Make sure heads, other bodyparts or other objects are not
extended out of the sunroof to
avoid injury or vehicle dam-
age.
Never operate the sunroof or sunshade while driving. This
may cause loss of vehicle

WARNING
This system is to set and recall the
position memory about the driver’s
seat, the outside rearview mirrors,
the steering wheel and the HUD
(Head-Up Display) height. When the
battery is disconnected, the position
memory will be erased and the driv-
ing position memory must be re-set
in the system. When this system
does not normally operate, have the
driver position memory system
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Storing the Position Memory
1. Make sure that the shift lever is inP (Park), and the Engine Start/
Stop Button is ON.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, the out- side rearview mirrors, the steering
wheel and the HUD (Head-Up
Display) height as desired.
3. Press the SET button on the con- trol panel. There will be a beeping
sound.
4. Press one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) for 5 seconds after press-
ing the SET button. There will be
beeping sounds twice, when the
position memory is successfully
saved.

Never attempt to operate the
driver position memory system
while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting
in an accident.
WARNING
Recalling the Position Memory
1. Check that the shift lever is in P(Park) and the Engine Start/Stop
button is ON.
2. Press the memory button (1 or 2) to recall the desired position.
There will be a beeping sound.
Then, the driver’s seat, outside
rearview mirrors, steering wheel
and HUD (Head-Up Display)
height will be automatically adjust-
ed, as set in the memory.
While the pre-set position is being
recalled, pressing one of the control
buttons for the driver’s seat, the out-
side rearview mirror, or the steering
wheel will stop the movement of that
component in that position. Other
components will be continuously
adjusted, as set in the memory.
Easy Access Function
When the engine is turned OFF, and
when the driver exits from the vehi-
cle, the steering wheel moves away
from the driver, and the seat moves
backwards. After entering the vehi-
cle, the steering wheel will move
toward the driver. After turning the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ACC
position, the seat will move forwards.
You can activate or deactivate the
Easy Access Function in the User
Setting Mode. Refer to "User Setting
Mode" in this chapter.

Use caution when recalling the
position memory while sitting in
the vehicle. Immediately push
the seat position control knob,
when the seat moves too far in
any direction.
WARNING
Electronic Hydraulic Power
Steering (EHPS)
This system uses an electromotor to
assist your steering. When the
engine is turned OFF, or when the
EHPS becomes inoperative, you
may still steer the vehicle, but it
requires more effort in steering.
When you notice such a change
while steering, have the EHPS
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Do not turn the steering wheel to
the extreme right or left for five
seconds or over, while running the
engine. This may cause damage to
the EHPS motor pump.
Information
When there is a malfunction with the
EHPS motor pump, the efforts to steer
may greatly increase.
Information
When the vehicle is parked outside for
an extended period of time at a cold
temperature (below 14°F/-10°C), the
power steering may require more
efforts, after first starting the engine.
This is due to the increased fluid vis-
cosity at a cold temperature and does
not indicate a malfunction.
When this happens, depress the accel-
erator to increase the engine RPM,
until it reaches 1,500 rpm. Then, let
the engine idle for two-to-three min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
Tilt Steering/Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel angle (2)
and position (3) with the knob (1) on
the steering column. Move the steer-
ing wheel, so it points toward your
chest, not toward your face. Make
sure you can monitor the warning
lights and gauges on the instrument
cluster. After adjusting, slightly push
up and down the steering wheel to
assure that it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.

Make sure that your sight is not
obstructed. Do not pile up
objects on a rear seat, in a
trunk, or behind a head
restraint, which may interfere
with your vision through the
rear window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while
driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
WARNING
There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle mag-
nets, such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna. Body repair work on
the vehicle can also cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In
these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes. To re-cali-
brate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button formore than 9 seconds. When the
compass memory is deleted, a let-
ter "C" will appear on the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in a circle twice at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held
radiofrequency (RF) transmitters
with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security
systems, and even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-
equipped transmitters can be pro-
grammed by following the outlined
procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at:
www.homelink.com or by calling 1-
800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you programmed for use
in other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
®
buttons be erased for security pur-
poses.

Before programming
HomeLink®to a garage door
opener or gate operator, make
sure that people and objects are
out of the way from the device
to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener
that lacks the safety stop and
reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not
meet current U.S. federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
