WARNING
Make sure there are no people
or objects around the trunk
before opening or closing the
Power Trunk. Wait until the trunk
is fully open, before loading or
unloading.
WARNING
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
Children or animals may oper-
ate the power trunk, injuring
themselves, others, or vehicle
damage.
WARNING

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)
WARNING

3-35
Convenient features of your vehicle03
(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.

There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle mag-
nets, such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna. Body repair work on
the vehicle can also cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In
these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes. To re-cali-
brate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button formore than 9 seconds. When the
compass memory is deleted, a let-
ter "C" will appear on the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in a circle twice at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held
radiofrequency (RF) transmitters
with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security
systems, and even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-
equipped transmitters can be pro-
grammed by following the outlined
procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at:
www.homelink.com or by calling 1-
800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you programmed for use
in other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
®
buttons be erased for security pur-
poses.

Convenient features of your vehicle03
Before programming
HomeLink®to a garage door
opener or gate operator, make
sure that people and objects are
out of the way from the device
to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener
that lacks the safety stop and
reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not
meet current U.S. federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
WARNING

Gate operator & Canadian
programming
During programming, your handheld
transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press the
Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless
Control System button (refer to the
steps 2 to 3 in the Programming part)
while you press and re-press
("cycle") your handheld transmitter
every two seconds until the frequen-
cy signal is learned. The indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly
after a few seconds when success-
fully trained.
Operating HomeLink
®
To operate, simply press and release
the programmed HomeLink®button.
Activation will now occur for the
trained devices (i.e. garage door
opener, gate operator, security sys-
tem entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held transmitter of the device
may also be used at any time. Reprogramming a single
HomeLink
®button
To program a device to HomeLink
®
using a HomeLink®button previous-
ly trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®button. DO NOT
release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without
releasing the HomeLink
®button,
proceed to the "Programming"
step 2.
For more questions or comments,
contact HomeLink
®at www.home-
link.comor 1-800-355-3515.
Erasing HomeLink
®buttons
An individual programming cannot
be erased respectively. However, all
three programming can be erased at
the same time by following below
steps;
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
®buttons until the indi-
cator light begins to flash after 10
seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
The Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless
Control System is now in the training
(learning) mode and can be pro-
grammed at any time by following the
appropriate steps as in the
"Programming".
