The SRS air bag warning light " "
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds
after the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON. Soon, the SRS air bag
warning light " " turns OFF.The front air bag modules are locat-
ed inside the center of the steering
wheel, the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, and the driver’s
side knee bolster. When the SRSCM
detects sufficient impact from the
front of a vehicle, it automatically
deploys the front air bags.
During an air bag deployment, tear
seams, which are directly molded
under the pad cover, will break apart
under pressure. Opening of the cover
allows full inflation of air bags.

Driver’s front air bag (2)

Driver's and front passenger's
air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (Air
Bag) and the seat belts in both the
driver's and front passenger's seats.
The presence of this system is indi-
cated with the letters, "SRS AIR
BAG," embossed on the air bag pad
cover on the steering wheel, the
knee bolster below the steering
wheel column and the front panel
above the glove box.
The SRS air bags are installed under
the steering wheel, the knee bolster
below the steering wheel column and
the front panel above the glove box.
2-54
Safety system of your vehicleWhen the occupant classifica-
tion system does not properly
operate, the SRS air bag warn-
ing light will illuminate on
the instrument panel. This is
because the front passenger's
air bag is connected with the
occupant classification system.
When there is a malfunction of
the occupant classification sys-
tem, the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator will not illumi-
nate, and the passenger's front
air bag may inflate in a frontal
crash even without any occu-
pant in the seat. When the SRS
air bag warning light does not
illuminate when turning ON the
Engine Start/Stop button, when
it remains illuminated approxi-
mately 6 seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is
turned ON, or when it remains
illuminated while driving, have
an authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the occupant classifica-
tion system and the SRS air bag
system as soon as possible.

(Continued)
No objects should be placedover or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front panel above the glove
box, because such an object
may cause harm in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
Never place covers, blankets or seat warmers on the pas-
senger's seat. These may
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
Do not modify or disconnect the SRS wirings or other SRS
components.
Doing so may result in injury,
due to an accidental air bag
deployment or the deactivated
SRS.
When the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
while driving, have an author-
ized EQUUS dealer inspect
the air bag system as soon as
possible.
Air bags can be used only once – have an authorized
EQUUS dealer replace the air
bag immediately after deploy-
ment.
The SRS is designed to deploy front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe, and when the impact
angle is smaller than 30° from
the forward longitudinal axis.
In addition, air bags will inflate
only once. Seat belts must be
fastened at all times.
(Continued)(Continued)
Front air bags are notdesigned to deploy in
side/rear impacts or a rollover.
In addition, front air bags will
not deploy in a frontal crash,
when an impact severity is
below the deployment thresh-
old.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A child restraint system must
never be installed in front. An
infant or child may be severe-
ly injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in a rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger's seat. In
case that a child over the age
of 12 is seated in the front
passenger's seat, the child
must be properly fastened
and the seat should be moved
to the rearmost position.
To maximize protection and to minimize the possibility of
serious injury or death in all
types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver
should always fasten a seat
belt regardless of the air bag
installment in their seats. Do
not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to an air bag while the
vehicle is in motion.
(Continued)

Air bags may not inflate, when avehicle collides with objects such
as utility poles or trees, where the
impact point is concentrated and
the collision energy is absorbed by
the vehicle.
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance
free and there are no parts you can
safely maintain by yourself. In case
that the SRS air bag warning light
" " does not illuminate when turn-
ing ON the Engine Start/Stop button,
or when continuously remains ON,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
The SRS system, the steering wheel,
the front panel, the front seats and
the roof rails must be installed,
repaired, maintained or removed
only by an authorized EQUUS deal-
er. Improper SRS modification may
result in serious personal injury.
2-65
Safety system of your vehicle02
OVI035055N
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.

WARNING

Additional safety precautions
All occupants should sit in anupright position, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts fastened
and their feet rested on the floor.
Occupants should not take an
inappropriate seating position,
while the vehicle is moving. An
unfastened occupant may strike
against the vehicle interior, against
other occupants, or out of the vehi-
cle, in a crash or emergency stop.
Each seat belt is designed to
restrain only one occupant.
When more than one person fas-
ten the same seat belt, they may
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
Do not put any accessories on
seat belts. Devices, which claims
to improve occupants' comfort,
may reduce the protection of a seat
belt and increase the chance of
serious injury in a crash.
Occupants should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your laps or in your mouth may
result in injuries, when an air bag
inflates.
Keep occupants away from the
air bags. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats
with their seat belts fastened and
their feet rested on the floor. When
the occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be
injured if the air bags inflate.
Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front or side impact air bag
covers could interfere with the
proper operation of the air bags.

Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front panel above the glove
box, because such an object
may cause harm in a crash,
which is severe enough to
inflate the air bags.
After the air bags inflate, those must be replaced by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Do not modify or disconnect SRS wiring and other compo-
nents. Doing so may result in
injury, due to inadvertent air
bag inflation or the deactivat-
ed air bag system.
When components of the air bag system are to be discard-
ed, or when the vehicle must
be scrapped, certain safety
precautions must be
observed. An authorized
EQUUS dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions and procedures may
increase the risk of personal
injury.
When your vehicle is flooded and the floor mats are soaked,
you should not attempt to
start the engine. Have the
vehicle towed to an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.

Use caution when recalling the
position memory while sitting in
the vehicle. Immediately push
the seat position control knob,
when the seat moves too far in
any direction.
WARNING

Electronic Hydraulic Power
Steering (EHPS)
This system uses an electromotor to
assist your steering. When the
engine is turned OFF, or when the
EHPS becomes inoperative, you
may still steer the vehicle, but it
requires more effort in steering.
When you notice such a change
while steering, have the EHPS
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Do not turn the steering wheel to
the extreme right or left for five
seconds or over, while running the
engine. This may cause damage to
the EHPS motor pump.
Information
When there is a malfunction with the
EHPS motor pump, the efforts to steer
may greatly increase.
Information
When the vehicle is parked outside for
an extended period of time at a cold
temperature (below 14°F/-10°C), the
power steering may require more
efforts, after first starting the engine.
This is due to the increased fluid vis-
cosity at a cold temperature and does
not indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, depress the accel-
erator to increase the engine RPM,
until it reaches 1,500 rpm. Then, let
the engine idle for two-to-three min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
Tilt Steering/Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3) with the knob (1) on
the steering column. Move the steer-
ing wheel, so it points toward your
chest, not toward your face. Make
sure you can monitor the warning
lights and gauges on the instrument
cluster. After adjusting, slightly push
up and down the steering wheel to
assure that it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.
