Hyundai Equus: Rear seat adjustment

The rear seat can be adjusted by using the control switches located on the door.

WARNING

The power seat is operable with the Engine Start/Stop Button in OFF. Therefore, children should never be left unattended in the vehicle.

CAUTION

• The power seat is driven by electric motors. Stop operating once the adjustment is completed. Excessive operation may damage the electrical equipment.

• When in operation, the power seat consumes a large amount of electrical power. To prevent unnecessary battery drain, don’t adjust the power seat longer than necessary while the engine is not running.

• Do not operate two or more power seat control switches at the same time. Doing so may result in power seat motor or electrical component malfunction.

WARNING

Use extreme caution so that hands or other objects are not caught in the seat mechanisms while the seat is moving. Do not adjust the seat while wearing seat belts. Moving the seat cushion forward may cause strong pressure on the abdomen.

WARNING

Do not operate the rear power seat while the child seat is installed.

Headrest

The rear seat is equipped with headrests in all the seating positions for the occupant's safety and comfort.

The headrest not only provides comfort for passengers, but also helps to protect the head and neck in the event of a collision.

WARNING

• For maximum effectiveness in case of an accident, the headrest should be adjusted so the middle of the headrest is at the same height as the center of gravity of an occupant's head. Generally, the center of gravity of most people's head is similar with the height of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust the headrest as close to your head as possible. The use of a cushion that holds the body away from the seatback is not recommended.

• Do not operate the vehicle with the headrests removed as severe injury to an occupant may occur in the event of an accident. Headrests may provide protection against severe neck injuries when properly adjusted.

Adjusting the headrest up and down

The headrest may be adjusted forward or backward by pulling the lower part of the headrest forward or backward to the desired detent in the direction of the arrow. Adjust the headrest so that it properly supports the head and neck.

Climate control system seat (if equipped)

This feature cools or warms the rear seats by blowing air through small vent hole on the surface of the seats and seatbacks.

While the engine is running, push the rear portion of the switch to cool or warm the rear seats.

When the operation of the the climate control system seat is not needed, keep the switches in the OFF position.

• • Each time you push the button, the airflow changes as follows:

• • When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the climate control system seat operating, the seat cooler will turn OFF.

• • The climate control system seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine Start/Stop Button is turned on.

• • With the climate control system seat ON to cool or warm the rear seats, the system turns off or on automatically depending on the seat temperature.

CAUTION

• The climate control system seat is a supplementary cooling and warming system. Use the climate control seat when the climate control system is on. Using the climate control seat for prolonged periods of time with the climate control system off could cause the climate control seat performance to be reduced.

• When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so may damage the surface of the seats.

• Do not spill liquid such as water or beverages on the surface of the front seats and seatbacks, or the air vent holes may be blocked and prevented from working properly.

• Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under the seats. The air vent may not work properly as the air intake can be blocked.

• When the air vent does not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no change, we recommend that the system be inspected by an authorized EQUUS dealer.

• Before using the climate control system seat, remove the sticker attached to the rear air vent. If not, the cooling and warming performance may decrease.
