The purpose of the SRS is to provide
greater protection to the driver and
the front passenger than being pro-
tected only by the seat belt system in
a frontal crash of a sufficient severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about occupants' seat
position, seat belt fastening and
impact severity.The seat belt buckle sensors verify
whether an occupant's seat belt is
fastened or not. These sensors con-
trol the SRS deployment with the
information, such as fastening of a
seat belt and an impact severity.
The advanced SRS controls the air
bag inflation in two levels. The first
level is provided for a moderate
impact. The second level is provided
for a severe impact.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRSCM (SRS
Control Module) controls the air bag
inflation. Failure to properly fasten a
seat belt may increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
In addition, your vehicle is equipped
with the occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger's seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the front passenger's seat
occupation and deactivates the front
passenger's air bag under certain
conditions. For further information,
refer to "Occupant classification sys-
tem" in this chapter.

Passenger’s front air bag
When the occupant classifica-
tion system does not properly
operate, the SRS air bag warn-
ing light will illuminate on
the instrument panel. This is
because the SRS warning light
is connected with the occupant
classification system. When the
SRS air bag warning light does
not illuminate when turning ON
the Engine Start/Stop button,
when it remains illuminated
approximately 6 seconds after
the Engine Start/Stop Button is
turned ON, or when it remains
illuminated while driving, have
an authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the advanced SRS air
bag system as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNING
Do not place any objects under
the front seats, as they may
interfere with the occupant clas-
sification system.

There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle mag-
nets, such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna. Body repair work on
the vehicle can also cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In
these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes. To re-cali-
brate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button formore than 9 seconds. When the
compass memory is deleted, a let-
ter "C" will appear on the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in a circle twice at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held
radiofrequency (RF) transmitters
with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security
systems, and even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-
equipped transmitters can be pro-
grammed by following the outlined
procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at:
www.homelink.com or by calling 1-
800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you programmed for use
in other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
®
buttons be erased for security pur-
poses.

Convenient features of your vehicle03
Before programming
HomeLink®to a garage door
opener or gate operator, make
sure that people and objects are
out of the way from the device
to prevent potential harm or
damage. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener
that lacks the safety stop and
reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not
meet current U.S. federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
