Windshield wipers
Operate the windshield wipers as fol-
lows when the ignition switch is
turned ON.
MIST : For a single wiping cycle,
push the lever upward and
release it with the lever in the
OFF position. The wipers will
operate continuously if the
lever is pushed upward and
held.
OFF : Wiper is not in operation. AUTO : The rain sensor located on
the upper end of the wind-
shield glass senses the
amount of rainfall and con-
trols the wiping cycle at the
proper interval. The more it
rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain
stops, the wiper stops. To
vary the speed setting, turn
the speed control knob (B).
LO : Normal wiper speed
HI : Fast wiper speed
Information
If there is a thick pile of snow or ice on
the windshield, defrost the windshield
for about 10 minutes, or until the
snow and/or ice is melted away before
using the windshield wipers to proper-
ly operate.
Information
• When you operate the wipers, if your vehicle has a problem in any
part of the wiper operation system,
the wiper may operate in the LO
mode regardless of the wiper switch
position. In this case, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer as soon as possible.
• When the engine is turned OFF, the wiper blade sometimes may move
slightly for reducing the deteriora-
tion of the windshield wipers.

Auto control
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle at the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops. To vary the speed set-
ting, turn the speed control knob (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF position
when the wiper is not in use.
When the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in the AUTO
mode, use caution in the following
situations to avoid any injury to
the hands or other parts of the
body:
Do not touch the upper end ofthe windshield glass facing the
rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a damp or
wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windshield glass. When washing the vehicle, set the
wiper switch in the OFF position
to stop the auto wiper operation.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in the
AUTO mode while washing the
vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield glass.
The system parts may be dam-
aged and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.
When starting the vehicle in win-
ter, set the wiper switch in the OFF
position. Otherwise, wipers may
operate and ice may damage the
windshield wiper blades. Always
remove all snow and ice and
defrost the windshield properly
prior to operating the windshield
wipers.

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.

Do not use the washer in freez-
ing temperatures before warm-
ing the windshield with the
defrosters; the washer fluid
could be frozen on contact with
the windshield and obscure
your vision.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle05
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or shifting a gear on a
corner, especially when a road sur-
face is wet. It is ideal to drive a cor-
ner by gently accelerating. When you
take this suggestion, the tire wear-
out will be minimized.
Driving at night
Since night-time driving is more haz-
ardous than day-time driving, here
are some important tips to remem-
ber:
Slow down a driving speed andkeep a longer safe distance from a
vehicle in front, as it may be hard-
er to see at night, especially in
areas without any street lights.
Adjust your mirror angle to reduce glares from the headlamps of other
vehicles.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed at. Any foreign sub-
stances on a headlamp and an
improperly adjusted headlamp
angle make it much harder to see
at night. Turning the headlamp ON,
while operating windshield wipers,
is mandatory in some states.
Avoid directly staring at the head- lamps of approaching vehicles.
This may temporarily blind your
vision, and take several seconds
for your eyes to readjust in the
darkness.

Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads make driving
dangerous, especially when you are
not prepared for the pavement slick
from rain. Here are a few things to
consider before driving in the rain:
A heavy rainfall will make it harderto see and will increase a braking
distance. Thus, slow down a driv-
ing speed.
Keep your windshield wipers in good shape. Replace your wiper
blades, when those fail to wipe out
some parts on the windshield.
When your tires are in bad shape, quick braking on a wet surface may
cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. Make sure your tires
are in good shape.
Turn the headlamps ON to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving at a high speed through large puddles may affect your
brake systems. While driving
through puddles, slow down your
driving speed.
When your brakes are (or are sus- pected to be) wet, lightly apply
them while driving, until the brak-
ing operation returns to normal.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through a flooded area,
unless you are sure the water level is
lower than the wheel bub bottom.
Slowly drive, when driving through
any water. Keep an adequate stop-
ping distance, because your braking
systems may become wet.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times, while slowly driving.
Off-road driving
Carefully drive off the road, because
your vehicle may become damaged
by rocks or roots of trees. Check the
off-road conditions, in advance,
where you will drive.

Maintenance
Blade inspectionInformation
Hot wax in market may be used in
automatic car washes. However, it is
known to make it difficult to clean the
windshield.
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign substances may undermine the
effects of the windshield wipers.
Common contamination sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treat-
ments used in some car washes.
When the blades do not properly
wipe off, clean the window and
blades with a good-quality cleaner or
mild detergent. Then, thoroughly
wash them with clean water.
Do not use gasolines, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on
or near the wiper blades to pre-
vent damage.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer ade-
quately clean, the blades may be
worn out or cracked. Then, replace-
ment is required.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to manually move the
wipers.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
Front windshield wiper blade
For your convenience, move the
windshield wiper blades as illustrat-
ed.
Turn off the engine.
Fully raise the wipers by setting the
wiper lever in the single wiping
(MIST) position less than 20 sec-
onds.
