Driving your vehicle
- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes may be extremely dangerous. When, at any time, you
smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, immediately open the windows.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, the colorless, odorless gas that
may cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to
change the oil or for any other purpose. If you notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system or if you drive over something that strikes the vehicle
underneath, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Letting the engine idle in a garage, even with the garage door open, is haz-
ardous. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start
the engine and move out the vehicle.
Avoid idling the engine for a prolonged period of time with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period of time with people
inside the vehicle, idle the engine in an open area with the air control in the
(fresh) air intake mode and the fan operating at a high speed. Thus, fresh air
can be taken into the interior.
When you need to drive with the trunk lid open because of the object you carry,
make sure the followings:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control in (fresh) air intake mode, the air flow directed toward "Floor" or "Face," and the fan at a high speed.
To assure proper ventilation, clear snow, ice, leaves or other substances from
the air inlet just in front of the windshield.
WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and
parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a
vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition,
certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of compo-
nent wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
California PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil,
engine coolant, brake fluid, and
washer fluid should be checked on a
regular basis, at exact intervals.
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).
WARNING

5-6
Driving your vehicle- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
DUI (driving under the influ-
ence) is dangerous. DUI is the
number one contributor to the
highway death toll each year.
Even a small amount of alcohol
will affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Driving
under the influence of drugs is
as dangerous as or more dan-
gerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to
have a serious accident if you
drive under the influence of
alcohol or drug. After you drink
alcohol or take drugs, do not
drive. Do not ride in a passen-
ger's seat when a driver drinks
or takes drugs.
Have a designated driver in
your group or call a cab.
WARNING
When you park or pull over the vehicle with the engine
ON, be careful not to depress
the accelerator pedal for a
long period of time. It may
overheat the engine or
exhaust system and cause
fire.
When you make a sudden stop or rapidly turn the steer-
ing wheel, any loose objects
may toss about inside the
vehicle and interfere with the
pedal operation, possibly
causing an accident. Keep all
things in the vehicle safely
stored.
If you are not concentrated while driving, it may cause an
accident. Be careful when
operating controls such as
the audio or heater. It is
always the driver's responsi-
bility to be attentive to the
driving safety.
