Battery recharging by battery
charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
When the battery is discharged ina short period of time (possibly
because the headlamps or interior
lights remain on, while the vehicle
is not in use), slowly recharge it
(trickle) for 10 hours.
When the battery is gradually dis- charged due to high electric load,
while the vehicle is in use,
recharge it at 20-30A for 2 hours.
Battery recharging by vehicle
After jump-starting from a good bat-
tery, run the engine for 20-30 min-
utes in either the idle or driving
modes, before turning off the engine.
Your vehicle may not restart, when
the engine is shortly turned off with-
out having an adequate recharging
time.
- Recharging battery
When recharging the battery,
follow the below precautions:
The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in
a well-ventilated area.
Keep cigarette lits, sparks, or flames away from the battery.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Keep paying attention to thebattery condition, while
recharging. Stop or slow the
recharging rate, when the bat-
tery gas violently leaks (boil-
ing),or when an electrolyte
temperature exceeds 120°F
(49°C).
Wear the proper eye protection, while watching the battery
recharging conditions.
Disconnect the battery charger in the following order.
1. Turn off the main switch of the battery charger.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery ter-
minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery ter-
minal.
WARNING
Before maintaining orrecharging the battery, turn
off all accessories and stop
the engine.
The negative battery cable must be disconnected first, or
be connected last.
Operation related to the bat- tery should be done by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
WARNING

Maintenance
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from a possible electrical
overloading damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels - two
on the driver’s side, another on the
panel bolster of the passenger's
side, and the other in the engine
compartment.
When any of your lights, acces-
sories, or controls does not operate,
check the appropriate circuit fuse.
When a fuse is out, some elements
may melt inside.
When the electrical system does not
operate, check the fuse panel on the
driver's side first.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect
the negative battery cable. Always
replace it with a fuse of the same rat-
ing. When the newly-replaced fuse
blows, there may be an electrical
problem. Avoid using any pertinent
systems. Immediately consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are to be used:
a blade type for lower amperage rat-ing, and a cartridge type and a fusiblelink for higher amperage ratings.
Information
The actual fuse, relay panels, and
labels may differ from the equipped
items.

- Fuse replacement
Never replace a fuse with the
one of a different rating.
A higher capacity fuse may cause damage or a fire.
Never use a wire or an alu- minum foil, instead of a prop-
er fuse - even as an emergent
measure. It may damage
extensive wirings and cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove a
fuse. It may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the system.

Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
Make sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with a new one of the
same wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to a fuse or an
electric wiring system.
When you are not equipped with
necessary tools, the appropriate
bulbs and the expertise, consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer. In many
cases, it is difficult to replace vehi-
cle light bulbs, because some parts
of the vehicle must be disassem-
bled before getting to the bulb. This
is especially true when disassem-
bling to replace the headlamp
bulb(s). Removing/installing the
headlamp assembly may damage
your vehicle.
Information
After heavy rain or vehicle washing,
headlamp and taillight lenses may
appear to be frosty. This is caused by
the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside. This is
similar to the dew condensation on
your windows inside while raining.
This does not indicate a problem with
your vehicle. When water penetrates
into the lamp circuitry, have the vehi-
cle checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.

Information
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance in comparison to halogen bulbs.
HID lamps are estimated to last twice
as long as halogen bulbs, or longer, by
the manufacturer, depending on the
usage hours. HID lamps needs to be
replaced at some point within the
vehicle life. Frequent turning the
headlamps ON and OFF shortens the
HID lamps life. HID lamps do not
blow out in the same manner as halo-
gen incandescent lamps. When a
headlamp blows out after a period of
operation, the lamp light gradually
fades away after being turned ON.
Even when the lamp is turned ON by
turning ON the switch, it needs to be
replaced. The HID lamp components
are more complex than the ones of
conventional halogen bulbs. Thus, the
repairing costs are more expensive.
Headlight (bulb type), front turnsignal, position, side markerand fog light bulbs
When a bulb is out, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.

bulbs to avoid scratches and
abrasions. If the bulbs are lit,
avoid contact with liquids.
Never touch the glass with bare hands. Any remaining oil
may cause the bulb to over-
heat and explode upon being
lit.
When a bulb is damaged or cracked, immediately replace
it. Then, carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection while replacing a bulb. If hot, cool
down the bulb before han-
dling it.

Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all the warn-
ings and cautions on the label.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure wash-
ers, make sure to maintain suffi-
cient distance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive
pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with
a high pressure washer. Shock
applied from high pressure water
may cause the device to not oper-
ate normally.
Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be dam-
aged if they come into contact with
high pressure water.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To protect your vehicle’s paint from
rust and deterioration, thoroughly
wash the vehicle at least once a
month with lukewarm or cold water.
After each off-road driving, you
should wash the vehicle. Pay special
attention to removing any salty and
muddy substances. Make sure the
drain holes on the lower door edges
and on the rocker panels are kept
clear and clean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollutants and similar
deposits damage your vehicle’s fin-
ish, if not immediately removed.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits. A mild soap, which is
safe for a painted surface, may be
used.
After soaping, thoroughly rinse the
vehicle body with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on
the finish.
• Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot
water. Do not wash the vehicle
when it is under direct sun-
light, or when its body is
warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may penetrate
into the windows and wet the
interior.
To prevent damage to plastic parts and lamps, do not wash
the vehicle with chemical sol-
vents or strong detergents.
CAUTION
- Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brake operations to check
whether it is affected by water.
When the braking performance
is deteriorated, dry the brakes
by lightly applying them and
driving forward at a slow speed.
WARNING

Maintenance07
Bright-metal maintenance
Use a tar remover to remove roadtar and insects, not scraping or
using a sharp object.
To protect a bright metal surface from corrosion, apply a coat of wax
or chrome preservative, or polish
the surface.
In winter or in coastal areas, apply a bright metal part with a heavy
coat of wax or preservative. If nec-
essary, coat the part with non-cor-
rosive petroleum jelly or other pro-
tective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials, which are used
to remove ice, snow or dusts, may
accumulate across the vehicle
underbody. When these materials
are not promptly removed, rusting
process may accelerate across the
underbody, such as the fuel lines,
frame, floor pan and exhaust system,
regardless of the rust-protection
treatment.
Thoroughly wash the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after driving off a road, or after the
winter season. Pay special attention
to the underbody areas to find any
mud or dirt. Remaining road dirt or
grime across the vehicle underbody
does more harm than good. The
lower edges of doors, rocker panels,
and frame members have drain
holes, which should not be clogged
with dirt; clogging in these areas may
cause rusting.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner,polishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum wheels.
They may scratch or damage the
finish.
Clean the wheel, while it is cool.
Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and thoroughly rinse
with water. Also, always clean the
wheels after driving on a salted
road. This prevents corrosion.
Avoid washing the wheels with an automatic high-speed washing
brush.
Do not use any alkaline or acid detergent. It may damage and cor-
rode the aluminum wheels coated
with a clear protective finish.
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes by slowly applying
them to check whether they are
affected by water. When braking
performance is impaired, dry
the brakes by lightly applying
them while driving forward at a
slow speed.
