While the engine is running, push the
rear portion of the button either to
warm or to cool the rear seats.
When the climate control system seat
is not needed, press OFF the button.
Each time you press the button,the air flow changes as follows:
When pressing the button for 1.5 seconds or over with the climate
control system seat ON, the seat
cooler will turn OFF.
The default setting of the climate control system seat is OFF, when
the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON.
With the climate control system seat ON, the system automatically
operates or stops in accordance
with a seat temperature.
The climate control system seat is a supplementary cooling and
warming system. Operate the
climate control system seat after
turning ON the climate control
system. Operate the climate
control seat for a prolonged
period of time without turning
ON the climate control system
may reduce performance of the
climate control system seat.
When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Such solvent may
damage the seat surface.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not spill liquid such as water
or beverages over the front seat
cushions or seatbacks.
Otherwise, the air vent holes
may be blocked and prevent the
system from working properly.
Do not leave materials, such as plastic bags or newspapers,
under the seats. The air vent
hole may not properly operate,
because the air intake is
blocked.
When the air vent hole does not operate, restart the vehicle. If a
problem persists, we recom-
mend that the system be
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before using the climate control system seat, remove the
attached sticker to the rear air
vent hole.
If not, the cooling and warming
performance may decrease.

Safety system of your vehicle
Any modifications or additions should not be done by a driver.
Such modifications or addi-
tions may make the seat belt
assembly slack, and the seat
belt assembly may not firmly
and tightly tighten.
When fastening a seat belt, be careful not to latch your seat
belt in a buckle of other seats.
It is very dangerous, and you
may not be properly protected
by the seat belt.
Do not unfasten the seat belt, or do not repeatedly fasten
and unfasten the seat belt,
while driving. This may result
in loss of control, and an acci-
dent, causing death, serious
injury, or property damage.
When fastening a seat belt, make sure that it is not fas-
tened over any hard or fragile
object.
Before latching a seatbelt, make sure that there is nothing
inside a buckle, not to block the
mechanism. Otherwise, a seat
belt may not be securely fas-
tened.

Seat belt warning (for front passenger's seat)
To remind the front passenger, the
front passenger's seat belt warning
light will flash, whenever you turn ON
the ignition switch regardless of belt
fastening. When the passenger's
seat belt is unfastened, when the
vehicle drives over 6 mph (10 km/h),
and when occupant presence is
detected, the passenger's seat belt
warning light will flash until being fas-
tened.
3-point system with emergencylocking retractor
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull the belt webbing out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1)
into the buckle (2). It will "click" when
the tab locks into the buckle. The
seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap por-
tion of the belt is manually adjusted
so that it fits snugly around your
body. If you lean forward slowly and
comfortably, the belt will extend and
move with you. If there is a sudden
stop or impact, the belt will be
locked. It will be also locked if you try
to lean forward too quickly.
Information
When a seat belt is not smoothly
stretched from the retractor, pull it
hard and release. After this, the seat
belt can be smoothly stretched.

Riding in an improper position
adversely affects the front pas-
senger's seat belt warning sys-
tem. It is important for the driv-
er to properly instruct the pas-
sengers, as in this manual.
WARNING

Height adjustment
The anchor height for the shoulder
portion of the belt can be adjusted to
one of the 4 positions for your greatest
comfort and safety.
The anchor height should be adjusted,
so the shoulder portion is fastened
over your chest and midway over the
shoulder nearest the door, not over
your neck.
To adjust the anchor height, rise up or
lower down the adjuster.
To rise up the adjuster, pull it up (1). To
lower it down, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
height. Attempt to slide up or down the
adjuster to confirm its locking.

Never fasten the shoulder
portion of the belt over your
neck or face. Improper fasten-
ing may cause serious injury
in an accident.

