Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control in the air
recirculation mode. Make sure to
return to be in the (fresh) air intake
mode when the irritating dust and
gas fade away and the fresh air
intake is possible. This will keep
the driver alert and comfortable.
Air needed for the heating/cooling system is taken inside through the
grilles in front of the windshield.
Care should be taken that these
are not blocked by leaves, snow,
ice or other substances. To prevent fogging on the inside of
the windshield, set the air intake
control in the (fresh) air intake
mode, set the fan speed as
desired, turn ON the A/C, and
adjust the temperature as desired.
Air conditioning
1. Start the engine. Press the A/Cbutton.
2. Set in the mode.
3. Set the air intake control either in the (fresh) air intake mode or in
the air recirculation mode.
4. Adjust the fan speed and tempera- ture for your greatest comfort.
Information
• When using the A/C system, closelymonitor the engine temperature
gauge while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when the outside tem-
perature is high. A/C operation may
overheat the engine. Continuously
use the blower fan. However, turn
the air conditioning system OFF if
the engine temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid weather, A/C operation may
create dew condensation inside the
vehicle. Since excessive dew conden-
sation may cause damage to electri-
cal equipment, A/C should be oper-
ated only with the windows closed.

Air conditioning system operation
tips
When the vehicle is parked underthe direct sunlight in hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to expel the hot air inside from the
vehicle.
To reduce the dew condensation on the inside of the windows on
rainy or humid days, lower the
humidity inside the vehicle by
operating the A/C system.
During the A/C operation, you may occasionally notice a slight
change in the engine speed, as
the A/C compressor cycles. This is
a normal condition.
Test the A/C system every month only for a few minutes to maximize
the system performance.
After the inside temperature becomes sufficiently cool, change
the air intake control from the air
recirculation mode to the (fresh)
air intake mode.
When operating the A/C system, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) from the
passenger side of the vehicle. This
does not indicate a system failure.
The air recirculation mode of the A/C provides the maximum cool-
ing. However, a prolonged period
of the A/C operation in this mode
may make the air stale inside the
vehicle.
While operating the A/C system, you may occasionally notice the
dew condensation because of the
rapid cooling process and humid
air intake. This does not mean
there is not a system failure.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter is
installed behind the glove box to filter
out dust or other pollutants that come
into the vehicle from the outside
through the heating and air condi-
tioning systems.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air intake volume may decrease,
resulting in the dew condensation
inside the windshield even when set-
ting in the (fresh) air intake mode. In
this case, have the climate control air
filter replaced by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Information
• Replace the filter every 15,000 miles(24,000 km) or once a year. If the car
has been driven in severe conditions
such as dusty or rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are
required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, have the system checked
by an authorized EQUUS dealer.

For the maximum defrosting effects, set the temperature to be
extreme hot (extreme right) and
set the fan speed in the highest.
When you want warm air near the floor while defrosting or defogging,
set the mode in the floor-defrost
position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors,
and all side windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill
to improve heater and defroster
efficiency and to prevent possible
dew condensation on the inside of
the windshield.
Information
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, brief warming up of the
engine may be required to warm the
air in the air outlet.
To defog inside windshield
1. Select the desired fan speed.
2. Select the desired temperature.
3. Press the defrost button ( ).
4. The (fresh) air intake mode will beselected automatically.
If the (fresh) air intake mode is not
selected automatically, adjust the
corresponding buttons manually.

- Windshield heating
Do not set in the or in the
position when operating the
A/C in extremely humid weath-
er. The difference between the
outside and inside tempera-
tures could cause the dew con-
densation on the outer surface
of the windshield, causing loss
of driver's view, serious injury
or death. In this case, set the
knob or the button in the
position and lower the fan
speed.

Driving your vehicle
- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes may be extremely dangerous. When, at any time, you
smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, immediately open the windows.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, the colorless, odorless gas that
may cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to
change the oil or for any other purpose. If you notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system or if you drive over something that strikes the vehicle
underneath, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Letting the engine idle in a garage, even with the garage door open, is haz-
ardous. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start
the engine and move out the vehicle.
Avoid idling the engine for a prolonged period of time with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period of time with people
inside the vehicle, idle the engine in an open area with the air control in the
(fresh) air intake mode and the fan operating at a high speed. Thus, fresh air
can be taken into the interior.
When you need to drive with the trunk lid open because of the object you carry,
make sure the followings:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control in (fresh) air intake mode, the air flow directed toward "Floor" or "Face," and the fan at a high speed.
To assure proper ventilation, clear snow, ice, leaves or other substances from
the air inlet just in front of the windshield.
