10 Things You Should Know About the 2011 Hyundai Equus
#4. With a few exceptions, controls are logical and intuitive.
Unlike many of the cars it's designed to compete with, the 2011 Hyundai
Equus's version of BMW's iDrive and Mercedes-Benz's COMAND system is
relatively easy to master quickly. That's due, in part, to Hyundai's
wise decision to keep at least some of the primary controls out of the
clutches of that console-mounted dial. As a result, drivers can cool
the cabin or adjust the fan speed without diving into a technological
abyss. The sound system, another feature preyed upon by central-command
systems, is largely operated with the dial, though buttons for FM/AM,
XM, and DISC/AUX simplify things.
Just when we were starting to feel as though we were smarter than the
Equus, we found the Climate button, located just below the center
screen. Tap it and you'll see a display of current settings on the
center screen, suggesting to us that the climate control system was
integrated with the central dial. Not so. That screen is for reference
only.
