WARNING

5-55
Driving your vehicle05
The AVSM measures a distance
from a vehicle in front with the sen-
sor, warns you of a possible collision
with a vehicle in front, and protects
you in certain hazardous situations
by giving a warning message, a
warning alarm and seatbelt vibration
(if equipped).
When the AVSM detects that anobject in front is too close from
your vehicle, or when the driver
needs to depress brake pedal or to
turn the steering wheel, the warn-
ing light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
When the AVSM senses a danger, the warning alarm will also sounds
with the seatbelt vibration.
Immediately reduce your speed.
Always check the road conditions
to prevent any danger, even when
the warning light does not illumi-
nate, the warning alarm does not
sound, or the seatbelt does not
vibrate.Brake operation
When the AVSM senses an object in front is too close, the brake sys-
tem enters into a standard mode to
promptly react against the driver's
possible depressing of the brake
pedal.
When the driver releases the accelerator after the warning, the
AVSM automatically and gently
decelerates the vehicle.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to reduce vehicle
speed, the brake assistant system
is activated to raise braking effi-
ciency.
When an object in front is away at a safe distance, and when the driv-
er depresses the accelerator or
releases the brake pedal, the brak-
ing will stop.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your driving style such as
where you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects your
fuel economy (how many miles/kilo-
meters you can drive with a
gallon/liter of fuel). To drive your vehi-
cle as economically as possible, fol-
low the below driving suggestions.
These will help you save in both the
fuel and repair expenses:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Do not make
"jackrabbit" starts or full-throttle
shifts. Maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed in
accordance with other traffic to
avoid unnecessary speed
changes. Avoid heavy traffic when-
ever possible. Always maintain a
safe distance from a vehicle in
front to avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear-out.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, in the highest gear appro-
priate for the driving conditions
especially on the highway, is one of
the most effective ways to reduce
fuel consumption.
Do not "ride" the brake pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and
also wear out the brake compo-
nents. In addition, resting your foot
on the brake pedal, while driving,
may overheat the brake, reducing
breaking effects and possibly lead-
ing a serious consequence.
Check your tire conditions. Keep them inflated to the recommended
pressure level. Under or over infla-
tion will unnecessarily tire wear-
out. Check the tire pressures at
least once a month. Make sure that the wheels are cor-
rectly aligned. Hitting a curb or
driving too fast on uneven surfaces
may distort the wheel alignment.
Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear-out and may also result in
other problems as well as greater
fuel consumption.
Keep your vehicle in good condi- tion. For the better fuel economy
and the cheaper maintenance
expenses, maintain your vehicle in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the chapter 7. When
you drive your vehicle in harsh con-
ditions, more frequent mainte-
nance is required (refer to the
chapter 7 for further information).
Keep your vehicle clean. Your vehi- cle should be kept clean and away
from any corrosive substances. It is
especially important that mud, dirt,
ice and others are not daubed
under the vehicle. This extra weight
may increase the fuel consumption
and also cause corrosion.
Avoid a heavy loading. Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle. It will improve your fuel
economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. When you wait
(not in traffic), turn OFF the engine.
Then restart the engine, when you
are ready to go.
Remember that your vehicle does not require the engine warm-up for
a long time. After turning On the
engine, run the engine for 10 to 20
seconds, before shifting the gear.
In cold weather, however, your
engine needs a slightly longer
warm-up period.

Driving your vehicle
Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is to drive too
slowly in a high gear, resulting in
the engine bucking. In this case,
shift to a lower gear. Over-revving
is racing the engine beyond its safe
limit. This can be avoided by decel-
erating to a recommended speed.
Use your air conditioning at inter- vals. The air conditioning system
operates by engine power. Thus,
your fuel economy will decline,
when turning it ON.
Opening the windows, while driv- ing at a high speed, may reduce
the fuel economy.
The fuel economy will decline in the crosswind and headwind. To
offset some of this loss, slow down
the driving speed.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for the
fuel economy and safety. Therefore,
have your vehicle inspected and
maintained by an authorized EQUUS
dealer on a regular basis. - Turning the engine OFF while
driving
Never turn the engine OFF to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not properly operate, when the
engine is turned OFF. Keep the
engine ON and downshift to an
appropriate gear for engine
braking effect. Moreover, turn-
ing OFF the ignition, while driv-
ing, may lock the steering
wheel, blocking the steer wheel
movement and causing a seri-
ous injury or death.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud and sand, take these
suggestions:
Drive cautiously and keep a longerbraking distance.
Avoid abrupt braking or steering. When your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, or sand, use the second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary spinning of the drive
wheels.
Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the
drive wheels to provide additional
traction when being stuck in ice,
snow, or mud.

- ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal,
when your vehicle is equipped
with the ABS.
WARNING
- Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission, while driving on
slippery surfaces, may cause an
accident. A sudden speed
change in driving may cause
the tires to skid. Be careful
when downshifting on a slip-
pery surface.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Rocking the vehicle
When it is necessary to rock the
vehicle to escape from snow, sand,
or mud, first move the steering wheel
from side to side to clear the front-
wheel area. Then, move the shift
lever back and forth between
R(Reverse) and any forward gears.
Do not race the engine, and avoid
unnecessary wheel spins. When
your vehicle is still stuck in after try-
ing the above, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow truck to avoid
engine overheating and transmission
damages.
A long-time rocking may overheat
the engine and damage the trans-
mission/tires.
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
i
NOTICE
- Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, espe-
cially faster than 35 mph (56
km/h). Spinning the wheels at a
high speed, while parking, may
overheat a tire and injure
passers-by.
WARNING
When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., you may
rock the vehicle to escape by
moving forwards and back-
wards. Do not attempt this,
when people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. Rocking
the vehicle may cause it to sud-
denly move forwards or back-
wards, as it becomes unstuck,
injuring nearby people or dam-
aging objects.
