Lumbar support (for driver’s seat)
The lumbar support can be adjusted
by pressing the lumbar support switch
on the side of the driver’s seat. Press
the front portion of the switch (1) to
increase support, or press the rear
portion (2) to decrease support.

Head Restraint
The driver’s and front passenger’s
seats are equipped with head
restraints for their safety and comfort.
The head restraints not only provide
comfort for the driver and front pas-
senger, but also protect their heads
and necks in the event of a collision.

For maximum effects in caseof an accident, the median
height of a head restraint
should be adjusted to the
gravity center of the occu-
pant’s head.
Generally, the center of gravi-
ty of most people’s head is
located at the top of their
eyes. Also, adjust the head
restraint as close to your head
as possible. For this reason,
the use of a cushion, which
holds the body away from the
seatback, is not recommend-
ed.
Do not drive the vehicle with a head restraint removed,
because severe injury may
occur to an occupant in the
event of an accident. A prop-
erly-adjusted head restraint
may provide protection
against neck injury.
Do not adjust the driver's head restraint, while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
WARNING

Adjusting a head restraint forward
and backwards
A head restraint may be adjusted in a
direction of arrows by pulling the
lower part of the head restraint either
forwards or backwards. Adjust a
head restraint, so it properly sup-
ports the head and neck.
Adjusting the head restraint up and
down
Pull up the control switch to raise the
head restraint, or pull it down to
lower the head restraint. Release the
switch, once the head restraint is
adjusted as desired.If you recline the seatback
towards the front with the head
restraint and seat cushion raised,
the head restraint may come in
contact with the sunvisor or other
parts of the vehicle.
Removal
To remove the head restraint:
1. Recline the seatback (2) by press-
ing the recliner control switch (1).
2. Raise the head restraint to the highest by pressing up the switch
(3). Then, take off the head
restraint (4).

Reinstall
To reinstall a head restraint:
1. Raise a head restraint to the high-est by pressing up the switch (1).
2. Put the poles of the head restraint (2) into the holes. Then, pull down
the switch (3) until the head
restraint lowers to the lowest.
3. To securely install the head restraint, raise and lower the head
restraint 2 or 3 times by pressing
the switch.
4. Recline the seatback (5) by press- ing the recliner control switch (4).

restraint from the incorrect height,
other than from the highest. Do not

head restraint.
NOTICE

When a head restraint is not securely installed, a head
restraint may not normally
and actively operate. When
reinstalling a head restraint,
securely latch it, as instructed
in the procedures.
Always confirm that a head restraint is fully latched in the
right position, after rein-
stalling it.
Do not operate the vehicle, when a head restraint is
removed, as severe injury to
an occupant may occur in the
event of an accident. A head
restraint may provide protec-
tion against neck injuries
when properly adjusted.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to take a
seat, of which a head restraint is
removed.
CAUTION

Electronic active head restraint
The electronic active head restraint
is designed to automatically adjust
its position forwards and upwards,
when a rear impact is detected. This
helps to prevent the driver’s and front
passenger’s heads from moving
backwards and thus helps minimize
neck injuries.
The electronic active head
restraint is a safety device to
reduce injury in a rear impact. Do
not intentionally hit or pull the
head restraint.
Climate control system seat (if equipped)
This system cools or warms the front
seats by blowing air through small
vent holes both on the seat cushions
and on seatbacks.
While the engine is running, press
the rear portion of the button to cool
or warm the driver’s or the front pas-
senger’s seats.
When the operation of the climate
system seat is unnecessary, 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 ON, the climate
control system seat will be turned
OFF.
The default setting of the climate control system seat resets 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 seatis 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.
Do not spill liquid such as water or beverages over the front seat
cushions and 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.
Seatback pocket
The seatback pockets are located on
the back of the driver's and the front
passenger’s seats.

object inside the seatback
pockets. In an accident, it may
fall out from the pocket and
injure an occupant.
CAUTION
For proper operation of the
occupant classification system:
Do not put any items cumula- tively weighing over 2.2 lbs.
(1kg) inside the seatback
pockets.

WARNING

Rear seat adjustment
The rear seat position can be adjust-
ed by pressing the control switches
on doors.
The power seat is operated byelectric motors. Pause the motor
operation after each seat-posi-
tion adjustment. Excessive
motor operation may damage
the electric equipment.
The operation of a power seat consumes a large amount of
electric power. To prevent
unnecessary battery drain,
when the engine is turned OFF,
do not adjust the power seat
longer than necessary.
Do not press two power seat control switches or more at the
same time. Doing so may fail the
electric motor or components. Do not operate the rear power
seat, when a child restraint is
installed.
