Safety system of your vehicleTo reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when being restrained in a
rear seat. A child, seating in
front, may be forcefully struck
with an inflating air bag. This
may result in serious or fatal
injury.
Always follow the instructions of the child restraint manufac-
turer's for installation and
usage.
Always make sure that the child seat is properly secured,
and that your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or on your laps when
riding in a vehicle. The violent
impact in a crash may force
you miss the child from your
arms and the child may strike
against the vehicle interior.
Never fasten a single seat belt over you and a child. In a
crash, the belt may apply
sharp pressure on the child,
causing serious internal
injury.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle is eas-
ily heated up, resulting in seri-
ous injury of a child inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently move the vehi-
cle, entangle themselves in a
window frame, or lock them-
selves or others inside the
vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow two children, orany two persons, to fasten the
same seat belt.
Children often squirm and shift their position. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder
belt under their arm or behind
their back. Always properly
seat and secure a child in a
rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand up, or kneel on a seat or a
floor mat, while the vehicle is
in motion. During a collision
or a sudden stop, the child
may be violently strike against
the vehicle interior, resulting
in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat, which
"hooks" over a seatback. It
may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
Do not operate a rear power seat, when a child seat is
installed. The power seat may
be broken.
After an accident, have an authorized EQUUS dealer
check the child restraint, seat
belt, and tether/lower
anchors.
When the space to place a child restraint is insufficient
due to the driver's seat, install
it in the right rear seat.WARNING

Safety system of your vehicle02
(Continued)
When a child is seated in rear seats (not in the rear center
seat) equipped with side/cur-
tain air bags, make sure to
install the child restraint as far
away from the door as possi-
ble, and securely lock the
child restraint in position.
Inflation of side/curtain air
bags may cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.
OVI035116N

A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly fastened seat
belt, slows the driver's or the passen-
ger's forward motion, reducing the
risk of head and chest injury.
After a complete inflation, an air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer and operate
other controls.

Passenger’s front air bag
Do not install or place anyaccessories (drink holder, CD
holder, sticker, etc.) on the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box, in which a pas-
senger's air bag is equipped.
Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and
cause injury, when the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not locate it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel. It may
become a dangerous projec-
tile and cause injury, when the
passenger's air bag inflates.
WARNING

Driver's and front passenger's
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (Air
Bag) and the seat belts in both the
driver's and front passenger's seats.
The presence of this system is indi-
cated with the letters, "SRS AIR
BAG," embossed on the air bag pad
cover on the steering wheel, the
knee bolster below the steering
wheel column and the front panel
above the glove box.
The SRS air bags are installed under
the steering wheel, the knee bolster
below the steering wheel column and
the front panel above the glove box.
2-54
Safety system of your vehicleWhen the occupant classifica-
tion system does not properly
operate, the SRS air bag warn-
ing light will illuminate on
the instrument panel. This is
because the front passenger's
air bag is connected with the
occupant classification system.
When there is a malfunction of
the occupant classification sys-
tem, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will not illumi-
nate, and the passenger's front
air bag may inflate in a frontal
crash even without any occu-
pant in the seat. When the SRS
air bag warning light does not
illuminate when turning ON the
Engine Start/Stop button, when
it remains illuminated approxi-
mately 6 seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is
turned ON, or when it remains
illuminated while driving, have
an authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS air bag
system as soon as possible.
WARNING
OVI035038N
Driver’s front air bag
OVI035039N
Driver’s knee air bag

The purpose of the SRS is to provide
greater protection to the driver and
the front passenger than being pro-
tected only by the seat belt system in
a frontal crash of a sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about occupants' seat
position, seat belt fastening and
impact severity.The seat belt buckle sensors verify
whether an occupant's seat belt is
fastened or not. These sensors con-
trol the SRS deployment with the
information, such as fastening of a
seat belt and an impact severity.
The advanced SRS controls the air
bag inflation in two levels. The first
level is provided for a moderate
impact. The second level is provided
for a severe impact.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly fasten a
seat belt may increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
In addition, your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the front passenger's seat
occupation and deactivates the front
passenger's air bag under certain
conditions. For further information,
refer to "Occupant classification sys-
tem" in this chapter.

