Power brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with the
power-assisted brakes that automat-
ically adjust themselves in a normal
driving condition.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a
stalled engine or some other rea-
sons, you can still stop your vehicle
by depressing the brake pedal hard-
er than you do in normal driving. A
braking distance, however, will be
longer.
When the engine is OFF, the reserve
brake power becomes partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is depressed. Do not repeatedly
depress the brake pedal when the
power brake is automatically set.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain the steering
control on slippery surfaces.

Driving your vehicle05
- Brakes
Do not put your foot on the
brake pedal while driving. This
may abnormally increase the
brake temperatures, wear
down the brake lining/pad,
and increase the braking dis-
tances.
When driving down on a long or steep slope, shift to a lower
gear and avoid depressing the
brakes in a continuous man-
ner. Depressing brakes in a
continuous manner may over-
heat the brakes, resulting in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wet brakes may impair thevehicle’s ability to safely slow
down. The vehicle may also be
swerved to one side when the
wet brakes are depressed.
Lightly depress the brakes to
verify whether the brakes are
wet and show the above
symptom. Always test your
brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water.
To dry the wet brakes, lightly
depress the brakes, while
maintaining a safe driving
speed until the brake perform-
ance returns to normal.
Always confirm the positions of the brake and accelerator,
before driving. If you do not
so, you may be confused and
depress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.

Maintenance
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from a possible electrical
overloading damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels - two
on the driver’s side, another on the
panel bolster of the passenger's
side, and the other in the engine
compartment.
When any of your lights, acces-
sories, or controls does not operate,
check the appropriate circuit fuse.
When a fuse is out, some elements
may melt inside.
When the electrical system does not
operate, check the fuse panel on the
driver's side first.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect
the negative battery cable. Always
replace it with a fuse of the same rat-
ing. When the newly-replaced fuse
blows, there may be an electrical
problem. Avoid using any pertinent
systems. Immediately consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are to be used:
a blade type for lower amperage rat-ing, and a cartridge type and a fusiblelink for higher amperage ratings.
Information
The actual fuse, relay panels, and
labels may differ from the equipped
items.
