ate, or when the headlamp
beam is isolated to the high or
low position, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.

AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting
System) (if equipped)
The AFLS uses the steering angle
and vehicle speed to widen your field
of vision by swiveling and leveling the
headlamp. Turn the knob to the
AUTO position when the engine is
running. The AFLS will operate when
the headlamp is ON. To turn OFF the
AFLS, turn the knob to the other
position. After turning the AFLS OFF,
headlamp swiveling no longer
occurs, but leveling operates contin-
uously.If the AFLS malfunction indicator illu-
minates, the AFLS does not work
properly. Drive to the nearest safe
location and restart the engine. If the
indicator continuously remains ON,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.

DRIVER'S ATTENTION
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not assist the driver nor
work properly.
The lane is not visible due tosnow, rain, stain, puddles or oth-
ers.
The exterior brightness sudden- ly changes, such as driving
through a tunnel.
The headlamp is turned OFF or weak in the night time or in a
tunnel.
It is difficult to distinguish the lane mark colors from the road.
The vehicle drives on a steep slope or a curve.
Lights, such as sunlight, street- light or lights from other vehi-
cles, reflect from the water on
the road.
The lens or windshield is stained with foreign substances.
The sensor cannot detect the lane lines because of fog, heavy
rain or heavy snow.
The surrounding temperature of the inside rear view mirror is
extremely high due to direct
sunlight.
The lane is very wide or narrow.
The lane mark is damaged or indistinct.
The shadow of median strips cast on the lane marks.
There are similar marks to lane marks.
There is a boundary structure.
The distance from a vehicle in front is very short. So, its driving
hides the lane marks in front.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or shifting a gear on a
corner, especially when a road sur-
face is wet. It is ideal to drive a cor-
ner by gently accelerating. When you
take this suggestion, the tire wear-
out will be minimized.
Driving at night
Since night-time driving is more haz-
ardous than day-time driving, here
are some important tips to remem-
ber:
Slow down a driving speed andkeep a longer safe distance from a
vehicle in front, as it may be hard-
er to see at night, especially in
areas without any street lights.
Adjust your mirror angle to reduce glares from the headlamps of other
vehicles.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed at. Any foreign sub-
stances on a headlamp and an
improperly adjusted headlamp
angle make it much harder to see
at night. Turning the headlamp ON,
while operating windshield wipers,
is mandatory in some states.
Avoid directly staring at the head- lamps of approaching vehicles.
This may temporarily blind your
vision, and take several seconds
for your eyes to readjust in the
darkness.
