Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on levelground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach a normal operating temper-
ature.

pan (approximately 5 minutes).
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F and L. Do not overfill the engine oil.
This may damage the engine.
while adding or changing it. If
you spill out the engine oil in the
engine compartment, immedi-
ately wipe it off.
When it is near to or at L, add the
engine oil to bring it up to F. Do not
overfill it.
Use a funnel to prevent oil spillage
over the engine components.
Use only the authorized engine oil. (Refer to “Recommended lubricantsand capacities” in the chapter 8.)

Maintenance
Checking the brake fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
on a regular basis. The fluid level
should be between MAX and MIN
marks on the reservoir.
Before opening the reservoir cap to
add brake fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap to prevent
brake fluid from being contaminated.
When the level is low, add fluid near
to the MAX level. The level decreas-
es, as the vehicle drives. This is a
normal, associated with the wear-out
of the brake linings. When the fluid
level is excessively low, have the
brake system checked by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
Use only the authorized brake fluid.(Refer to “Recommended lubricantsor capacities” in the chapter 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
Do not spill the brake fluid over
the body paint. This may damage
the paint. The brake fluid, which is
exposed in the air for an extended
period of time, should not be
used, as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed
in a proper manner. Do not add
unauthorized fluid. A few drops of
mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system may
damage brake system parts.

Checking the power steering
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir on a regular basis,
after parking on a level ground. The
fluid level should be between MAX
and MIN marks on the gauge at a
normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid,
clean the area around the reservoir
cap to prevent power steering fluid
contamination.
When the level is low, add the fluid
near to the MAX level.
When the power steering system
requires frequent fluid addition, have
the vehicle inspected by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer. To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate
the vehicle for a prolonged peri-
od of time, when the power
steering fluid level is low.
Never start the engine when the reservoir tank is empty.
Pay special attention while adding the fluid. So, any dirt
does not get into the tank.
Low level of the fluid may increase the steering effort and
noise from the power steering
system.
The use of the unauthorized fluid may reduce the effects of
the power steering system and
damage it.
Use only the authorized power steer-ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommendedlubricants or capacities" in the chap-ter 8.)
Checking the power steering
hose
Check the connections for any oil
leakage, damages and twists, before
driving.
