the seat position, as desired, so as to
easily control the steering wheel,
pedals and instrument-panel but-
tons.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-position
adjustment. Excessive motor
operation may damage the elec-
tric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of elec-
tric power. To prevent unneces-
sary battery drain, when the
engine is turned OFF, do not
adjust the power seat longer than
necessary.
Do not press two power seat con- trol switches or more at the same
time. Doing so may fail the electric
motor or components.

ponents.
Do not leave a cigarette lighter on the floor mat or

adjustment may leak gas out
of the lighter and cause a fire.
Use extreme caution when picking small objects trapped
under the seats or between
the seat and the center con-
sole. Your hands might be cut
or injured by the sharp edges
of the seat mechanism.
WARNING
Do not adjust the seat position,
while fastening a seat belt.
Moving the seat cushion forward
may apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.

2-21
Safety system of your vehicle02
To achieve the maximum pro-
tection of the restraint sys-
tem, the seat belts must
always be fastened whenever
the vehicle is in motion.
A seat belt is most effective, when a seatback is in the
upright position.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger's seat.
When a child over the age of
12 needs to seat in the front,
he/she must be properly belt-
ed and the seat should be set
in the rearmost position.
Never fasten the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly posi-
tioned shoulder belt may
cause serious injury in a
crash. The shoulder belt
should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
Always wear both the shoul- der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.
Avoid wearing a twisted seat belt. A twisted belt cannot
properly activate. It may even
cut through in a collision.
Make sure that a belt webbing
is straight and untwisted.
Be careful not to damage a belt webbing or other compo-
nents. When the belt webbing
or other components is dam-
aged, replace it.
WARNINGA seat belt is designed to be
fastened across the bony struc-
ture of the body. The lap portion
of the belt should be fastened
low across the front pelvis.
Fastening the lap portion of the
belt across the abdomen must
be avoided.
A seat belt should be tightly fas-
tened, in accordance with an
occupant's comfort, to provide
the protection, for which a seat
belt is designed.
Loose fastening of a seat belt
greatly reduces an occupants'
protection.
Particular care should be taken
to avoid any webbing contami-
nation with polishes, oils, chem-
icals or battery acid.
Immediately clean the webbing,
using mild soap and water. A
belt should be replaced, when
its webbing is frayed, contami-
nated or damaged. It is essen-
tial to replace the entire assem-
bly after a severe impact, even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious. A belt, of which straps
are twisted, should not be fas-
tened. Each seat belt assembly
must be used only by one occu-
pant. it is dangerous to fasten a
belt over a child being carried
on an occupant's laps.
WARNING

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.
2-48
Safety system of your vehicle
OVI035080N
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.
