MIST : For a single wiping cycle,
push the lever upward and
release it with the lever in the
OFF position. The wipers will
operate continuously if the
lever is pushed upward and
held.
OFF : Wiper is not in operation. AUTO : The rain sensor located on
the upper end of the wind-
shield glass senses the
amount of rainfall and con-
trols the wiping cycle at the
proper interval. The more it
rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain
stops, the wiper stops. To
vary the speed setting, turn
the speed control knob (B).

Information
If there is a thick pile of snow or ice on
the windshield, defrost the windshield
for about 10 minutes, or until the
snow and/or ice is melted away before
using the windshield wipers to proper-
ly operate.
Information
• When you operate the wipers, if your vehicle has a problem in any
part of the wiper operation system,
the wiper may operate in the LO
mode regardless of the wiper switch
position. In this case, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer as soon as possible.
• When the engine is turned OFF, the wiper blade sometimes may move
slightly for reducing the deteriora-
tion of the windshield wipers.

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.

Before entering vehicle
• Be sure that all windows, outsidemirror(s), and outside lights are
clean.
Check the condition of the tires.
Check underneath the vehicle for any leakage sign.
Make sure there are no obstacles behind, when you intend to drive
backwards.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil,
engine coolant, brake fluid, and
washer fluid should be checked on a
regular basis, at exact intervals.
Further details are provided in the
chapter 7, "Maintenance".
Before starting
Close and lock all doors.
Check the seat position, so all con-trols are easily accessible.
Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors.
Make sure that all lights operate.
Check all gauges.
Check the operation of warning lights when the Engine Start/Stop
button is turned ON.
Release the parking brake and make sure the brake warning light
goes OFF.
For safe operation, make sure you
are familiar with your vehicle equip-
ment and operation.

Careless driving may result in a
loss of vehicle control, possibly
leading to an accident, severe
personal injury, and death. The
driver’s primary responsibility
is to drive in the safe and legal
manner. The use of any hand-
held devices, other equipment,
or vehicle systems, which take
the driver’s eyes, attention and
focus away from the safe opera-
tion of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used in driving.
WARNINGAll passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to "Seat belts"
in chapter 2 for more informa-
tion on the proper usage.

WARNING

Check the brake warning light by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). This light illumi-
nates when the parking brake is
depressed with the ignition switch in
the START or ON position.
Before driving, make sure that the
parking brake is fully released and
the brake warning light goes OFF.
When the brake warning light
remains ON even after releasing the
parking brake while engine is run-
ning, there may be a malfunction in
the brake system. Immediate atten-
tion is necessary.
If at all possible, immediately stop
driving. If not, use extreme caution
and continuously drive the vehicle
until you can reach a safe location.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The ESC system is to stabilize the
vehicle in cornering maneuvers. The
ESC monitors your steering and driv-
ing. The ESC applies to a brake of an
individual wheel and engage in the
engine management system in order
to stabilize the vehicle.
5-28
Driving your vehicle
OVI055021N
Never drive too fast or quickly
when cornering. The ESC can-
not prevent accidents under
this condition. Excessively high
speed in turning, abrupt driving
maneuvers, and hydroplaning
on a wet surface may result in
serious accidents. Only safe
and attentive driving can pre-
vent accidents, avoiding trac-
tion loss of a vehicle. Even with
the ESC equipment of your
vehicle, always follow all the
driving precautions, including
driving at a safe speed.
