2016 Hyundai Equus stop start

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

zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
Tightly close the cap, until it clicks one time. Otherwise,
the Malfunction Indicator
Light " " will illuminate.
Always confirm that the fuel cap is securely closed in
order to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.

Electronic active head restraint
The electronic active head restraint
is designed to automatically adjust
its position forwards and upwards,
when a rear impact is detected. This
helps to prevent the driver’s and front
passenger’s heads from moving
backwards and thus helps minimize
neck injuries.
The electronic active head
restraint is a safety device to
reduce injury in a rear impact. Do
not intentionally hit or pull the
head restraint.
Climate control system seat (if equipped)
This system cools or warms the front
seats by blowing air through small
vent holes both on the seat cushions
and on seatbacks.
While the engine is running, press
the rear portion of the button to cool
or warm the driver’s or the front pas-
senger’s seats.
When the operation of the climate
system seat is unnecessary, press
OFF the button.
Each time you press the button,
the air flow changes as follows:
When pressing the button for 1.5 seconds or over with the climate
control system ON, the climate
control system seat will be turned
OFF.
The default setting of the climate control system seat resets is OFF,
when the Engine Start/Stop Button
is turned ON.
With the climate control system seat ON, the system automatically
operates or stops in accordance
with a seat temperature.

Rear seat adjustment
The rear seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on doors.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-posi-
tion adjustment. Excessive
motor operation may damage
the electric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of
electric power. To prevent
unnecessary battery drain,
when the engine is turned OFF,
do not adjust the power seat
longer than necessary.
Do not press two power seat control switches or more at the
same time. Doing so may fail the
electric motor or components. Do not operate the rear power
seat, when a child restraint is
installed.
NOTICE
NOTICE
2-11
Safety system of your vehicle02
While adjusting the seat posi-
tion, use extreme caution not to
caught hands or other objects
inside the seat components.
Do not adjust the seat while fas-
tening a seat belt. Moving the
seat cushion forward may apply
strong pressure on the
abdomen.
CAUTION
The power seat is operable even
after turning OFF the Engine
Start/Stop button. Therefore,
children should never be left
unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING

While the engine is running, push the
rear portion of the button either to
warm or to cool the rear seats.
When the climate control system seat
is not needed, press OFF the button.
Each time you press the button,the air flow changes as follows:
When pressing the button for 1.5 seconds or over with the climate
control system seat ON, the seat
cooler will turn OFF.
The default setting of the climate control system seat is OFF, when
the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON.
With the climate control system seat ON, the system automatically
operates or stops in accordance
with a seat temperature.
The climate control system seat is a supplementary cooling and
warming system. Operate the
climate control system seat after
turning ON the climate control
system. Operate the climate
control seat for a prolonged
period of time without turning
ON the climate control system
may reduce performance of the
climate control system seat.
When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Such solvent may
damage the seat surface.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not spill liquid such as water
or beverages over the front seat
cushions or seatbacks.
Otherwise, the air vent holes
may be blocked and prevent the
system from working properly.
Do not leave materials, such as plastic bags or newspapers,
under the seats. The air vent
hole may not properly operate,
because the air intake is
blocked.
When the air vent hole does not operate, restart the vehicle. If a
problem persists, we recom-
mend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before using the climate control system seat, remove the
attached sticker to the rear air
vent hole.
If not, the cooling and warming
performance may decrease.

How the air bag system oper-
ates
Air bags activate (able to inflate ifnecessary) only when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON or in the
START position.
Air bags inflate in the event of a severe frontal or side collision in
order to protect occupants from
serious physical injury.
There is no single speed, at which air bags inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon a collision
severity and collision direction.
These two factors mainly deter-
mine whether the sensors produce
an electronic deployment/inflation
signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors, including a driv-
ing speed, impact angles, vehicle
density, vehicle stiffness or an
object, which your vehicle collides
with. Beyond those mentioned
above, there are more determining
factors.
The front air bags completely inflates and then deflates in an
instant. It is virtually impossible for
you to see the air bags inflating
during an accident.
It is much more likely that you sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hang-
ing out of their storage compart-
ments after the collision.
To help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is extremely fast, because
a collision instantly requires to
inflate the air bag between an
occupant and the vehicle struc-
tures, before the occupant strikes
with the vehicle interior. This instant inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening
injury in a severe collision. So, this
fast speed is a necessary part of
air bag design.
However, air bag inflation may also
cause injury, such as facial abra-
sions, bruises and broken bones,
because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with
a great deal of force.
There are even some circum- stances, under which the air bag
may cause fatal injury, especial-
ly when an occupant is posi-
tioned excessively close to the
air bag.
2-43
Safety system of your vehicle02
To avoid severe personalinjury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible (at
least 10 inches (250 mm)
away). The front passenger
should always sit in the rear-
most position.
Air bags instantly inflate in the event of a collision, and an
occupant may be injured by
the expanding force, when he
or she sits in an inappropriate
position.
Air bag inflation may cause injury, normally including
facial or bodily abrasions,
injuries from broken glasses
or burns by the air bag infla-
tion gas.
