❈ The actual shape may differ from the illustration.

When the ABS warning light illu-minates and remains ON, your
vehicle may have a problem with
the ABS. In this case, however,
your brake system is normally
operable.
The ABS warning light will stay ON for approximately 3 seconds
after the ignition switch is ON.
Then, the ABS will perform self-
diagnosis, and if everything is
normal, the light will go OFF. If
the light stays ON, your vehicle
may have a problem with the
ABS. Immediately contact an
authorized EQUUS dealer. When continuously depressing
brakes, while driving on a road
of poor traction, such as an icy
road, the ABS will be continu-
ously active, and the ABS warn-
ing light will illuminate. Pull over
the vehicle in a safe place and
stop the engine.
When restart the engine, and then the ABS warning light goes OFF,
your ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, your vehicle may have
a problem with the ABS.
Immediately contact an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly, and
the ABS warning light may be turned
ON. This happens because of the low
battery voltage. It does not indicate
the ABS malfunction.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Recharge the battery before drivingthe vehicle.

When the engine does not start,
do not push or pull the car to
start it. This may result in a col-
lision or cause other damage.
CAUTION

Connect cables in the numerical
order, and then disconnect them in
the reverse order.
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous,
when incorrectly done. Therefore, to
avoid any harm to yourself or dam-
ages to the vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions. When
you do not fully understand the
instructions, we strongly recommend
to contact a competent technician or
to tow your vehicle for jump starting.
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
The 12-volt starting motor, ignition
system, and other electrical parts
may be damaged when using a 24-
volt power supply. (There are two
types of jumper systems; a 12-volt
motor generator set or a 24-volt
motor generator set.)

- Battery
Never attempt to check the bat-
tery electrolyte level, as this
may disrupt or explode the bat-
tery, causing a serious injury.
WARNING
- Battery
• Keep the battery away from any flames or sparks. The bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas,
which may explode upon
being exposed to flame or
sparks. When you neglect this
warning, a serious personal
injury and vehicle damage
may occur! When you do not
fully understand these
instructions, find the qualified
assistance. Your battery con-
tains sulfuric acids, which is
poisonous and highly corro-
sive. When jump starting,
wear protective glasses and
be careful not to expose those
acids to yourself, your cloth-
ing or even the vehicle itself.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle, when the dis-
charged battery is frozen or
when the electrolyte level is
low. This may disrupt or
explode the battery.
WARNING

Jump starting procedure
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
1.Make sure the booster battery is12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2.When the booster battery is in another vehicle, separate the two
vehicles apart.
3.Turn OFF all unnecessary electri- cal systems.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence as shown in the
illustration of the previous page.
First connect one of the jumper
cable ends to the positive terminal
of the jumper terminal (1), and then
connect the other end to the posi-
tive terminal on the booster battery
(2). Proceed to connect one of the
other jumper cable ends to the
negative terminal of the booster
battery (3), then the other end to
the negative terminal of the jumper
terminal (4). Clear the jump cables
away from any movable parts or
other battery terminals, when jump
starting.
Keep the jumper cables away from
any others except the correct bat-
tery terminal connections and the
correct grounding connections. Do
not apply unnecessary forces on
the battery when making connec-
tions. - Battery cables
When jump starting the dis-
charged battery in the trunk com-
partment, do not connect the
jumper cable between the nega-
tive terminal of the booster battery
and the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. This may
cause the discharged battery to
overheat, crack, or release the
acids.
Connect the jumper cable
between the negative terminal of
the booster battery and a solid,
stationary or metallic point often
discharges the battery.
5.First, start the engine of the vehicle
with the booster battery, over 2,000
rpm. Then, start your engine with
the discharged battery.
6.Turn your engine ON for at least 20 minutes either in the idling mode or
the driving mode. Otherwise, your
discharged battery is not
recharged enough to re-start the
vehicle.
When the cause of your battery dis-charging is not apparent, have yourvehicle checked by an authorizedEQUUS dealer.
Push-starting
A vehicle equipped with automatic
transmission cannot be push-start-
ed. Follow the instructions in "Jump
starting" of this chapter.

Maintenance07
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.
