regardingregistrations and insurances.
Find out whether the acceptable fuel is available.

Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover dam-
age to the fuel system and any
performance problems that are
caused by the use of fuels con-
taining methanol.
CAUTION

Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous,
when incorrectly done. Therefore, to
avoid any harm to yourself or dam-
ages to the vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions. When
you do not fully understand the
instructions, we strongly recommend
to contact a competent technician or
to tow your vehicle for jump starting.
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
The 12-volt starting motor, ignition
system, and other electrical parts
may be damaged when using a 24-
volt power supply. (There are two
types of jumper systems; a 12-volt
motor generator set or a 24-volt
motor generator set.)

- Battery
Never attempt to check the bat-
tery electrolyte level, as this
may disrupt or explode the bat-
tery, causing a serious injury.
WARNING
- Battery
• Keep the battery away from any flames or sparks. The bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas,
which may explode upon
being exposed to flame or
sparks. When you neglect this
warning, a serious personal
injury and vehicle damage
may occur! When you do not
fully understand these
instructions, find the qualified
assistance. Your battery con-
tains sulfuric acids, which is
poisonous and highly corro-
sive. When jump starting,
wear protective glasses and
be careful not to expose those
acids to yourself, your cloth-
ing or even the vehicle itself.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle, when the dis-
charged battery is frozen or
when the electrolyte level is
low. This may disrupt or
explode the battery.

Information
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance in comparison to halogen bulbs.
HID lamps are estimated to last twice
as long as halogen bulbs, or longer, by
the manufacturer, depending on the
usage hours. HID lamps needs to be
replaced at some point within the
vehicle life. Frequent turning the
headlamps ON and OFF shortens the
HID lamps life. HID lamps do not
blow out in the same manner as halo-
gen incandescent lamps. When a
headlamp blows out after a period of
operation, the lamp light gradually
fades away after being turned ON.
Even when the lamp is turned ON by
turning ON the switch, it needs to be
replaced. The HID lamp components
are more complex than the ones of
conventional halogen bulbs. Thus, the
repairing costs are more expensive.

When a bulb is out, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.

bulbs to avoid scratches and
abrasions. If the bulbs are lit,
avoid contact with liquids.
Never touch the glass with bare hands. Any remaining oil
may cause the bulb to over-
heat and explode upon being
lit.
When a bulb is damaged or cracked, immediately replace
it. Then, carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection while replacing a bulb. If hot, cool
down the bulb before han-
dling it.
