WARNING
OVI055111N

Hill-start assist control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to slide
backwards on a steep slope, when the
driver begins to accelerate after a
stop. The HAC prevents the vehicle
from sliding backwards by automati-
cally operating the brake systems for
about 2 seconds. The brake systems
are automatically released, when the
accelerator pedal is depressed or after
about 2 seconds.
Information
• The HAC does not operate when theshift lever is in P(Park) or
N(Neutral).
• The HAC activates, even when the ESC is OFF. However, it does not
activate, when the ESC malfunc-
tions.
Good braking practices
Make sure the parking brake isreleased and that the parking
brake indicator goes OFF before
driving.
Driving through water may get the brakes wet. The brakes may also
get wet after washing the vehicle.
Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your vehicle may not quickly stop,
when the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to
slide to one side.
To dry the brake, lightly depress
the brake pedal until the braking
operation returns to normal, taking
care to keep the vehicle under con-
trol at all times. When the braking
operation does not return to nor-
mal, immediately and safely stop
the vehicle and call an authorized
EQUUS dealer for assistance.i

with the parking brake set ON,
is at risk of inadvertently mov-
ing and injuring you or others.

ing, to avoid inadvertent
movement, which may injure

lision or cause other damage.
CAUTION

8.Insert the jack handle into the jack,turn it in a clockwise direction, and
raise the vehicle until the tire just
lifts above the ground. This would
be approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure that the vehicle is
stationary without a possibility of
any movement or skid.
9.Loosen the wheel nuts and then remove them with your fingers.
Slide the wheel off the studs and
lay it on a flat ground to prevent
rolling away. To install the wheel on
the hub, pick up the spare tire, fit
the studs into the holes, and screw
them. When it is difficult, slightly tip
the wheel, fitting the top wheel hole
with its top stud. Then, shake the
wheel back and forth until the
wheel slide off other studs. 10. To reinstall a wheel, fit its hole
onto the studs, screw the wheel
nuts, and tighten them. The nuts
should be screwed with a small-
diameter end in an inward direc-
tion. Lightly jiggle the tire to
check its secure installment. If
necessary, tighten the nuts with
your fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle onto the ground by rotating the wheel nut
wrench in a counterclockwise
direction.

What to do in an emergency06
Wheels may have sharp edges.
Carefully handle them to avoid a
possible severe injury. Before
installing wheels into place,
dust off any substances from
the hub or wheel (i.e. mud, tar,
gravel, etc., which may stick
solid against the hub).
When a wheel is unsecurely or
loosely installed on the hub, the
wheel nuts may become loose,
causing loss of a wheel. Loss of
a wheel may result in loss of
vehicle control, causing a seri-
ous injury or death.
