Maintenance
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from a possible electrical
overloading damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels - two
on the driver’s side, another on the
panel bolster of the passenger's
side, and the other in the engine
compartment.
When any of your lights, acces-
sories, or controls does not operate,
check the appropriate circuit fuse.
When a fuse is out, some elements
may melt inside.
When the electrical system does not
operate, check the fuse panel on the
driver's side first.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect
the negative battery cable. Always
replace it with a fuse of the same rat-
ing. When the newly-replaced fuse
blows, there may be an electrical
problem. Avoid using any pertinent
systems. Immediately consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are to be used:
a blade type for lower amperage rat-ing, and a cartridge type and a fusiblelink for higher amperage ratings.
Information
The actual fuse, relay panels, and
labels may differ from the equipped
items.

- Fuse replacement
Never replace a fuse with the
one of a different rating.
A higher capacity fuse may cause damage or a fire.
Never use a wire or an alu- minum foil, instead of a prop-
er fuse - even as an emergent
measure. It may damage
extensive wirings and cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove a
fuse. It may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the system.
CAUTION

Maintenance
3.Pull straight out a fuse, which is suspected to be out. Use the fuse
puller provided in the panels either
on the driver’s side or the front pas-
senger’s side.
4. Check the removed fuse. When the fuse is out, replace it.
Spare fuses are provided in the
fuse panels in the front passen-
ger's side. (or in the fuse panel of
the engine compartment)
5. Install a new fuse of the same rat- ing, and tightly secure it in the
clips.
When it is loosely fit, consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
When you do not have a spare fuse,
use a fuse of the same rating from a
circuit, such as a cigarette lighter fuse,
which may not be needed to drive. When the headlamps or other electri-
cal components do not operate, but
when the fuses are not blown out,
check the fuse panel in the engine
compartment. In case that a fuse is
blown out, it must be replaced.fuse is
blown, it must be replaced.

Always set the transportation fuse
switch in the "ON" position. When
you press it OFF, some devices,
such as the audio and the digital
clock, must be reset. Also, the Smart
Key may not properly operate.
Always set the transportation
fuse switch in the "ON" position
while driving.
Do not repeatedly press the transportation fuse switch. The
fuse switch may be worn out.