WARNING
(Continued)
Failure to replace a seat beltassembly after an accident
may put you in danger,
because the damaged seat
belt will not provide protec-
tion in the event of another
collision, leading to personal
injury or death. Immediately
replace your seat belts after
an accident.
The lap portion of a seat belt
should be fastened as low as
possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. When
the lap belt is fastened too high
on your waist, it may increase
injury risk in the event of a colli-
sion. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather,
one should be over and the
other under, as shown in the
illustration.
The seat belt should not be fas-
tened under the driver's left arm,
or the front passenger's right
arm.
WARNING
OVI035110N

When fastening the seat belt of the
rear center seat, an occupant should
and ALWAYS use the buckle with the
CENTER mark.
To release the seat belt:
Press the release button (1) on a
buckle. When released, the belt will
automatically retract. When it is not
released, make sure that the belt is
not twisted, and then try again.
Pre-tensioner seat belt
Your vehicle is equipped with driver's
and front passenger's pre-tensioner
seat belts. The purpose of the pre-
tensioner seat belt is to make sure
that a seat belt tightly fits over an
occupant's body in case of a frontal
collision. The pre-tensioner seat
belts will activate in a crash over a
certain scale.
When the vehicle suddenly stops, or
when an occupant abruptly lean for-
ward, the seat belt retractor locks
into position. In a certain frontal colli-
sion, the pre-tensioner will activate
and fasten the seat belt more tightly
against an occupant's body.
When the pre-tensioner senses an
excessive tension on a seat belt, the
Load Limiter of the pretensioner will
release some of the pressure.

WARNING

2-34
Safety system of your vehicleTo reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries:
Children of all ages are safer when being restrained in a
rear seat. A child, seating in
front, may be forcefully struck
with an inflating air bag. This
may result in serious or fatal
injury.
Always follow the instructions of the child restraint manufac-
turer's for installation and
usage.
Always make sure that the child seat is properly secured,
and that your child is securely
restrained in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or on your laps when
riding in a vehicle. The violent
impact in a crash may force
you miss the child from your
arms and the child may strike
against the vehicle interior.
Never fasten a single seat belt over you and a child. In a
crash, the belt may apply
sharp pressure on the child,
causing serious internal
injury.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle – not even for a
short time. The vehicle is eas-
ily heated up, resulting in seri-
ous injury of a child inside.
Even very young children may
inadvertently move the vehi-
cle, entangle themselves in a
window frame, or lock them-
selves or others inside the
vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never allow two children, orany two persons, to fasten the
same seat belt.
Children often squirm and shift their position. Never let a
child ride with the shoulder
belt under their arm or behind
their back. Always properly
seat and secure a child in a
rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand up, or kneel on a seat or a
floor mat, while the vehicle is
in motion. During a collision
or a sudden stop, the child
may be violently strike against
the vehicle interior, resulting
in serious injury.
Never use an infant carrier or a child safety seat, which
"hooks" over a seatback. It
may not provide adequate
security in an accident.
Do not operate a rear power seat, when a child seat is
installed. The power seat may
be broken.
After an accident, have an authorized EQUUS dealer
check the child restraint, seat
belt, and tether/lower
anchors.
When the space to place a child restraint is insufficient
due to the driver's seat, install
it in the right rear seat.WARNING

Setting the automatic lockingmode of a passenger seat belt
The automatic locking mode restricts
a child's movement, which compro-
mises the effects of a seat belt and a
child restraint. To secure a child
restraint, follow the below proce-
dures.
To install a child restraint system in
rear seats, follow the below instruc-
tions:
1. Place the child restraint in a seat
and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint,
following the restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions. Make sure the
seat belt webbing is untwisted.

Safety system of your vehicle
- Child seat installation
A child may be seriously injured or killed in a collision,
when the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the vehi-
cle, or when the child is not
properly secured in the child
restraint. Before installing a
child restraint, read the
instructions supplied by the
child restraint manufacturer.
When a seat belt does not operate as described in this
chapter, immediately have the
belt system checked by your
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Failure to follow the instruc- tions regarding child restraint,
which are provided in this
Owner's Manual and from a
child restraint manufacturer,
may increase the chance and
severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
If the vehicle head restraint prevents proper installation of
a child seat (as described in
the child seat system manu-
al), the head restraint of the
respective seating position
shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
