Modification to SRS compo-nents, such as a bandage
addition to the pad covers, or
other modifications to the
body structure may adversely
affect SRS performance and
result in injury.
Not only the modification of the area, where the SRS sen-
sor are installed, but also the
modification of other areas
may affect the SRS perform-
ance and result in possible
injury.
When cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft and
dry cloth, or the one soaked
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners may adversely affect
the air bag covers and prevent
its proper deployment.

Power Trunk Non-Opening orClosing Conditions:
The Power Trunk will not operate,
when driving faster than 1.8 mph
(3 km/h).
The Power Trunk is operable when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being drained, do
not operate it excessively (i.e.
more than approximately 10 times
in a consecutive manner.)
Do not modify or repair any part of the Power Trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not
operate the Power Trunk, when
the vehicle is raised up.
Otherwise, this may cause the
Power Trunk to improperly oper-
ate.
When there are substances, such as snow, on the Power Trunk, it
may not automatically open. After
removing the substances, try to
open it again.
Automatic stop and Reverse
When the trunk lid is blocked by an
object or someone’s body, while
opening or closing, the power trunk
will detect the resistance, stop the
operation, or swing open in a reverse
direction to clear the object.
However, when the resistance is
weak with a thin or soft object, or
when the trunk is slightly latched, the
Power Trunk may not detect the
resistance, and not swing open to
clear an object. In addition, when the
Power Trunk is applied with strong
force, the Power Trunk may stop its
operation and swing open in the
reverse direction.
When the Power Trunk stops its
operation and swings open in a
reverse direction more than twice in
one opening or closing, the Power
Trunk may stop at that position.
When this occurs, manually close
the trunk lid and re-operate the
Power Trunk.

Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, check the location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz- zle, you should eliminate the
static electricity potentially
built up on your body by
touching a metal part of the
vehicle with your bare hand,
keeping a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones
may potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.

(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehiclewhile refueling. You may build
up static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge
may ignite fuel vapors, caus-
ing a fire. When you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity once
again by touching a metal part
of the vehicle with your bare
hand, keeping a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
When using an approved portable fuel container, make
sure to place the container on
the ground, before refueling.
Static electricity discharged
from the container may ignite
fuel vapors, causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
When refueling, always set the shift lever in P (Park), set the
parking brake, and turn OFF
the Engine Start/Stop button.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the
engine may ignite fuel vapors,
causing a fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not use matches or alighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not overfill or "top-off" your vehicle tank, which may
cause gasoline spillage.
When a fire breaks out during refueling, stay away from the
vehicle, and immediately noti-
fy it to the gas station manag-
er, and call the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
When pressurized fuel sprays out, it may cover your clothes
or skin. This puts you at risk
of fire and burns. Always care-
fully and slowly open the fuel
cap. When the fuel vents out
from the tank, or when you
hear a hissing sound, wait
until those stop before com-
pletely opening the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap is securely closed to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an
accident.

Resetting the Sunroof
Sunroof needs to be reset if (in the
followings)
- Battery is discharged or discon-nected or the related fuse has been
