If the windshield is fogged up, set in the mode or press the front
defrost button .
Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control in the air
recirculation mode. Make sure to
return to be in the (fresh) air intake
mode when the irritating dust and
gas fade away and the fresh air
intake is possible. This will keep
the driver alert and comfortable.
Air needed for the heating/cooling system is taken inside through the
grilles in front of the windshield.
Care should be taken that these
are not blocked by leaves, snow,
ice or other substances. To prevent fogging on the inside of
the windshield, set the air intake
control in the (fresh) air intake
mode, set the fan speed as
desired, turn ON the A/C, and
adjust the temperature as desired.
Air conditioning
1. Start the engine. Press the A/Cbutton.
2. Set in the mode.
3. Set the air intake control either in the (fresh) air intake mode or in
the air recirculation mode.
4. Adjust the fan speed and tempera- ture for your greatest comfort.
Information
• When using the A/C system, closelymonitor the engine temperature
gauge while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when the outside tem-
perature is high. A/C operation may
overheat the engine. Continuously
use the blower fan. However, turn
the air conditioning system OFF if
the engine temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid weather, A/C operation may
create dew condensation inside the
vehicle. Since excessive dew conden-
sation may cause damage to electri-
cal equipment, A/C should be oper-
ated only with the windows closed.

Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of the dew condensation on the
inside of the windshield by automati-
cally sensing the moisture.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or the A/C is ON.
This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.
If it is humid inside the vehicle, the
automated steps operate as follows:
If auto defogging system does not
defog the window in the step 1 (fresh
air intake mode), the steps 2 and 3
will be followed.
Step 1 : (fresh) air intake mode
Step 2 : Operating the A/C
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind- shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield The auto defogging system automat-
ically activates in certain conditions.
However, if you want to turn OFF the
auto defogging system, press the
front defroster button 4 times within 2
seconds while pressing the AUTO
button. The front defroster indicator
will flash 3 times to notify the system
cancellation. To restart the auto
defogging system, follow the proce-
dures mentioned above.
If the battery is disconnected or dis-
charged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.Information
When the A/C is turned ON and the
(fresh) air intake mode is selected by
the auto defogging system, and when
you try to turn OFF the A/C and select
the air recirculation mode, the indica-
tor will just flash 3 times, the A/C will
not be turned OFF, and the air recir-
culation mode will not be selected.
Do not remove the sensor cover
on the upper end of the driver's
side windshield. Damage to sys-
tem parts could occur and may
not be covered by your vehicle
warranty.

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
