Windshield washer
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray window
washer fluid on the windshield and
operate the wipers one to three
times.
Use this function when the wind-
shield is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check
the washer fluid level. If the fluid level
is not sufficient, you will need to add
authorized non-abrasive windshield
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
in the passenger side.
To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty. To prevent possible damage to
the wipers or windshield, do not
operate the wipers when the
windshield is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do
not manually attempt to move
the wipers.

Further details are provided in the
chapter 7, "Maintenance".

Driving your vehicle05
Careless driving may result in a
loss of vehicle control, possibly
leading to an accident, severe
personal injury, and death. The
driver’s primary responsibility
is to drive in the safe and legal
manner. The use of any hand-
held devices, other equipment,
or vehicle systems, which take
the driver’s eyes, attention and
focus away from the safe opera-
tion of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used in driving.
WARNINGAll passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to "Seat belts"
in chapter 2 for more informa-
tion on the proper usage.
WARNING
Always take a look around your
vehicle for any passers-by,
especially children, before
changing the shift lever to D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).

To prevent the locks from
frozen
To prevent the locks from being
frozen, spray authorized de-icing
fluid or glycerin into key openings.
When a lock opening is already cov-
ered with ice, spray authorized de-
icing fluid on the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock
freezes, try to thaw it with a heated
key. Carefully use the heated key to
avoid an injury.
Use authorized window-wash-
er anti-freezer solution in sys-
tem
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized win-
dow-washer anti-freeze solution, as
instructed on the window-washer
container. Window-washer anti-
freeze solution is available from an
authorized EQUUS dealer, and so
are the most auto parts outlets. Do
not use engine coolant or other types
of anti-freezer solution, because
these may damage the vehicle paint.
Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake may freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap-
pen, when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around/near the rear
brakes, or when the brakes are wet.
When there is the risk that your park-
ing brake may freeze, temporarily
apply it after locating the shift lever in
P(Park). Also, block the rear wheels
in advance, so the vehicle may not
roll. Then, release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice may build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in such conditions during the
severe winter, you should check
underneath the vehicle on a regular
basis to assure that moving the front
wheels and the steering components
is unobstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather condi-
tions, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment, while driving.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tire chains, tow straps,
chains, flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a win-
dow scraper, gloves, ground cloth,
coveralls and a blanket.
Do not place objects or materi-
als in the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because those may block the engine
cooling. The manufacturer is not
responsible for the damage caused
by such placement.
