Why is an air bag not inflated in a collision?
There are certain types of accidents in which the air bag would not pro-
vide additional protection.
These include a rear impact, second/third collisions after the inflation,
as well as a low speed impact.

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
impact intensity, a speed or an
impact angle.
2-62
Safety system of your vehicle Do not hit or allow any objects to strike the areas where the
air bags or the sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, resulting
in serious personal injury or
death.
When the sensor position or angle moves out of its default
position, the air bags may
deploy, or they should
not/may not deploy when they
should, causing severe injury
or death.
Therefore, do not attempt to
modify or repair the air bag
sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Problems may arise, when the sensor moves out of its
default position due to the
deformation of the front
bumper, the vehicle body and
the B-and-C pillars, where
side impact sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Your vehicle is designed to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in a certain colli-
sion. Installing bumper
guards or replacing a bumper
with imitated or counterfeit
parts may adversely affect
your vehicle and the air bags.
WARNING
OVI035049N

Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate, when a side
impact is detected by the side impact
sensors, depending on an impact
intensity, a speed or angles.
Although the front air bags are
designed to inflate only in a frontal
collision, they also may inflate in
other types of collisions, when the
front impact sensors detect a suffi-
cient impact. Side impact and curtain
air bags are designed to inflate only
in a side impact collision, but they
may inflate in other collisions, when
the side impact sensors detect a suf-
ficient impact.When the vehicle chassis is impact-
ed by a bump or an object on a rough
road, the air bags may deploy. Be
careful to avoid inadvertent air bag
deployment, while driving on a rough
road or on a surface not designed for
the vehicle traffic.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In a collision at a low speed, air
bags may not deploy. The air bags
are designed not to deploy in such
a case, as a seat belt can provide
enough protection.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in a rear collision, because
occupants are forced to move
backwards by the impact. In this
case, inflated front air bags would
not be able to provide any addition-
al benefit.

Front air bags may not inflate in aside impact collision, because
occupants are forced to move
towards an impact direction. In this
case, inflated front air bags would
not provide additional protection.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate depending on
an impact intensity, a speed,
angles and a direction.
In an angled collision, occupants are forced to move toward an
impact direction. In this case, the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. Just before an impact, drivers tend
to heavily depress a brake pedal.
Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle, possi-
bly causing it to “under-ride” below
a vehicle with a higher ground
clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation, because the
force, which is detected by sen-
sors, may be significantly deceler-
ated in such a “under-ride” colli-
sion.
Front air bags may not inflate in a rollover, because air bag deploy-
ment would not provide protection
to occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate, when the vehicle rolls
over in a side-impact collision.

To Reset the Power Windows
When the power windows do not nor-
mally operate, the automatic power
window system must be reset as fol-
lows:
1. Press the Engine Start/Stop but-ton twice to the ON position.
2. Continue pulling up the power win- dow switch even after fully closing
the windows for one second or
more.
If the problem persists, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Automatic Reverse
When a window sensor detects any
obstacle while automatically closing
the window, the window will stop the
upward movement, and then be low-
ered by approximately 12 in (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
When the window sensor detects the
resistance while pulling up the power
window switch, the window will stop
the upward movement, and then be
lowered by approximately 1 in (2.5
cm). When the power window switch is
pulled up again within five seconds
after the window is lowered by the
automatic reverse function, this func-
tion does not operate.
Information
The automatic reverse function for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” function is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse function will not operate,
when the window is half open by oper-
ating the Power Window switch.

Make sure heads, other body
parts or other objects are not
extended from the windows,
before closing, to avoid injury
or vehicle damage.
Objects, which are less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter and
caught between the window
and the upper window frame,
may not be detected by the
automatic reverse sensor. Thus,
the window operation will not
automatically stop and be
reversed.
WARNING

Sliding the Sunroof
The Engine Start/Stop Button must
be ON, before opening or closing the
sunroof.
Momentary pressing of the sunroof
control switch to the second detent
position either forwards or back-
wards completely opens or closes
the sunroof, even when the switch is
released. To stop the sunroof at the
desired position, while the sunroof is
in motion, re-press the sunroof con-
trol lever either forwards or back-
wards. Then, release the switch.
The sunroof can open or close by
pressing the sunroof control switch
forwards and backwards to the first
detent position. However, the sunroof
opens or closes only by pressing the
sunroof control switch.
Automatic Reverse
When the sunroof detects any obsta-
cle while automatically closing, it will
moves in a reverse direction to allow
the object to be cleared.

Make sure that your sight is not
obstructed. Do not pile up
objects on a rear seat, in a
trunk, or behind a head
restraint, which may interfere
with your vision through the
rear window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while
driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
WARNING

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
The NVS®Mirror in your vehicle is
the most advanced mirror to reduce
annoying glare in the rearview mirror
in any driving situation. For more
information regarding NVS
®mirrors
and other applications, please visit
the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
Information
The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare while driving based
upon light levels detected in front of
the vehicle and from the rear of the
vehicle. These light sensors are visible
through openings in the front and rear
of the mirror case. Any object that
obstructs either light sensor will
degrade the automatic dimming con-
trol function.
Automatic-dimming function
Your mirror automatically dims the
glare upon detecting it from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you. The auto-
matic-dimming function can be con-
trolled by the Dimming ON/OFF
Button:
1. Pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds turns OFF the
automatic-dimming function,
which is indicated by the turned-
OFF green light of the Status
Indicator LED.
2. Re-pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds turns ON the
automatic-dimming function which
is indicated by the turned-ON
green light of the Status Indicator
LED.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion whenever the vehicle is started.
Z-Nav™ Compass Display
The NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is
also equipped with a Z-Nav™
Compass that shows the vehicle
Compass heading on the Display
Window in the 8 cardinals headings
(N, NE, E, SE, etc.).
Compass function
The Compass can be turned
ON/OFF and remember the last
heading information when the igni-
tion is cycled. To turn ON/OFF the
display function:
1. Press and release the button within 1 second to turn OFF the
display function.
2. Press and release the button again within 1 second to turn ON
the display back.
Additional options can be set by
pressing and holding buttons in
sequences.
There is a difference between the
magnetic north and the actual north.
The compass in the mirror can offset
this difference by knowing the
Magnetic Zone in which it is operat-
ing. This is set either by the dealer or
by the user. The operating Zone
Numbers for North America are
shown in the figure on the next page.
