Hyundai Equus 2016 Owners Manual

Front air bags may not inflate in aside impact collision, because
occupants are forced to move
towards an impact direction. In this
case, inflated front air bags would
not provide additional protection.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate depending on
an impact intensity, a speed,
angles and a direction.
In an angled collision, occupants are forced to move toward an
impact direction. In this case, the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. Just before an impact, drivers tend
to heavily depress a brake pedal.
Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle, possi-
bly causing it to “under-ride” below
a vehicle with a higher ground
clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation, because the
force, which is detected by sen-
sors, may be significantly deceler-
ated in such a “under-ride” colli-
sion.
Front air bags may not inflate in a rollover, because air bag deploy-
ment would not provide protection
to occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate, when the vehicle rolls
over in a side-impact collision.

Air bags may not inflate, when avehicle collides with objects such
as utility poles or trees, where the
impact point is concentrated and
the collision energy is absorbed by
the vehicle.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance
free and there are no parts you can
safely maintain by yourself. In case
that the SRS air bag warning light
" " does not illuminate when turn-
ing ON the Engine Start/Stop button,
or when continuously remains ON,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
The SRS system, the steering wheel,
the front panel, the front seats and
the roof rails must be installed,
repaired, maintained or removed
only by an authorized EQUUS deal-
er. Improper SRS modification may
result in serious personal injury.
2-65
Safety system of your vehicle02
OVI035055N
Modification to SRS compo-nents, such as a bandage
addition to the pad covers, or
other modifications to the
body structure may adversely
affect SRS performance and
result in injury.
Not only the modification of the area, where the SRS sen-
sor are installed, but also the
modification of other areas
may affect the SRS perform-
ance and result in possible
injury.
When cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft and
dry cloth, or the one soaked
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners may adversely affect
the air bag covers and prevent
its proper deployment.

WARNING

Additional safety precautions
All occupants should sit in anupright position, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts fastened
and their feet rested on the floor.
Occupants should not take an
inappropriate seating position,
while the vehicle is moving. An
unfastened occupant may strike
against the vehicle interior, against
other occupants, or out of the vehi-
cle, in a crash or emergency stop.
Each seat belt is designed to
restrain only one occupant.
When more than one person fas-
ten the same seat belt, they may
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
Do not put any accessories on
seat belts. Devices, which claims
to improve occupants' comfort,
may reduce the protection of a seat
belt and increase the chance of
serious injury in a crash.
Occupants should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your laps or in your mouth may
result in injuries, when an air bag
inflates.
Keep occupants away from the
air bags. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats
with their seat belts fastened and
their feet rested on the floor. When
the occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be
injured if the air bags inflate.
Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side impact air bag
covers could interfere with the
proper operation of the air bags.
2-66
Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front panel above the glove
box, because such an object
may cause harm in a crash,
which is severe enough to
inflate the air bags.
After the air bags inflate, those must be replaced by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Do not modify or disconnect SRS wiring and other compo-
nents. Doing so may result in
injury, due to inadvertent air
bag inflation or the deactivat-
ed air bag system.
When components of the air bag system are to be discard-
ed, or when the vehicle must
be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be
observed. An authorized
EQUUS dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions and procedures may
increase the risk of personal
injury.
When your vehicle is flooded and the floor mats are soaked,
you should not attempt to
start the engine. Have the
vehicle towed to an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.

Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the operation of
the SRS sensing components or
side impact air bags.
Do not place items under the
front seats. Items under the front
seats could interfere with the oper-
ation of the SRS sensing compo-
nents or wiring harnesses.
Never hold an infant or child on
your laps. The infant or child may
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint or in a rear seat with a
seat belt.Adding equipment to or modify- ing your air bag-equipped vehi-cle
When you modify your vehicle frame,
bumper system, front-end or side-
sheet metal or ride height, this may
adversely affect the operation of your
vehicle's air bag system.
2-67
Safety system of your vehicle02
Sitting improperly or out of
position may cause occu-
pants to slant too close
towards a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or
be thrown from the vehicle,
resulting in serious injury or
death.
Always put a seatback upright, and seat on the cen-
ter of the seat cushion with
your seat belt fastened, legs
comfortably extended and
your feet rested on the floor.
Be careful not to impact doors, when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON. The
impact may cause the air bags
to inflate.
