Loss of a Smart Key
Three Smart Keys can be registered
at maximum to a single vehicle,
including a Card-type Smart Key.
When you happen to lose your Smart
Key, you should immediately take the
vehicle and the remaining keys to
your authorized EQUUS dealer, or
tow the vehicle, if necessary.
Smart key precautions
The Smart Key will not operate,when any of the followings occurs:
- The Smart Key is close to radio transmitters such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which may
interfere with normal operation
of the Smart Key.
- The Smart Key is near to a mobile two-way radio system or
a mobile phone.
- Another vehicle’s Smart Key is being operated close to your
vehicle.
When the Smart Key does not nor- mally operate, use the mechanical
key to lock/unlock a door and con-
tact an authorized EQUUS dealer.
When the Smart Key is in close proximity to a mobile phone, the
signal may be blocked by the nor-
mal signals of your mobile phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active, such as mak-
ing/receiving calls, text messag-
ing, or sending/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the Smart Key and
your mobile phone in the same
pants or the jacket pocket. Always
try to maintain an adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Record your key number
The key code number is stamped or
printed on the code tag attached to
the key set. When you lose your
keys, this number will enable an
authorized EQUUS dealer to easily
duplicate the keys. Remove the key
code tag and store it in a safe place.
Also, record the key code number
and keep it in a safe and handy
place, but not inside the vehicle.
Immobilizer system
The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. When a key
of the wrong code (or other devices)
is used, the engine fuel system is
disabled. After turning ON the
Engine Start/Stop button, the
Immobilizer System briefly operates,
and then goes OFF. When the indica-
tor flashes, the system does not rec-
ognize the Smart Key code.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
to turn OFF, and then re-press the
Engine Start/Stop button to turn ON.
The system may not recognize your
Smart Key code, when another
immobilizer key or other metal object
(i.e. key chain) is near the Smart Key.
The engine may not start, because
the transponder signal is interrupted
by a metal.
When the system does not repeated-
ly recognize the Smart Key code,
contact your EQUUS dealer.

tion does not operate.

or vehicle damage.
Objects, which are less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter and

(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.

Sliding the Sunroof
The Engine Start/Stop Button must
be ON, before opening or closing the
sunroof.
Momentary pressing of the sunroof
control switch to the second detent
position either forwards or back-
wards completely opens or closes
the sunroof, even when the switch is
released. To stop the sunroof at the
desired position, while the sunroof is
in motion, re-press the sunroof con-
trol lever either forwards or back-
wards. Then, release the switch.
The sunroof can open or close by
pressing the sunroof control switch
forwards and backwards to the first
detent position. However, the sunroof
opens or closes only by pressing the
sunroof control switch.
Automatic Reverse
When the sunroof detects any obsta-
cle while automatically closing, it will
moves in a reverse direction to allow
the object to be cleared.
