Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate, when a side
impact is detected by the side impact
sensors, depending on an impact
intensity, a speed or angles.
Although the front air bags are
designed to inflate only in a frontal
collision, they also may inflate in
other types of collisions, when the
front impact sensors detect a suffi-
cient impact. Side impact and curtain
air bags are designed to inflate only
in a side impact collision, but they
may inflate in other collisions, when
the side impact sensors detect a suf-
ficient impact.When the vehicle chassis is impact-
ed by a bump or an object on a rough
road, the air bags may deploy. Be
careful to avoid inadvertent air bag
deployment, while driving on a rough
road or on a surface not designed for
the vehicle traffic.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In a collision at a low speed, air
bags may not deploy. The air bags
are designed not to deploy in such
a case, as a seat belt can provide
enough protection.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in a rear collision, because
occupants are forced to move
backwards by the impact. In this
case, inflated front air bags would
not be able to provide any addition-
al benefit.

Front air bags may not inflate in aside impact collision, because
occupants are forced to move
towards an impact direction. In this
case, inflated front air bags would
not provide additional protection.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate depending on
an impact intensity, a speed,
angles and a direction.
In an angled collision, occupants are forced to move toward an
impact direction. In this case, the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. Just before an impact, drivers tend
to heavily depress a brake pedal.
Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle, possi-
bly causing it to “under-ride” below
a vehicle with a higher ground
clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation, because the
force, which is detected by sen-
sors, may be significantly deceler-
ated in such a “under-ride” colli-
sion.
Front air bags may not inflate in a rollover, because air bag deploy-
ment would not provide protection
to occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate, when the vehicle rolls
over in a side-impact collision.

To Reset the Power Windows
When the power windows do not nor-
mally operate, the automatic power
window system must be reset as fol-
lows:
1. Press the Engine Start/Stop but-ton twice to the ON position.
2. Continue pulling up the power win- dow switch even after fully closing
the windows for one second or
more.
If the problem persists, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Automatic Reverse
When a window sensor detects any
obstacle while automatically closing
the window, the window will stop the
upward movement, and then be low-
ered by approximately 12 in (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
When the window sensor detects the
resistance while pulling up the power
window switch, the window will stop
the upward movement, and then be
lowered by approximately 1 in (2.5
cm). When the power window switch is
pulled up again within five seconds
after the window is lowered by the
automatic reverse function, this func-
tion does not operate.
Information
The automatic reverse function for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” function is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse function will not operate,
when the window is half open by oper-
ating the Power Window switch.

Make sure heads, other body
parts or other objects are not
extended from the windows,
before closing, to avoid injury
or vehicle damage.
Objects, which are less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter and
caught between the window
and the upper window frame,
may not be detected by the
automatic reverse sensor. Thus,
the window operation will not
automatically stop and be
reversed.

Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric chromic mirror automat-
ically controls the glare from the
headlamps of the vehicles behind
during the night time or low light driv-
ing conditions. The sensor mounted
in the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and automatical-
ly controls the headlamp glare from
following vehicles.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is in R
(Reverse), the mirror automatically
sets to be in the brightest mode in
order to improve the driver's
rearview. When the ECM inside the
rear view mirror operates, it will oper-
ate.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or clean cloth damp-
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
