OVI035023N
For maximum effects in case ofan accident, the median height
of a head restraint should be
adjusted to the gravity center of
an occupant’s head.
Generally, the center of gravity
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
recommended.
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 properly-
adjusted head restraint may pro-
vide protection against neck
injury.
WARNING

Forward and backward adjustment
A head restraint can be adjusted for-
ward or backwards to the desired
dent, by pulling forward or pushing
backwards the lower part of the head
restraint in directions of the arrows.
Adjust the head restraint, so it prop-
erly supports the head and neck.
Wing-out
For an occupant's comfort, the head
restraint of rear seats (excluding the
rear center seat) can curve inwards.
Armrest (if equipped)

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 vehicle02
To achieve the maximum pro-
tection of the restraint sys-
tem, the seat belts must
always be fastened whenever
the vehicle is in motion.
A seat belt is most effective, when a seatback is in the
upright position.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger's seat.
When a child over the age of
12 needs to seat in the front,
he/she must be properly belt-
ed and the seat should be set
in the rearmost position.
Never fasten the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly posi-
tioned shoulder belt may
cause serious injury in a
crash. The shoulder belt
should be positioned midway
over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
Always wear both the shoul- der portion and lap portion of
the lap/shoulder belt.
Avoid wearing a twisted seat belt. A twisted belt cannot
properly activate. It may even
cut through in a collision.
Make sure that a belt webbing
is straight and untwisted.
Be careful not to damage a belt webbing or other compo-
nents. When the belt webbing
or other components is dam-
aged, replace it.
WARNINGA seat belt is designed to be
fastened across the bony struc-
ture of the body. The lap portion
of the belt should be fastened
low across the front pelvis.
Fastening the lap portion of the
belt across the abdomen must
be avoided.
A seat belt should be tightly fas-
tened, in accordance with an
occupant's comfort, to provide
the protection, for which a seat
belt is designed.
Loose fastening of a seat belt
greatly reduces an occupants'
protection.
Particular care should be taken
to avoid any webbing contami-
nation with polishes, oils, chem-
icals or battery acid.
Immediately clean the webbing,
using mild soap and water. A
belt should be replaced, when
its webbing is frayed, contami-
nated or damaged. It is essen-
tial to replace the entire assem-
bly after a severe impact, even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious. A belt, of which straps
are twisted, should not be fas-
tened. Each seat belt assembly
must be used only by one occu-
pant. it is dangerous to fasten a
belt over a child being carried
on an occupant's laps.
