Height adjustment
The anchor height for the shoulder
portion of the belt can be adjusted to
one of the 4 positions for your greatest
comfort and safety.
The anchor height should be adjusted,
so the shoulder portion is fastened
over your chest and midway over the
shoulder nearest the door, not over
your neck.
To adjust the anchor height, rise up or
lower down the adjuster.
To rise up the adjuster, pull it up (1). To
lower it down, push it down (3) while
pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
height. Attempt to slide up or down the
adjuster to confirm its locking.

Front seat
Make sure that the shoulderbelt anchor is securely locked
at an appropriate height.
Never fasten the shoulder
portion of the belt over your
neck or face. Improper fasten-
ing may cause serious injury
in an accident.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Failure to replace a seat beltassembly after an accident
may put you in danger,
because the damaged seat
belt will not provide protec-
tion in the event of another
collision, leading to personal
injury or death. Immediately
replace your seat belts after
an accident.
The lap portion of a seat belt
should be fastened as low as
possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. When
the lap belt is fastened too high
on your waist, it may increase
injury risk in the event of a colli-
sion. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather,
one should be over and the
other under, as shown in the
illustration.
The seat belt should not be fas-
tened under the driver's left arm,
or the front passenger's right
arm.

SRS components and functions
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
10. Driver’s knee air bag module
11. “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”indicator (Front passenger’s seat
only)
12. Occupant classification system (Front passenger’s seat only)
13. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckle sensors
14. Anchor pre-tensioner assembly
The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the Engine
Start/Stop Button is ON to determine
if a crash impact is severe enough to
require air bag deployment or pre-
tensioner seat belt deployment.

Safety system of your vehicle02
(Continued)
When a child is seated in rear seats (not in the rear center
seat) equipped with side/cur-
tain air bags, make sure to
install the child restraint as far
away from the door as possi-
ble, and securely lock the
child restraint in position.
Inflation of side/curtain air
bags may cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.
OVI035116N
The side air bags are designed to
deploy only in a certain side-impact
collision, depending on an impact
severity, an angle, a speed and a
direction. The side air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side-impact
crashes.
2-59
Safety system of your vehicle02
Do not allow occupants to lean
their heads or bodies toward
doors, to put their arms on the
doors, to stretch their arms out
of the window, or to place
objects between the doors and
the occupant, when they occu-
py the seat equipped with side
and/or curtain air bags.
WARNING
The side air bag is supplemen-tal to the seat belt system, not
a substitute. Therefore, your
seat belt must be fastened at
all times while the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy
only in a certain side impact,
which is severe enough to
cause significant injury.
For the maximum protection from side air bags and to
avoid injury by a deploying
side air bag, all occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with a seat belt properly
fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel in the 9:00-o'clock
and 3:00-o'clock position. The
passenger' arms and hands
should be placed on their
laps.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use any accessoryseat covers.
Use of a seat cover may reduce the system effects or
prevent the system operation.
Do not install any accessories over or near the side air bags.
Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself.
Do not place any objects (i.e. umbrella and bag) between a
door and a seat. Such objects
may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and may cause injury,
when a side air bag inflates.
To prevent inadvertent deployment of a side air bag,
which may result in personal
injury, avoid any impact on the
air bag sensor, when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
When a seat or a seat cover is damaged, have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer
because your vehicle is
equipped with side air bags
and an occupant classifica-
tion system.
WARNING
Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect
the passengers' heads in the front
and the rear seats (excluding the
rear center seat) in a certain side
impact collision.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only in a certain side-impact
collision, depending on an impact
severity, an angle, a speed and a
direction. The curtain air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
situations, a frontal/rear collision or
most rollovers.
2-60
Safety system of your vehicle
OVI035084N
OVI035074N
In order to get best protectionfrom the side and curtain air
bags, occupants of the front
and rear seats (excluding the
rear center seat) should sit in
an upright position with the
seat belts properly fastened.
Importantly, children should
sit in a proper child restraint
in a rear seat.
When a child is seated in a rear seat, the child must be
seated in a proper child
restraint. Make sure to install
a child restraint system as far
away from a door as possible,
and secure the child restraint
system in a locked position.
Do not allow the occupants to lean their heads or bodies
onto doors, to put their arms
on the doors, to stretch their
arms out of the window, or to
place objects between the
doors and passengers, when
occupying in the seat
equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
Never attempt to modify or repair any components of the
side curtain air bag system.
This should be done only by
an authorized EQUUS dealer.
Failure to follow the above
instructions may result in injury
or death in an accident.
