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.

Never replace a fuse with the
one of a different rating.
A higher capacity fuse may cause damage or a fire.
Never use a wire or an alu- minum foil, instead of a prop-
er fuse - even as an emergent
measure. It may damage
extensive wirings and cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove a
fuse. It may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the system.

authorized EQUUS dealer.
When you do not have a spare fuse,
use a fuse of the same rating from a
circuit, such as a cigarette lighter fuse,
which may not be needed to drive. When the headlamps or other electri-
cal components do not operate, but
when the fuses are not blown out,
check the fuse panel in the engine
compartment. In case that a fuse is
blown out, it must be replaced.fuse is
