Ventilation
1. Set in the mode.
2. Set the air intake control in the(fresh) air intake mode.
3. Set the temperature, as desired.
4. Set the fan speed, as desired.
Heating
1. Set in the mode.
2. Set the air intake control in the (fresh) air intake mode.
3. Set the temperature, as desired.
4. Set the fan speed, as desired.
5. In order to get dehumidified heat- ing, turn ON the A/C.
If the windshield is fogged up, set in the mode or press the front
defrost button .
Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control in the air
recirculation mode. Make sure to
return to be in the (fresh) air intake
mode when the irritating dust and
gas fade away and the fresh air
intake is possible. This will keep
the driver alert and comfortable.
Air needed for the heating/cooling system is taken inside through the
grilles in front of the windshield.
Care should be taken that these
are not blocked by leaves, snow,
ice or other substances. To prevent fogging on the inside of
the windshield, set the air intake
control in the (fresh) air intake
mode, set the fan speed as
desired, turn ON the A/C, and
adjust the temperature as desired.
Air conditioning
1. Start the engine. Press the A/Cbutton.
2. Set in the mode.
3. Set the air intake control either in the (fresh) air intake mode or in
the air recirculation mode.
4. Adjust the fan speed and tempera- ture for your greatest comfort.
Information
• When using the A/C system, closelymonitor the engine temperature
gauge while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when the outside tem-
perature is high. A/C operation may
overheat the engine. Continuously
use the blower fan. However, turn
the air conditioning system OFF if
the engine temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid weather, A/C operation may
create dew condensation inside the
vehicle. Since excessive dew conden-
sation may cause damage to electri-
cal equipment, A/C should be oper-
ated only with the windows closed.

Air conditioning system operation
tips
When the vehicle is parked underthe direct sunlight in hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to expel the hot air inside from the
vehicle.
To reduce the dew condensation on the inside of the windows on
rainy or humid days, lower the
humidity inside the vehicle by
operating the A/C system.
During the A/C operation, you may occasionally notice a slight
change in the engine speed, as
the A/C compressor cycles. This is
a normal condition.
Test the A/C system every month only for a few minutes to maximize
the system performance.
After the inside temperature becomes sufficiently cool, change
the air intake control from the air
recirculation mode to the (fresh)
air intake mode.
When operating the A/C system, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) from the
passenger side of the vehicle. This
does not indicate a system failure.
The air recirculation mode of the A/C provides the maximum cool-
ing. However, a prolonged period
of the A/C operation in this mode
may make the air stale inside the
vehicle.
While operating the A/C system, you may occasionally notice the
dew condensation because of the
rapid cooling process and humid
air intake. This does not mean
there is not a system failure.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter is
installed behind the glove box to filter
out dust or other pollutants that come
into the vehicle from the outside
through the heating and air condi-
tioning systems.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air intake volume may decrease,
resulting in the dew condensation
inside the windshield even when set-
ting in the (fresh) air intake mode. In
this case, have the climate control air
filter replaced by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Information
• Replace the filter every 15,000 miles(24,000 km) or once a year. If the car
has been driven in severe conditions
such as dusty or rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are
required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, have the system checked
by an authorized EQUUS dealer.

Cool and warm box
(if equipped)
To open the box, pull up the lever(1).
If you press the BOX button (2) once,
the indicator will illuminate in blue
and then it will keep your drinks cool.
If you press the BOX button (2)
again, the indicator color will be
changed to amber and then it will
keep your drinks warm.
To stop operating, press the BOX
button (2) again. The indicator will be
turned OFF. It takes about 5 minutes
to swift from the warming mode to
the cooling mode or vice versa.
There are partitions in the box to fix
drink bottles. You can remove the
partitions for larger size bottles. Be
careful not to damage the partitions. When operating in the cooling
mode, and when the drink is hot,
the system takes a long time to
cool the drink. To use the cool-
ing mode efficiently, cool down
the hot drink at the room tem-
perature before putting it in the
box.
When operating in the warming mode, and when the drink is
cold, it takes a long time to warm
the drink. To use the warming
mode efficiently, warm up the
cold drink at the room tempera-
ture before putting it in the box.
If the cover is not securely closed, the efficiency will be
lowered with frost formation.
Always close the cover securely.
If you force to close the cover when drink bottles are not cor-
rectly put inside, it may damage
the cover.
Because the temperature near the box bottom is very low, make
sure that frost does not form
inside the drink bottle.
Securely put the cap on the bottle when you put the bottle in the
box.
Do not put sharp or any other object except drinks in the box. It
may damage the box.

OVI045188N
Have the system maintained
and repaired by an authorized
EQUUS dealer. Inappropriate
repair may damage the system,
resulting in a fire or injury.
WARNING

5-74
Driving your vehicle
An AutoSock, which is in the wrong size or is improperly
installed, may damage brake
lines, suspension, body and
wheels of your vehicle.
Stop driving and retighten the AutoSock, whenever there are
snapping sounds between the
vehicle and the AutoSock.
Use high quality ethylene gly-
col coolant
The cooling system of your vehicle is
filled with the high-quality ethylene
glycol coolant when being delivered.
It is the only type of coolant that your
vehicle is filled with, because it pre-
vents corrosion of the cooling sys-
tem, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Refill the cooling
system in accordance with your
maintenance schedule in the chapter
7. Before winter, check your coolant
to assure that the freezing point is
sufficiently lower than the expected
winter temperature.
Check battery and cables
The winter temperature increases
the battery consumption. Inspect the
battery and cables, as described in
the chapter 7. The battery charging
level can be checked by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer or in a service
station.
Change to "winter weight" oil,
if necessary
In some regions during the cold win-
ter, it is recommended to use the
"winter weight" oil with lower viscosi-
ty. For further information about this,
refer to the chapter 8. When you can-
not be sure about a type of winter
weight oil, consult an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs and, if nec-
essary, replace them. Also check all
ignition wirings and components for
any cracks, wear-out, and damage.
NOTICE
- Chain installation
When installing the AutoSock,
park the vehicle on level ground
away from other vehicles. Press
ON the Hazard Warning flasher
and place a warning triangle
behind your vehicle, if available.
Place the shift lever in P(Park),
set the parking brake and turn
OFF the engine, before
installing the AutoSock.
WARNING
- Tire chains
The use of the AutoSock may
adversely affect vehicle han-
dling.
Do not drive faster than the lower of the two - 20 mph (30
km/h) and the AutoSock manu-
facturer’s recommended
speed limit.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and
other road hazards, which may
bounce the vehicle.
Avoid turning sharply or lock- ing the wheel brake.
