Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the
front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system is designed to
detect the presence of a properly-
seated front passenger and deter-
mine whether to inflate the front pas-
senger's air bag or not. The driver's
front air bag is not affected or con-
trolled by the occupant classification
system.

When an air bag deploys,there may be a loud noise with
fine dust released inside the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and not hazardous -
the air bags are packed in fine
powder. The dust released
during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irrita-
tion as well as aggravate asth-
ma for some occupants.
Thoroughly wash all exposed
skin areas with warm water
and mild soap after an acci-
dent in which the air bags
deploy.
The SRS operates, only when the ignition switch is ON.
When the SRS air bag warning
light " " does not illuminate,
and when it continuously
remains ON for more than 6
seconds after turning ON the
ignition switch or starting the
engine, the SRS does not
properly operate. In this case,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the Engine Start/Stop
Button OFF. Never remove or
replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON.
Failure to follow this warning
may cause the SRS air bag
warning light " " to illumi-
nate.
CAUTION

Main components of occupant
classification system
A detection device located underthe front passenger's seat cushion.
Electronic system to determine whether to activate the front pas-
senger's air bag (both front and
side) or not.
A warning light on the instrument panel, which displays the message
of "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" to
indicate that the front passenger's
air bag system is deactivated.
The air bag indicator on the instru- ment panel is interconnected with
the occupant classification system.
The OCS is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the pas-
senger's front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the
risk of injury or death from an inflat-
ing air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automati-
cally turned OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on
the seat, the occupant classification
sensor can detect it and cause the
air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing
the seat belt properly, should not
cause the passenger air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. For small
adults it may be turned OFF, however,
if the occupant does not sit in the seat
properly (for example, by not sitting
upright, by sitting on the edge of the
seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor
to turn the air bag OFF. Always make sure that you and all
occupants are properly seated and
fastened for the most effective pro-
tection from air bags and the seat
belts.
The OCS may not properly func-
tion, when an occupant takes an
action, which may affect the classi-
fication system. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi- tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or
center console.
(3) Sitting towards the front or the sides.
(4) Putting their legs on the dash- board or other areas, reducing
the occupant's weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly fastening the seat belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.

*1: The system judges a person as an adult based on a body size. When a smaller adult sits inthe front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as a child in accordance with a
physique and posture.
*
2: Never install a child restraint in the front passenger's seat.
*3: The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator may turn ON or OFF, when a child under age 13 (with or without child restraint) sits in the front passenger's seat. This is a normal condition.

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.
WARNING

Driver’s front air bag
OVI035039N
Driver’s knee air bag

The purpose of the SRS is to provide
greater protection to the driver and
the front passenger than being pro-
tected only by the seat belt system in
a frontal crash of a sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about occupants' seat
position, seat belt fastening and
impact severity.The seat belt buckle sensors verify
whether an occupant's seat belt is
fastened or not. These sensors con-
trol the SRS deployment with the
information, such as fastening of a
seat belt and an impact severity.
The advanced SRS controls the air
bag inflation in two levels. The first
level is provided for a moderate
impact. The second level is provided
for a severe impact.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly fasten a
seat belt may increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
In addition, your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the front passenger's seat
occupation and deactivates the front
passenger's air bag under certain
conditions. For further information,
refer to "Occupant classification sys-
tem" in this chapter.

Passenger’s front air bag
When 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 SRS warning light
is connected with the occupant
classification system. When the
SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when turning ON
the Engine Start/Stop button,
when it remains illuminated
approximately 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 advanced SRS air
bag system as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNING
Do not place any objects under
the front seats, as they may
interfere with the occupant clas-
sification system.
WARNING

2-57
Safety system of your vehicle02
(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.