Passenger’s front air bag
When the occupant classifica-
tion system does not properly
operate, the SRS air bag warn-
ing light will illuminate on
the instrument panel. This is
because the SRS warning light
is connected with the occupant
classification system. When the
SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when turning ON
the Engine Start/Stop button,
when it remains illuminated
approximately 6 seconds after
the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON, or when it remains
illuminated while driving, have
an authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the advanced SRS air
bag system as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNING
Do not place any objects under
the front seats, as they may
interfere with the occupant clas-
sification system.
WARNING

Information
• Must read the SRS information onthe sun visor.
• The combination of the advanced air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts
provides more enhanced protection
in a frontal crash. Front air bags are
not designed to inflate in a minor
collision in which enough protection
can be provided by the pre-tension-
er seat belt.

Safety system of your vehicle
Before modifying your vehicle
due to a disability, please con-
tact the EQUUS Customer
Connect Center at 1-877-378-
8727.
WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags
instantly inflate with consider-
able force. Seat belts help occu-
pants keep the proper position
for their maximum benefits of
an air bag. Even with advanced
air bags, improperly belted and
unbelted occupants may be
severely injured when an air
bag inflates. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, air
bags and occupants' safety in
this manual. (Continued)
(Continued)
To reduce the possibilities of
serious or fatal injury and
receive the maximum safety
benefit from your restraint sys-
tem:
Never place a child in anychild restraint or booster seat
in the front seat.
ABC – Always Buckle Children in a rear seat. It is the
safest place for children of all
ages.
Front and side air bags may injure an occupant, who is
improperly positioned in the
front seats.
Move your seat as far back as possible from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
You and occupants should never sit or lean unnecessari-
ly close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned driver
and occupants may be
severely injured by inflating
air bags.
Never lean against the door or the center console – always
sit in an upright position.
Do not allow an adult occu- pant to ride in the front seat,
when the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator illumi-
nates. An air bag will not
deploy in the event of a mod-
erate or severe frontal crash.
(Continued)
WARNING

2-57
Safety system of your vehicle02
(Continued)
No objects should be placedover 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
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
Never place covers, blankets or seat warmers on the pas-
senger's seat. These may
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
Do not modify or disconnect the SRS wirings or other SRS
components.
Doing so may result in injury,
due to an accidental air bag
deployment or the deactivated
SRS.
When the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
while driving, have an author-
ized EQUUS dealer inspect
the air bag system as soon as
possible.
Air bags can be used only once – have an authorized
EQUUS dealer replace the air
bag immediately after deploy-
ment.
The SRS is designed to deploy front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe, and when the impact
angle is smaller than 30° from
the forward longitudinal axis.
In addition, air bags will inflate
only once. Seat belts must be
fastened at all times.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front air bags are notdesigned to deploy in
side/rear impacts or a rollover.
In addition, front air bags will
not deploy in a frontal crash,
when an impact severity is
below the deployment thresh-
old.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A child restraint system must
never be installed in front. An
infant or child may be severe-
ly injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in a rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger's seat. In
case that a child over the age
of 12 is seated in the front
passenger's seat, the child
must be properly fastened
and the seat should be moved
to the rearmost position.
To maximize protection and to minimize the possibility of
serious injury or death in all
types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver
should always fasten a seat
belt regardless of the air bag
installment in their seats. Do
not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to an air bag while the
vehicle is in motion.
(Continued)

The side air bags are designed to
deploy only in a certain side-impact
collision, depending on an impact
severity, an angle, a speed and a
direction. The side air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side-impact
crashes.
2-59
Safety system of your vehicle02
Do not allow occupants to lean
their heads or bodies toward
doors, to put their arms on the
doors, to stretch their arms out
of the window, or to place
objects between the doors and
the occupant, when they occu-
py the seat equipped with side
and/or curtain air bags.
WARNING
The side air bag is supplemen-tal to the seat belt system, not
a substitute. Therefore, your
seat belt must be fastened at
all times while the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy
only in a certain side impact,
which is severe enough to
cause significant injury.
For the maximum protection from side air bags and to
avoid injury by a deploying
side air bag, all occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with a seat belt properly
fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel in the 9:00-o'clock
and 3:00-o'clock position. The
passenger' arms and hands
should be placed on their
laps.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use any accessoryseat covers.
Use of a seat cover may reduce the system effects or
prevent the system operation.
Do not install any accessories over or near the side air bags.
Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (i.e. umbrella and bag) between a
door and a seat. Such objects
may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and may cause injury,
when a side air bag inflates.
To prevent inadvertent deployment of a side air bag,
which may result in personal
injury, avoid any impact on the
air bag sensor, when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
When a seat or a seat cover is damaged, have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer
because your vehicle is
equipped with side air bags
and an occupant classifica-
tion system.
