Rear air outlet (F)
The air flow of the rear air outlets is controlled by the front climate control system, and the air is delivered through the air duct of the front doors. If the
door is open or not securely closed, the air flow to the rear air outlet can be
improperly delivered. Make sure the front doors are closed completely.
The air flow from the rear air outlet may be weaker than the one from instru- ment panel air outlet due to the long air duct of the front doors.

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.

In the event of brake failure
When service brakes fail to operate
while driving, you can make an
emergency stop by setting the park-
ing brake. The braking distance,
however, will become longer than
normal.
Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with disc
brakes. When your brake pads are
worn down and new pads are
required, you will hear a high-pitched
warning sound from the front or rear
brakes. You may hear this beeping
sound or it may sound when the
brake pedal is depressed.
Please remember that some driving
conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
To prevent costly brake repairs,do not drive continuously with
the worn-down brake pads.
Always replace brake pads in a set of a complete front and rear
axle.
NOTICE
5-18
Driving your vehicle
- Parking brake
Setting the parking brake while
driving at a normal speed may
cause a sudden loss of vehicle
control. If you must set the
parking brake to stop, set it with
great caution.
WARNING
- Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound
indicates that your vehicle
should be repaired. If you
ignore this audible warning
sound, you will eventually lose
braking performance, which
may lead to a serious accident.
