Shift-lock override
When the shift lever cannot be
moved from P(Park)/N(Neutral) to R
(Reverse), while depressing the
brake pedal, keep depressing the
brake, and do the followings:
1.Carefully remove the cover (1) ofthe shift-lock access hole.
2.Insert a screwdriver into the access hole and press it.
3.Move the shift lever.
4.Immediately have your vehicle inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Good driving practices
Never move the shift lever fromP(Park)/N(Neutral) to any other
position, while depressing the
accelerator.
Never move the gearshift to P (Park), when the vehicle is in
motion.
Make sure to completely stop the vehicle before moving the shift
lever to R(Reverse)/D(Drive).
Never disengage the gear, while driving down on a slope. This may
be extremely hazardous. Always
engage the gear while driving.
Do not "ride" the brakes. This may cause overheating and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you drive down
a long slope, slow the vehicle
down, set in Sports Mode, and shift
to a lower gear. Those will help the
engine brake slow the vehicle
down.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear in sports mode.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged.
Always set the parking brake. Do not depend on the shift gear in P
(Park) to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
careful especially when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed may cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
the vehicle to go out of control.
Optimum vehicle performance and fuel economy are obtained by
smoothly depressing and releasing
the accelerator.

Do not slide down (or coast down)the vehicle on a slope out of gear.
This is extremely hazardous. Keep
the vehicle in gear at all times,
depress the brake pedal to slow
down, and then shift to a lower
gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed.
Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake
pedal, while driving, is dangerous
because it may result brake over-
heating or lose braking effects. It
also wears out the brake compo-
nents.
If a tire goes flat while driving, gen- tly depress the brake pedal. Keep
the driving direction straight ahead
while slowing down the speed.
When the speed is lowered
enough to be safe, pull off and stop
the vehicle in a safe place.
When your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, do
not let your car creep forward. To
avoid creeping forward, firmly
depress the brake pedal when
stopping the vehicle.
Be careful when parking on a slope. Firmly set the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P(Park).
When parking the vehicle on a
downward slope, steer the front
wheels sideways (into the curbs) to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
When parking the vehicle on an
upwards, turn the front wheels
sideways (away from the curb) to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If there is no curb, or if it is required
by other conditions, block the
wheels with obstacles to keep the
vehicle from rolling. Under some conditions, your park-
ing brake may freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-
ly to happen, when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes, or
when the brake is wet. When there
is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, temporarily depress the
brake pedal while locating the shift
lever(automatic transmission) in
P(Park) and block the rear wheels.
Thus, the vehicle may not roll.
Then, release the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on a slope by depressing the accelerator. This
may overheat the transmission.
Always use the brake pedal or
parking brake.

Rocking the vehicle
When it is necessary to rock the
vehicle to escape from snow, sand,
or mud, first move the steering wheel
from side to side to clear the front-
wheel area. Then, move the shift
lever back and forth between
R(Reverse) and any forward gears.
Do not race the engine, and avoid
unnecessary wheel spins. When
your vehicle is still stuck in after try-
ing the above, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow truck to avoid
engine overheating and transmission
damages.
A long-time rocking may overheat
the engine and damage the trans-
mission/tires.
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
i
NOTICE
- Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, espe-
cially faster than 35 mph (56
km/h). Spinning the wheels at a
high speed, while parking, may
overheat a tire and injure
passers-by.
WARNING
When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., you may
rock the vehicle to escape by
moving forwards and back-
wards. Do not attempt this,
when people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. Rocking
the vehicle may cause it to sud-
denly move forwards or back-
wards, as it becomes unstuck,
injuring nearby people or dam-
aging objects.
WARNING

When the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating, you may
experience a loss of power, loud
pinging, or knocking. The engine is
probably too hot. If this happens, you
should:
1.Pull off the road and stop the vehi-cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P(Park), and set the parking brake. When the
A/C is turned ON, turn it OFF.
3.When the engine coolant gushes out, or when steam comes out
from the hood, stop the engine. Do
not open the hood until the coolant
outrushing or steaming stops.
Even when there is no more
coolant outrushing, leave the
engine running and operate the
engine cooling fan. When the fan
does not operate, turn the engine
OFF.
4.Check whether the water pump drive belt is missing. When it is not,
check its tightening. When it seems
to be loose, check for any coolant
leaking from the radiator or hoses
underneath the vehicle. (When the
A/C is turned ON, cold-water drain-
ing is normal upon stopping the
vehicle.) 5.When the water pump drive belt is
broken, or when engine coolant
leaks out, immediately stop the
engine and contact the nearest
authorized EQUUS dealer for
assistance.
6.When you cannot find a cause, wait until the engine temperature
cools down. When there is serious
loss of engine coolant, carefully
add coolant into the reservoir to
bring the fluid level above the
halfway mark.
7.Be cautious and keep alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. When
finding further overheating signs,
contact an authorized EQUUS
dealer for assistance.

What to do in an emergency
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands, and clothing
away from moving parts, such
as the fan and drive belts, in
order to prevent an injury.
WARNING
Do not remove theradiator cap, when the
engine is hot. This may
blow out the engine
coolant out of the
opening and cause a
serious burn.
WARNING
Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates a leakage in the cooling
system. This should be immedi-
ately checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
