Front seat adjustment
The front seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on the doors. Before driving, adjust
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.
NOTICE

Safety system of your vehicle
Do not adjust the seat while fastening a seat belt. Moving
the seat cushion forward may
apply strong pressure on the
abdomen.
While adjusting the seat posi- tion, use extreme caution not
to caught hands or other
objects inside the seat com-
ponents.
Do not leave a cigarette lighter on the floor mat or
seat. The operation of seat
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.
CAUTION
The power seat is operable,
even when the ignition is OFF.
Therefore, children should
never be left unattended in the
vehicle.

Safety system of your vehicle
Any modifications or additions should not be done by a driver.
Such modifications or addi-
tions may make the seat belt
assembly slack, and the seat
belt assembly may not firmly
and tightly tighten.
When fastening a seat belt, be careful not to latch your seat
belt in a buckle of other seats.
It is very dangerous, and you
may not be properly protected
by the seat belt.
Do not unfasten the seat belt, or do not repeatedly fasten
and unfasten the seat belt,
while driving. This may result
in loss of control, and an acci-
dent, causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
When fastening a seat belt, make sure that it is not fas-
tened over any hard or fragile
object.
Before latching a seatbelt, make sure that there is nothing
inside a buckle, not to block the
mechanism. Otherwise, a seat
belt may not be securely fas-
tened.

Seat belt warning (for front passenger's seat)
To remind the front passenger, the
front passenger's seat belt warning
light will flash, whenever you turn ON
the ignition switch regardless of belt
fastening. When the passenger's
seat belt is unfastened, when the
vehicle drives over 6 mph (10 km/h),
and when occupant presence is
detected, the passenger's seat belt
warning light will flash until being fas-
tened.
3-point system with emergencylocking retractor
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the belt webbing out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1)
into the buckle (2). It will "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. The
seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap por-
tion of the belt is manually adjusted
so that it fits snugly around your
body. If you lean forward slowly and
comfortably, the belt will extend and
move with you. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the belt will be
locked. It will be also locked if you try
to lean forward too quickly.
Information
When a seat belt is not smoothly
stretched from the retractor, pull it
hard and release. After this, the seat
belt can be smoothly stretched.

Riding in an improper position
adversely affects the front pas-
senger's seat belt warning sys-
tem. It is important for the driv-
er to properly instruct the pas-
sengers, as in this manual.
WARNING
OVI035108N

Information
The sensor, which triggers the SRS air
bag activation, is connected with the
pretensioner seat belt. The SRS air
bag warning light on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate for approx-
imately 6 seconds, when the ignition
switch is turned ON. This will be auto-
matically turned OFF.
Even when there is not malfunc-
tion of the SRS air bag, but the
malfunction of the pre-tensioner
seat belt, the warning light will
illuminate. When the SRS air bag
warning light does not illuminate
after turning ON the ignition
switch, when it remains illuminat-
ed approximately for more than 6
seconds, or when it remains illus-
trated while driving, immediately
have an authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the pre-tensioner seat belt
and SRS air bag system.
NOTICE
i
2-27
Safety system of your vehicle02
Pre-tensioners are designedto operate only one time. After
activation, pre-tensioner seat
belts must be replaced. All
seat belts of any type should
always be replaced after a col-
lision.
The pre-tensioner seat belt assembly mechanism gets hot
while being activated. Do not
touch the pre-tensioner seat
belt assembly for several min-
utes after its activation.
Do not attempt to inspect or replace the pre-tensioner seat
belt by yourself. This must be
done by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Do not hit hard the pre-ten- sioner seat belt assemblies.
Never attempt to maintain or repair the pre-tensioner seat
belt system in any manner.
Improper handling of preten- sioner seat belt assemblies,
and failure to heed the warn-
ings not to hit, modify, inspect,
replace, maintain or repair the
pre-tensioner seat belt assem-
blies may lead to improper
operation, malfunction and
serious injury.
Always fasten a seat belt, while the vehicle is in motion.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt needs to be discarded,
contact an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
WARNING

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they pro-
duce not only a loud noise, but also
smoke and powder inside the vehi-
cle. This is normal and is a result of
the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort, while
breathing due to the contact of your
chest with both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from inhaled
smoke and powder.Open your
doors and windows as soon as
possible after air bag deployment
in order to reduce your discomfort
and prevent prolonged exposure
to the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause skin irrita-
tion (i.e. eyes, nose and throat). In
this case, immediately wash your
skin with cold water and consult a
doctor if the symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint in the front passenger's seat.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. When an air bag deploys, it
would impact the rear-facing child
restraint, causing serious or fatal
injury. In addition, do not place front-
facing child restraints in the front
passenger’s seat, either. When the
front passenger air bag inflates, it
may cause serious or fatal injury to
the child.
2-44
Safety system of your vehicle
After the air bag inflation, air-
bag related components, which
are on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, roof rails
above doors and the front seat-
backs, are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch those com-
ponents inside the air bag stor-
age right after air bag inflation.
WARNING
1JBH3051
Extremely Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing child
restraint in a seat protected
by an air bag!
Never install a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
When the front passenger air
bag inflates, it may cause seri-
ous or fatal injury.
(Continued)
WARNING

The SRS air bag warning light " "
on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds
after the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON. Soon, the SRS air bag
warning light " " turns OFF.The front air bag modules are locat-
ed inside the center of the steering
wheel, the front passenger's panel
above the glove box, and the driver’s
side knee bolster. When the SRSCM
detects sufficient impact from the
front of a vehicle, it automatically
deploys the front air bags.
During an air bag deployment, tear
seams, which are directly molded
under the pad cover, will break apart
under pressure. Opening of the cover
allows full inflation of air bags.

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.

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.
