ECS (Electronic Controlled
Suspension) malfunction
warning message
When the ECS malfunction warning
message is displayed while driving,
the ECS does not properly function.
Have the system checked by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Information
• When the battery is discharged, orwhen either the SPORT button or
the vehicle height control button is
pressed repeatedly in a short time,
the ECS malfunction indicator may
illuminate to protect the system.
• When the height is adjusted repeat- edly, the height control may tem-
porarily stop due to the compressor
overheat. This is to prevent damage
to related parts. When the ECS malfunction mes-
sage is displayed with no air
inside the suspension, the vehicle
height may be very low. Thus, do
not drive the vehicle to protect it
from the projections on the sur-
face of the ground.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
EQUUS dealer by towing it and
have the system checked. You
should tow the vehicle as shown
in the picture.
When you load the vehicle onto the
tow truck, the loading angle(1)
should be smaller than 6°.

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.
