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.

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.

WARNING

Interior rearview mirrors
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to focus on the cen-
ter of the rearview through the rear
window.
Electric chromic mirror (ECM)with HomeLink®system and
compass (Type A)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Gentex Automatic-Dimming Mirror
with a Z-Nav™ Electronic Compass
Display and an Integrated
HomeLink
®Wireless Control System.
During the night-time driving, this fea-
ture automatically detects and
reduces rearview mirror glare while
the compass indicates the direction
the vehicle heads for. The HomeLink
®
Universal Transceiver allows you to
activate your garage door(s), electric
gate, home lighting, etc.

Make sure that your sight is not
obstructed. Do not pile up
objects on a rear seat, in a
trunk, or behind a head
restraint, which may interfere
with your vision through the
rear window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while
driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
WARNING

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.

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

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is indicatedin chapter 8.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
• On slopes or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the fuel fluctua-
tion in the tank.
Avoid driving with the extremely
low amount of fuel. Running out of
fuel could cause the engine to
misfire, damaging the catalytic
converter.

greater pedal pressure may be
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance only with one por-
tion of the brake systems working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
