Electronic active head restraint
The electronic active head restraint
is designed to automatically adjust
its position forwards and upwards,
when a rear impact is detected. This
helps to prevent the driver’s and front
passenger’s heads from moving
backwards and thus helps minimize
neck injuries.
The electronic active head
restraint is a safety device to
reduce injury in a rear impact. Do
not intentionally hit or pull the
head restraint.
Climate control system seat (if equipped)
This system cools or warms the front
seats by blowing air through small
vent holes both on the seat cushions
and on seatbacks.
While the engine is running, press
the rear portion of the button to cool
or warm the driver’s or the front pas-
senger’s seats.
When the operation of the climate
system seat is unnecessary, press
OFF the button.
Each time you press the button,
the air flow changes as follows:
When pressing the button for 1.5 seconds or over with the climate
control system ON, the climate
control system seat will be turned
OFF.
The default setting of the climate control system seat resets is OFF,
when the Engine Start/Stop Button
is turned ON.
With the climate control system seat ON, the system automatically
operates or stops in accordance
with a seat temperature.

Rear seat adjustment
The rear seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on doors.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-posi-
tion adjustment. Excessive
motor operation may damage
the electric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of
electric power. To prevent
unnecessary battery drain,
when the engine is turned OFF,
do not adjust the power seat
longer than necessary.
Do not press two power seat control switches or more at the
same time. Doing so may fail the
electric motor or components. Do not operate the rear power
seat, when a child restraint is
installed.
NOTICE
NOTICE
2-11
Safety system of your vehicle02
While adjusting the seat posi-
tion, use extreme caution not to
caught hands or other objects
inside the seat components.
Do not adjust the seat while fas-
tening a seat belt. Moving the
seat cushion forward may apply
strong pressure on the
abdomen.
CAUTION
The power seat is operable even
after turning OFF the Engine
Start/Stop button. Therefore,
children should never be left
unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING

While the engine is running, push the
rear portion of the button either to
warm or to cool the rear seats.
When the climate control system seat
is not needed, press OFF the button.
Each time you press the button,the air flow changes as follows:
When pressing the button for 1.5 seconds or over with the climate
control system seat ON, the seat
cooler will turn OFF.
The default setting of the climate control system seat is OFF, when
the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON.
With the climate control system seat ON, the system automatically
operates or stops in accordance
with a seat temperature.
The climate control system seat is a supplementary cooling and
warming system. Operate the
climate control system seat after
turning ON the climate control
system. Operate the climate
control seat for a prolonged
period of time without turning
ON the climate control system
may reduce performance of the
climate control system seat.
When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Such solvent may
damage the seat surface.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not spill liquid such as water
or beverages over the front seat
cushions or seatbacks.
Otherwise, the air vent holes
may be blocked and prevent the
system from working properly.
Do not leave materials, such as plastic bags or newspapers,
under the seats. The air vent
hole may not properly operate,
because the air intake is
blocked.
When the air vent hole does not operate, restart the vehicle. If a
problem persists, we recom-
mend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before using the climate control system seat, remove the
attached sticker to the rear air
vent hole.
If not, the cooling and warming
performance may decrease.

How the air bag system oper-
ates
Air bags activate (able to inflate ifnecessary) only when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON or in the
START position.
Air bags inflate in the event of a severe frontal or side collision in
order to protect occupants from
serious physical injury.
There is no single speed, at which air bags inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon a collision
severity and collision direction.
These two factors mainly deter-
mine whether the sensors produce
an electronic deployment/inflation
signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors, including a driv-
ing speed, impact angles, vehicle
density, vehicle stiffness or an
object, which your vehicle collides
with. Beyond those mentioned
above, there are more determining
factors.
The front air bags completely inflates and then deflates in an
instant. It is virtually impossible for
you to see the air bags inflating
during an accident.
It is much more likely that you sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hang-
ing out of their storage compart-
ments after the collision.
To help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is extremely fast, because
a collision instantly requires to
inflate the air bag between an
occupant and the vehicle struc-
tures, before the occupant strikes
with the vehicle interior. This instant inflation reduces the
risk of serious or life-threatening
injury in a severe collision. So, this
fast speed is a necessary part of
air bag design.
However, air bag inflation may also
cause injury, such as facial abra-
sions, bruises and broken bones,
because the inflation speed also
causes the air bags to expand with
a great deal of force.
There are even some circum- stances, under which the air bag
may cause fatal injury, especial-
ly when an occupant is posi-
tioned excessively close to the
air bag.
2-43
Safety system of your vehicle02
To avoid severe personalinjury or death caused by
deploying air bags in a colli-
sion, the driver should sit as
far back from the steering
wheel air bag as possible (at
least 10 inches (250 mm)
away). The front passenger
should always sit in the rear-
most position.
Air bags instantly inflate in the event of a collision, and an
occupant may be injured by
the expanding force, when he
or she sits in an inappropriate
position.
Air bag inflation may cause injury, normally including
facial or bodily abrasions,
injuries from broken glasses
or burns by the air bag infla-
tion gas.
WARNING

SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. Driver’s knee air bag module
11. “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”indicator (Front passenger’s seat
only)
12. Occupant classification system (Front passenger’s seat only)
13. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors
14. Anchor pre-tensioner assembly
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON to determine
if a crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.

(Continued)
When a child is seated in rear seats (not in the rear center
seat) equipped with side/cur-
tain air bags, make sure to
install the child restraint as far
away from the door as possi-
ble, and securely lock the
child restraint in position.
Inflation of side/curtain air
bags may cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.
OVI035116N

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.

ditions occurs, this indicates a
SRS malfunction. Have an
authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
The light does not turn ON,
right after turning ON the igni-
tion.
The light remains illuminated after approximately 6 sec-
onds.

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.
Failure to follow this warning
may cause the SRS air bag
warning light " " to illumi-
nate.
