WARNING
Make sure there are no people
or objects around the trunk
before opening or closing the

is fully open, before loading or
unloading.
WARNING
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
Children or animals may oper-

damage.
WARNING

Power Trunk Non-Opening orClosing Conditions:
The Power Trunk will not operate,
when driving faster than 1.8 mph
(3 km/h).
The Power Trunk is operable when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being drained, do
not operate it excessively (i.e.
more than approximately 10 times
in a consecutive manner.)
Do not modify or repair any part of the Power Trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not
operate the Power Trunk, when
the vehicle is raised up.
Otherwise, this may cause the
Power Trunk to improperly oper-
ate.
When there are substances, such as snow, on the Power Trunk, it
may not automatically open. After
removing the substances, try to
open it again.
Automatic stop and Reverse
When the trunk lid is blocked by an
object or someone’s body, while
opening or closing, the power trunk
will detect the resistance, stop the
operation, or swing open in a reverse
direction to clear the object.
However, when the resistance is
weak with a thin or soft object, or
when the trunk is slightly latched, the
Power Trunk may not detect the
resistance, and not swing open to
clear an object. In addition, when the
Power Trunk is applied with strong
force, the Power Trunk may stop its
operation and swing open in the
reverse direction.
When the Power Trunk stops its
operation and swings open in a
reverse direction more than twice in
one opening or closing, the Power
Trunk may stop at that position.
When this occurs, manually close
the trunk lid and re-operate the
Power Trunk.

To Reset the Power Trunk
When the battery is discharged or
disconnected, or when the related
fuse is replaced or disconnected,
reset the Power Trunk as follows:
1. Set the shift lever in P(Park).
2. Manually close the trunk.
When the Power Trunk does not
properly operate after following the
above procedures, have the system
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Trunk Lid Control Button
When the Trunk Lid Control button is
ON (depressed), the power trunk can
be controlled with the Power Trunk
Main Control button, Power Trunk
Open/Close buttons, and the Smart
Key. When this trunk lid control button
is OFF (not depressed), the Power
Trunk operates with the mechanical
key inside the Smart Key only.
Information
Once the trunk lid control button sets
OFF, the automatic opening function
of Smart Trunk system (if equipped)
will be also deactivated.
Even though the trunk lid control but-
ton is OFF (not depressed), the trunk
still swings open upwards after being
manually open by more than 10
degrees from the fully closed posi-
tion with mechanical force. In addi-
tion, when the trunk is manually
closed to the secondary latch posi-
tion, the trunk will be electrically
closed to the fully latched position.

Emergency Trunk Safety
Release

pushing the trunk lid upwards.
NOTICE

OVI045019N
You and your passengersmust be aware of the location
of the Emergency Trunk
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked inside.
NEVER allow anyone to sit inside the trunk at any time.
When the trunk is slightly or
fully latched, and when the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death may
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or exposure to
a cold temperature. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous
location in the event of a
crash, because it is not a pro-
tected space, but a vehicle's
crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and the Smart Key
should be kept away from
children. Parents should
instruct children about the
danger of playing in the trunk.
Use the Emergency Trunk Safety Release lever for emer-
gencies only.
WARNING
Always keep the Trunk LidControl button OFF (not
depressed), if not in use. A
child's unintentional opera-
tion may result serious injury
or death.
Make sure heads, other body parts or other obstacles are
safely out of the way before
operating the Power Trunk.
