mum air pressure information is
specified on a tire side wall.
Maximum Load Rating: The load-
ing capacity for a tire, which is inflat-
ed to the maximum.
Maximum Loaded Vehicle Weight:
The sum of curb weight; accessory

the inner facing sidewall.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire: This tire
is for a passenger vehicle, a light
truck or a multipurpose vehicle.
Ply: A layer of rubber-coated parallel
cords
Pneumatic Tire: A mechanical
device made of rubber, chemicals,
fabric and steel or other materials,
that, when mounted on an automo-
tive wheel, provides the traction and
contains the gas or fluid that sustains
the load. Production Options Weight:
The
combined weight of installed regular
production options weighing over 5
lb.(2.3 kg) in excess of the standard
items which they replace, not previ-
ously considered in curb weight or
accessory weight, including heavy
duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack,
heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Recommended Inflation Pressure:
Vehicle manufacturer's recommend-
ed pressure to inflate a tire. This is
specified on a tire placard.
Radial Ply Tire: A pneumatic tire in
which the ply cords that extend to the
beads are laid at 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.
Rim: A metal support for a tire and
upon which the tire beads are seat-
ed.
Sidewall: The portion of a tire
between the tread and the bead.
Speed Rating: An alphanumeric
code to indicate the maximum speed
to which a tire can operate.
Traction: The friction between a tire
and a road surface. The amount of
grip provided.
Tread: The contacting portion of a
tire with the road.
Treadwear Indicators: This is a nar-
row band, sometimes called "wear
bars." This appears across the tread,
when only 2/32 inch of tread
remains.
UTQGS: The Uniform Tire Quality
Grading Standards is the information
of traction, temperature and tread
abrasion. A rating is measured by a
tire manufacturer in accordance with
the government-specified testing
procedure. The rating information is
specified on the tire side wall.

Maintenance
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from a possible electrical
overloading damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels - two
on the driver’s side, another on the
panel bolster of the passenger's
side, and the other in the engine
compartment.
When any of your lights, acces-
sories, or controls does not operate,
check the appropriate circuit fuse.
When a fuse is out, some elements
may melt inside.
When the electrical system does not
operate, check the fuse panel on the
driver's side first.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect
the negative battery cable. Always
replace it with a fuse of the same rat-
ing. When the newly-replaced fuse
blows, there may be an electrical
problem. Avoid using any pertinent
systems. Immediately consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are to be used:
a blade type for lower amperage rat-ing, and a cartridge type and a fusiblelink for higher amperage ratings.
Information
The actual fuse, relay panels, and
labels may differ from the equipped
items.

- Fuse replacement
Never replace a fuse with the
one of a different rating.
A higher capacity fuse may cause damage or a fire.
Never use a wire or an alu- minum foil, instead of a prop-
er fuse - even as an emergent
measure. It may damage
extensive wirings and cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove a
fuse. It may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the system.
CAUTION

Maintenance
3.Pull straight out a fuse, which is suspected to be out. Use the fuse
puller provided in the panels either
on the driver’s side or the front pas-
senger’s side.
4. Check the removed fuse. When the fuse is out, replace it.
Spare fuses are provided in the
fuse panels in the front passen-
ger's side. (or in the fuse panel of
the engine compartment)
5. Install a new fuse of the same rat- ing, and tightly secure it in the
clips.
When it is loosely fit, consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
When you do not have a spare fuse,
use a fuse of the same rating from a
circuit, such as a cigarette lighter fuse,
which may not be needed to drive. When the headlamps or other electri-
cal components do not operate, but
when the fuses are not blown out,
check the fuse panel in the engine
compartment. In case that a fuse is
blown out, it must be replaced.fuse is
blown, it must be replaced.
Fuse switch
Always set the transportation fuse
switch in the "ON" position. When
you press it OFF, some devices,
such as the audio and the digital
clock, must be reset. Also, the Smart
Key may not properly operate.
Always set the transportation
fuse switch in the "ON" position
while driving.
Do not repeatedly press the transportation fuse switch. The
fuse switch may be worn out.
Information
When you do not drive your vehicle
more than 1 month, press OFF the
transportation fuse switch to prevent
a battery discharge.

Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
Make sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with a new one of the
same wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to a fuse or an
electric wiring system.
When you are not equipped with
necessary tools, the appropriate
bulbs and the expertise, consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer. In many
cases, it is difficult to replace vehi-
cle light bulbs, because some parts
of the vehicle must be disassem-
bled before getting to the bulb. This
is especially true when disassem-
bling to replace the headlamp
bulb(s). Removing/installing the
headlamp assembly may damage
your vehicle.
Information
After heavy rain or vehicle washing,
headlamp and taillight lenses may
appear to be frosty. This is caused by
the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside. This is
similar to the dew condensation on
your windows inside while raining.
This does not indicate a problem with
your vehicle. When water penetrates
into the lamp circuitry, have the vehi-
cle checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.

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.

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.
