Driving your vehicle
An AutoSock, which is in the wrong size or is improperly
installed, may damage brake
lines, suspension, body and
wheels of your vehicle.
Stop driving and retighten the AutoSock, whenever there are
snapping sounds between the
vehicle and the AutoSock.
Use high quality ethylene gly-
col coolant
The cooling system of your vehicle is
filled with the high-quality ethylene
glycol coolant when being delivered.
It is the only type of coolant that your
vehicle is filled with, because it pre-
vents corrosion of the cooling sys-
tem, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Refill the cooling
system in accordance with your
maintenance schedule in the chapter
7. Before winter, check your coolant
to assure that the freezing point is
sufficiently lower than the expected
winter temperature.
Check battery and cables
The winter temperature increases
the battery consumption. Inspect the
battery and cables, as described in
the chapter 7. The battery charging
level can be checked by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer or in a service
station.
Change to "winter weight" oil,
if necessary
In some regions during the cold win-
ter, it is recommended to use the
"winter weight" oil with lower viscosi-
ty. For further information about this,
refer to the chapter 8. When you can-
not be sure about a type of winter
weight oil, consult an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs and, if nec-
essary, replace them. Also check all
ignition wirings and components for
any cracks, wear-out, and damage.
NOTICE
- Chain installation
When installing the AutoSock,
park the vehicle on level ground
away from other vehicles. Press
ON the Hazard Warning flasher
and place a warning triangle
behind your vehicle, if available.
Place the shift lever in P(Park),
set the parking brake and turn
OFF the engine, before
installing the AutoSock.
WARNING
- Tire chains
The use of the AutoSock may
adversely affect vehicle han-
dling.
Do not drive faster than the lower of the two - 20 mph (30
km/h) and the AutoSock manu-
facturer’s recommended
speed limit.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and
other road hazards, which may
bounce the vehicle.
Avoid turning sharply or lock- ing the wheel brake.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
OVI065004N
- Changing tires
Never attempt to change tires
in the traffic lanes of a road or
highway.
Always drive the vehicle com- pletely off the road or onto the
shoulder before changing a
tire. The jack should be used
on a level and firm ground.
When you cannot find this
level and firm place off the
road, call a towing service
company for assistance.
Always check the jack direc- tion - in the correct front and
rear positions. Never use the
bumper or any other parts of
the vehicle for additional jack-
ing-up support.
The vehicle may roll off the jack, causing a serious injury
or death. Never place any part
of a person's body under-
neath a vehicle, while jacking
up the vehicle; use vehicle
support stands.
Do not start or run the engine, while jacking up the vehicle.
Do not allow anyone to remain inside, while jacking up the
vehicle.
Keep all children in a safe place away from the road and
from the vehicle to be jacked
up.

Maintenance
Interior care
Interior general precautions
Do not use chemicals, such as per-
fume, cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand
cleaner, and air freshener, inside the
vehicle, because they may damage
or discolor the interior. When one of
the above materials contacts the
interior part, immediately wipe them
off. Refer to the vinyl-cleaning
instructions for the proper cleaning
procedure.
Cleaning the upholstery andinterior trim
Vinyl
Dust the vinyl off with a whisk broom
or vacuum cleaner. Clean a vinyl sur-
face with a vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Dust the fabric off with a whisk
broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean it
with a mild soap, recommended for
upholstery or carpets. Immediately
remove a stain with a fabric spot
cleaner. When a stain is not immedi-
ately removed, the stain may perma-
nently remain, and its color is
changed. Also, its fire-resistance
capacity is reduced, when the mate-
rial is not properly maintained.
Unauthorized cleaner or incorrect
cleaning procedures may impair
the fabric surface and the fire-
resistant capacity.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder beltwebbing
Clean the belt webbing with a mild
soap, recommended for cleaning
upholstery or carpet. Follow any
instructions of the soap. Do not
bleach or re-dye the webbing, as the
webbing surface may deteriorate.
Cleaning the interior windowglass
When the inner window surface
becomes fogged (possibly covered
with oily, greasy or waxy film), they
should be cleaned with a glass
cleaner. Follow any directions of the
glass cleaner.
Do not scrape or scratch the inner
surfaces of the rear windows. This
may damage the defroster grid of
the rear windows.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Never allow water or other liq-
uids to come in contact with
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as
this may damage them.
When cleaning leather prod- ucts (i.e. steering wheel and
seats), use a neutral detergent
or a low-alcohol solution.
When using a solution, which
is rich in alcohol, acid or alka-
line, the leather color may
fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
