Connect cables in the numerical
order, and then disconnect them in
the reverse order.
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous,
when incorrectly done. Therefore, to
avoid any harm to yourself or dam-
ages to the vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions. When
you do not fully understand the
instructions, we strongly recommend
to contact a competent technician or
to tow your vehicle for jump starting.
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
The 12-volt starting motor, ignition
system, and other electrical parts
may be damaged when using a 24-
volt power supply. (There are two
types of jumper systems; a 12-volt
motor generator set or a 24-volt
motor generator set.)

- Battery
Never attempt to check the bat-
tery electrolyte level, as this
may disrupt or explode the bat-
tery, causing a serious injury.
WARNING
- Battery
• Keep the battery away from any flames or sparks. The bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas,
which may explode upon
being exposed to flame or
sparks. When you neglect this
warning, a serious personal
injury and vehicle damage
may occur! When you do not
fully understand these
instructions, find the qualified
assistance. Your battery con-
tains sulfuric acids, which is
poisonous and highly corro-
sive. When jump starting,
wear protective glasses and
be careful not to expose those
acids to yourself, your cloth-
ing or even the vehicle itself.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle, when the dis-
charged battery is frozen or
when the electrolyte level is
low. This may disrupt or
explode the battery.
WARNING

Jump starting procedure
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the trunk
compartment. However, when you
jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the engine com-
partment.
1.Make sure the booster battery is12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2.When the booster battery is in another vehicle, separate the two
vehicles apart.
3.Turn OFF all unnecessary electri- cal systems.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence as shown in the
illustration of the previous page.
First connect one of the jumper
cable ends to the positive terminal
of the jumper terminal (1), and then
connect the other end to the posi-
tive terminal on the booster battery
(2). Proceed to connect one of the
other jumper cable ends to the
negative terminal of the booster
battery (3), then the other end to
the negative terminal of the jumper
terminal (4). Clear the jump cables
away from any movable parts or
other battery terminals, when jump
starting.
Keep the jumper cables away from
any others except the correct bat-
tery terminal connections and the
correct grounding connections. Do
not apply unnecessary forces on
the battery when making connec-
tions. - Battery cables
When jump starting the dis-
charged battery in the trunk com-
partment, do not connect the
jumper cable between the nega-
tive terminal of the booster battery
and the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. This may
cause the discharged battery to
overheat, crack, or release the
acids.
Connect the jumper cable
between the negative terminal of
the booster battery and a solid,
stationary or metallic point often
discharges the battery.
5.First, start the engine of the vehicle
with the booster battery, over 2,000
rpm. Then, start your engine with
the discharged battery.
6.Turn your engine ON for at least 20 minutes either in the idling mode or
the driving mode. Otherwise, your
discharged battery is not
recharged enough to re-start the
vehicle.
When the cause of your battery dis-charging is not apparent, have yourvehicle checked by an authorizedEQUUS dealer.
Push-starting
A vehicle equipped with automatic
transmission cannot be push-start-
ed. Follow the instructions in "Jump
starting" of this chapter.

What to do in an emergency
Removable towing hook
(if equipped)
1.Open the trunk, and take the tow-ing hooks out from the tool case.
2.Open the cover by pressing the lower part on the front or rear
bumper.
3.Install the towing hook by rotating it in a clockwise wise until it is
securely installed.
4.After use, remove the towing hook and close the cover.
Emergency towing
If necessary, we recommend tow-
ing your vehicle by an authorized
EQUUS dealer or a commercial
tow truck service.
When towing service is unavailable
in an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using a cable
or chain secured to the emergency
towing hook under the front (or the
rear) part of the vehicle. Use extreme
caution when towing the vehicle. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
the direction and operate the brakes.

- Battery dangers
Always carefully follow
the below instructions,
when handling a battery.
Keep cigarettes lits, sparks, or all other
flames away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is high- ly combustible, always
exists inside the battery,
and may explode upon
being ignited.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children, as
it contains highly corro-
sive SULFURIC ACID. Do
not allow the battery
acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothes or the
vehicle paint.
When electrolyte getsinto your eyes, immedi-
ately flush your eyes
with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get
medical attention. When
electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash
the contacted area. When
you feel pain or burning
sensation, immediately
get medical attention.

Maintenance When your vehicle is not drivenfor a long period of time at a low
temperature, remove the battery
and keep it indoors.
The power trunk is not com-
pletely closed, when the battery
is removed. When you remove
the battery, refer to "Power
trunk" in the chapter 3.
Always fully charge the battery to prevent a case damage at a
low temperature.
When unauthorized electronic devices are connected with the
battery, it may discharge the bat-
tery. Never connect unautho-
rized devices.
NOTICE
(Continued)
Wear eye protectionwhen charging the bat-
tery or working some-
where near it. Always
provide proper ventila-
tion when working in an
enclosed space.
An inappropriately dis- posed battery may be
harmful to the environ-
ment and human health.
Dispose the battery in
accordance with your
local law(s) or regula-
tions.
When lifting up the battery in a plastic case, putting exces-
sive pressure on the case may
leak the battery acid, resulting
in a personal injury. Lift up the
battery case by holding the
both sides of it.

Tire care
For the better maintenance, safety,
and fuel economy, you must always
maintain the recommended tire infla-
tion pressures, and follow the load
limits and weight distribution recom-
mendation.
Recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressures
The tire pressure (including the
spare) should be measured, when it
is cold. A “cold tire” means the vehi-
cle does not drive for the last 3 hours
or is driven shorter than 1 mile (1.6
km).
The recommended pressure must be
maintained for the best driving, han-
dling, and the minimum tire wear-out.
For the information about the recom-
mended inflation pressure, refer to
“Tire and wheels” in the chapter 8.
All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) are specified on the label
attached to the central pillar of the
driver's door.
