This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was travel- ing.
These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identi-
fying data routinely acquired dur-
ing a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

6What to do in an emergency7Maintenance

Occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
occupant classification system in the
front passenger's seat. The occupant
classification system is designed to
detect the presence of a properly-
seated front passenger and deter-
mine whether to inflate the front pas-
senger's air bag or not. The driver's
front air bag is not affected or con-
trolled by the occupant classification
system.
2-48
Safety system of your vehicle
OVI035080N
When an air bag deploys,there may be a loud noise with
fine dust released inside the
vehicle. These conditions are
normal and not hazardous -
the air bags are packed in fine
powder. The dust released
during air bag deployment
may cause skin or eye irrita-
tion as well as aggravate asth-
ma for some occupants.
Thoroughly wash all exposed
skin areas with warm water
and mild soap after an acci-
dent in which the air bags
deploy.
The SRS operates, only when the ignition switch is ON.
When the SRS air bag warning
light " " does not illuminate,
and when it continuously
remains ON for more than 6
seconds after turning ON the
ignition switch or starting the
engine, the SRS does not
properly operate. In this case,
have your vehicle immediately
inspected by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal,
turn the Engine Start/Stop
Button OFF. Never remove or
replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON.
Failure to follow this warning
may cause the SRS air bag
warning light " " to illumi-
nate.
CAUTION

2-50
Safety system of your vehicle
*1: The system judges a person as an adult based on a body size. When a smaller adult sits inthe front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as a child in accordance with a
physique and posture.
*
2: Never install a child restraint in the front passenger's seat.
*3: The PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator may turn ON or OFF, when a child under age 13 (with or without child restraint) sits in the front passenger's seat. This is a normal condition.

2-53
Safety system of your vehicle02
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant
classification system, never
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat. A
deploying air bag may forcefully
strike a child, resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. Any child
age 12 and under should ride in
a rear seat. Children too big for
a child restraint should use the
available lap/shoulder belts. No
matter what type of a crash
occurs, children of all ages are
safer, when restrained in a rear
seat.
When the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illumi-
nates with an adult's occupa-
tion in the front passenger's
seat, he/she sits properly (sit-
ting in an upright position,
and sitting on the center of
the seat cushion with their
seat belt fastened, legs com-
fortably extended and their
feet on the floor), have that
person sit in a rear seat.
Do not modify or replace the front passenger's seat. Do not
place or attach any items, such
as a blanket or seat heater, on
the front passenger's seat.
This may adversely affect the
occupant classification sys-
tem.
When the weight load is changed in the front passen-
ger's seat, the PASSENGER
"AIR BAG OFF" indicator may
flash ON and OFF for a few sec-
onds, enabling and disabling
the front passenger's air bag.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not sit over a sharp object,such as a tool, in the front
passenger's seat. This may
adversely affect the occupant
classification system.
Do not use an accessory seat cover over the front passen-
ger's seat.
Accident statistics show that children are safer, when
restrained in a rear than in the
front. It is recommended that
all child restraints be secured
in a rear seat, including a rear-
facing infant seat, a forward-
facing child seat and a boost-
er seat
Air bags can be used only once – have an authorized
EQUUS dealer replace the air
bag immediately after a
deployment.
A tiny adult's incorrect seat- ing (i.e. excessively reclining,
leaning toward the door or the
center console, or slanting
forward) may cause a condi-
tion where the advanced front
passenger's air bag system
senses less weight than occu-
pant's the actual weight (when
properly sitting in an upright
position, and sitting on the
center of the seat cushion
with their seat belt fastened,
legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor).
This condition may result in
misclassification of an occu-
pant and illumination of the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator.WARNING

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.
2-55
Safety system of your vehicle02
OVI035041N
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.
WARNING

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
impact intensity, a speed or an
impact angle.
2-62
Safety system of your vehicle Do not hit or allow any objects to strike the areas where the
air bags or the sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, resulting
in serious personal injury or
death.
When the sensor position or angle moves out of its default
position, the air bags may
deploy, or they should
not/may not deploy when they
should, causing severe injury
or death.
Therefore, do not attempt to
modify or repair the air bag
sensors. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Problems may arise, when the sensor moves out of its
default position due to the
deformation of the front
bumper, the vehicle body and
the B-and-C pillars, where
side impact sensors are
installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Your vehicle is designed to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag(s) in a certain colli-
sion. Installing bumper
guards or replacing a bumper
with imitated or counterfeit
parts may adversely affect
your vehicle and the air bags.
