A child may be seriously injured
or killed in a collision, when the
child restraint is not properly
anchored, and when the child is
not properly restrained in the
child restraint. Always follow
the instruction of child seat
manufacturer for installation
and usage.
WARNING
- Tether strap
Never install more than one
child restraint to a single tether
anchor or to a single lower
anchor. The increased load,
caused by multiple child
restraints, may break the tether
or lower anchors, causing seri-
ous injury or death.
WARNING
- Child restraint check
Make sure that the child
restraint is well secured by
slightly pushing and pulling it in
different directions. Improperly
installed child restraints may
slip, tip over, toss about, or
break apart, causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING
- Child restraint anchors
Child restraint anchors aredesigned to withstand the
load capacity, only when a
child restraint is correctly
installed. Under no circum-
stances, should child restraint
anchors not be used for adult
seat belts, and harnessing/
storing other items and equip-
ment.
The tether strap may not prop- erly work, when it is attached
to the wrong tether anchor.

Tire and loading information
label
The label on the driver's door sill
gives the original tire size, the rec-
ommended cold tire pressure, the
seating capacity (the number of
occupants), and load weight capaci-
ty.
Vehicle capacity weight:
5 seater
904 lbs. (410 kg)
4 seater
754 lbs. (342 kg)
The maximum weight capacity
includes occupant weights and load
weights.
Seating capacity:
5 seater
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2 persons, Rear seat : 3 persons)
4 seater
Total : 4 persons (Front seat : 2 persons, Rear seat : 2 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a
driver, your vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may
be reduced based upon the weight of
all of the occupants, and the weight
of the cargo being carried.
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity:
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.

Cargo capacity:
The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants.
Steps For Determining CorrectLoad Limit -
1. Locate the statement "The com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's
placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the "XXX" amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750(5x150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail-
er, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.Information
We do not recommend using this vehi-
cle to tow a trailer.

Driving your vehicle
Certification label
The certification label is located on
right side of the driver's door sill.
This label shows the maximum
weight capacity, or called GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel, and load.
This label also tells you the maxi-
mum weight that can be supported
by the front and rear axles, called
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
To find out the actual load weight of
the front and rear axles, you need to
weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can
help you with this. Equally and even-
ly spread out the loads across the
centerline.The label will help you decide how
much loads and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
When your vehicle carries items
inside, such as suitcases, tools and
packages, those loads move as fast
as your vehicle. When stopping or
sharply turning, or if there is a crash,
those loads may throw forwards
under the influence of inertia, and
cause an injury by hitting with the
driver or an occupant.
OBH059070
- Over loading
Never exceed the GVWR or
the GAWR of your vehicle.
Overloading above those lim-
its may cause an accident or a
vehicle damage. You can cal-
culate the load weight capaci-
ty by weighing the items (or
people), before putting them
in the vehicle. Be careful not
to overload your vehicle.
Do not overload your vehicle above the GVWR, the
front/rear GAWRs or the vehi-
cle weight capacity. When
overloading, including tires,
parts may break. Even, it may
adversely affects the vehicle
handling and braking per-
formance. You may lose con-
trol and crash. Also, overload-
ing may shorten the life span
of your vehicle.
WARNING

5-81
Driving your vehicle05
Overloading may damage yourvehicle. Repairs are not covered
by your warranty. Do not over-
load your vehicle.
Heavier suspension compo- nents for higher durability may
not change the weight capacity.
Ask your dealer to help you load
your vehicle the right way.
NOTICE
Overloading your vehicle mayoverheat the tires and cause
tire failure, possibly leading to
a crash.
Overloading your vehicle may increase a stopping distance,
possibly leading to a crash.
A crash, which is resulted from poor handling, vehicle
damage, tire failure, or a
longer stopping distance, may
result in a serious injury or
death.
WARNING
- Unsecured loads
Items you carry inside your
vehicle may hit and injure an
occupant in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.
Put items in the trunk. Try toevenly spread the weight.
Never stack up items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle,
especially above the seat-
backs.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it.
WARNING

This is to guide you to load in a prop-
er manner, and to keep the load
weight under the maximum weight
capacity. Proper loading will provide
maximum vehicle performance.
Before loading your vehicle, read the
following terms and explanation for
determining your vehicle's loading
weight, based on the vehicle's speci-
fications and the certification label:
Base curb weight
This is the weight of the vehicle, only
including a full tank of fuel and all
standard equipment. This weight
excludes optional equipment, loads,
or occupants.
Vehicle curb weight
This is the weight of your new vehi-
cle, upon being delivered from a
dealer, including any optional equip-
ment.
Load weight
This is the weight of all the addition-
al items, including the loads and
optional equipment.
GAW (Gross axle weight)
This is the total weight on each
axle(front and rear), including the
vehicle curb weight and the load
weight.
GAWR
(Gross axle weight rating)
This is the maximum weight capacity
of a single axle (front or rear). This
GAWR is shown on the certification
label. The total load weight on each
axle must never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross vehicle weight)
This is the accumulated weight of the
base curb weight, the actual load
weight, and the occupants' weight.
GVWR
(Gross vehicle weight rating)
This is the maximum weight capacity
of a vehicle, including all options,
equipment, occupants and loads.
The GVWR is shown on the certifica-
tion label on the driver’s door sill.

Important - use of compactspare tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than an orig-
inal one. This tire is smaller than an
original one, and is designed for tem-
porary use only.
You should carefully drive when
a compact spare tire is in use.
The compact spare tire should
immediately be replaced with a
proper regular tire.
Driving on more than one com- pact spare tire is not recom-
mended. A compact spare tire should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).Information
Check the inflation pressure after
installing a spare tire. Adjust its pres-
sure to the recommended level, if nec-
essary.
When using a compact spare tire,
take the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should a
driving speed exceed 50 mph (80
km/h). A higher speed may dam-
age the tire.
You should drive slowly enough to avoid all hazards in accordance of
road conditions. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, may
seriously damage a compact
spare.
Any continuous driving on a spare tire may result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and a possible per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi- mum weight capacity or the load
capacity, which is detailed on a
side of a compact spare tire.

What to do in an emergency06
- Inadequate spare tire pressure
Immediately check the inflation
pressures of a spare tire after
installment. If necessary, adjust
it to the recommended pres-
sure. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” in the chapter 8.
WARNING
A compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not
drive your vehicle on this com-
pact spare at a speed over 50
mph (80 km/h). Replacement
with a proper regular tire should
immediately be done to avoid
failure of the spare tire, possibly
leading to a personal injury or
death.
WARNING

Maintenance
Tire maintenance
In addition to the proper inflation
pressure, correct wheel alignment
prevents tire abrasion. When you find
uneven tire abrasion, have the wheel
alignment checked by your EQUUS
dealer.
When replacing your tires, make
sure they are well balanced. This
increases your driving comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should be
rebalanced after being removed from
a wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and states
the fundamental tire specifications
and also provides the tire identifica-
tion number (TIN) for the safety stan-
dard certification. The TIN is to iden-
tify your tire in case of a recall.
